A Saucerful of Science - Second Edition

It is the intention of the author that the reader be made aware that the author has the capability of scientific research in any area of science. It is the intention of the author that he should be rewarded for having been firstly a mathematical physicist, and then proceeded to further undergraduate studies, most notably in chemistry, molecular biology and biochemistry. It is the intention of the author that people know he has achieved five coursework degrees in science and agriculture, and that in consequence of this training of his mind, he has been able to take scientific research to hitherto unheard of heights. The research in chemistry speaks for itself. Regarding capillarity in plants, at the present stage of knowledge of surface tension, scientists have no understanding of how plants can hold up water for transpiration beyond a height of 60 cm. In other words, it should be impossible for plants to grow taller than 60 cm. The author is proud of this piece of mathematical biology, and his painting of a flowering plant has been included in the back cover. The work in quantum gravity has been included, which was achieved prior to Grand Unification and QTE taking quantised gravity into the stratosphere. Most notably in this book is extension to the latter two works. The author was told as an undergraduate that he would never be an electromagnetic theorist. He begs to differ. QTE started in 1988 with the proposal of the classical wavenumber spectrum. This is an understanding of the Fourier transform, so simple and yet so profound, that it is astonishing nobody thought of it before. Physics talk about wavepackets, indeed Heisenberg formulated his uncertainty principle in consideration of them, and this is the basis for the wave-particle Duality of Physics, yet it is taken no further than that in modern physics. Modern quantum mechanics discusses the amplitude of the wave, but beyond the uncertainty principle, the wavepacket concept is taken no further in quantum physics. QTE in its entirety is focused on the application of the wavepacket to classical electromagnetic theory. Another flash of insight occurred in the library at the Institute Henri Poincare in Paris, 2000, when the author was studying string theory. The proposal was that a fermion Can propagate upon an electromagnetic wave. The so-called charged “pilot wave” is not deflected by electromagnetic waves because it has zero Lorentz force.
