Questions & Answers

Q	What is Logical Universe about?
A	Logical Universe offers a common sense picture of the universe that everyone can understand. It explains among other things, why gravity and inertia occur.
Q	Why does gravity occur?
A	Gravity occurs because the fabric of the universe, what Albert Einstein called “Space-Time” is in motion in all directions. It moves toward Earth from space, acts upon the Earth as it holds the Earth together, and leaves the Earth on the opposite side, a little weaker than when it first approached the Earth. The fabric of the universe moving toward Earth from space is stronger than the fabric of the universe moving away from Earth. This is why objects are accelerated toward Earth; objects are pushed toward each other by the fabric of the universe.
Q	What is your background?
A	I was born and raised in Washington State where I currently live with my wife and two sons. I absolutely love the universe and have been studying it ever since my great aunt Dorothy gave me a set of science encyclopedias when I was a young boy. My scientific background consists of a lifelong passion for the universe coupled with years of personal studies through books, magazines and the internet, as well as observations that I make of the universe around me.
Q	You say that a single force is responsible for everything; what do you see that leads you to this conclusion?
A	Perhaps the single most compelling thing is the direct relationship that exists between inertia, gravity, and the propagation of light. The fact that gravity acts at the exact same speed that light propagates through the universe is evidence of a direct relationship between the two; it is evidence that they are both caused by the same thing. And the inverse similarities of gravity acting inward toward matter, and light propagating outward away from matter add more weight to this conclusion. If we accept Albert Einstein’s proposition that gravity is caused by the warping of the fabric of the universe in the vicinity of massive objects, it becomes clear that both the propagation of light, and gravity, are caused by the fabric of the universe. In addition, the motion of light is evidence that the fabric of the universe is in motion throughout the universe. Inertial mass and gravitational mass are equal. This is evidence of a direct relationship between gravity and inertia. By this it is clear that inertia is caused by the same thing that causes gravity; the fabric of the universe. The fact that all matter, regardless of its velocity or spatial location, is subject to inertia, is evidence of the dynamic nature of the fabric of the universe. With this recognition of the dynamic fabric of the universe, we can begin to see how this single force is responsible for everything, and just how simple the universe really is.
Q	Is the universe expanding?
A	Cosmologists believe it is, based upon their interpretation of blue- and red-shifted light from distant sources. In Logical Universe however, I explain that theirs is a misinterpretation and that the blue- and red-shifted light indicates the amount of matter in a given volume rather than the expansion of the universe.
