New Physics (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798218529758)

The exhaustive review of the primary sources of theoretical physics undertaken in my previous books has revealed major problems which persist to the present day. These can be seen to be largely related to inconsistencies between Einstein's theories of Special and General Relativity and quantum mechanics and the consequent inability to quantize Einstein's relativistic field equations. Of particular concern is the fact that most of the so-called elementary particles in the Standard Model are largely derived from extremely high energy collisions between protons, have very short half-lives, between two one millionths and less than one million billion billionth of a second, and have masses derived almost entirely from interaction energy, making the Standard Model appear more like a theory of mass creation in high energy physics than a theory of elementary particles. As Dirac noted in his 1933 Nobel Lecture: "To get an interpretation of some modern experimental results one must suppose that particles can be created and annihilated. Thus, if a particle is observed to come out from another particle, one can no longer be sure that the latter is composite. The former may have been created." Part I examines the foundational assumptions of the Standard Model and Part II sets out the corresponding foundational assumptions of New Physics. Both include the corresponding annotated primary source documents. In Part III, they are brought together under each heading to highlight the differences.
