Description
This book attempts to explain the core of physics, the origin of everything and anything. It explains why physics at the most fundamental level, and especially quantum mechanics, has moved away from naïve realism towards abstraction, and how this means that we can begin to answer some of the most fundamental questions which trouble us all, about space, time, matter, etc. It provides an original approach based on symmetry which will be of interest to professionals as well as lay people.In the book, virtually no prior knowledge is assumed, but the readers are allowed to participate in a discussion of very deep ideas. Throughout the book, the readers are guided through some important ideas which need to be explained mathematically. The key fact is that the mathematics is not about calculation but about concepts. Much of it can be simplified using coloured text and diagrams. This means that ideas which are important to everyone who wants to know how the universe is structured are not glossed over as being too difficult for anybody but the experts.This book is written for a wide audience. Experts will gain a great deal, but so will lay readers. This would be an ideal book for students to read before progressing to another book by the author, The Foundations of Physical Law.

While I have not finished the book yet, it is one of the best and clearest introductions on the conundrums of quantum mechanics I have ever read and I've read a few. The author's main thesis is that it is not so much quantum mechanics that is weird but us in our everyday habits of thought and adherence to certain traditional forms of mathematics such as being stuck on the idea that multiplication is necessarily commutative even though, as it turns out, three dimensional space is not. That is, x times y does not necessarily equal y times x. The order of multiplication makes a difference. The first result may be positive and the second one negative even though they may have the same numeric value. He illustrates this with a neat and simple exposition of Quarternions which were invented by Hamilton well over a 100 years ago and have only fairly recently gained some daily acceptance in, of all places, 3 dimensional computer graphics where the software engineers using them don't give a damn for political correctness. They want something that works the best way possible, never mind if it offends the entrenched mathematical habits and sensitivities of certain academic physicists, electrical engineers, and the ghost of Oliver Heaviside. There's lots more to the book that I haven't gotten to yet and which I'm looking forward to. Great fun. Highly recommended.
