Bibliographic History of Dr. Brown's Grand Unified Theory of Physics


INTRODUCTION

           It took approximately 40 years to develop the unified physical theory which is presented in the book The Grand Unified Theory of Physics.  There were a number of pamphlets, books, and articles reporting the various stages of the development.  Most of the publications are presented in their entirety in this website.  My present day (2006) evaluation of most of these publications precedes each publication as a "2006 preface."

            To better understand this bibliography I make the following comments about my technical background prior to setting out on the mission of developing a unified theory of physics:  My father was a skilled craftsman.  He built several houses completely by himself; he did wiring, plumbing, masonry, framing, finish carpentry, cabinetry, painting, everything.  He also was an auto mechanic and a coal miner. He taught me all these trades (except coal mining) by the time I was 10 years old.  My fascination with mechanical things led me into mechanical engineering and I obtained a Bachelor of Science Degree in Mechanical Engineering.  I continued my studies and received a Ph D with about equal emphasis on mechanical design, engineering mechanics, and mathematics.  I completed about eight courses in mathematics beyond calculus.  I considered myself a “hands-on” engineer.  Things became real to me only after much thinking and studying.  For example quantum theory became believable to me only after I was able to obtain the theory from the foundations of my kinetic particle universe.  With this type of background and mindset I began developing a unified theory of physics.
