Advanced Physics—Third Edition (1967)

This book further develops the concept of building science starting with language then evolving mathematics, mechanics, physics, all of physical science, biology, sociology and the cosmos.  The physics presented here were “more of the same” as given in Advanced Physics.  Practically all physicists would still not expect that this new theory of physics had any chance of success.  However, the book produced several interesting results.
            The concept of a “system physicist” was introduced in this book.  My idea was to tackle all of physics at once and continually look at the whole picture.  I felt this was my “ace-in-the-hole” which would lead me in the right direction—and make up for my lack of detailed knowledge in the various “nooks-and-crannies” of current physics development.  A colleague of mine, a U.S. Air Force General, was very negative about this approach.  He, incidentally, was quite knowledgeable in kinetic theory—which is the type of theory I was developing.
            In the Introduction, page 1 paragraph 2, the importance of obtaining controlled fusion (of nuclei) was noted.  The key to controlled fusion is having an understanding of the strong nuclear force.  In the book The Grand Unified Theory of Physics the strong nuclear force mechanism is presented.  Its further development should show whether controlled fusion is, or is not, possible.
            The book, Advanced Physics—Third Edition, was sold to almost enough libraries in the United Stated to pay for its publication.
            I gave a copy of the book to Dr. Rudolph Carnap.  He was a well-know philosopher of science and was one of the editors of International Encyclopedia of Unified Science.  He read the book and was quite complimentary and encouraged me to continue my efforts.  However, he believed I was on the “wrong-track” by not accepting  Einstein’s theory of special relativity.
            Finally, the book was obtained by Dr. Robert M. Wood and Mr. Chan King at the Douglas Aircraft Company (later the McDonnell Douglas Company and, even later the Boeing Company) and because of the gravitation discussion it lead me to joining their company.  I was given a large budget and three years of full-time employment to develop the theory.  The project lasted from 1967 to 1970. Two important results came from that effort.  These results are reported in the next two publications.
