El Naschie (J. Afifi El Naschie)

J. Afifi El Naschie is an Egyptian physicist known for his controversial theories in theoretical physics, particularly in the field of fractal geometry and its applications to quantum physics. He proposed ideas surrounding "energy levels" in particles that incorporate fractal patterns, suggesting they could explain complex physical phenomena. El Naschie also gained notoriety for his work's unconventional aspects, leading to debates about scientific rigor and peer review. While some of his concepts have been criticized, he has contributed to discussions on the intersection of mathematics and physics, stimulating interest in exploring non-traditional approaches to understanding the universe.
