Mohamed Haj Yousef is a writer and researcher whose work brings physics and cosmology into conversation with philosophy and Ibn al-Arabi’s account of time and creation. He developed the Single Monad Model of the Cosmos (SMM) and the Duality of Time Theory (DTT), and authored the associated book series.
His central question is how an apparently extended, changing world can arise from a common generative source. On SMONAD, that question is explored through historical studies, conceptual explanations, mathematical models and publication records.
The CV records a Physics Department affiliation at the United Arab Emirates University in Al Ain. The career dates below follow that document; current institutional details should be checked through the faculty profile.
