Mathematical Models of Agricultural Cycles in Tribal Astronomy
Abstract: This paper delves into the intricate connection between traditional tribal agricultural practices and astronomical observations, showcasing how indigenous communities have historically relied on celestial movements to guide essential farming activities. By observing the phases of the moon, solar cycles, and the positions of star constellations, tribes have developed precise methods for determining the optimal timing for planting, harvesting, and seasonal planning. These astronomical practices are deeply embedded in their cultural …

Gravitational Wave Astronomy (2015–2026): From Historic Discoveries to Quantum Detection Frontiers
Abstract: Since the landmark detection of GW150914 by the LIGO Scientific Collaboration in 2015, gravitational wave (GW) astronomy has transitioned from a theoretical frontier to a robust observational science. This breakthrough confirmed a major prediction of General Relativity and inaugurated an entirely new method for observing the universe. Over the past decade, continuous upgrades to ground-based interferometers such as LIGO, Virgo Collaboration, and KAGRA have dramatically improved detector sensitivity, enabling the …
