After discussing a quirk of nature, Richard Feynman, the renowned physicist, in his book QED stated: "… the more you see how strangely nature behaves, the harder it is to make a model that explains how even the simplest phenomenon actually works. So theoretical physics has given up on that." Einstein described quantum entanglement, a linchpin of quantum theory as "spooky action at a distance." The well-known Paul Dirac echoed this when he said, "The only object of theoretical physics is to calculate results that can be compared with experiment. It is quite unnecessary that any satisfying description of the whole course of the phenomenon be given." One might view physics as God's magic trick with physicist content with describing the illusion, not caring about how the trick works.
Don Wortzman's unification of quantum, relativity, and cosmology theories is the exact antithesis of this in that his model of the universe does not limit itself to formulae and calculation, but presents an understanding of how nature actually works. Not surprisingly, his model is a wide departure from the current paradigm, but once accepted, physics becomes logical. From its inside the universe is four dimensions, consisting of three which are conspicuous, and a hidden fourth. The universe is expanding at the speed of light in this fourth dimension. Each of these four Euclidean dimensions is really coiled around a three-dimensional hyper-cylinder, the size of an atom, making the entire universe twelve dimensions.
Physics phenomena that this theory explains include such things as the design of the universe, how gravity and magnets work, and how an object can be a particle and a wave at the same time. Interestingly, the well known mc2 supposed intrinsic energy of matter is really kinetic energy of a mass moving at the speed of light in the expanding universe. By a process of reverse engineering he has taken the known physics anomalies and structured a model of the universe that makes them completely logical.
WHAT"S WRONG WITH PHYSICS
Often it is said that the current physics theories have been through many tests, and each time it re-confirmed the current paradigm. Nothing could be further from the truth. Inconsistencies are ignored, until some outrageous side theory is devised that allegedly explains it, allowing the pretext to continue. The following is a partial list that highlights what's wrong with physics.
Inflation Theory: General Relativity, as originally envisioned, could not explain the uniformity of matter in the universe and the uniform cosmic background radiation, a remnant from the big bang. To obviate this dilemma, inflation theory, which is nothing like relativity and lacks any independent evidence, was invented.
Expansion Theory: There is no evidence of the kinetic energy that should be accompanying the expanding universe. In addition distant galaxies moving away from us close to the speed of light should appear packed closer together. Thus, expansion theory was devised that posits that nothing is really moving, but instead empty space is being created between the galaxies.
Illusive Dark Matter: The universe is shy of much too much visible matter to explain why galaxies hold together, and why light bends (lensing) so much around them. Consequently, it was concocted that 80-90 % of the matter in the universe is dark matter that can't be seen or otherwise detected, not even one atom's worth, yet nevertheless exerts gravitational pull…aether redux.
Accelerated Expansion Surprise: Analysis suggests that the universe is not simply expanding but that the expansion is accelerating. To explain this surprising result an adhoc constant of integration has been added to the General Relativity equations, representing dark energy. To this day, there has been no direct validation of this dark energy fudge factor. The only theory that might apply predicts many orders of magnitude more Acceleration.
Entangled Particles Illusion: These particles are able to stay in contact miles apart. The mechanism for so doing remains strange and physically unexplainable. Einstein even called it "spooky action at a distance." It's still an unresolved mystery.
Twin Slits Experiment: Atomic particles passing through dual slits one at a time make individual dots on a photo sensitive screen behind the slits, indicating that the particle has passed through only one of the slits. Nevertheless, the accumulation of these dots form a diffraction pattern indicating that each photon must have passed through both slits simultaneously, interfering with themselves. Both explanations can't be simultaneously true, without the fiction that its the inanimate probability that is doing the interfering.
Allais Effect: The gravitational pull on earth by the sun and moon combination increases as the two approach each other before an eclipse. This is expected, because both are then pulling in the same direction. However, when the eclipse actually occurs their gravitational pull mysteriously dips.
Pioneer 10 & 11 Probes Mystery: These space shots on leaving our solar system are being slowed by the sun's gravitational pull much more than would be expected. This ignored anomaly has no explanation consistent with current theory.
Mass Value Anomaly: The mass of inertia and gravity, two seemingly unrelated phenomena, surprisingly have the same value. This unresolved mystery dates back over 300 years to Newton, and is still no closer to being explained.
Matter Energy Equivalence: E=MC2, the conversion of matter to energy, is strange because M is also the mass of inertia and E has the units of kinetic energy without any apparent motion.
Electron-Nucleus Preclusion: Why aren't electrons ever pulled into the nucleus of atoms, since both are oppositely charged and are attracted to each other?
Non-Simultaneity Illogicality: Relativity posits that if two observers are in relative motion, A should observe B's clock going slower than its own. However, B should likewise observe A's clock going slower than its own. This reciprocity was invalidated in tests conducted on airplanes and satellites, challenging the notion of non-simultaneity.
Ehrenfest Paradox: There is no evidence that the length of objects shorten when in motion, as relativity predict. In fact, early on, the Ehrenfest showed that length shortening is problematic.
Delayed Choice Absurdity: According to accepted quantum theory interpretation, the delayed choice experiment, originally devised by John Wheeler, could demonstrate time going backwards. While in a lab setup it seemingly went backwards only a small fraction of a second, according to the original proposal, it can theoretically go back billions of years.
Gravitation-Acceleration Equivalence: This assertion, the cornerstone of general relativity, maintains that no experiment can be constructed to distinguish between the two. The fact that light bends twice as much by gravity than by acceleration makes the assertion patently false.
Stellar Aberration: Special relativity dictates that all motion is relative and no experiment can determine which body is actually moving. The same amount of stellar aberration, independent of a stars motion, for one, violates this principle.
Gravitational Lensing: The gravitational bending of light, one of the pillars of the acceptance of general relativity that captured the imagination of the world can be derived using only classical physics arguments.
Mercury's Perihelion Advance: The second cornerstone, possibly more persuasive to the physics community, was the calculation of Mercury's perihelion advance. This was less dramatic because it only involved explaining phenomena that was already known. Nevertheless, this calculation can now be done without invoking general relativity.
Forces of Attraction: There is no physical argument to justify why two separated atomic particles or celestial bodies should be attracted to each other. The physics jargon that the force is mediated by exchanging force particles conveys no credible information on how or why it happens.
Higgs Boson: The illusive Higgs particle, which supposedly would explain the origin of mass, and also gives all the force particles their oomph has been searched for to no avail. In addition, relating the graviton to all the other force particles has also not occurred. It is time to give up and look for a more plausible explanation.
Speed of Gravity: General relativity posits that the speed of gravity is equal to the speed of light. The lack of gravitational aberration from the sun gives ample evidence to suggest that gravitation's speed is much faster than lightspeed.
Anti-Matter Dilemma: The nature of anti-matter is one of the big mysteries of physics. Why an explosion ensues, annihilating both particles, when matter and anti-matter collide is physically unexplainable.
Particle Spin: Particle spin is another baffling mystery of physics. Since the spin velocity is so great that the outer shell of the particles would be moving much faster than lightspeed, it was dubiously decided that spin is purely a quantum effect with nothing actually spinning. It is said to have no classical counterpart, as if that jargon clears it up.
String Theory: This theory, which has been in forefront for thirty years with thousands of physicists working on it, has very little to show for itself. It is time to cut our losses.
Anthropic Principle: The parameters governing the workability of the universe are so precariously balanced that it had to be assumed that this universe is only one of an infinity of universes, all with different sets of parameters. The argument that this universe just happens to have those that allowed life to form has been dubbed the anthropic principle. Why should we need an infinity of universes to justify this one?
Relativity-Quantum Incongruity: It is widely acknowledged that relativity and quantum theories are at odds. But, actually it's worse, since cosmology theory is not aligned with either. Inflation, expansion, dark matter, and dark energy are peculiar to cosmology, and are not predicted by the others.
Lightspeed: Why are both matter and photons coincidentally limited by the same speed of light? What is the connection?
The point has been reached where we must accept that something is very wrong with our notion of physics, where the simplest observables cant be explained. Familiarity is not a substitute for understanding. It can't be fixed by just tweaking the current paragon. The Gyroverse is a completely new physics paradigm that makes sense from all this drivel. It resolves these issues, and much more.
BOOK OVERVIEW
There are too many unexplainable behaviors of the Universe that are not supported by our three-dimensional view. For a plausible explanation, a new physical construct of the universe is needed. Take, for example, the behavior of quantum ntanglement, the phenomena where particles that at one time interact, retain an uncanny awareness of each other, even after being separated by miles. This aberration can be explained if these particle are, in reality, very close to each other. Another seemingly unexplainable enigma that Isaac Newton was first to identify, is the equivalence of inertial, gravitational and energy mass. These are three seemingly unrelated phenomena that, on the surface, should not have the same mass value. However, they do, because they all have a common origin that is not apparent from the three-dimensional view of the universe. Many other unexplained natural occurrences will also be described in this book, each of which further helps to reveal the nature of the universe. Intuition, common sense, and logic can no longer be relied upon because the physical structure of the universe is very different from its appearance. This new gyroverse model of the universe explains these many mysterious anomalies. In this model, the universe is composed of twelve dimensions, which are related in shape to a hyper-cylinder with proportions the size of an atom. All matter is wrapped around the twelve-dimensional hyper-cylinder moving at the speed of light. The immense inertia caused by this motion constrains all movements to this three-dimensional subset. Light, and all other reference measurements follow the same rotational path. All bending is confined to dimensions other than our three-dimensional Euclidean subset, so that the rolled-up nature of the universe is hidden, giving the universe its current three-dimensional Euclidean appearance. Distances, as far as light years away, in three dimensions are reduced to atomic distances in the full twelve-dimensional space. Even though it seems implausible for the entire universe to fit into such a seemingly small manifold, it can do so with room to spare. This is because in high dimensional spaces, the distances can be kept small, while allowing the volume inside to be immense.
While introducing more space dimensions may seem to complicate the issue, several theories including string theory, and the Kaluza-Klein theory, have introduced the concept of a universe with more than three space dimensions. However, both of these theories retain the current three dimensions and only use these small extra dimensions to augment the original three. Thus, these are merely mathematical devices that unify some of the mathematics needed to describe the physical universe, while still leaving many questions unresolved. This physical construct, or gyroverse model, takes the next logical step.
The book is not overly mathematical, and contains a few proofs only when it is believed to be of interest. The presentation can be understood, even if the proofs are skipped. Those wanting to enhance their familiarity with these subjects before tackling the theory should read the background chapters in Part II, an overview of current theory.
The model is described much like an automotive engineer might explain how a car engine works, emphasizing the basic principles involved, and not the precise equations. The real universe is an extremely sophisticated mechanism, very different from its appearance, and cannot be understood with mathematics alone.
Finally, because the idea of more physical space dimensions is a very significant departure from our current idea of the universe, it will be explained gradually building on ideas that are much more familiar. They will be developed in three-dimensional spaces, where visualization is readily attainable and extended to higher dimensional space where the concepts are needed but visualization is difficult.
READER'S COMMENTS
"I've read many books on Physics, but I was delighted for someone to give a plausible explanation how it all really works. You do tie relativity, quantum mechanics, and cosmology nicely together. I don't know if you got it right, but you sure do make a convincing argument. But only time will tell."
Manuel
"I thought I was aware of all the strangeness of physics, but you present some that I never thought of as strange, until you discussed them. One you answer, but never specifically identify as being strange, is why there is a maximum speed for matter. At first, the fact that the mass would go to infinity, is accepted as the reason, but you very nicely peel the onion one more layer and show what makes it that way."
Steve
"It's not a walk in the park, but it was well worth the time I spent. Even though I didn't comprehend everything, I did get the gist of what I didn't fully understand".

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Don Wortzman
Carmel New York 10512
Prior to writing this third edition of The Gyroverse, Donald Wortzman wrote Daughters of Ishtar, a fiction thriller about a contemporary conspiracy with roots going back over 4500 years to a matriarchal tribe whose folklore was the precursor to the Hebrew Bible.
He has presented many original research papers, on a variety of technical subjects at major scientific conferences. These were conferences sponsored by The New York Academy of Sciences, Annual Conference on Engineering in Medicine and Biology, Numerical Control Society, and Eastern Joint Computer Conference.
He received his Bachelors in Electrical Engineering from City College of New York and a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering from Syracuse University. He has also completed his course work toward a Ph.D. in Mathematics at New York University.
Most of his working life was in the field of engineering design. While it might seem odd that an engineer rather than a physicist would propose such a theory, this model of the universe and the rules that govern it are more of an engineering design than a mathematical formulism.
