Title: The Dynamic Theory - A New View of Space-Time-Matter: The thermodynamic foundations of a five dimensional universe requiring currently known physical ... subsets is presented along with new physics. Author: Pharis E. Williams Format: Paperback This book supplies the details of the derivations by which I arrived at many conclusions concerning the natural universe of space, time and matter starting only from the three laws of classical thermodynamics. The combination of the conservation of energy in the First Law and the Second Law produce the concept of entropy for both thermodynamic and mechanical systems. Entropy is shown to best be described as ‘energy that becomes unavailable’ as it becomes infinite as velocities approach a universal limiting velocity. The universal limiting velocity required by the First and Second Laws introduces velocity dependent forces that vanish as the velocity approaches the limiting velocity. Systems with constant entropy are the most stable systems that may occur in nature and systems whose mechanical entropy remains constant are shown to obey quantum mechanical equations. However, the real power of the classical laws of thermodynamics is displayed when thermodynamic and mechanical forces are included in the laws at the same time. The design of steam engines was done while conserving mass which reduces the five dimensional First Law to a four dimensional statement. The five dimensional gauge function required of fundamental particles is dependent upon space, time and mass and produce fields that are also five dimensional and these fields are quantized. The space-time-matter universe may be restricted to a four dimensional universe of space-time by using conservation of mass with the result that the four dimensional surface embedded into the five dimensional universe must have a curvature specified by Einstein’s field equations. Five dimensional isentropic states are described by five dimensional quantum mechanics. The imposition of conservation of mass upon these isentropic states produces a quantization of Einstein’s general relativity. The gauge function for fundamental particles depends exponentially upon space, time and mass. The space dependence displays the classical long range dependence of gravitational and electrical fields. The short range space dependence is very different from the singular classical fields that tend to infinity as the separation between particles tends to zero. The short range space dependence of the five dimensional gauge fields in non-singular which requires them to return to zero as particle separation vanishes. This new short range space dependence of the gauge fields leads to a description of nuclear phenomena currently ascribed to the nuclear forces and leads to predictions of new nuclear phenomena. The time dependence of the gauge fields shows up in phenomena that involve large time differences. One such phenomenon is shifting of the frequency of light emitted by distant stars as it travels toward the Earth. The first order approximation of the predicted red shift of light results in the Hubble red shift. The full prediction shows that more massive stars may have much larger red shifts than their distance alone would require which would allow for the much larger red shifts of quasars without great distances. The time dependence of the gauge function is shown to lead to a weakening of the gravitational field over time and this, in turn, leads to an understanding of dark matter and dark energy through this time dependent gravitational field. The non-singular space dependence predicts a cosmology with expansion properties without a big bang beginning. In summary, the book presents detailed derivations of numerous applications of the classical thermodynamic laws with the result that phenomena currently covered by Newtonian, relativistic and quantum mechanics are predicted by these three laws. This is a significant reduction of the number of required fundamental assumptions in the description of these phenomena. Additionally, many new phenomena are predicted that lead to new views of the universe. • Publisher: Williams Research • Publication date: March 23, 2011 • Language: English • Print length: 486 pages • ISBN-10: 0615447112 • ISBN-13: 978-0615447117 • Item Weight: 1.42 pounds • Dimensions: 6 x 1.1 x 9 inches • Best Sellers Rank: #1,729,681 in Books (#2,436 in Physics Books) Author: Pharis E.

Pharis Williams is one of the “Crazy Ones” that Steve Jobs mentioned in the 1997 ad campaign for Apple Computers. Just like the Apple catch-phrase of those days, Pharis “thought differently.” He refused to accept “what we now know” of the flame keepers of physics. Through his diligent study of current physics, he determined that there was no ground truth for the collection of theories leading to the various fields of physics. Looking for unassailable foundations to build upon, he selected thermodynamics and expressed the foundation of his theory as a generalization of the thermodynamic laws. Einstein said years before: “A theory is the more impressive the greater the simplicity of its premises, the more different kinds of things it relates, and the more extended its area of applicability. Therefore the deep impression that classical thermodynamics made upon me. It is the only physical theory of universal content which I am convinced will never be overthrown, within the framework of applicability of its basic concepts.” Therefore, Pharis appears to have chosen well for his theoretical foundation. As a result of this judicious choice of fundamental laws, the Dynamic Theory is shown to contain all of the various branches of physics by the application of simplifying or restrictive assumptions. First consider that the First and Second Laws taken together show that there must exist a limiting velocity (c); there must be two geometrical manifolds associated with the motion of a system, one manifold is a non-integrable Weyl geometry and the other is an integrable Riemannian geometry; there must exist a gauge function that acts as a geometrical integrating factor for the Weyl manifold, and this gauge function produces Maxwellian electromagnetism. These two laws also require that the curvature of a four-dimensional hyper surface, embedded into a five-dimensional space-time-mass manifold by the requirement for conservation of mass, must be given by Einstein’s general theory of relativity (GRT). So we are given Newtonian and GRT mechanics and Maxwell electromagnetism from these two simple and unassailable laws. Read this book to see what other marvels the theory reveals. If the reader is unable to follow the math, read the sections that explain the wide range of predictions made--none of which have been disproven within the context of the theory. The future of The Dynamic Theory is up to the scientists and engineers of tomorrow who not only think outside the box, but can think and work in five dimensions and beyond. Perhaps you will be that scientist. Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars Reviewer: B. Marcell Date: April 6, 2015 Verified Purchase Review: Got it as part of my husbands Christmas present. He knew the author personally and always enjoyed talking physics with him. Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars Reviewer: WRM Date: November 17, 2012 Review: I'm a big fan of Pharis, and know him personally and hope to one day work with him. This book gives all of the foundations of 5D mathematics which unifies just about all aspects of physics. The only criticism I have is that the type set takes a little getting used to, as there are some words that have spaces in the middle of them. His other book, "Against The Odds", is a remarkable autobiographical mathematics light book that is also of great interest.
