What is gravity? They say it’s the weakest of the four fundamental forces. But what if it was the strongest force? If so, our whole understanding of the universe would change. Sound science seeks truth—the whole truth—wherever it leads. Too many modern cosmologists limit themselves, ignoring the more intuitive side of their nature that Albert Einstein praised. Roy Masters follows a challenging but logical “breadcrumb trail” in navigating a path between physics and metaphysics—embracing neither one nor shunning the other. The result of his unbiased approach may well be an unprecedented era of Einsteinian revelations. “The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.” — Albert Einstein Masters’ view is that certain logical components of science, philosophy and religion are simply fractured parts of a common central solution. They are pieces of a puzzle which, when fit together properly, reveal an entirely new landscape of scientific possibilities. Gravity Driven Universe is divided into two parts, the first for the scientist and the latter for the layman. The book is dedicated to the validation for what we are born to eventually know. We are curious creatures and as such, cannot be curbed by the bias of the day in our pursuit of truth. Roy Masters believes that it is only necessary to “rekindle the eye of the heart,” as Einstein did, whereby a supplemental field of vision comes quickly into view, opening up a new world—in the case of this book—the yet unseen realm of gravity and its role as the strongest fundamental force in the universe.

About the Author
Roy Masters—who in his 80s continues to broadcast the longest-running counseling show in talk radio history—started his journey toward understanding human nature in the most unlikely of places. Growing up in pre-WWII England, he watched a performer easily put his volunteer subjects under a hypnotic spell and induced each of them to do strange and outlandish things. How, the young Roy wondered, could a smiling, personable stranger cause well-dressed, educated, competent adults to forget their names? Puzzled by the mysterious power the hypnotist had exercised over his subjects, Roy distinctly remembers pondering the question: “Why can’t hypnotism be used to make people act sensibly, rather than foolishly?” Inspired by the idea of harnessing this baffling force for good, he later pursued the art of hypnotism and established a successful hypnotherapy practice. Over years of counseling as well as personal experience, Roy realized that the root of the power of negative suggestion lay in our wrong emotional response, and so he began to search for a way to help people overcome the hypnotic power of stress. After years of searching, he discovered a remarkably effective meditation method, and has been teaching it—with spectacular results—ever since. For over 50 years Roy counsels people primarily through his internationally syndicated daily radio program Advice Line, where callers discuss their most intimate problems and find genuine help and healing. He has served as a daily voice of sanity and conscience to his listeners, with the uncanny ability to zero in quickly on core problems. As the institutional home for his counseling work, Masters’ formed the Foundation of Human Understanding in 1961. Through his daily radio broadcasts, lectures, seminars, his 18 books, countless audio and video programs—and the Internet—he has helped millions worldwide. He has also established a successful prison outreach and an innovative private K-12 school. Beyond all this, and at a time in life when most people would have long since retired, an energetic Roy Masters is delving deeply into yet another long-time interest—physics and cosmology. He has authored “Finding God in Physics” as well as a more technical treatise, “Gravity Driven Universe” and has lectured on “Electricity from Gravity” at the American Physical Society in Denver. Roy Masters and his wife, Ann, have been married since 1952. They have five grown children and 18 grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

As with the book "Finding God in Physics", white trash egomaniac Roy Masters engages in shameless throwing around of technical terminology to create the puerile illusion that he's onto something. It's actually tantamount to the comedic performances of Prof. Irwin Corey, The World's Foremost Authority, minus the comedy value. He presents the idea of gravity as a push force, which is pretty much an exact copy of Le Sage's theory of gravity going back in various forms to 1690. Other commentary on radiation or the Casimir effect, where correctly stated, isn't put forward to make any sort of relevant points. This latest printing is 2011. He certainly hasn't learned rudimentary physics since his earlier ventures into physics. For clarification it needs to be stated:
1. A rotating space station does not create gravity.
2. Gravity does not produce work unless it causes displacement of an object.
3. Photons do not slow down passing through a transparent medium. The expression, "The speed of light is slower" in, say, glass refers solely to the fact that the photons are repeatedly interrupted in their motion as they try to make their way through a transparent solid. They are repeatedly absorbed and re-emitted by the electronic bonds in their path, so their net speed is slower.
4. A moving magnet does not create electrons but only pushes the ones already in a metal coil around.
5. Particles do not gain mass near the speed of light because they are pressing against anything. They gain relative mass because they are being forced to disintegrate in a manner they cannot efficiently transition through. The corresponding resistance appears as relative inertia.
6. Geckos do not cling to surfaces because of the Casimir effect. They cling because of the van der Waals bonding of the tiny hair-like structures on their feet. Rubbing these structures against a contact surface can help instigate inductive charge coupling.
7. Interlacing two phone books and trying to pull them apart does take a lot of force. This too is not due to the Casimir effect but the simple mechanical friction between the pages.
8. A gyroscope only resists tilting if one end of its rotational axis is pinned.
9. The "Big Bang" is not a complicated base idea.
10. There is plenty of surface tension in space. Surface tension is caused by chemical bonding within the liquid and electron repulsion at a liquid drop's surface.
11. There have actually been other scientists since Galileo, Tesla and Einstein who have performed large-scale experiments in areas like gravity, electricity and magnetism.
11. Roy Masters is not amenable to being confronted with the errors in his reasoning, regardless of his insistence that he's a bastion of integrity.
