Charles Nunno is a Canadian independent researcher based in Toronto, Ontario, who writes on alternative cosmology and astrophysics. He is associated with the Electric Universe Theory community and is a proponent of the stellar metamorphosis hypothesis, an alternative model of star and planet formation.
Biography
Nunno is based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and works as an independent researcher outside of mainstream academic institutions. His publicly available writings, distributed as electronic preprints, focus on cosmology and the origins of stars and planets.
Work
Nunno's published work builds on the theory of stellar metamorphosis, which was originated by Jeffrey Wolynski. The theory proposes that star formation and planet formation are not distinct processes but are two stages of a single continuous phenomenon, so that bodies commonly classified as planets are treated as advanced, cooled stages of stellar evolution. In his paper "Earth" Was Once a "Star" (2015), Nunno presents this hypothesis as an alternative to the conventional nebular hypothesis of astronomy and discusses what he describes as its educational, economic, and social implications.
In a related paper, Genesis Equation (2015), Nunno critiques the Drake equation, arguing that it is ineffective for its intended purpose, and proposes a reformulation informed by the stellar metamorphosis theory. He introduces what he terms a "Genesis constant" and a "Genesis stage" as the basis for his alternative approach.
His positions align with the broader Electric Universe Theory and dissident-cosmology community, which emphasizes the role of electricity and plasma in astrophysical phenomena and questions elements of standard cosmological models.
