This book is presented in two parts. The first details the origin and developments of quantum physics. It begins over 2000 years ago when people like Aristotle began contemplating the structure of the universe. The book discusses where even he got some of his ideas. The goal in this presentation is to look at the experiments done so, you dear reader, have a chance to draw your own conclusions instead of accepting the conclusions of others. An effort is made to peer into the minds of Planck, Einstein, and deBroglie. In addition, some incidents from the lives of the long trail of people developing these concepts are related. This is fascinating in and of itself. The second part of the book is to review the experiments done and see if one might come to other conclusions. This author feels that if we understood Einstein's theory of special relativity a new door would open revealing a totally unique understanding of the universe. This book is difficult for the establishment of physics to see. This author has wondered about this for some time. During the past 5 years, an answer to this question has emerged. The physics community believes that math is the fabric of the universe. When I was an undergraduate taking a class in theoretical mechanics, the professor made a stunning declaration near the beginning of this class. He said that, up to that time, we had been studying physics with models using lines, circles, and things that represented things in the visible universe. He said from that point forward, all discussions of physics would use math explanations. This author believes that has led us down an awkward path. This book presents a model that describes the mechanics of special relativity. That understanding is like a thread that can unravel a rug when pulled. It is the beginning of a journey like no other.
