Space Particle Theory – A Framework for a Theory of Everything by author Eric Mitchell Horn is not a book which can, or should, be read in one or a few sittings, but rather used as an outline for a high-school, college, or graduate course in theoretical physics. I say this because upon finishing the book I was personally wishing to discuss it with others as to what I found brilliantly identified and defined, epitomizing, revealing, along with some issues even perplexing.
Relying on a foundation of mathematical equations, which at times are admittedly quite challenging to grasp, Horn bridges the gap between quantum physics and Einstein’s relativity by using many examples of analogous situations of which readers can certainly understand. The aspect of combining math with situational examples throughout this book enables an introductory and expanded understanding of his theory, as well as consequently an enjoyable experience.
If nothing exists, then simply there is nothing in space – but that is not the case as Horn states space is not empty but filled with particles which are the basis forces for gravity, electromagnetism, matter … all we perceive in the physical universe – even time itself.
He articulates interactions from subatomic to galactic relationships, from quantum to classical physics, all with a written voice without personal pontification and exemplifying a sincere admiration of the concepts with his personal grace in explanation. Those skillful qualities of persuasion bring this book into an extraordinary best-in-class for all those with curiosity in the fundamentals of the universe.
For example, Horn describes the speed of light by showing how many round-trips light would travel between, say, New York and Paris, in one second explaining the speed of light both as the number of roundtrips and the fractional time decimal equivalent of each event. Then, with the fitness of a mathematician he explains various equations, illustrating this relationship and defines it with an alpha code, thus enabling its insertion into higher level equations. Then he would use Star Trek’s Captain Kirk saying to Sulu “warp 2 Mr. Sulu” bringing to readers a clear way to imagine how to speed things up.
Space Particle Theory is compressible to readers without advanced training in physics or mathematics, making it unassuming and enjoyable for readers with basic curiosity into areas of electromagnetic forces, gravity, cosmology, time and space, and the universe. Its principles provide a creative theory which, albeit difficult to prove with experiments given the current lack of instrumentation and measurement, fills a void in place with other conventional physics, which is in fact the particle itself.
A bold and Herculean effort into the defining a fresh concept supported by mathematical and situational examples, Horn’s Space Particle Theory – A Framework for a Theory of Everything is a book, a resource, and a fundamental course guide of knowledge which should be savored, not rushed, and enjoyed – perhaps along with a strong cup of coffee. With clear language and compelling logic, Horn guides readers through complex concepts, making this groundbreaking theory approachable for anyone fascinated by the mysteries of the cosmos.
