Attention is drawn to a newly suggested modification to the matter/antimatter theory advanced by
Omnès in 1969. The new suggestion is dependent on the existence of supermassive black holes and is
an attempt to invalidate the major objections to that earlier version of the theory. Here it is
noted that many of the results derived apply equally well if the massive body involved is a Michell
dark body. Mention is also made of the alternative theory advanced in 2006 by Santilli.

With the assumption that the current mission of the International Space Station (ISS) will draw to
a close by 2020, redeployment options are explored and contrasted for ISS components in the
post-2020 timeframe. Low Earth Orbit (LEO) redeployment options explored include a depot
assembly facility and a refueling facility. Beyond LEO redeployment options explored include an
assembly and refueling facility at the Earth-Moon L1 Lagrange point, a solar observing and / or
energy collection facility at the Earth-Sun L1 Lagrange point, an astronomical observation
facility at the Earth-Sun L2 Lagrange point, a lunar orbiting facility, and a Martian orbiting
facility. The cost of boosting ISS components to new orbits is considered as part of the study of
these latter options, as is any retrofit or modification of components required by these new
missions. Logistics requirements are also included in the cost of each option. All architectural
options are analyzed using Living Systems Theory [Miller, 1978] and the Hatley-Pirbhai context
diagram template. Technical risk and maturity is analyzed, and a parametric cost model is
developed. Cost benefit analyses are performed for each of the selected redeployment missions
using Pugh matrix and quality functional deployment (QFD) methodologies for an overall
recommendation based on the currently enunciated goals as described by the 2009 Augustine
Commission on human space flight (HSF).

This article suggests a preliminary version of a Cantorian
superfluid vortex hypothesis as a plausible model of nonlinear
cosmology. Though some parts of the proposed theory
resemble several elements of what have been proposed by
Consoli (2000, 2002), Gibson (1999), Nottale (1996, 1997,
2001, 2002a), and Winterberg (2002b), it seems such a
Cantorian superfluid vortex model instead of superfluid or
vortex theory alone has never been proposed before.
Implications of the proposed theory will be discussed
subsequently, including prediction of some new outer planets
in solar system beyond Pluto orbit. Therefore further
observational data is recommended to falsify or verify these
predictions. If the proposed hypothesis corresponds to the
observed facts, then it could be used to solve certain unsolved
problems, such as gravitation instability, clustering, vorticity
and void formation in galaxies, and the distribution of planet
orbits both in solar system and also exoplanets.
