Ohad Manor

Manor Ohad (July 16, 1994) is a theoretical physicist and mathematician, known for his thesis attempting at grand unification of physics, as well as the suggested relationship between particle physics to number theory. Most of Manor theoretical work is based upon existing mathematical disciplines, such as calculus of variations, differential geometry and General relativity.

Manor was born on July 16, 1994, in Tel Aviv, Israel to Nina (née Kaduri; 1965-), a teacher, and Ilan (1961-), a sales manager. Manor's Parents were born in Israel and both were raised as Jewish. Manor Studied at Kiryat Sheret High school.

The young Manor was heavily influenced by Richard Feynman, who inspired him via his popular books to peruse career in physics to challenge orthodox thinking, and to attempt seeking the simplest explanations. As a child, he had a talent for mathematics, entering the advance stage of the math olympiad at 2008. The young Manor maintained a set of journals which he wrote mainly classical poetry in a form of short poems, and delighted in the process of creation and analysis. Writing was the first skill that Manor exceled at, and during this time he showed early signs of an aptitude for his later career in theoretical physics.

Education

Upon finishing his service, Manor started studying several different academic disciplines before choosing to study Physics and mathematics at the Open University. Coming from a poor economical background, Manor was unable to pay the University tuition fees. That led Manor to complete the physical studies on his own, and to become Autodidact. Manor Studied Physics from the series of Caltech books "The Feynman Lectures of Physics", which had a major effect on him, and motivated him to develop a communication style similar to that of Feynman.

Manor was also heavily influenced by Cornelius Lanczos book "The Calculus of variations" which caused Manor to emphasize on that mathematical discipline in his later Independent academic work.

In 2018, Manor Started self educating himself on Pure Mathematics and advanced Quantum physics, by purchasing and learning from second hand textbooks from Amazon. During this period he was heavily influenced by The works of Steven Weinberg "The Quantum theory of Fields", Mark Thompson, the mathematicians Gilbert Strang and Timothy Gowers. During that period Manor was able to build a small academic library, consisting of the works of the past and current leading figures in the field of physics and mathematics. According the Manor, The vast range of academic sources and the freedom granted to him by taking the path of autodidact is what inspired him to peruse the long standing question of grand unification.

Thesis

Manor started working on his thesis in 2019. During that time He did not have direct advisor, and that is evident in the flawed forms of his early writings, from early 2021. Upon uploading his first pre-prints, He started conversing with computer scientist, Alfredo Sepulveda, on a social network of academics. Sepulveda analyzed Manor's early pre-prints and given him constant feedback and advice on how to refine his ideas, notation wise. Manor considers Sepulveda to be his advisor because of his constant feedback, and the major style adjustments that followed as a result of Sepulveda's advice.

Manor and Sepulveda never met in person. Sepulveda was the only person to give Manor advice on this work and could be the first to recognize it's potential impact. As a gesture of respect, Manor has offered to mention Sepulveda as his thesis advisor. Manor's thesis was completed in 2022, It contains 1063 pages and was downloaded above 35,000 times.
