This is not an ordinary book and extraordinary would still be
an understatement. Robert Louis Kemp has
built a plateau of quod erat
demonstrandum (Q.E.D.) in math, physics and logic; defined as his Super Principia Mathematica. Beyond brilliant, Kemp has worked on his book
for over two decades, sacrificing personal comfort and financial security to
laboriously bring to fruition his textbook style, hardback, expertly
illustrated principles to the understanding level prevailed by most
people. By “most people” he means those
who have a basic understanding of mathematics, geometry, algebra, calculus,
physics and most importantly possessing the curiosity to learn.
Kemp unpretentiously begins with a quick introduction of the
laws of physics, math, relativity, quantum mechanics, and other issues
regarding creation of matter, the beginning of the universe, plus dark energy,
particle physics, atomic energy, geometry, time and space. In doing so he credits the groundbreaking
work done by others over the centuries, such as; Nicolas Copernicus, Jonannes
Kepler, Rene Descartes, Isaac Newton, and more recently Michael Faraday, Albert
Einstein, Hendrik Lorentz, Alexander Friedman and the contemporary and controversial
work of Steven Rado. However most
notably Robert Louis Kemp celebrates the work and wisdom on one which he quotes
throughout his prose and cites credit beyond all the others, and that is God. I would not classify this book within the
genre of theology; however it is refreshing to see a man with such scientific
acumen articulate his respect for a fundamentally diametrically opposing
thought process.
It would be impossible to describe the scientific
descriptions of Kemp without quoting an excerpt from his work to illustrate the
nature of his writing. Halfway into this
book he talks about the principles of The Vacuum Force. To quote, “The Vacuum Force is popularly thought of as an attractive effect,
which is incorrect since vacuums do not innately attract matter like Gravity
does using mass. The Vacuum Force behaves
similar to a home vacuum where the dust being “sucked” into a vacuum cleaner is
actually being pushed in by the higher pressure air on the outside of the
cleaner.” Kemp then goes into a
discussion of the suction of fluids, which quite interestingly, “… if the pressure is inward (centripetal)
motion, its motion does not follow a straight (radial) path to the center; it
follows a spiraling path; this is called a vortex.” This is brought deeper into the discussion of
the forces of the vacuum, the effect of “zero-point energy,” called the Casimir Effect, proposed by Dutch
physicist Hendrik B. G. Casimir. “In quantum field theory, the Casimir effect
and vacuum force are physical forces arising from a quantized field.” Kemp further goes on to show the relationships
using algebraic equations.
An analytical critique of the examples of Robert Louis
Kemp’s work in a book review is like taking all of Mozart’s music and summarizing
it into a 30 second sound bite. Kemp
writes concisely and cohesively on Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, further explaining the relationships of gravitational
force, energy, matter and time with countless drawings, equations, and
formulas. This book is not to be read in
one sitting, but to be savored, chapter by chapter preferably by a discussion
group or class, and used as a foundation for further discovery. I have found nothing to contradict or state
any opposing comments.
I will reiterate the tools described by Kemp, as stated in
his Prologue, “For me, the mathematics of physics, are the tools that God gave man
that he may understand, describe, and predict the great works of God’s created
universe.” This textbook style book
has hundreds of “white board” equations, numerous expertly diagramed
illustrations, and an index precisely affording the reader access to the points
of reference within the text by subject. The reader will understand the relationships between such abstract
forces and be able to compute the solution of an unknown variable based upon
known formulas. His work is recommended
for college level classroom studies, independent learning, and as a satisfying
source of information for the curiosity within all of us. Robert Louis Kemp takes these tools and in this,
one of his series of publications, Super
Principia Mathematica: The Rage to Master Conceptual & Mathematical Physics
-The General Theory of Relativity becomes a man and with a clear, cognitive
vision describing God’s universe to all fellow men.
