Book Description
The purpose of science is to understand Reality. The ultimate goal and Holy Grail of physics is to understand everything by a single all-embracing principle called the Theory of Everything (TOE). Jerry Davidson Wheatley has produced a scientific book that details how he found an excellent candidate for the Theory of Everything Equation: One that defies all other possibilities. The book describes the Structure of Reality and how it leads to the Ultimate Principle. The principle explains the ultimate nature of space and time. It unifies the four forces of nature (gravitational, electromagnetic, weak and strong nuclear forces) and merges Relativity with Quantum Theory. It defines the nature of consciousness and experience and, in so doing, elucidates the idea of God and Creation. It scientifically explains the Bible and most religions. It solves and explains the most vexing scientific and philosophical problems. It explains biological evolution in a nonreductionistic manner. It explains the Big Bang. It solves the logical dilemma left by Goedel's Incompleteness Theorems. His book is a comprehensive scientific understanding of reality. Yet, no math skills are needed to understand it. Recommended for serious scientists and truth-seekers.


From the Publisher
We published this book because it delivers on the promise of its title. It is not another book speculating on what scientists are trying to achieve. The book methodically explains the whole structure of reality and its functional levels. This understanding is then used to answer the big questions of science, philosophy and religion. A more serious scientist than Jerry Wheatley can not be found. That is evident throughout the book. It is an overwhelming achievement of over thirty years of full time work. The book was released without fanfare. Jerry began his scientific project with one assumption, namely that nature is uniform. Otherwise, he says, there is no sense in trying to understand anything. Other than that one assumption, he assumed nothing. There is an interesting twist to the second assumption. Years later while trying to understand the nature of spatial expansion from the Big Bang, Jerry recognized a problem. If space is defined by nothing, there is a problem in explaining the Big Bang as an expansion of space. Nothingness is everywhere -- it must extend indefinitely, even beyond the edge of universal expansion. Jerry says, "There is 'nothing' here, there is nothing there -- nothing is everywhere!" Space must be expanding into nothingness -- into itself. How can that be? The answer lies with the ultimate nature of space and the correct understanding of the cosmological singularity. It is said "physics breaks down" as parameters narrow to the singularity. It means the mathematics breaks down, but it shouldn't and it doesn't. Jerry learned that the most basic elements of mathematics are insufficiently understood. He discovered this while trying to reconcile the expansion of space with the concept of nothingness. If space is nothing, how could it expand as though it were something? Specifically: was space static or dynamic (therefore nonstatic). How could it be both without contradiction? If it is not nothing, then it is not space. So, either there are two types of space or the ultimate nature of space was not properly understood. When the accepted understanding of mathematics could not supply a noncontradictory answer to the space-nothingness problem, Jerry applied physics (particularly, the law of conservation) to math and discovered that the contemporary understanding of the basic elements of math was flawed. He began to understand why there are paradoxes in math and logic. The problem of space was similar to Russell's Paradox -- "The set of all sets which are not members of themselves." He realized that other paradoxes and Goedel's legacy resulted from insufficient understanding of the basic mathematical elements. Everyone assumed they understood how the basic elements such as zero, one, and infinity relate. But if these elements are not properly understood, then the physics to which these elements are applied will be misconstrued. And indeed, that is exactly what has happened. Appearances are deceiving. To obtain a deeper understanding of reality meant getting beyond apparent definitions. Certainly, Jerry thought, a system can only be complete when it is also consistent. Yet it is acknowledged that a system is complete only if zero equals one (0 = 1). The system Jerry was considering is none other than the complete system denoted reality. After he deciphered the structure of reality and found no inconsistencies in reality's uniformity, he reasoned that perhaps the wrong concept of consistency was applied to a completed system because of insufficient understanding of the basic elements of mathematics. And that is what he found. He reasoned how to prove 0 = 1. Although the journey to truth was mindboggling, once he got to the ultimate truth, it was easy to understand. In fact, every child understands the ultimate equation.


From the Author
If we are doomed to die, why is there life at all? What is the meaning to life? Religion did not supply a satisfactory answer. Holy books are constituted of "words on paper." Ideas do not necessarily represent reality. Words and ideas are different from what they represent! There should be a way to scientifically determine whether life has meaning beyond mere existence. The only way to do this is to map the structure of reality. This is science. Ideas are verified when evidence "in reality" corroborates statement truth. Understanding the structure of reality was a step by step process. It is similar to a jigsaw puzzle when one has not seen the finished picture. The puzzle is completed only when every piece finds its place. Each piece informs how it fits with other pieces. Pieces mesh into sections. Sections join to show the whole picture. The analogy comes full circle by substituting scientific facts for puzzle pieces. Pieces represent evidential facts. Scientific understanding relates one fact to others. Puzzle sections correspond to higher-level concepts and principles of physics. Principles enabled a systematic arranging of the diagrams into a hierarchy to represent what physics is all about -- the structure of reality. The structure defines how everything interrelates. But, it did not immediately answer all questions. Big questions of philosophy and science are answerable only when the structure of reality is reexamined through the lens of other disciplines. Multidisciplinary research produced a categorical understanding of everything.


From the Inside Flap
Final Test of the Ultimate Principle is the Big Bang Problem: The Big Bang seems paradoxical. How did it happen? How can it be explained as an expansion of space? Simply: How does space expand from a singularity? -OR- What is space expanding into -- if not itself? If space is expanding into itself, then there is a difference between expanding space and the space into which it is expanding. A clear understanding of the Ultimate Principle explains the Big Bang and the nature of the singularity. It also defines the difference between space itself and extended spatiality. It also explains why there was a Big Bang. It passes the final test: It explains cosmogenesis.

About the Author
Jerry Davidson Wheatley was born in 1943 in the United States. In 1966 Jerry obtained a college degree in science and soon began teaching. One day in early 1970 a student flipped ahead in his science book and asked: "What is color?" Jerry answered: "A thing's color is all color but the color that appears to you." Jerry immediately recognized this "color paradigm" could help resolve the philosophy problem of idealism and subjectivism. As a question: Is the so called "physical world" separate from its perception, or is it some kind of illusion of consciousness? Empirical science is based on the idea that the "external world" exists apart from our awareness of it. And, that idea, though not seriously contested, has not been satisfactorily understood and explained -- until now. The color paradigm provided a way to discern there is a "world out there" that is separate from one's awareness of it. Later, we learn quantum theory suggests there is no external reality. A deeper understanding of reality must reconcile these contradictory views. Jerry's book explains how.
