The Final Theory is a newly published science book that clearly outlines the many unexplained mysteries and irresolvable discrepancies in our science today ... then proposes a new theory that resolves them into the only fully explained and beautifully consistent scientific paradigm -- something that has never truly been done before. Although scientists openly admit there is much to learn as they are regularly confused, amazed, or mystified by their findings, The Final Theory examines our current scientific beliefs themselves -- which we are all taught in school -- and clearly shows that it is these very beliefs that are the problem. How can the universe be accelerating its expansion with no known explanation, as today's Big Bang Theory now states? How can gravity hold us to the planet, constrain our moon in orbit, and orchestrate the dynamics of our solar system and the entire universe with no known power source? Even fridge magnets and statically-charged objects cling via magnetic or electrical energy that mysteriously never drains -- and even has no known power source.
These are clearly impossible feats in plain view, which both our common sense and even our most elementary laws of physics say are impossible, but since today’s science can’t truly explain them it instead attempts to justify and dismiss such issues. We have weak logical arguments in our science, such as the Work Function justification (discussed in the book), that attempt to logically explain away these issues rather than truly physically explaining them. This is unfortunate since it is these very everyday mysteries in plain view that hold the clues to the answers we seek, yet this is also understandable since it is impossible to truly explain these mysteries from within our current science paradigm.
What we need, and indeed what our scientists are searching for intently, is a complete paradigm shift -- known as the Theory Of Everything. Such a theory would usher in a much-needed scientific revolution, but we cannot achieve this by sheer willpower. Such lateral leaps in understanding must occur in their own time -- often by serendipity in a prepared, educated mind. Just such a paradigm shift is contained in The Final Theory. Impossible? Not at all. As mentioned, most scientists today openly admit that they are actively searching for and eagerly anticipating such a theory, which is the very reason for all the scientific investigation that is going on today with enormous particle accelerators and powerful telescopes such as the Hubble telescope. Many of our best known and most respected scientists have published books and written science articles stating that they expect this final theory to arrive any day now:
Yet, as eagerly anticipated as this final theory is, it is also a very controversial and sensitive area for scientists, for several reasons. First, this state of affairs leaves our scientists in a difficult position; on the one hand they are our science authority and the keepers of our knowledge, while on the other hand they are searching for a theory that may well state that everything they know is wrong. This is what is meant by a paradigm shift. This would literally mean that, while Newton gave us a useful model of gravity as an attracting force three hundred years ago, it was not the correct physical explanation for falling apples and orbiting moons, compelling as it is. Likewise, Einstein’s alternate explanation of gravity as a warped four-dimensional space-time fabric surrounding all objects would only be another model, but not the true description of gravity either. Even Benjamin Franklin’s description of static electricity and electric charge in general would be completely re-explained by this new theory. Our very description of the atom, from Bohr and Rutherford all the way up to today’s mysterious quantum-mechanical theories would also be shown to be mere models of a deeper physical truth. And yes, our mainstay of much futuristic science as well as science fiction, Einstein’s Special Relativity Theory, would also be shown to be a mere misunderstanding. Scientists struggle terribly with all of these descriptions of our universe today; yet, while many admit this final Theory Of Everything may well rewrite the physics books, few, if any, may be truly willing to consider that everything they think they know today may be wrong
A second reason why this final theory is a sensitive and controversial area is because many individuals who are frustrated with the unexplained mysteries in our science, and who rightly do not accept the justifications and dismissals today’s science offers, have tried to come up with the answers themselves. And, while this is an admirable pursuit, it is quite unreasonable to decide to come up with a theory that ushers in a scientific revolution simply by willpower alone; paradigm shifts and lateral leaps of understanding cannot be forced, much as we might wish they could. As a result, in recent decades the scientific community has suffered numerous unpleasant encounters with individuals who have become labeled as "pseudo-science kooks" who push their pet theories relentlessly, often without a solid education in today’s science and despite clearly fatal flaws in their own theories. Many scientists understandably resent these amateur explanation attempts and view them as corrupting our science, while some scientists are left feeling personally harassed and even physically threatened by some of these individuals.
Due to these two effects, there is now an unofficial moratorium on new "theories of everything" from the public. The scientific community generally dismisses any and all such claims, as does the science media. So, what happens if the true Theory Of Everything actually does arise in the mind of a scientifically educated individual, as is bound to happen eventually if such a theory is possible, but one who has never published a paper and does not hold an official academic position? Both the scientific community and the science news media would dismiss it, sight unseen, as just another wild theory from the public, leaving it in obscurity. All that could reasonably be done is to write it out clearly and professionally and hopefully get it published in a book. But even once this milestone is achieved there is such a strong aversion to "outside" theories -- even from rational, scientifically educated individuals -- that the scientific community and science news media are still highly unlikely to acknowledge it. Meanwhile, millions of science enthusiasts remain disillusioned with the state of our science and hunger for answers and understanding.
