    About this ebook

    What is the cause of gravity? Why is our universe expanding? What is the true nature of physical reality? These are just some of the fundamental questions that physics currently cannot answer. As a science, physics treats our universe as if it were a collection of parts that can be interpreted as if they were independent wholes. As a consequence physics has evolved into a collection of fragmented ideas and mathematical theories which appear to be successful at quantifying the parts, but generally unsuccessful at explaining how the parts connect with other parts within the whole. In Gravity & Beyond, the author presents a framework which explains why gravity is experienced as a force and observed as a distortion within the fabric of space-time; a framework that can explain all know gravitational effects and why our universe appears to be expanding. The concept is baed upon a holistic philosophy that treats the parts of the universe as different expressions of the whole. In other words, the belief that everything connects with everything else. And the key to understanding this at the macro-scale is: gravity.

      Whenever you say anything about your daily life, a scale is implied. Try it out. “I’m too busy” only works for an assumed time scale: today, for example, or this week. Not this century or this nanosecond. “Taxes are onerous” only makes sense for a ce
