Book excerpt: Mosley's light-hearted, intriguing book does something seldom encountered in the literature of popular physics - indeed, of any physics - it proposes a new, credible model of the ultimate structure of reality. First off, you'll discover a rather unsettling list of things we don't know - we really don't know, for example, what time is, how gravity does what it does, whether quantum physics and relativity can ever be united, what dark matter and dark energy truly are, how all of creation will end, and where the Universe came from. Mosley then leads you on a tour of theoretical physics from the days of Kepler and Galileo through Einstein's relativity, Planck's impossibly small realm, and the weird Copenhagen interpretations of quantum theory, coming finally to our present struggles and impasse: fifteen profound questions at the heart of physics.In a Toad's mad romp through physical discovery and ideas, Mosley explains not only what folk were (and are) thinking, but how they got to thinking that way. And some of that thinking, partner, was (and is) plenty loopy.Then Mosley goes where few venture; he offers a new proposal based on the Planck-Einstein vacuum energy and harmonics at the smallest measure of space-time. This, says he, creates a simple geometry compatible with both quantum theory and relativity, uniting them. In two chapters entitled "How it all Works (a) and (b)," Mosley explains a mechanism for gravity, for dark matter's mysterious presence, for what time is and where time is, for why the universe simply may not be able to cease, and how - at the deepest level - nothing moves; nothing even exists. Enjoy Sidney Harris' cartoons, wry quips out of nowhere, asides from the Twilight Zone, and sudden plunges into the madness of speculative science where it's logically proven that you'll never die. This surprising book is a vital link between the geek brain and the funny bone. Yes, you'll encounter a counter-universe whale munching the domestic lampshades, but Mosley's "heuristic speculation" is serious. This thing stands a fair chance of being not even wrong. And you will have read it first, right here.
