Exploring the Physics of the Universe: An Adventurers Guide

By Milo Wolff

Follow a trail of scientific clues and ideas from the Greeks to Newton, Mach, Clifford, Einstein, Dirac, Feynman, and beyond to modern galactic astronomy, as Wolff conducts an investigation of the fundamental particles and their relationship to the structure of the universe, proposing an answer to the question, "Is there a unification theory of physics?" 46 illustrations.

A good read, and an insightful introduction to wave theory

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.

The Wave Structure of Matter

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; http://www.spaceandmotion.com/#Milo.Wolff

If you are interested in Science, buy this book.

As the author's daughter, I am naturally prejudiced. However, being the daughter of a physicst can be frustrating if you are not scientifically inclined. Reading my father's book, brought me closer to his world and made me understand that the human element affects the sterile world of science more than the layman would think. A great primer on science and the history of science, or at least the one that made me pay more attention in my Physics classes!

This is an educator's book, aimed at students who are bright

Way back in 1994, we reviewed this excellent little book in our dissident physics journal Galilean Electrodynamics (vol. 5, no. 4, p. 100). Hard copy of the full review is available from the Editor, Dr. Cynthia K. Whitney, 141 Rhinecliff Street, Arlington, MA 02476-7331, USA; e-mail dwhitney@mit.edu. The main point is: "This is an educator's book. It is aimed at students who are bright and curious and not overly indoctrinated. Even quite mature physics dissidents can appreciate this book. Unlike the typical text, it dwells very little on the technical details of established physics, and puts the emphasis instead on that which we do not really know. It gives a wealth of pending research topics and candidate ideas that need to be worked out. "The unknowns are the "why's" behind the most fundamental facts of nature, such as force laws, conservation laws, and relativistic or quantum behaviors. The candidate ideas comprise the author's theory of "space resonances". ..." Enjoy."

essential reading

It's clear that Wolff is ahead of his time. He delivers the most thorough and unique explanation of wave matter theory I've ever encountered. His outline of the fundamental laws of science proves invaluable to any aspiring astro-physicist. He presents complex ideas in such a compelling way that, if you're like me, you won't want to put the book down. Kudos to Dr. Wolff!!!
