Preface

Part One: "Physics without Constants," contains information about my discoveries pertaining to the fundamental, universal physical constants of nature, which I see as FUPCONs. I prove these discoveries mathematically through the process of dimensional analysis using the natural, dimensional, quantum attributes of elementary particles as units of measure.

Each chapter eliminates a particular FUPCON from the traditional list of FUPCONs until only the really natural ones, which are few, remain. Together, these chapters show the quantitative aspect of physical interactions without using FUPCONs and explain why these constants existed in the past and need exist no longer. They present a simple, rationalized methodology of formulating and interpreting expressions that depict physical phenomena of elementary particles. They show how the new, simplified expressions lead to a better understanding of our environment and why the old ones caused confusion.

Part Two: "Our Dual Universe," contains my subjective metaphysical suppositions about the structure of our universe prompted by the discoveries of Part One. To help explain these suppositions, I create some gedankenexperiments.

If you are neither a physicist nor scientifically inclined, do not fear the mathematics in this book. To understand the presentation, you need only a half-retained memory of high-school algebra and, possibly, a thumb-through of the appendixes. While reading, you may want to keep my discoveries in perspective by consulting a good, comprehensive physics textbook. David Halliday and Robert Resnick's Physics published by John Wiley & Sons is an excellent choice. This perennial favorite is updated to its fourth edition and includes material by a new contributor, Kenneth Krane.

Much of the information that I present in this book has never before been revealed. I discovered it by creating equations that use a measurement system with units containing magnitudes equal to those of the natural (quantized) dimensional attributes of the elemental particle to which the equations pertain. The resulting simpler equations, without constants, enabled me to develop new interpretations of their meaning.

Further, by metaphysically extrapolating these interpretations, I created new insights into the reality of two extremes of nature--the infinitesimally minuscule and the stupendously humongous.

After reading this book, you will better appreciate the brilliance of the physicists, who, despite the burden of using a two-century-old, irrational system of unit measures, nonetheless, discovered fantastic truths about the structure of Our Unitary Universe.

Therefore, continue, dear reader, because my book contains titillating surprises.
