FEATURED SPEAKERS

Seth Hargett

Founder, OmniCore Tech

Seth Adam Hargett is the founder of OmniCore Tech and an independent researcher, inventor, musician, artist, and science communicator whose work explores resonance, consciousness, sacred geometry, and wave-field dynamics. Drawing inspiration from both modern science and ancient wisdom traditions, he seeks to bridge science, philosophy, and direct experience through innovative research and creative exploration.

Presentation

The Way of the Wave

Seth explores the wave principle as a recurring pattern found throughout nature, consciousness, geometry, and the creative process. Drawing connections between Walter Russell, Nikola Tesla, Buckminster Fuller, and ancient wisdom traditions, he shares how these ideas shaped the development of OmniCore Tech while inviting audiences to recognize their own role in humanity's ongoing journey of discovery and evolution

Eleftherios Argyropoulos

Mathematician • Researcher • Author

Eleftherios Argyropoulos is a mathematician, researcher, author, and educator whose work spans number theory, geometry, linear algebra, and the mathematical structure of the Hellenic language. His interdisciplinary research bridges mathematics, language, science, and ancient wisdom traditions, offering unique insights into the underlying patterns and principles of the universe.

Presentation

The Architecture of the Universal One: Decoding the Mathematical Intelligence and Cosmic Logic of the Greek Language

Explore the fascinating relationship between mathematics, language, and the underlying order of the universe. Drawing on decades of research into number theory and the Greek language, Eleftherios examines how mathematical patterns may be embedded within language itself and how these ideas connect with Walter Russell's vision of a rhythmic, interconnected universe.

Jason Verbelli

Independent Researcher • Author

Jason Verbelli is an independent researcher and experimenter specializing in alternative energy technologies and the physics of emerging scientific concepts. With more than 10,000 hours of laboratory and machine shop experience, he has authored four books examining alternative approaches to modern physics while pursuing technologies that promote greater self-sufficiency and scientific understanding.

Presentation

Galilean Variance: The Illusion of Re-Emissions

Jason examines one of the foundational assumptions of modern relativity—the invariance of the speed of light—and presents an alternative interpretation rooted in experimental observation. His presentation explores the broader implications of this perspective and its potential impact on our understanding of classical physics.

Gabi Kovalenko

Social Entrepreneur • Modern Philosopher

Gabi Kovalenko is a social entrepreneur and modern philosopher whose work explores human coherence and alignment with universal order. Combining modern scientific research with perennial philosophy, she presents a practical framework for personal and collective transformation rooted in universal principles.

Presentation

Coherence as a Science of Living: Alignment with The Universal One

In this keynote presentation, Gabi explores what it means to embody the principles of universal cosmology in everyday life. Drawing from consciousness research, systems thinking, and timeless wisdom traditions, she presents coherence as a measurable quality of being that reflects our alignment with universal law.
