Red Shift theory is flawed,
By
This review is from: Our Undiscovered Universe: Introducing Null Physics the Science of Uniform and Unconditional Reality (Hardcover)
Witt unsuccessfully attempts to describe an alternative theory the observed red shift in galaxies that cosmologist claim to be evidence of an expanding universe. Witt says that as light travels through intergalactic space, it stretches internally due to the fact that space is four dimensional space-time instead of simple three dimensional space. This sounds like general relativity theory, but in fact is a blurred misrepresentation of it. Witt says that the front of a photon would travel slightly farther than the back would. Witt envisions the photon as a wavelength, when in fact, it is a point source of electromagnetic phenomenon that cycles completely once every wave length it travels through space-time. Photons have no front or back.Witt also does not explain why the front of the wave would go further than the back. Even if we were talking of a stick, the fact that space-time has four dimensions never infers that the front end of some thing goes further than the back. Internal dimensionality is conserved through passage through any form of space time. Stretching of dimensions only seems to occur relativistically to other viewers. At the end of a two billion years journey through space-time, a stick or a photon will be the same length as they started. I personally would like another explanation for the red shift than some unexplained Big Bang or such, but Witt's explanation doesn't do it. Likewise the rest of the book seemed to be circularly reasoned, where if you buy some original (i.e. nothing must create everything) premises, you can take yourself anywhere. As a matter of fact, I am impressed with how much nothingness makes up the universe, and I do believe that eventually science will discover manners of circularity that create a self caused-causing universe, but I don't think that Witt's science is thorough or correct.

Caution, bad physics,
By
This review is from: Our Undiscovered Universe: Introducing Null Physics the Science of Uniform and Unconditional Reality (Hardcover)
Before spending any hard earned money on this book, be aware that it contains a collection of proposals that run contrary to most current thinking in the scientific community. The author challenges the well accepted expansion of the universe; he proposes quantum interference in double slit experiments are due to a strange form of hysteresis; he dismissed the EPR experiments as round off errors.The author would be advised to submit his ideas to peer review rather than promoting them in a pop science book. The reasoning behind his assertions is perhaps better left to psychologists than to physicists.

Pseudo science revisited,
By OMO (CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Our Undiscovered Universe: Introducing Null Physics the Science of Uniform and Unconditional Reality (Hardcover)
If you like this book, there's another you should read--The Final Theory: Rethinking Our Scientific Legacy. They both belong in the circular file. Take my advice-don't waste your time, money and effort on this. I would have rated it zero stars but that option wasn't available
