From Heating Engineer to Cosmologist: The Birth of Crowton’s Cosmogenic Field Theory (CCFT)By Richard Lee CrowtonPublished: May 6, 2025 (Timestamped Origin of CCFT)

How a heating engineer’s systems mindset led to the creation of Crowton’s Cosmogenic Field Theory (CCFT), first published May 6, 2025.

Introduction

In the world of science, most breakthroughs are expected to come from universities, research institutes, or teams backed by millions in funding. But sometimes, an idea emerges from outside the walls of academia — forged in unexpected places. My journey began not in a laboratory, but on the rooftops, boiler rooms, and pipe networks of the United Kingdom, working as a heating engineer.

And yet, that very trade taught me something profound: systems must be tested, pressure must be measured, and every imbalance leaves a trace. This mindset eventually became the foundation for my original cosmological work — Crowton’s Cosmogenic Field Theory (CCFT).

The Birth of an Idea

For 15 years I worked on industrial and commercial heating systems, pressure-testing hospitals, medical centers, and schools. Over time, I began to see parallels between these engineered systems and the largest system of all — the universe itself.

In 2020, while struggling with personal health challenges, I found myself asking deeper questions about entropy, time, and the role of black holes in shaping reality. Slowly, I started piecing together an alternative to the mainstream cosmological view:

• What if black holes were not destructive endpoints?

• What if they acted as regenerative gateways, feeding matter and energy back into the cosmos?

• What if entropy and curvature feedback governed this process, just as pressure and flow govern engineered systems?

These questions became the seeds of CCFT.

May 6, 2025 — The Timestamp

On May 6, 2025, I formally published the first version of my theory on Zenodo, making it part of the permanent scientific record. This date marks the birth of CCFT, and every update since then has built upon that foundation.

For me, the timestamp is more than just a date — it is evidence of precedence, ensuring that the core idea of regenerative black holes and the Transfer Interface Field (TIF) is recorded as my contribution to cosmology.

The Core of CCFT

At its heart, Crowton’s Cosmogenic Field Theory proposes three key principles:

1. Black holes are regenerative — not dead ends, but engines of cosmic renewal.

2. Entropy–Curvature Feedback — a process where accumulated entropy destabilizes curvature, triggering a transition.

3. Transfer Interface Field (TIF) — a tensor-based field that transfers matter, energy, and information across scales, seeding nebulae and star systems.

Together, these principles form a new framework for understanding the universe — one that challenges the traditional singularity model.

Why My Background Matters

Being a heating engineer may seem far removed from cosmology, but it gave me an advantage:

• I was trained to test systems until they break.

• I learned to see feedback loops where others saw only outputs.

• I never accepted a “fine” reading without stress-testing the full system.

CCFT was developed with the same approach — testing ideas against observations, simulations, and the scrutiny of both humans and AI.

Looking Ahead

CCFT is still young, but it has already been validated through AI simulations, aligned with observations from JWST and LIGO, and has introduced original concepts such as the Crowton Limit (a tipping point 2–3 billion years after the Big Bang).

What began in boiler rooms and rooftops has now entered the scientific arena. This blog series will document the journey — from the first sparks of inspiration to a theory that could redefine our understanding of the universe.
