NEW YORK, March 24, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A rigorous work, '1': The Foundation and Mathematization of Physics by Orest Bedrij, describes a method for "measurement-based prediction" and determination of the known, as well as previously unknown, fundamental physical constants and the laws of physics. '1' "brings order to physics."
Building on the basic slide-rule idea used for the prediction of "mathematical relationships of numbers," Bedrij's Logarithmic Slide-rule of Physical Relationships (LSPR) enables the prediction and validation of the "physical relationship of quantities" and "fundamental physical constants." Similar to the traditional slide-rule that shows the order, values, and spectrum of numbers, the LSPR, a rigorously validated mechanical analog computer, predicts the "order of physical quantities," the "values of the fundamental physical constants," and the "natural spectrum of the laws of physics."
While every physicist will benefit from reading '1,' all scholars of science, philosophy, or religion will find the work enriching and enhancing education. Among other new fundamental concepts presented, readers will learn analogous to the mathematical "zero" about the universe's "natural zero" -- the "laws of physics unchanging 'rest frame': '1'," the nature of time, the nature space, gravity, and consciousness. Also, physicists will find fifteen measurements based "mathematically computed constants" that have "higher precision" by a factor of ten or more than the "2006 CODATA recommended values." The constants include: the electron mass; the Planck constant; atomic unit of energy; Josephson constant; Compton wavelength; von Klitzing constant; atomic unit of electric potential; quantum of circulation; magnetic flux quantum; atomic unit of velocity; etc. In addition, physicists will find new gravitational quantities, laws of physics and fifty new fundamental physical constants that the CODATA (The Committee on Data for Science and Technology) do not have. From start to finish this book provides scientists and seekers of truth with breakthrough solutions about the laws of physics and the role of the observer. '1' empowers the science of tomorrow by extending our knowledge of the laws of nature while promoting high precision measurement-based prediction and a deeper understanding of existence.
About the Author:
Orest Bedrij is the director at the Institute for Advanced Study of '1.' In 1962, at the age of twenty-nine, he was IBM's technical director at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory California Institute of Technology. Bedrij was responsible for the development of the Space Flight Operations Facility computer complex that controlled the first soft landing on the moon. For the past forty years, Bedrij has been "unifying" the foundation of the universe, the nature of God, the Theory of Everything, and the observer, which he finds one and the same in nature and essence, '1,' and which he describes in his various works.
