Lucile Y. Jean-Pierre Garnier Malet

    A physicist with a doctorate in fluid mechanics, this author developed the Theory of the Doubling of Space and Time. His academic journey was unconventional; despite being a gifted student accepted into prestigious institutions, his true passion lay in cinema. Pressured by family, he pursued physics, where his unorthodox approach to fulfilling requirements led to him being noticed by professors. His groundbreaking work in fluid mechanics, resulting in publication with the Academy of Sciences and equipping his university with its first computer, was so significant it required special dispensations to complete his studies. He ultimately chose to interrupt a promising career in military research to pursue architecture and filmmaking, while continuing to explore his own theories independently.
