What is Null Physics? - Null Physics is a unified theory derived from logic and empirical evidence that quantifies the relationship between physical states of existence and nonexistence. Utilizing a broadened physical geometry, Null Physics presents an intricate, four-dimensional expression of the universe in which energy and space constitute existence. In the application of Null Physics, science can now define and quantify the fundamental properties of matter and energy (light) directly from geometry. (top)

What is the premise behind Null Physics? Null Physics is derived from the concept that our entire universe is the internal structure of nothingness. In other words, physical reality is an intricate, four-dimensional geometric equation that adds to zero because it exists within zero. There is no beginning or end to our universe because there is no beginning or end to nothingness. Reality is composed of space and curvatures of space (energy), both of which are composed of geometric points, which are the physical representation of nothingness. In short, there is no difference between a universe whose sum is zero and a universe that exists as a formulation of zero. (top)

Can a layman understand Null Physics? Yes, all of the calculations in Our Undiscovered Universe lead to immediate understandable results. The equations are included for scientists but they lead to results or graphs that are easily interpreted by a layman. It is easy to skip the math and see the results in each section. (top)

What is groundbreaking about Null Physics? It is a theory that is built in concrete science. It answers questions about the universe in a concrete manner using mathematics and science. It is built on pure fundamentals of physics and reality that many scientists do not follow. (top)

What is Null Cosmology? Stars are fueled by hydrogen and have nuclear fusion. The hydrogen is converted into heavy elements and light which then lose energy over time and distance. This results in microwaves. Microwaves combine with galactic halos and create electricity. That electricity is drawn into black holes and released from the core. Then the cycle continues. (top)

Does Null Physics consider quantum mechanics (QM) and general relativity (GR)? Yes, QM and GR cover a lot of theoretical ground and both contain quite a few different premises. What Null Physics claims is that all of the phenomena described by QM and GR are the product of a single deep geometry. Null Geometry is nonlinear and four-dimensional, as opposed to the 10 or more dimensions advocated by string theories. Null Physics requires fewer dimensions than string because it isn't built on top of QM or GR, but lets them form their own basis. (top)

Null Physics claims that the most fundamental units of energy are second-meter^2. Isn't this in direct conflict with basic physics, which has energy's units as kilogram-meter^2/second^2? No, it's actually a unification of basic physics. The SI system of measurement contains a number of 'fundamental' units, such as second, meter, kilogram, and Coulomb, many of which have been used, in one form or another, for hundreds of years. Theoretical physicists talk about grand unification all the time, but fail to realize that a truly unified theory will actually reduce the number of independent units that are used to describe the physical world. Null physics demonstrates a geometric relationship between the SI units of second, meter, and kilogram. (top)

The Chapter 2 excerpt has 1^M = (1^M/inf^3) (inf^3). Since 1^M = 1, this just reduces to 1 = 1, which isn't exactly a revelation. What kind of 'new physics' is this? The closure equation in the Chapter 2 excerpt is not an algebraic equation in need of a solution. It describes the geometric relationship between space, infinite smallness, and totality. Just as a unit hypercube is not the same thing as a unit line segment, 1^4 and 1 are not the same thing (in a geometric context, at least). (top)

Is it true that Null Physics supports tired light as an explanation for intergalactic redshift? Tired light, which tries to explain the intergalactic redshift purely in terms of the energy loss of individual photons, fails a number of observational tests. The most important of these is the broadened light curves of Type 1a supernova. The intensity of the light from these explosions has a characteristic rise time and decay period, and it has been found that the greater a signal's redshift, the broader (longer) the light curve, in direct proportion. Thus, not only are photons redshifted, but the distance between them is also expanding over time. Further, the observed intergalactic redshift has no associated refractive or directional dispersion, and energy loss is proportional to photon energy. This means that it is not caused by the interaction between photons and any known form of matter or energy. Null Physics shows, using the general theory of relativity, that the observed intergalactic redshift is consistent with the static spatial curvature of a nonexpanding universe. (top)

If photons lose energy in intergalactic redshift, where does this energy go? Since the universe is not expanding, the energy lost by photons through intergalactic redshift has to go somewhere. The universe's primary luminosity is the optical band (UV-red), and when these photons are redshifted they release microwaves directly into the cosmic microwave background (CMB). Although these microwaves are initially collinear with their source photons (in order to conserve energy and momentum) they are quickly (by astronomical standards, at least) scattered by the next link in what is referred to in Our Undiscovered Universe as the cosmic fusion cycle. The CMB's power spectrum is consistent with this scattering mechanism, but there is far more direct evidence of this process, and it is presented in detail in Part IV of Our Undiscovered Universe.

The Chapter 10 excerpt says that an atomic nucleus is composed of electrons and protons. Since electrons, protons and neutrons are all spin 1/2 fermions, doesn't this violate the conservation of angular momentum? Bound electrons, as found in neutrons and atomic nuclei, and free electrons, as found orbiting atoms, in plasma, etc, are radically different geometries. A bound electron has a core radius comparable to that of a proton (< 1 F), whereas a free electron has a core radius of 1738 F, about 3% of the radius of a hydrogen atom. The process of compressing a free electron to its bound state is accompanied by the absorption of an antineutrino. The reason neutron decay releases a neutrino, and not a photon, is specifically because of the huge geometrical difference between electrons in their bound and free states. Neutrinos provide spin conservation, irrespective of whether or not a neutron is a proton-electron.

Electrons' 1738 F free-space radius is a completely natural extension of null geometry, and is responsible for the phenomenon known as electron degeneracy pressure. Null geometry also provides the basis of the strength and range of the Strong force between protons, the inter-nucleon spacing of a deuteron, the source of the Weak and Coulomb forces, and a host of other "mysteries".

It is important to note that contemporary physics offers no cohesive explanation of what "spin" actually is, or why elementary particles should possess it. Certainly it is related to the conservation of angular momentum, but it is just a quantum parameter that has no physical representation. Electrons are typically thought of as point particles, yet they "spin" on their axis and have a finite mass, both of which are geometrically nonsensical for a particle that has no volume. Einstein lost the fight between geometry and probability a long time ago, for two reasons: Firstly, because the geometry he used was nonphysical (please see the white paper section on OurUndiscoveredUniverse.com) and secondly, because gravitation is not the most important of the universal forces. Null Physics resumes and wins the debate between geometry and probability, using a revolutionary new physical geometry derived directly from the relationship between existence and nonexistence. (top)

Why does the universe exist? It exists because it has to. The universe is parts of nothing because it is made of a series of points that are made of nothingness. (top)

What do you want people to know about Null Physics? I want people to have answers to the most important questions in the universe and be able to apply the concept to scientific work and discoveries. Null Physics will progress our knowledge of technology and be an essential tool to cure some of the biggest problems of the 21st century. (top)

There are hundreds of 'universe theories' out there. What makes Our Undiscovered Universe different? Everything. Its standards of evidence. Its rigorous empirical validation. Its broad scope. Its comprehensive, professional, and thorough presentation. And most importantly, its intellectually satisfying solution of a wide variety of vexing physics conundrums. One of the reasons why there are so many alternative theories is because, for the last few decades, the connection between contemporary physics and reality has become progressively more tenuous. This trend can only be reversed with a fusion between rationality and empiricism, and alternative theories seldom provide either. Our Undiscovered Universe gives us both.

If Our Undiscovered Universe is really a physics revolution, why doesn't the author just give it to the world for free? He does. 100% of the proceeds of book sales from Our Undiscovered Universe go to the promotion of null physics, educational outreach, and research grants. No tax dollars were spent on developing this remarkable theory, and until such time as universities include null physics in their research programs, its sole source of revenue will be book sales.

When is the theoretical physics community going to comment on Our Undiscovered Universe? In will be interesting to see. Credibility is the coin of the realm in science, and there are quite a few good reasons, such as fear of losing funding, for a scientist to be conservative. Keep in mind that the cold fusion fiasco is still a painful memory for many physicists, and the last thing they want to do is be associated with any bold new claims.

How could some outsider solve problems that thousands of scientists have been working on for decades? The key word here is 'decades'. The foundational problems in physics are so old and deeply entrenched, and the theoretical physics community so resistant to change, that the most likely source of the next physics revolution lies entirely outside of this environment. The mystery isn't how an original solution might come from an outsider; the mystery is why it has taken so long. It goes without saying that skepticism is a valuable attribute, and is, after all, what prompted Terence Witt to pursue the road less traveled. But skepticism should always be tempered with curiosity.

If Our Undiscovered Universe is such an incredible scientific breakthrough, why wasn't it published in a respected, peer-reviewed scientific journal? Peer-reviewed physics journals are excellent venues for presenting new measurements, statistical analyses and mathematical models, but they are not designed to revisit long-standing interpretations of well-known measurements. Journals are published by consensus. They reinforce the reigning paradigms; they do not publish papers that challenge paradigms.
