Description

Have you ever wondered how the space and time of our everyday lives works - and why?

David Pearcey is here to help, with A Holistic Story of Space and Time, a thorough exploration through our world of space and time.

Explaining how space and time works as a complete system, the book is helped by brief accounts of the contributions of some of the great scientists and philosophers who helped us understand its components. Intended for the general reader who has no previous technical understanding, A Holistic Story of Space and Time delves into several areas - the types of geometries of space, the motion of matter in space, and how the force fields of matter pervade space, as well as how we perceive space and time by treating the brain as an information management system.

It shows how the process of perception allows us to determine the true nature of the geometry of the space and time of the real world.

Much more is also looked into in detail such as Einstein's special and general theories of relativity including his unified field theory, electromagnetism, and quantum physics, including charts and diagrams to explain some of the concepts involved. The final part of the book investigates the relationship between us who perceive the real world and the space and time of the real world, using the ideas developed by the philosophers Kant and Schopenhauer.

This all combines to give the reader a uniquely broad look into our world and explains how it works as a total entity, from the cosmic world of the curved geometry of general relativity to the mysterious quantum world and then the philosophical aspects of how we are part of it.

Anyone with an interest in the way things work will be well-suited to this extraordinary book that answers the why as well as the what and how.
