Opis

If you took all of the mystery novels in the world and stacked them end to end, they would probably stretch all the way from Kansas to Maine. Try to imagine these works as being unfinished, or with the last chapter missing. Well, this is a very similar situation to modern cosmology. We have enough science books to stretch across a continent, but we cannot explain the nature of creation. All we need is that one book to explain how the universe was made in order to solve this mystery, and complete the science of modern cosmology. "Reflex cube and the nature of the universe" is that one book. Not everyone in science is willing to embrace the idea of theoretical physics as an explanation for the nature of the universe. But for those of us who realize that any possible answer has to come in the form of a theory in order to be appreciated, then there is hope. We will know the answer, because we are open to the idea of unknown physics, and are willing to study the theoretical physics it takes to explain them. For example, when astrophysicists began observing the gamma ray bursts at the outer edges of the universe, they concluded that the super novae had to be massive in size for us to see, and should therefore be reclassified as hyper novae. It wasn't long before they began to theorize that such an event might cause an implosion which would create a black hole. If we were to take this line of reasoning a step further, perhaps the big bang itself had another side to it we hadn't thought of before. Instead of the implosion in the big bang creating a black hole, the implosion creates gravity, a fixed force of resistance holding the universe back from running away with itself. The idea is central to the book, and eventually leads us into a language of science and mathematics to explain the nature of the space-time continuum, in a modern theorem I call "reflex cube."
