This review is from: Gravitation and the Electroform Model: From General Relativity to Unified Field Theory (Paperback)

There are two reviews giving this book 5 stars, and they're both by the author. Isn't that convenient?

The book is more worthless drivel by yet another crackpot (physics quack as Prof Siegel of SUNY Stony Brook calls them) who claims to have overthrown Einstein.

The 11th edition of GRAVITATION & THE ELECTROFORM MODEL begins by refuting classical General Relativity's field equations, this time couching the result in terms of the "broken symmetry" associated with the invalid equation of continuity that emerges when the linearized field equations are examined closely. This time the result is derived with fewer missing steps, so that the reader can more easily follow the analysis. This result is buttressed by a number of other observations, theorems, and results, including analysis based on the properties of the exact solutions to the spherically symmetric problem, the Kerr solutions. The alternative unified field equations based on symmetrized vector-boson field theory are shown to be more convincing, being derived from a more universal foundation in relativistic quantum mechanics supplemented by the principle of equivilance to determine the time-synchronization of the metric. The book shows how to derive the properties of the short-range force-fields from the simple core field equations, and then proceeds to derive the classical general relativity results for classic tests of the theory - the gravitational redshift, the perhelion precession of Mercury, and the curvature of light around the Sun - from the alternative foundation of classical vector-boson field theory in flat space. Superposition theorems are used to accomplish this in flat space with gravitational time-dialation only. This is supplemented by telling quotes from leading physicists on the question of General Relativity's validity and the question of alternative models, including statements by Einstein, Oppenheimer, Glasshow, and others. In the vector-boson theory, "the electroform model", all axial-vector B-field-like forces arise quite natually from the locally Lorentzian properties of the space-time metric. In general relativity, however, we have to introduce odd off-diagonal metrical terms g(0,k) = g(k,0) that don't exist in the vector-boson theory and then they turn out to produce B-fields 4 times too large to be compatible with B-fields that are produced natually by the locally Lorentzian properties of the simple diagonal metric tensor. This factor of 4 in the B-field produces the invalid equation of continuity, which emerges as a consequence of internally broken symmetry determined by the Einstein field equations. The vector-boson-based electroform model is inherently simpler and more robust in it's foundations, with a more straightforward derivation from the basic principles of quantum mechanics and special relativity in a situation where the principle of equivilance holds in a way that produces gravitational time-dialation for the synchronizaion of clocks. The primary problem is in showing how all of the required observable effects can be produced by the simpler, more robust electroform model for the forces, the unified vector-boson theory. The 11th edition, like the 10th, develops the theory of the strong nuclear force on the basis of meson field theory, producing a series expansion for the potential from the core field equations in which we can identify the known components of the nuclear force, which depend for their relative strength on the geometry of the spin-coupled meson cloud. The theory of the weak interaction is presented in more detail than in the 10th edition, to clarify the problem of mirror-symmetry and parity violations in weak decays such as beta decays. More material is included in footnotes on the Cabibo and Weinberg angles, and their connection to quark and sub-quark Rishon models of the elementary particles. The section on the quark and rishon sub-quark models is very much expanded and very clarifying. The 11th edition shows how the rishon sub-quark model of Haim Harari unifies the Fermion picture, deriving all the colored quarks and leptons from just two particles T, V, in addition to their antiparticles. The 11th edition shows how to apply the rishon model to beta decay and to the decays of the elementary particles in a way that has considerable predictive power. It predicts, for instance, that a number of elementary particle decays also produce neutrinos and anti-neutrinos that have so far not been observed, probably because their detection is difficult unless beam luminosity is very high. Thus the book points out some new experiments that may be done, including gravitational wave experiments that measure the difference in predictions of the energy density of the gravitational field, in addition to some new neutrino measurements to verify the rishon model for the subquarks that provides a common foundation for both the Bosons and the Fermions by unifying the foundation for generating both quarks and leptons.

This review is from: Gravitation and the Electroform Model: From General Relativity to Unified Field Theory, Compact International Edition (Tmu Series) (Hardcover)

Galileo Galilei obtained the principle of relativity by contemplating the fall of a cannon ball from the mast of a moving ship, noting that the cannon ball would always strike the deck at the same spot, regardless of the motion of the ship. This gave rise to the idea that no experiment on board a moving vessel could determine whether the vessel was in motion with respect to the surrounding space, as far as the dynamics of mechanics was concerned. At first, Einstein's special relativity developed and extendeded this point of view by postulating that it must also hold true for the case in which the mast was replaced with a light-clock, with a pulse bouncing up and down between two mirrors to keep time. Such a clock runs slower in a stationary system of coordinates if the clock is in motion, because the theorem of Pythagoras applies to the path of the light, such that (ct)**2 = (ct')**2 + (vt)**2. Such meditations lead to Lorentz time-dialation, and then to a revolution in the way we think of the magnetic field acting between two charged bodies in the moving system, because in special relativity, the magnetic effects arise strictly from the Lorentz transformation. However, general relativity predicted "magnetic-like" effects between two gravitating bodies in the moving frame that were 4 times too strong to synchronize with the light-clock in a way that makes the magnetic-like effects seem to be merely a consequence of the Lorentz transformation. General relativity's "magnetic-like" forces fail to pass Galileo's criterion for the principle of relativity...as we conceive of it in the age of special relativity...although Einstein thought initially that just using tensor equations would solve the problem. It turned out that the Klein-Gordon equation of sources, set up as a system of 4 such equations, could be used to represent all of the forces of nature in vector-boson field equations of great simplicity, power, and beauty, that allow us to compute the perhelion precesssion of Mercury and the curvature of light around the sun in flat space in which only time is bent, but space is boundless, while on the other hand we have non-self-consistency theorems for the GR field equations and physical reasons to the doubt Einstein's 1917 GR model. The 10th edition contains these details, and is longer than previous editions. Don't miss it...it's the wave of the future in the unification of the forces of Nature.
