Fahad Shiftra

Fahad Shiftra (born 5 May 1980) is a Pakistan born self-taught mathematical physicist. His notable achievements in his career have included studies into the role of the Higgs boson in the grand unification theory and the moment of inertia of objects moving in a Bose Einstein condensate. It is hoped his equation will reveal the secret of how a sub-atomic particle behaves when placed under extreme conditions.

Personal life

Born in Karachi, Fahad Shiftra grew up in one of the poorest regions of Pakistan. Unable to go to University, Shiftra worked as a shoe cleaner until the age of 12 in order to support his family. However, by the age of 15, and with a family now able to care for itself, he began to purchase math and science textbooks from local scholars. In fact, it was one of the scholars that he bought the textbook from who recognised his potential as a mathematician. Prof. Dr. Rana Khalid Naeem of Karachi University wrote in 1996 that [Karachi University Archives]

"I have rarely seen such an enthusiastic attitude towards mathematics. Fahads curiosity is a gift that could bring him great knowledge"

This prediction seemed to come true in 2000 when he presented his first paper to the physics professors and lecturers at New Delhi University. In his presentation Shiftra successfully displayed an understanding and ingenious ability to combine existing problems in the physics world in order to explain the behaviour of sub-atomic particles when under extreme conditions. One lecturer claimed that it was a miracle that a man without a university education behind him could understand and explain in such detail the complex world of quantum mechanics. At present, Shiftra is currently living with his wife Sasha in Pakistan with their two sons Henry and Lennon.

Work and Theories

When studying the behaviour of particles under intense pressure, Shiftra noticed a relationship between a Fourier series wave and its movement in a Bose Einstein condensate.

Taking (a1 cos t + b1 sin t) as the fundamental of the particles wave form, Shiftra introduced the particles quantum numbers into the derivation so that:

$int\_\{a\}^\{b\}f(x),dx=F(b)-F(a)$

He noticed that this bore a resemblance to the condition:

$sum\_\{n=1\}^inftyfrac\{mu(n)\}\{n^s\}$

For the Riemann hypothesis.

Combining this with the Fourier series for the wave, you arrive at:

$f\text{'}(x)=piint\{-1\}^\{1\}\_lim\_\{0\; o\; x\}\{cos(x)+sin(x)\}$

However, this is not correct for an object moving in a Bose-Einstein condensate. So, integrating with limits y=1 and y=-1 and developing from previous equations you arrive at:

$f(x)=piint\_\{-1\}^\{1\}lim\_\{-1\}^\{1\}\{sin(x)-cos(x)\}-int\_\{-pi\}^\{mu\}\{mu(x)-ln(x)\}$

Which is known as "Fahads law". This is a completely theoretical formula that can only be used when dealing with particles at high energy levels.
