The Final Theory: Rethinking Our Scientific Legacy

The Final Theory: Rethinking Our Scientific Legacy
By Mark McCutcheon


Product Description
The Final Theory presents the first truly comprehensive and viable alternative to mainstream scientific beliefs, showing how a simple overlooked principle in nature finally explains and resolves many of the mysteries and paradoxes in today's science. Expand and liberate your mind with simple, sensible explanations for the most perplexing problems in physics today - without having to be a science scholar. What actually is gravity and how does it operate - is it a force, warped space-time, or something else entirely? Is anti-gravity possible? Is the speed of light truly a limit? Is faster-than-light communication possible? Does light truly have a dual wave-particle nature or has it simply been misunderstood? What does Einstein's E = mc2 equation actually mean? What is the true nature of energy? Are the new additions of "dark matter" and "dark energy" to our science really proper, and do they solve anything or just deepen the mysteries? The new scientific perspective in this easy-to-read book takes the reader through a wealth of compelling answers to the many unresolved questions that still plague mainstream science today.

Lament/laugh-able crack pottery, DO NOT PAY MONEY FOR THIS BOOK!

DO NOT PAY MONEY FOR THIS BOOK!
I purchased this book recently and as an avid armature physics student I read and carefully studied the text. And as I must complement the author as an impressive writer with a few provoking questions. Over all I feel that this book is a waste of time and money, the "science" that the author uses is at points laughable but most often convoluted even to the point of technical mysticism. I am all for exploring abandoned roads to the unified theory but this book's path is a circular one.


Wrtitten for the average person
Overall, a good book, but it was written to explain EVERYTHING to an audience that has never taken a physics course. It does not require any previous knowledge of physics or any other science.

It is a pretty slow, repeatitive process for someone who has a background in physics.

Interesting concept......

The Final Theory: Rethinking Scientific Legacy
This original work addresses many complex issues on how using the scientific method can go wrong. The author identifies a) the background on how scientific theories originate, and b) influences that promote, sidetrack or arrest scientific progress.
Although the author may talk, for instance, about gravity and uses mathematical formulas, the reader never feels intimidated by this information. The author's style brings up the issues from different points of view making it easy for the reader to finally understand the issues. Such an approach has also been effective in addressing opponents' critiques and the historical paradoxes that are introduced un-/intentionally.
Many readers who begin by reading what the critics have written on "The Final Theory," before actual reading the original book itself, get easily side-tracked by the many misrepresented views and evaluations. Most readers have had only a highschool or college level exposure to science, and have had a heavy doze of what the media presents (e.g., Discovery Channel, National Geographic, etc.) This is a very limited perspective and source on key issues upon which our modern civilization is established. Such 'background' education and information must be re-examined if not challenged, and the "Final Theory" is an excellent work that helps not only bring perspective and balanced solutions, but also exercises the readers' critical faculties.
