RE: Your articles in ArXiv (169) particularly Complex Scalar fields in Scalar-Tensor and Scalar-Torsion theories (Oct 9, 2022); your collaboration at Snowmass 2021, Fermilab, Cosmology Intertwined IV: The Age of the Universe and its Curvature (PDF), with Eleonora diValentino (Manchester), Alessandro Melchiorri, Joseph Silk, Laura Mersini-Houghton, and others (2020); and your homepage(s): CV PDF, Google Scholar, iNSPIREHEP, ORCID, even your Doctoral Thesis PDF (2014), and your SCOAP3 and your lecture, Group Invariant Transformations in Cosmology (PDF), 2016.

Dear Dr. Andronikos Paliathanasis:
Converting our 18.5 tredecillion PlanckSpheres per second to the standard Hubble constant units (km/s/Mpc) involves multiplying by the distance conversion factor (1 Mpc ≈ 3.086 × 10^{19} km). It yields approximately 71 km/s/Mpc—remarkably close to observed values from supernovae measurements (~73 km/s/Mpc).
Meaningful? We’ve been touting the 18.5 figure for years.
Thank you.
Most sincerely,
Bruce

Dear Dr. Andronikos Paliathanasis:
Reading those arXiv articles where you are the sole author, I was delighted to see something as recent as October 11, 2022.
My 1970s work was focused on the EPR paradox; I had some time with Bell in CERN, and with Aspect, Costa de Beauregard, and JP Vigier in Paris, but in 1980, I had to go in another direction.
In 2011, I unwittingly picked it back up again as a result of doing a base-2 mapping of the universe from Planck’s base units with high school students.
So, now I am enjoying your writings, slowly working through Complex Scalar fields in Scalar-Tensor… just one of your 163 ArXiv articles. I am attempting to discern the proper use of terms within scalar field theory: https://81018.com/penultimate/#Scalar
1. I appreciate the overview of scalar field theory within your introduction.
2. If your reference to inflation is a defacto nod to big bang theories, that’s unfortunate. I’ll dig down into your statement: “An inflationary model with a complex scalar field was proposed in [26].”
Thank you for all that you do to help clarify difficult issues.
Warmly,
Bruce
