Biography

Antonio A. Colella’s biography consists of two parts: A professional career as an Aerospace Systems Engineer and his astrophysics research during retirement.

His Aerospace Systems Engineering career was at Computer Technology Associates (1994 to 2003), IBM/Lockheed Martin (1970 to 1994), GE (1966 to 1970), and Unisys (1961 to 1966). His expertise was system specification and system integration/test requirements for complex electronic projects including: FAA En-route and Terminal Air Traffic Control systems; Weather and Radar Processor; FBI Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System; Global Positioning System (GPS); Nuclear submarine sonar trainers; LAMPS helicopter flight, tactical, and maintenance trainers; AEGIS Combat System; Manned Orbiting Laboratory (MOL) and simulator; World Wide Military Command and Control System; SAFEGUARD Missile Defense System (PAR, MSR, BMDC); and Phased Array Radars (HAPDAR, RESER).

His astrophysics research articles included: A Theory of Everything (TOE) solution, a Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) solution, definition of permanent Higgs forces as dark energy, and constituent definition of all our universe’s objects including stellar black holes. Specifically, “A TOE Physics Solution using a Two-Step Integrated Physics/Mathematics Methodology” was the superset article and consisted of interrelated amplified requirements or “New Physics” requirements. The three article goals were: First, “Everything” was defined as 20 interrelated amplified constituent theories including; superstring, particle creation, inflation, Higgs forces, spontaneous symmetry breaking, superpartner and Standard Model (SM) decays, neutrino oscillations, dark matter, universe expansions, dark energy, messenger particles, relative strengths of forces/Hierarchy problem, Super Universe (multiverse), stellar black holes (stars and galaxies), black hole entropy, arrow of time, cosmological constant problem, black hole information paradox, baryogenesis, and quantum gravity. Second, 19 key outstanding TOE physics questions were answered including what are: Higgs forces, the fundamental matter and force particles equivalent of Mendeleev’s Periodic Table of elements, stellar black holes, inflation and spontaneous symmetry breaking potential field functions, quantum fluctuations of fundamental particles, physical and mathematical singularities, and the seven extra dimensions; what is: dark energy, dark matter, super supersymmetry (SSUSY) of Higgs particles, the border between quantum gravity and classical physics or Schrodinger wave function applicability, the boundary between quantum gravity and general relativity, our universe’s implementation of the It from Qubit (IfQ) concept, and particle entanglement; and what caused: the start of our universe, hierarchy problem, black hole information paradox, baryogenesis, and the cosmological constant problem? Third, correct inputs were provided for the two part second mathematics step which followed, an amplification of the existing SM mathematical solution for particles and an N-body simulation for cosmology.

His academic background included: the Cooper Union (BSEE 1960), Princeton University (MSEE 1961), and Columbia University (Professional Degree in Industrial Management 1965). All degrees were obtained on scholarships/fellowships (NY State, Emil Schweinberg, Cooper Union, and Orson Desaix Munn) and with highest academic honors (First in Cooper freshman class, Tau Beta Pi, etc.).

A major motivator for his Aerospace Systems Engineering career and astrophysics research was his greater than 99% hearing loss at age 13.
