Physics took a wrong turn 100 years ago from which it never recovered. It was transformed from the physical to the mathematical, which are merely tools for making calculations. It can be portrayed as God’s magic trick, where physicists are spectators too easily satisfied without discovering how the trick is accomplished. The real universe is an extremely sophisticated mechanism, very different from the way it seems, and cannot be understood with mathematics alone. Bertrand Russell underscored this point when he observed “Physics is mathematical not because we know so much about the physical world, but because we know so little; it is only its mathematical properties that we can discover.”
This book, begun in 1999, is a work-in-progress dealing with an all-encompassing physics theory, generically termed as a “theory of everything.” Proposed is a new model of the universe, called the gyroverse, which explains the most mysterious physics anomalies. In this model, the universe has a twelve-dimensional toroidal construction, the size of an atom. All matter is traveling around the torus along a hyper-helix, moving at the speed of light. The immense inertia caused by this motion constrains all movements to this three-dimensional subset, and gives mass its characteristic mc2 energy. Distances, as far as light-years away, in three dimensions are reduced to atomic distances in the full twelve-dimensional space.
Though for the universe to fit into such a small manifold seems implausible, it does so with room to spare. In a high dimensional space, the distances can be kept small, allowing the volume inside to be immense, yet keeping its wrapped construction hidden. Introducing more space dimensions may seem to complicate the issue, but several theories including string theory and Kaluza-Klein theory, have introduced the notion of a universe with more than three space dimensions. Both theories retain the current three dimensions and only use these small extra dimensions to augment the original three. They were merely mathematical devices that the proponents hoped would expose the universe. Unfortunately, these constructs still keep its physical operation hidden, while the gyroverse model, takes the next logical step to reveal the true nature of the universe.
The book is separated into three parts. Part I, comprising seven chapters, contains the theory describing the gyroverse model. Part II, consisting of three chapters, is an overview of the prevailing theory. Part III has two chapters, thought-experiments of importance. One speculates on a scheme to transmit information faster than light. Because of the many new ideas, a summary of each chapter is included to introduce the material gradually. The book is not mathematical, but contains proofs only when believed to be of value. The presentation can be understood, even if the proofs are skipped. Those wanting to enhance their familiarity with these subjects before tackling the theory can read the background chapters in Part II, an overview of current theory. To make different sections of the book understandable in isolation, several explanations are repeated. Besides, sometimes repeating information, but saying it in a different way enhances understanding.
This model is described much as an automotive engineer might explain how a car engine works, emphasizing the basic principles involved, but not the precise equations. From a practical point of view, only minor changes to current physics equations are required, but with very significant changes to their understanding. Inflation theory and the universe expansion mechanism are completely revamped, showing the present structure of the universe. The reason for the lightspeed limitation is explained. Another significant change is in the elimination of “non-simultaneity,” a strange by-product of special relativity. The cause of quantum entanglement is explained, in which particles miles apart have an uncanny awareness of each other. Duality, an atomic phenomenon, sometimes appearing as waves and other times as particles is uncovered. Also revealed is the revolving mechanism in particle spin. Most important, the seven forces of nature, including the four familiar ones, are shown to be derivatives of the same underlying construct.
Because the idea of more physical space dimensions is a very significant departure from our present-day idea of the universe, it is explained gradually, building on familiar ideas. They are developed in three-dimensional spaces, where visualization is manageable then extended to higher dimensional space, where the notions are needed but visualization is difficult. Fortunately, the symmetries of the twelve-dimensional Gyroverse ease understanding it without ever having to picture or deal with more than three dimensions simultaneously.
