Brief Solutions to the Big Problems

Autor Balungi Francis
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 mar 2019
You never knew theoretical physics could be so simple! Why do things move? Is gravity a fundamental force? Why is the expansion of the universe accelerating? Can quantum mechanics and general relativity be realized as a fully consistent theory? What is wrong with the uncertainty principle? Is spacetime fundamentally continuous or discrete? Is the universe a black hole? How can the laws of physics be derived from one principle? Why does the Eddington value for the deflection of light differ from the Freundlich value in general relativity? What is the origin of mass? Does nature have more than four space-time dimensions? What is the lifetime of a proton? Why the proton radius puzzle so dangerous? Do we have a theory of everything? Is gravity and the laws of physics emergent? Is entropic gravity flawed? Is dark matter responsible for differences in observed and theoretical speed of stars revolving around the centre of galaxies, or it is something else? Why does the zero-point energy of the vacuum not cause a large cosmological constant? What cancels it out? This exciting book considers some of the deepest and most important questions in physics. Enjoy a thrilling intergalactic tour as Balungi Francis redefines the force of gravity and introduces a brave new view of the universe! A percentage of all royalties will go to charity.

Notă biografică

Balungi Francis was born in Kampala, Uganda, to a single poor mother, grew up in Kawempe, and later joined Makerere Universty in 2006, graduating with a Bachelor Science degree in Land Surveying in 2010. For four years he taught in Kampala City high schools, majoring in the fields of Gravitation and Quantum Physics. His first book, "Mathematical Foundation of the Quantum theory of Gravity," won the Young Kampala Innovative Prize and was mentioned in the African Next Einstein Book Prize (ANE). He has spent over 15years researching and discovering connections in physics, mathematics, geometry, cosmology, quantum mechanics, gravity, in addition to astrophysics, unified physics and geographical information systems . These studies led to his groundbreaking theories, published papers, books and patented inventions in the science of Quantum Gravity, which have received worldwide recognition. From these discoveries, Balungi founded the SUSP (Solutions to the Unsolved Scientific Problems) Project Foundation in 2004 - now known as the SUSP Science Foundation. As its current Director of Research, Balungi leads physicists, mathematicians and engineers in exploring Quantum Gravity principles and their implications in our world today and for future generations. Balungi launched the Visionary School of Quantum Gravity in 2016 in order to bring the learning and community further together. It's the first and only Quantum Gravity physics program of its kind, educating thousands of students from over 80 countries. The book "Quantum Gravity in a Nutshell1", a most recommend book in quantum gravity research , was produced based on Balungi's discoveries and their potential for generations to come. Balungi is currently guiding the Foundation, speaking to audiences worldwide, and continuing his groundbreaking research.
