Description
Common sense sometimes gives a false indication of reality. As a result, the "reality" of other truths go unnoticed.
For example, many people of the fifteenth century believed the earth was flat, even though they could see the circular shadow of the earth moving across the moon during a lunar eclipse.
However, Christopher Columbus along with many educated people of that time realized this to be an indication that the earth might be spherical.
He trusted both his intellect and his senses more than the conventional wisdom of the time and sailed to a new world of knowledge and understanding.
Similarly this book shows how one can by observing his or her environment gain a better understanding of the reality of our world.Â
Quantum mechanics and Einstein's Relativistic Theories have been the most successful scientific theories of modern times however; attempts to unify them and define "A Theory of Everything" have been unsuccessful.
This is because there exists an incompatibility between the microscopic universe described by quantum mechanics and the macroscopic one described by Einstein's theories.
Einstein's theories define the macroscopic universe in terms of the existence of a continuous space-time metric while quantum theories define the microscopic world of particles in terms of discontinuous units. Therefore, these two theories are inherently incompatible because the universe cannot be both continuous and discontinuous at the same time.
However, this book demonstrates that one can define a common mechanism responsible for both the relativistic properties of space and time and the quantum mechanical properties of momentum and position by defining a universe in terms of a continuous non-quantized field of energy/mass and four *spatial* dimensions instead of four dimensional space-time.
Chapter one will postulate that space is composed four *spatial* dimensions and a continuous field of energy/mass.
Chapter two will derive the quantum mechanical or particle properties of energy/mass in terms of discrete energies associated with resonant "structures" formed in a continuous non-quantized field of energy/mass.
Chapter three will define the wave properties of particles in terms resonant system or structure formed by oscillations of a matter wave moving on a continuous "surface" of a three-dimensional space manifold with respect to a fourth *spatial* dimension.
Therefore, Chapters two and three provide a bridge between the discontinuous or quantum mechanical and wave properties of particles in terms of a continuous non-quantized field of energy/mass and four *spatial* dimensions.
Time will be defined as only being a measure of the sequential ordering of the causality of an event, while the causality of gravity, momentum and the quantum mechanical properties of energy/mass will be derived in terms of the physical properties of four *spatial* dimensions. It will then be individually linked to each coordinate plane of four-dimensional space by the mathematical and experimental observed sequential ordering of events that occur in each coordinate plane.
Chapter fifteen will derive the relativistic properties of space and time and the equivalence between gravity and accelerated reference frames terms of the geometry of four *spatial* dimensions.
Â
This suggests that redefining the physical structure of the universe (as is done in this book) in terms of the existence of a continuous non-quantized field of energy/mass and four *spatial* dimensions instead of four dimensional space time may enable physicists to define a common unifying mechanism responsible for both the quantum mechanical and relativistic properties of our universe.
The universe's most powerful enabling tool is not
knowledge or understanding but imagination
because it extends the reality of
one's environment.
