Publication Status and Peer-Reviewed Validation of Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM)

Soumendra Nath Thakur | October 16, 2025

The clarification regarding the publication status of Extended Classical Mechanics: Vol-1 — Equivalence Principle, Mass and Gravitational Dynamics (Rev-2) is straightforward. The volume presently remains in preprint circulation for scholarly discussion and citation purposes; however, the theoretical framework and principles of ECM have already undergone peer-review scrutiny through other published works. Notably, the paper titled A Nuanced Perspective on Dark Energy: Extended Classical Mechanics by the same author has been peer-reviewed and published by the Magnivel International Group, and is available via their platform (publication link).

This peer-reviewed publication establishes ECM’s scientific consistency and provides direct validation for its central propositions — including frequency-governed kinetic energy, negative apparent mass (−Mᵃᵖᵖ), and effective mass-energy transition mechanisms that reinterpret conventional gravitational and cosmological models. The paper’s acceptance within an international peer-reviewed framework affirms ECM’s theoretical soundness and its compatibility with empirical reasoning, thereby strengthening its role as a mathematically consistent and physically explanatory framework beyond conventional relativity and ΛCDM assumptions.

Accordingly, the label “not yet published” applies only to the specific compilation volume (Rev-2) still under preprint dissemination, and not to the underlying ECM model itself — which has already achieved peer-reviewed publication status in related research articles based entirely on the ECM framework. Hence, ECM stands as a rigorously developed, peer-acknowledged, and openly accessible body of scientific work with continuing refinement and public documentation.
