a mind blowing theory about our universe, challenging the big bang concept, is being put forward by dr. anup rej today at 11:00 in geological survey of bangladesh, 153 pioneer road, segunbagicha.

i never stop being fascinated by the universe, as a kid i could spend hours just gazing at the stars. i met dr. anup rej here in dhaka a few months ago and found his new theory very appealing and believable. today he is holding a lecture for the first time in bangladesh. as one of my facebook friends said: "how extremely cool"! i think so too.

dr. anup rej is a bengali cosmologist and doctor in nuclear physics, his theory: "we live in a fractal universe, without beginning and end, though everywhere its ever-changing and undergoing birth, death and re-generation. the universe bears close similarity with the living world we observe around us. like the structures in geology, biology and botany the universe is a fractal built in a self-similar way. the stars, the galaxies, the clusters of galaxies etc. replicate the similar pattern differing in sizes by billions of times. time itself is rooted in a cosmic design, which is timeless."
