Unity Of Forces In The Universe

We are now closer than ever to the fundamental goal of physics of understanding all physical phenomena as the inevitable consequences of few simple principles. The grand unified theory of the strong, weak and electromagnetic interactions has, among other things, explained the quantization of charge, determined the magnitude of the neutral current, and had dramatic impact on cosmology. This book is designed to bring interested students and researchers rapidly up to the point where they can contribute to this exciting field. A substantial text provides a review of the subject. In particular, several chapters are devoted to cosmology and the theory of galaxy formation. A selection of original papers is reprinted. A brief review of group theory is also provided. It is a must for all students and researchers in the field

This accessible approach uses compelling photos, figures, and examples to address and answer profound questions about the universe. "An engrossing book, an invigorating intellectual exercise." — Scientific American. 1959 edition.

In the first chapters the author describes how our knowledge of the position of Earth in space and time has developed, thanks to the work of many generations of astronomers and physicists. He discusses how our position in the Galaxy was discovered, and how in 1929, Hubble uncovered the fact that the Universe is expanding, leading to the picture of the Big Bang. He then explains how astronomers have found that the laws of physics that were discovered here on Earth and in the Solar System (the laws of mechanics, gravity, atomic physics, electromagnetism, etc.) are valid throughout the Universe. This is illustrated by the fact that all matter in the Universe consists of atoms of the same chemical elements that we know on Earth. This unity is all the more surprising when one realizes that in the original Big Bang theory, different parts of the Universe could never have communicated with each other. It then is a mystery how they could have shared the same physical laws. This problem was solved by the introduction of the idea of inflation, a phase of extremely rapid expansion of the Universe during the first fraction of a second following the Big Bang. The author explains how the unity of the Universe finds its origin in the Big Bang prior to inflation. The book addresses the many fundamental questions about the Universe and its contents from the perspective of the Big Bang: the formation of structure in the Universe, the questions of the mysterious dark matter and dark energy, the possibilities of other Universes (the Multiverse) and of the existence of intelligent life elsewhere in the Universe.

THE THEORY OF UNITY (tm) is a breakthrough that obsoletes most physics books of today. Physics is complete!! Quantum physics is no more! The real theory of relativity is presented in detail that is easily understood by the intelligent layman or high school student. The enigma of mass, distance, space & time are explained. The concept of particles & waves is also described in detail. A chart of 90 of the most important particles' resonances to seven decimals is included. The unified field theory, long sought by scientists, which unifies the four forces: gravity, electromagnetic, the strong & weak forces is simply defined. C-space, a 3-dimensional condensation of space replaces conventional space-time. Action at a distance is now a field effect rather than a particle exchange. THE THEORY OF UNITY (tm) tells how the atom works without quantum physics principles of the eliminated Pauli exclusion principle & the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. The new Cosmology "proves" a non-expanding universe. There is no big bang! There are no black holes! There are no gravity waves! Philosophical, religious, & social implications are discussed.
