Author Michael Jones opens minds with his interesting book “Logical Universe.” It reaches deep within taken-for-granted lessons, for a new outlook on the universe and all things relative to it. In this book we learn early on that the author believes that one single force is responsible for everything within our world. Within this book, the author not only explains his belief system but invites the reader to question their world as well. This book is written in easy to understand language that can be applied to young students and older scholars alike. Its simple premise of explaining our universe and how it works makes for contemplative, as well informational reading.
With seven basic and easy to follow chapters the reader is led through explanations for subjects such as gravity, empty space, matter, black holes, magnetic fields, and even how the universe began. These chapters cause the reader to take pause and reconsider options to subjects long taken for granted. This book will both defy and contradict some of the top science texts in the country with its unique take on gravity and in fact, the author even challenges any and all to prove that “gravity is due to objects pulling upon one another.” We learn that the author is so sure he knows the truth of gravity that he has requested that unless gravity as described previously can be proven, that all science curriculum needs to be adjusted instead of being taught as it has been for years -a lesson of which he feels has no basis in scientific fact.
Though all of the chapters in “Logical Universe” caused this reader to reconsider lessons taught long ago, I was especially taken with the chapter on ‘light.’ The facts presented and the manner in which they were presented shook this long time educator’s scientific foundation. I found myself reading this book, setting it aside and returning to it later to fully appreciate the author’s statements. The language, while simple, still can be difficult to digest for those not of a scientific bent, yet this book is easy to put down and come back to when the need arises.
I would encourage any student, educator, parent or casual science aficionado to read this book. While it may not completely convince all readers with its unique look at the universe and what it entails, “Logical Universe” will create enough doubt that one will question the time worn lessons taught in science classes for decades. And as any educator can tell you, questioning is what makes a true scholar. For when we question, we dig deeper and when we dig deeper we learn. And thus it is with “Logical Universe.” The reader will dig deeper to find the answer for himself and in doing so learn not just about the universe but about himself in the process.

Michael Jones introduces readers to the fascinating yet utterly logical universe we live in. This life-long student of the universe and science uses layman's language and illustrations that support his concepts, all in his quest to share his passion for the amazing order underlying the world we live in.
Jones argues that the universe is a simple system that operates in a logical way, yet many scientists make it much more complex than need be when trying to explain it. Logical Universe presents theories about everything from gravity and relativity to the spooky action at a distance of the quantum world, always using language that is understandable and easy to envision, especially for those who always thought science was way beyond and over their heads.
This book is comprehensive in the scope of subject matter, although some chapters could have been further developed and given more depth, but the main focus of the author's book is to get everyday readers to understand that our chaotic universe isn't so hard to understand. He argues that many scientific theories have big wholes in them, discrepencies that have never quite been addressed, and does his best to address them, putting aside the often vague explanations scientists use to often mask the fact that they just don't know how the laws of the universe play out.
Jones peppers the book with helpful "Did you know?" facts and truly strives, successfully most of the time, to get across the sheer logic of universal laws, and he does it with the curiosity of a child looking up at the night sky for the first time, and the expertise of someone who spent many years asking questions, and seeking answers. If you want to understand something about how our universe works, Logical Universe is a great place to start the journey.

“Michael's book Logical Universe is like a breath of fresh air as it opens a door to new possibilities for the future of our world. This book is a keeper meant to be read more than once in the coming years. Each time will trigger new inspiration that can be applied to many areas of our lives. Michael Jones is a visionary.”
-Linda D. Sajiw, Spiritual Consultant
“Michael Jones, through the theory of origo, has given us a new view of cosmological physics that allows the universe to be understood by the layman as well as the physicist.”
-James C. Poe Ph.D.
“I found Logical Universe very enlightening, educational, and even entertaining. My whole perspective on time has been altered. The ‘did you know’ and ‘Try this’ challenges at the end of the chapters, allow the reader to relate to and observe first hand the concepts being discussed. Great job!
All in all, everyone that reads this book will not only say ‘Oh, now I get it,’ they will enjoy the trip.”
