Foreword
Aristotle's natural philosophy directed western thought for two thousand years. He was concerned with self-evident principals so his work explained why things happen. Galileo improvised controlled experiment to find out how things happen. This resulted in the basis of the modem scientific method. Newton's discoveries dominated scientific thought for nearly two centuries and much of his work is valid today. Then early in this century the Quantum and Relativity theories were destined to explain the cosmos by the use of consistent mathematical relationships. The Quantum theory has excelled in electronic technology and the General Theory of Relativity has evolved to give us an impression of the Universe. Certainly this is a logical process; but what is missing and why are we so dependent on the statistics that continually separate us from reality? To the average person it is an act of faith to accept scientific findings - to science, possibly surprisingly, it is also an act of faith; for many of the findings are explained by the abstract of mathematics which is based on assumption. So by belief in assumption, philosophy and science have great import to mankind.
Let us touch on Aristotle and Newton's thought, as they shall further be important to the structure of philosophy and science. Aristotle believed in that which is physical and that which is not physical, before discounting this valid assumption considering consciousness. It is not physical, yet without conscious mind physical reality does not exist. This indicates Aristotle was right, but how can one relate to emptiness, nothingness, void? Gravity is not physical but we experience its effect every day of our lives, so we have a starting place, define gravity by valid assumption. Here Newton excelled, for he assumed gravity to be a force.
But what was so baffling was how can something that is not physical be a force, so an assumption was made and the hypothetical ether was adopted. Then other assumptions were made and with good physical reason. Had not Michelson and Morley in 1881 wanting to detect the media of space failed to do so? So space was emptiness and the General Theory of Relativity evolved. Then it was discovered the Universe was apparently expanding and Newton's concept of gravity as a force was further considered invalid, but was it, or was something missed? Remember gravity effects us every day, so possibly Aristotle was right and then Newtons concept of gravity as a force would be correct, but this requires a force of a non-physical nature, so it is necessary to first relate in the abstract to that dimension. So the importance of the Unifield Theory and experiments which describe force from the micro-universe through the cosmos.
