The First Book Is Live!!!

It is called "The Elephant In the Room" and it covers why we misunderstood constants for over 100 years.

I did a big push over the past few months and released the first of 3 books on this framework that this blog has been discussing for years now. 

The identifying number for the hardcover is ISBN-13979-8253948286.

The book is for sale here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GVC7FRTV

There are three price points for the ebook, the paperback and the hardcover.  I am charging a fair price point for each version. 

This book covers one specific thing, how losing natural philosophy resulted in no foundational progress in physics for decades.  This was no one person's fault: it was how we set up the reward, grant and publishing structures that lead to this result.

Physics has a hundred-year-old mystery: why do the fundamental constants — c, h, G, k₂ — have the specific numerical values they have? The question has driven entire research programs. It has generated a literature of extraordinary sophistication. It has not been answered, because it cannot be answered inside the existing framework. It is the wrong kind of question.

The constants are not properties of the universe. They are properties of how we measure it. The value of G encodes the history of the French Revolutionary committee that defined the meter. The value of h encodes the definitions of the joule and the second. Change those definitions — as the 2019 SI committee did, by vote — and the numbers change. The physics does not change. Because the physics was never in the numbers.

This book identifies why that question felt profound, proves that it was malformed, and shows what the correctly formed questions look like.

The second book will cover what physics looks like with geometric ratios.  The third book will cover how we build conceptual axis, scale them, combine them into vector spaces to construct knowledge across all fields of science. How we construct knowledge has implications for achieving AGI.
