Exploring the Physics of the Unknown Universe: An Adventurer's Guide First Thus Used Edition

See all formats and editions

Part I describes the fundamental laws underlying science. The emphasis is on intuitive understanding of the foundations of scientific knowledge to enable deciphering of Mother Nature's designs for the physical universe. It explains the six fundamental laws: Conservation of Energy, Gravity, Coulomb's force, Newton's laws, Quantum Mechanics, and Special Relativity. The book follows a trail of scientific ideas and clues from the Greeks to Newton, Mach, Clifford, Einstein, Dirac, and Feynman to Modern galactic astronomy. Part II discusses cosmology, space and the universe. It explores their enigmas and paradoxes. Dr Wolff's role is a friendly guide to the reader, enabling her/him to understand the machinery behind Nature's laws, and to help solve the puzzles which have confounded scientists over the years. The century-old controversy of wave structure or substance structure of particles is examined and it is shown that a wave structure is the probable origin of the natural laws. The mys

A good read, and an insightful introduction to wave theory

Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2007

In this book, Dr. Wolff presents a different way of looking at the building blocks of the universe, and the results are truly eye-opening. His book is written with an easy to understand history of physics and many of its current inconsistencies. He also presents his solution to these problems, with simple real-world analogies to atomic-scale movements and forces, but for those with a scientific background he also presents appendices with derivations to prove the same things with math.

This book is a thorough introduction to the wave structure of matter, which rectifies Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. It shows that probability waves of QM that irked Einstein are waves (oscillations) of energy, not a particle blinking in and out of existence, or a cat being alive and dead at the same time. There are many other simple explanations for previously difficult physics concepts in this book, as well.

Another benefit, mentioned by a previous reviewer, is that I have actually e-mailed the author many times with my own questions and ideas on these topics, and he has been very positive and helpful.

I strongly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading Stephen Hawking's non-technical books, to career physicists and engineers who have seen too many holes in modern physics over the past century.

This is an exciting glimpse of the future.

Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 1998

This book shows that the universe CAN be a lot simpler if you think about it logically and forget the old ideas that are full of puzzles - like point particles and big bangs and 10 dimension universes. Then everything fits together. It is also exciting because the new quantum matter waves might be the way that minds communicate silently.

Gentle journey to understanding the wave structure of matter

Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2008

The wave structure of matter model, or the spherical resonance model, explains such things as the structure of the electron, charge, gravity and magnetism as waves and wave interactions without the need for probability and additional dimensions. In this book, Milo Wolff gently explains this model in a way that a layman can understand. There is the occasional formula but the textual explanations and diagrams are all that are needed for understanding. Appendices are provided for those desiring additional mathematical explanations.

Rather than dive right into the wave structure of matter model, Milo Wolff breaks the books into three parts. Part 1 lays a foundation by explaining in simple words and diagrams the basics needed to understand the model. Part 2 then explains the model. Part 3 contains the mathematical appendices.

If you're looking for an aha moment, one that gives you a picture of the universe that doesn't ask you to just accept weirdness (in fact, with this model, there is no weirdness!) then this is the book for you.

The Wave Structure of Matter

Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2005

I know Milo Wolff very well, have met him several times, and filmed a video interview of him back in 2,000. His book (which I have read 3 times) is sensible and honest, and provides a simple explanation of many of the problems of modern physics. This is achieved by rejecting the current paradigm of 'particles' generating 'fields' in 'space-time' and replacing it the more simple foundation of waves in Space. Matter, as a spherical standing wave, causes the particle effect at the Wave-Center. The 'particle / photon' properties of light are discrete because standing waves only exist and interact at discrete frequencies (which explains the foundations of Quantum Theory and why Schrodinger's Wave Equations work so well).

This book will be very famous one day! Read it!

And to see his video interviews go to;

Reality underlying illusion.

Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2008

As a Clinical Psychologist interested in wave functions basic to neuropsychological processing, and quantum and parapsychological phenomena, I have become convinced of the ideas that waves are basic to particles and particle behavior, and that particles are an illusion created by the way the brain hologramically perceives.

Dr. Wolff's book reveals his logically concise understanding of the basic ontology of the material universe in its wave foundation.

A great contribution.

Unity is a place where everybody wants to go

Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2007

I am, as a university physics lecturer of 23 years of experience, very proud that I have met this excellent book. As I am deeply involved in learning about the constituent matter of our universe, this book shows me several route to the end. It is really nice to think that all the forces in the universe can be unified. Again the unification of the universal facts simply means that we can understand the universe in simpler terms, therefore can feel much more secure.

Easy to understand, fun to read

Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2003

As Milo Wolff`s granddaughter, I am, of course, immensely proud of his accomplishments and excellent book. Even without a background in physics, I found the theories contained within these pages interesting and relatively (no pun intended!) easy to understand. Aunt Jenny`s illustrations are helpful, too. As a young reader - highschool age - I can say that this book is more an adventure than a textbook, and much more engaging than the mundane texts that we are given to read in school. I recommend it for anyone with an interest in the world around us and an inquisitive mind! Great job, GF Milo!
