Best Practices for Accessing, Viewing, and Editing James Webb Space Telescope Imagery: A Comprehensive Review
Abstract: This literature review comprehensively synthesizes the evolving best practices for the full lifecycle of James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) imagery, from initial data retrieval to final public-facing aesthetic processing. The primary research themes cover Data Access and Archival, Scientific Calibration and Processing, and Aesthetic Visualization and Presentation. The review establishes that the cornerstone of…

High-Redshift Cosmology in the JWST Era: ΛCDM Tension, Early Massive Galaxies, and the 21 cm Frontier
Abstract: Tracing the Universe’s Origins High-redshift cosmology (z≳6), spanning the Cosmic Dawn and the Epoch of Reionization (EoR), currently stands as the central frontier of astrophysics. This review synthesizes recent findings, particularly those enabled by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), against the backdrop of the standard ΛCDM cosmological model. JWST has fundamentally altered the…

Rotational Dynamics and Vorticity Across Scales: A Unified Literature Review of Fluid Helicity, Cosmic Structures, and Optical Angular Momentum (OAM)
Abstract This structured literature review synthesizes the concepts of rotational dynamics and vortical structures across three traditionally distinct physical domains: classical fluid mechanics, relativistic cosmology, and quantum optics. The review establishes a unifying Gradient Principle, whereby the core dynamic effects in all systems—from fluid flow to structured light—are governed by the spatial gradients of their…

Emergent Gravity and Decoherence: A Comparative Review of the Entropic Force Paradigm and Quantum Noise Signatures
Abstract This literature review explores the radical paradigm of emergent gravity, which posits that gravitational interaction is not a fundamental force, but a statistical phenomenon arising from quantum information and the thermodynamics of spacetime. We establish that this approach interprets general relativity as a macroscopic, effective theory—analogous to classical thermodynamics—derived from the coarse-grained behavior of…

The 9:1 Battle for Time: The Operational Framework and the Dual-Anonymous System that Selects the Universe’s Next Great Discoveries
Summary, Step-by-Step Guide to JWST Proposal Success, and Comprehensive Proposal Checklist The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) was designed with multiple, complementary access policies—primarily the General Observer (GO) program (open competition), the Guaranteed Time Observations (GTO) (rewarding instrument developers with about 16% of the first three cycles), and Director’s Discretionary Time (DDT) (reserved for time-critical…

Entropic Gravity Explained: How Quantum Thermodynamics Could Replace Gravitons
Impact on Spaceflight Operations For decades, physicists have understood fundamental forces like electromagnetism and gravity as being mediated by quantum fields and virtual particles, such as photons and gravitons. At the same time, some forces in nature—like pressure in a gas—emerge not from fundamental interactions but from thermodynamic principles, driven by entropy and free energy.…

Plasma Jets in Vacuum – Literature Review
Executive Summary: A New Frontier in Engineering and Physics Plasma, the “fourth state of matter,” has emerged from the confines of astrophysics and fusion research to become a transformative technology at the heart of modern industry and advanced science. When harnessed in a vacuum or low-pressure environment, its unique properties offer an unparalleled degree of…

The Mysterious Discovery of JWST That No One Saw Coming
Are We Inside a Cosmic Whirlpool? Recent JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES) observations of mysterious cosmological anomalies in the rotational patterns of galaxies challenge our understanding of the universe and reveal surprising connections to natural growth patterns. The rotation of 263 galaxies has been studied by Lior Shamir of Kansas State University, with 158…
