Physics of Cold

Physics of Cold: A Monograph presents an original and speculative theoretical framework that redefines cold not as the absence of heat, but as a fundamental, active form of energy. In this work, author Mihail Banov explores the idea that cold may be the organizing principle behind the structure of space, the flow of time, the expansion of the universe, and the nature of gravity and dark energy. This conceptual model proposes a radical alternative to classical thermodynamics and cosmology. It introduces key hypotheses, such as: the universe expands in order to cool; time emerges from gradients of cold; gravity is a manifestation of cold fields; and dark matter is composed of absolutely cold, non-radiating substance. The monograph includes philosophical arguments, conceptual equations, and speculative applications in both physics and metaphysics. While not grounded in empirical data, the work invites readers to reconsider the foundational assumptions of physical science and proposes new directions for thought and inquiry. Written in accessible language and structured as a progression from theory to implications, this monograph is intended for physicists, philosophers of science, and anyone interested in alternative paradigms of the universe.
