Richard Feynman, the renowned physicist, in his book QED, after discussing one of many quirks of nature, 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." The community of physicists has become so jaded that no one tries anymore to account for the strangeness in most of physics. That is, not until this ground breaking new book.

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".
