The intention of this work is to inform the non-specialist and the curious, who are intrigued by finding deeper understandings of our existence. With a clear, easily comprehensible and non-technical language, Universal Theory invites the layperson to join in the most exciting non-fictional adventure. It also welcomes the scientists who have reached roadblocks in their investigations and are willing to take a leap into the unexplored and often avoided areas of study. Universal Theory follows quantum mechanics' lead to challenge the boundaries between known physics and the unknown realm. "A new way of thinking or change in perspective may be needed to achieve a Theory of Everything and a true understanding of reality. Mohsen Kermanshashi has done an outstanding job in providing that new insight. Universal Theory is clearly written, thought-provoking, and fun to read. Highly recommended."

Deng Feng Wang was born February 8, 1965 in Chongqing City, China and died August 15, 1999 while swimming with friends in the Atlantic Ocean off Island Beach State Park, New Jersey. In his brief life, he was to have an influence far beyond his years. On August 12th 2000, The Deng Feng Wang Memorial Conference was held at his alma mater, Princeton University, during which Deng Feng's mentors, collaborators and friends presented scientific talks in a testimonial to his tremendous influence on their work and careers. The first part of this volume contains proceedings contributions from the conference, with plenary talks by Nobel Laureate Professor Phil Anderson of Princeton University and leading Condensed Matter Theorists Professor Piers Coleman of Rutgers University and Professor Christian Gruber of the University of Lausanne. Other talks, given by collaborators, friends and classmates testify to the great breadth of Deng Feng Wang's influence, with remarkable connections shown between seemingly unrelated areas in physics such as Condensed Matter Physics, Superconductivity, One-Dimensional Models, Statistical Physics, Mathematical Physics, Quantum Field Theory, High Energy Theory, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Supersymmetry, M-Theory and String Theory, in addition to such varied fields outside of physics such as Oil Drilling, Mixed Signal Circuits and Neurology. The second part of the volume consists of reprints of some of Deng Feng Wang's most important papers in the areas of Condensed Matter Physics, Statistical Physics, Magnetism, Mathematical Physics and Mathematical Finance. This volume represents a fascinating synthesis of a wide variety of topics, and ultimately points to the universality of physics and of science as a whole. As such, it represents a fitting tribute to a remarkable individual, whose tragic death will never erase his enduring influence.

This is a study of universality. The theory of universality uses fractal patterns to explain much of the world around us. Moreover, universality argues that there are similar patterns behind the most unpredictable events such as earthquakes, avalanches and stock market crashes.

From Aristotle's Physics to quantum teleportation, learn about the scientific pursuit of instantaneous connections in this insightful examination of our world. For millennia, scientists have puzzled over a simple question: Does the universe have a speed limit? If not, some effects could happen at the same instant as the actions that caused them -- and some effects, ludicrously, might even happen before their causes. By one hundred years ago, it seemed clear that the speed of light was the fastest possible speed. Causality was safe. And then quantum mechanics happened, introducing spooky connections that seemed to circumvent the law of cause and effect. Inspired by the new physics, psychologist Carl Jung and physicist Wolfgang Pauli explored a concept called synchronicity, a weird phenomenon they thought could link events without causes. Synchronicity tells that sprawling tale of insight and creativity, and asks where these ideas -- some plain crazy, and others crazy powerful -- are taking the human story next.

Nature provides many examples of physical systems that are described by deterministic equations of motion, but that nevertheless exhibit nonpredictable behavior. The detailed description of turbulent motions remains perhaps the outstanding unsolved problem of classical physics. In recent years, however, a new theory has been formulated that succeeds in making quantitative predictions describing certain transitions to turbulence. Its significance lies in its possible application to large classes (often very dissimilar) of nonlinear systems. Since the publication of Universality in Chaos in 1984, progress has continued to be made in our understanding of nonlinear dynamical systems and chaos. This second edition extends the collection of articles to cover recent developments in the field, including the use of statistical mechanics techniques in the study of strange sets arising in dynamics. It concentrates on the universal aspects of chaotic motions, the qualitative and quantitative predictions that apply to large classes of physical systems. Much like the previous edition, this book will be an indispensable reference for researchers and graduate students interested in chaotic dynamics in the physical, biological, and mathematical sciences as well as engineering.

Right from the very first pages of its prologue, "The Universal Physics Theory (Third edition)" hurls you into a mind struggle between what you were told were scientific facts and the paradoxes they bear. "Nature is what it is;" Launier says, "it is not a question of choice or point of view."As a card-carrying skeptic, the author questions everything: from simple equations to entire theoretical concepts. He is adamant for the truth, dogged to logic and commonsense. While most physicists attempt to synthesize the quantum-relativistic unification, and others strive to surpass Einstein's boldness with increasingly off-the-wall metaphysical propositions, Launier goes digging into history in search for the broken link where physics and logic drifted apart. What he discovered will shock you...! The many paradoxes and incongruities, which plague modern physics, now become explicable. It is no wonder that physicists believe that: "As we enter the microworld, logic no longer applies." It is not logic that does not apply, but rather our flawed institutions!In astute settings, Launier sets the pace with a disquieting assessment of Young's concept of energy, "force per displacement" as he compares it against the conservation of energy law and the three laws of motion. He is thorough! His arrays of proofs are unsettling, to say the least! What is more disturbing yet, is that it also proves, by the same token, that "e" is NOT equal to mc ; not even close...!The author then takes you back into history reinvestigating the experiment which incited Einstein in developing his special theory of relativity. He is not satisfied at exposing the guilefulness of the doctrine's foundation; he goes beyond and scrutinizes its concepts and equations. You will discover a trait of Einstein's character hitherto never disclosed. And this is merely the beginning of the book; we have another 19 chapters of controversies and resolves thereof to go.Launier does not try to baffle you with startling ideas and complex mathematics; on the contrary, his simple English style and no acronyms approach, backed up with plenty of illustrations and everyday examples, makes for "The Universal Physics Theory" (Third edition) a comfortable read even for the layman. But make no mistake; it is yet generating unprecedented repercussions.The "Universal Physics Theory (Third edition)" is, by far, the most controversial treatise ever written on physics. It calls into question the entire structure of the edifice. Not only does Launier expose the flawed foundations, he clearly and explicitly details their origins, where they went wrong, and how to make them right. "Our quest for a 'Grand Unified Theory' was no more than a deceit which stemmed from misleading institutions" says Launier.
