1.0 out of 5 stars
Disappointed,
By

This review is from: Theory of Interaction: The Simplest Explanation of Everything (Hardcover)
I enjoy books like Arp's "Seeing Red" and Mitchell's "the Big Bang Never Happened" - books that challenge conventional cosmology. So I bought Savov's book based on the 4 & 5 star reader reviews in Amazon, but I was disappointed. I am not convinced by the author's assertion that all physics follows a model of 3D spiral interaction, which he claims it to be the ultimate simplification. He presents the theory as a qualitative model only and illustrates it with incidental observation - such as the close-up view of a snail shell resembling the bands of Jupiter. So what?The book rambles to the point of incoherence - philosophy of science; social interactions; a chapter of one-liner "timeless thoughts", such as: "Happy is who makes things complete." There are several assertions in the book which are not backed up. For example, the Earth was not formed from the dust of dead stars but from a primitive protobody that grew. The best part of the book is the chapter on the solar wind and its interactions with the Earth's magnetosphere - Savov devotes a quarter of the book to this niche of physics, an area where he has evidently investigated in depth and contributed research.

Nonsense,
This review is from: THEORY OF INTERACTION The Simplest Explanation of Everything (Paperback)
An intriguing topic, but on close inspection the author's ideas appear to be irrational nonsense spiced with a lot of wishful thinking.

Nice conceptual framework.,
By Leila (Michigan, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: THEORY OF INTERACTION The Simplest Explanation of Everything (Paperback)
This book gets 3 stars because the author presents a nice, new conceptual framework to analyze and understand how universe works.Otherwise, it is a terribly written book. It has a very poor structure; the author repeats himself constantly and at times it is impossible to follow his logic. The repeated reference to God in a scientific work is also troublesome.

Is this really a (scientific) theory?,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: THEORY OF INTERACTION The Simplest Explanation of Everything (Paperback)
A supposedly physics theory, even if in agreement with physical observations, should be expressed in mathematics, not discursive, "qualitative", language. For mathematics is IMO not only "measures", but "the language of nature". Thus, if a model like the one put down in this book will not, or cannot, be properly expressed in mathematics, then it cannot be properly called a "theory" by our modern standards (unless we wan't to go back to the Middle Ages).Second: I didn't found any argument in the book as to why infinities and singularities do not really exist in nature. In fact an alleged original "first cause" in truly outdated Aristotelian fashion, is stated in the book as TGB (The Greatest Protobody). But what really is a TGB, the book does not say. Should it not be considered as an - inevitable - singularity in this "theory"? To me this is the major flaw in this work, namely, the going-back to the most simplistic and naive form of classical causality, where one and only one principle is considered as the basis of all. Ironically, the same paradoxes of non-locality that hurt so much modern physics, apply to this model. I see no way how it can explain synchronous action at a distance - which objectively occurs in nature, even in our nervous system. So, having said this, I must say I agree with most of its criticism of modern cosmology (Big Bang). I also agree on the scalarity (independence of scale) of physical phenomena. OTH we know of the spiral constancy in natural phenomena since Fibonacci and the Golden Ratio. But also the recently found hard core (ferrite) of the Sun and the difference (faster) rotational speed of Earth's core would be two possible positive predictions of this "model". Lastly,this book should be 1/5th its lenght. It's unbearably long and repetitive (the most repetive statement is of course how good and original this "theory" is). if you just read the last chapter (Theory of interaction - the simplest description of nature) you're done with it. In conclusion, like Mandelbrot's Fractal Geometry of Nature or Fredkin's Digital Mechanics, we don't really have here a "theory" but a conceptual framework.

Everything is interaction! Have no doubt about it.,
By Henri Salk (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: THEORY OF INTERACTION The Simplest Explanation of Everything (Paperback)
Everything is interaction because it indicates its existence by certain interaction, argues the author of this essential book. The pattern of this unifying interaction is revealed from analysis of spacecraft observations and some ideas from the chaos theory.The reality is described with the smallest number of found finite sources of interaction that account for what we see in the simplest way. Can everything work in a way, which is different than its simplest explanation? A careful thought tells it cannot. The theory of interaction takes us in the virgin fields of new fundamental framework that reveals the boundaries of existence. The modern knowledge is obtained as a case, which appears at the scales of observation. Highly recommended basic book for everyone's library!

Smells like a real breakthrough,
By Ken Burch (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: THEORY OF INTERACTION The Simplest Explanation of Everything (Paperback)
The physicist Eugene Savov solves a deep problem of solar wind-magnetosphere interaction. Then he considers the scale independence of the found pattern of interaction in the ambient space. He reveals new, complete and really elegant picture of the universe. Savov's unusual findings elucidate the deepest mysteries of the cosmos and easily account for the newest puzzling discoveries.I am a physicist who studies pattern formation at the molecular and cosmic scales. Savov's findings are in agreement with my observations. Moreover I tried very hard and failed so far to crack Savov's model of the texture of reality. Can you falsify his new mode of thinking and all-explaining discoveries? I bet you cannot. This book brings back the common sense to science. It shows how the normal reasoning appears from one discovered universal meaning.

Only for people who really care how this world works,
By Cosmologist (Los Angeles, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: THEORY OF INTERACTION The Simplest Explanation of Everything (Paperback)
This book is finally a breath of fresh air in the stagnated field of modern cosmology. To see what I mean you may read the Open Letter to the Scientific Community, publish in New Scientist, May 22, 2004 and signed by dozens of top scientists from around the world. In this letter the big bang universe is rejected and the necessity for funds allocation to alternative theories is made clear /cosmologystatement org/. I liked the apple and the other thought experiments in this book. The apple cut many times by Democritus to demonstrate his atomic theory. The apple that helped Newton to discover the law of gravity by falling on his head. Eugene Savov's apple is seen from within in a search for the objects whose motion draws its shape in one's mind. Savov has a unique point of view. He considers the properties created from the fact of one's existence and then derives from these properties a new picture of the universe, which is in agreement with many observations. The notions of the physicist Eugene Savov are so much qualitatively new that they need some repetition to enter one's mind. You'll see the stunning basic simplicity of nature after you grasp how the suggested structure of reality works. You'll know how galaxies, strings of galaxies and heavy elements are created at the outskirts of the observable universe. You'll understand what brings the space bodies together and what keeps them apart. Many unsolved mysteries of cosmology and geospace find shockingly simple explanations in Savov's "firewok universe". I bet that this book will become more actual after each new discovery in the deep cosmos. The recently discovered association of quasars with humdrum galaxies and the found surprisingly huge binary stars can be easily explained in the terms of the proposed structure of the universe. I highly recommend Savov's Theory of Interaction as a good investment that will deepen your understanding of nature, life and consciousness. Five bright stars for the all-explaining structure of reality and three faint stars for the rest.

Shockingly simple and self-consistent,
By A Customer
This review is from: Theory of Interaction: The Simplest Explanation of Everything (Hardcover)
The big bang cosmology and its standing questions are briefly described in the book at most popular level. Eugene Savov tackles the problems of infinity, perception, space and time. He offers a pattern for the solar wind-magnetosphere interaction and then he makes a miraculous jump from this pattern into the structure of the universe. Afterwards Savov reveals an amazing world where everybody comes from its discovered source. The principle of economy says to avoid the vanity of doing with more what can be done with less. This principle is followed in the author's quest for a simpler and clearer picture of the universe. The suggested theory of interaction explains the origin of life and consciousness and also offers unexpected answers to many hard problems and puzzling observations. Scientists and laymen will find the ideas of the theory of interaction attractive and rewarding. This book is a must for everybody sensitive of the enigmas of the space bodies, life and consciousness.

Astonishing Elucidation of the Big Questions,
By A Customer
This review is from: THEORY OF INTERACTION The Simplest Explanation of Everything (Paperback)
What creates what we see is a big mystery, which finds a compelling answer to my utter surprise in the book Theory of Interaction the Simplest Explanation of Everything by Eugene Savov. The proposed answer shows amazing picture of the universe supported with many confirmations from ambient and distant space, testable predictions and calculations. For example, the existence of planets in binary stellar systems had been predicted and it was later confirmed by observations. The drawn SINGULARITY FREE cyclic behavior of the universe is revealed from thought experiments and qualitative considerations. The proposed "firework universe" beginning and unfolding is confirmed by the found normal galaxies at the fringes of the observable universe. These most distant space objects have to be older than the big bang universe because it takes too much time for their light to reach the earth. So less than enough time after the big bang is left for these galaxies to form. The book brims with discoveries and it is also entertaining with strange metaphors and conjectures. The described findings will shake even the most skeptic minds. I recommend Eugene Savov's Theory of Interaction to scientists, non-scientists and everyone puzzled by the conundrums, meaning and working of the universe and its inquisitive observer.

Become a highbrow hero,
By A Customer
This review is from: THEORY OF INTERACTION The Simplest Explanation of Everything (Paperback)
This book rigorously proves at a general reader level that we live in one existing and unique universe made of multiscale bodies, whose cores are dense enough to create the visible matter. These discovered sources of reality elegantly account for everything, e.g. the dark matter and the structure formation in the universe. I deeply confused my professor and thrilled my girl friend by telling them how the space bodies, atoms and light are created in Savov's "firework universe". His theory of interaction essentially improves the current understanding of nature. If you comprehend this simple all-penetrating theory, then you will become irrefutable highbrow hero in classrooms and cocktail parties. After grasping Savov's theory of interaction you will know why some experts don't want you to read it. They would like to keep you way from the discovered complete picture of the universe because it is quite different from the incomplete current one and yet it is logical and confirmed with a compelling number of poorly understood observations. Show your professor how the quantum uncertainty and the inverse square laws are simply derived from the discovered underlying structure when it is considered at the scales of observation. Then watch his face growing longer. I feel pity for those who will try to falsify the discovered fundamental structure of nature because they will fail. They simply want us to believe in their far less convincing, incomplete and old-fashioned stories. They would like to send us to chase the wild geese in well-explored fields. The enigmatic wind bands of Saturn and the other gas-giant planets and the creation of the planetary rings are elucidated. The revealed texture of reality clearly explains gravitation, space, time, life and consciousness. You can fold and unfold the found complete picture of the universe in your mind - see how the galaxies and stars come, evolve and pass away. See how the discovered picture of reality fits with observations and thus feel the unique taste of immortality during your mind flights in the past, present and future of the universe. This book is not a brief history of time or a brief history of nearly everything. It is the discovered complete history of everything because it shows how every body comes and ends. |
