Robert Louis Oldershaw ; (13 November 1946 – 9 August 2021) was an American physicist who made important contributions to such model of cosmology as Infinite Hierarchical Nesting of Matter and to discrete scale relativity in Scale dimension.[1] [2] [3]

Life[edit]

Oldershaw credits Mr. Evans, his 8th grade science class at John J. Lynch Junior High School in Holyoke in 1961 with sparking an interest in fractal patterns, followed by Suffield Academy and Colby College.

Following a brief stint in the Air Force, Oldershaw continued his education at the University of Washington, Seattle, where he received Chemistry and Oceanography S. B. degree in 1975. Thereafter he returned to the East Coast to work at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute as a research assistant, joining many ocean voyages with stops across Europe, Africa and South America, engaged in quantitative radioactive analysis.

From 1978 to 1980 Oldershaw has contributed to the Oceanographic Literature Review as a writer and technical editor. From 1980 to 1994 he worked as a research assistant in biochemistry and electrophysiology as a head of the laboratory flow cytometry, was National Graduate Education Program Consultant. From 1989 to 2000 Oldershaw worked as an assistant editor of American Journal of Physics and studied in 1995 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the field of in-depth study of technical English. Oldershaw was also associated with Dartmouth College, University of Massachusetts Amherst and Amherst College as author of numerous papers in astrophysics.

Oldershaw married Patricia Wadsworth in 1982 and had two children Catherine and William.[4]

Scientific achievements[edit]

Since 1978 there were about 66 scientific papers by Oldershaw in the theory of a self-similar universe, a niche field of astrophysics and cosmology with many open questions.[5]

Robert Oldershaw was one of the three most famous physicists at Amherst College. [6]

The main objects of research for Oldershaw were space systems of different sizes, between which similarity of matter levels is found.

Oldershaw not only took part in the discussion of the progress of the new physics,[7] [8] [9] but he himself substantiated a new self-similar cosmological paradigm[10] and principle of scale covariance.[11]

In 2010, Oldershaw computed proton radius using the strong gravitational constant, and masses of particles based on similarity of dependence of particles mass square on their spin in Regge theory with a similar dependence found for black holes.[12]
