This book is about the methods used for unifying different scientific theories under one all-embracing theory. The process has characterized much of the history of science and is prominent in contemporary physics; the search for a "theory of everything" involves the same attempt at unification. Margaret Morrison argues that, contrary to popular philosophical views, unification and explanation often have little to do with each other. The mechanisms that facilitate unification are not those that enable us to explain how or why phenomena behave as they do. The book emphasizes the importance of mathematical structures in unification, and claims that despite this common feature theory unification is a multi-faceted process for which no general account can be offered.

Unifying distinct domains of phenomena is one of the most important non-empirical virtues of scientific theories. However, what counts as unification and what makes it important are philosophically controversial. I canvass two positions toward unification (the enthusiasts and the dissenters) as well as two methods to approach unification: the general approach and the specific approach based on case studies. Some philosophers take unification to be truth conducive (Friedman), others to be central to scientific explanation (Kitcher) and still others find it to be typically neither (esp. Morrison). To make progress on these questions, attention should be paid to concrete, historical episodes. In my dissertation I tackle one of the most significant episodes in the history of physics, an episode that--oddly given how important the theory is now in the context of String Theory--has escaped historical and philosophical investigations or it has been under-investigated. That episode is the early attempt to unify gravity and electromagnetism within a five-dimensional spacetime by Kaluza (1921) and Klein (1926). This theory is philosophically interesting in its own light, but as the ancestor to current attempts to unify gravity with matter fields, it is rich with consequences for the contemporary foundations of physics. Morrison (2000) argues that many instances of unification are trivial, spurious or related neither to explanatory power, nor to scientific realism. Others have recently argued that unification in general is neither necessary, nor sufficient for explanation, although there may be some (weak) correlations between unification and explanation. Against this background I emphasize the novelty of my approach by making room for a new type of unification illustrated by Kaluza, and especially by Klein, in which unification is strongly related to explanation. Although some aspects of my case study are suggested in the philosophical literature, they are never fully discussed. I argue that, as a two-stage process from Kaluza to Klein, the Kaluza-Klein theory brings about an increased unificatory and explanatory power and becomes less ad-hoc. Kaluza's theory is interesting because it is, arguably, almost a real-life case of a spurious unification (save his speculations about quantum mechanics). Klein improves significantly on Kaluza and proposed a curled fifth axis (a procedure called "compactification"), explains the quantization of electrical charge, uses fewer brute facts and fewer types of symmetry, and solves problems Kaluza could not. As the five-dimensional theory became more unified with Klein, I argue that it has a greater explanatory power. In addition, I show how the sense in which Klein's theory is unificatory is interestingly different than in some other unificatory theories (in contrast to e.g. electromagnetism). Unlike Kaluza, Klein employed an extrinsic factor: the behavior on the fifth dimension of a wave-function--present neither in gravity nor in electromagnetism--which has had its own interesting history. Kaluza-Klein offers a novel type of unification; Klein's unification, in particular, constitutes a type of unification which is neither reductive, nor synthetic. In opposition to some dissenters, I show in greater detail how unification works in the practice of science and how it relates to explanation, simplicity, theory validation, etc. I claim that the recurrent skeptical positions are rooted in a misunderstanding of both the concept of unification and the concept of scientific explanation. Finally, I stress the importance of the Kaluza-Klein type of unification for recent attempts to explore extra-dimensions of spacetime (related mainly to String Theory).

In the past few decades, physicists have uncovered a hidden order in nature; some have called it the Cosmic Code. Based on this order, scientists aim to uncover a grand unifying Theory of Everything (TOE). Once this order is decoded, it is envisioned by some that all fields of knowledge could be linked together based upon it. Using the work of experts in various fields, this book links testable scientific evidence in the Koran with modern discoveries that lead to a normative decoding of that order. The book is unique and has the potential to evoke great interest among scientists and lay people alike because of its non-traditional linking of science and religion. The work leading to the writing of this book, and the book itself can well be described as the "most important discovery" of the modern era. It also presents the Koran as a "falsifiable" scientific theory, which years of scientific inquiry have provided testable evidence for. It is a coherent presentation of the author's life work, a collection of over 15 years of research carried out by him. The author was nominated for the prestigious Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion .

This book adopts the view that the universe is infinite and eternal - but scientifically created. This paradox of creating eternity depends on the unimaginably advanced electronics (whose binary digits of 1 and 0 base- 2 mathematics) developed by future humanity. Those humans will develop time travel, plus unbelievably advanced computer simulations that use so-called "imaginary" time and infinite numbers like pi. They will also become the El or Elohim (names used by various religions to mean "God" or "the gods"). As astronomer Carl Sagan wrote in his book "God" or "the gods"). As astronomer Carl Sagan wrote in his book "Pale Blue Dot - A Vision of the Human Future in Space," "Many religions teach that it is the goal of humans to become gods." The incredible electronics and programming of thousands of years from now will surely result in binary digits giving rise to a vector-tensor-scalar relationship that unites an infinite Earth with the Higgs boson and an Elohim that would be termed supernatural today, though their infinite abilities are actually natural outcomes of progress. When I first started thinking about writing this book, it was intended to be entirely about science. But as the book developed; the approach of unifying all the sciences in the universe into one thing grew into viewing everything as one thing. All objects and events on Earth, in space, and in time (including the inevitability of world peace and immortality, the human condition and religion) are just one thing - like the objects in a computer image seem to be a lot of separate objects but are really just one thing (strings of binary digits). The first part of this book (every part except for the final chapter) was freely published in paperback form by Lambert Academic Publishing in early 2018. The second portion consists of a single chapter ("Mathematical Nature of Reality...") which partly revises and summarizes Part 1. The two parts are being freely re-published by Capstone Media Services later in 2018 (now). Part 1 treats Dark Matter as gravitational push holding galaxies together while Part 2 attributes Dark Matter to material particles in another large-scale dimension. This book is intended for the non-specialist reader, with the aim of keeping jargon and math's to a minimum.

For more than a century physicists have hoped that they were closing in on the Holy Grail of modern science: a unified theory that would make sense of the entire physical world, from the subnuclear realm of quarks and gluons to the very moment of creation of the universe. The End of Physics is a history of the attempts to find such a “theory of everything”; a forceful argument it will never be found; and a warning that the compromises necessary to produce a final theory may well undermine the rules of good science.At the heart of Lindley's story is the rise of the particle physicists and their attempts to reach far out into the cosmos for a unifying theory. Working beyond the grasp of the largest telescopes or the most powerful particle accelerators, and unable to subject their findings and theories to experimental scrutiny, they have moved into a world governed entirely by mathematical and highly speculative theorizing, none of which can be empirically verified. Lindley argues that a theory of everything derived from particle physics will be full of untested—and untestable—assumptions. And if physicists yield to such speculation, the field will retreat from the high ground of science, becoming instead a modern mythology. This would mean the end of physics as we know it.

********** BACK COVER TEXT ********** '1': The Ultimate Foundation of Nature may very well be the most important conceptual breakthrough in the prediction, validation, and unification of physics. It provides solutions to challenges posed by the greatest minds of all time. Eugene Wigner of Princeton University, 1963 Nobel laureate in physics, stated, "The full meaning of life, the collective meaning of all human desires, is fundamentally a mystery beyond our grasp . . . We have no right to expect that our intellect can formulate perfect concepts for the full understanding of inanimate nature's phenomena." Max Planck from the University of Berlin, 1918 Nobel laureate in physics, declared, "Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And it is because in the last analysis we ourselves are part of the mystery we are trying to solve." In '1': The Ultimate Foundation of Nature, we suggest that you have in your hands the solution for the ultimate mystery of nature that has no explanations in terms of deeper principles. It is based on the laws of physics, the unchanging frame of reference, the '1', predicting, validating, and unifying different laws and theories in a seamless, all-embracing theory of everything. Some Earlier Reviews on Books by Orest Bedrij "By integrating spiritual validations with scientific evidence, placing one upon the other in verification after verification, Orest Bedrij arrives at an amalgam of the one single fundamental concept: '1' . . . 'a holy vision of you,' 'the nature of God,' and 'the theory of everything.'" --Dr. Tibor Horvath, SJ, Professor Emeritus, University of Toronto; Founder/General Editor, Ultimate Reality and Meaning "This book is an important stepping-stone to a quantum jump in evolution, a world of oneness, which is in the making under our very eyes. May this book inspire leaders to catch up with the sages of our times, who are revealing to us the fundamental oneness of humanity and all creation." --Dr. Robert Muller, Chancellor of the United Nations University for Peace; Former Assistant Secretary General of the United Nations "Here is a manual for raising the human dimension and struggle to its cosmic significance. Its encyclopedic scope and depth is the product of a lifetime of dedicated study. Orest Bedrij brings fresh light to the Divine disguise in time . . . The book turns into the coinage of everyday parlance." --Dr. Glen A. Olds, Former President of Kent State University; US Ambassador to the UN Economic and Social Counsel Cover design by Andrew Patapis

Stringent ways of thinking, ‘conceptual frameworks’, are necessary in science. The drawback is that the associated assumptions, concepts, rules and practice may become so deeply entrenched that they turn into tacit knowledge and hence give rise to constraints in scientific thought and practice – that is, a new kind of plethora that seriously blinds and thereby hampers scientific progress. This book, 'A Unifying Theory of Evolution Generated by Means of Information Modelling', presents a methodology for describing complex knowledge domains. It applies a template information model based on a dynamic structure of interrelated functions, called the Mereon Matrix. Application of this template model to the field of evolutionary theories enabled the unification of the sometimes chaotic and competing field of evolutionary theories, large and small, seamlessly in a shared framework. The author has Masters degrees in both biochemistry and computer science, as well as a European Doctorate and PhD in health informatics and has spent 35 years in full-time research. It is her particular combination of professional experience and expertise together with the template information model which has enabled her to write this book. Whilst primarily aimed at a scientific audience, and evolutionary biologists in particular, the book will be of interest to all those looking for new approaches to exploring and explaining phenomena in nature, and because the text is largely non-technical in nature, much of the content will also be accessible to a wider readership.
