Astrophysics; Space science

Imagination and science take flight in this new description of our three dimensional universe. The old physics of equations and non-answers is replaced with mechanisms that explain reality. The fundamental particle of matter is modeled and mechanisms for the properties of matter emerge. Our journey takes the reader from a description of matter to the birth and death of our universe. The story delivers a visual explanation for the mechanisms that make our universe work. Charge, inertial mass, gravity and the Double Slit experiment are explained as never before. This new theory of matter generates novel interpretations for cosmological observations. Direct English is used with macro world analogues and visual images to describe natural phenomena. Our universe becomes comprehensible when the dance of matter and energy is for a first time explained. Dark energy, dark matter and the measurement problem are explained. Courage is a requisite for looking deeply into our universe but there is grandeur in this view.

Robert Kirby began his journey in the Eastern Townships of Quebec Canada. He left the Appalachian Mountains where his ancestors had ploughed the black soil and made babies for two centuries. In the largest cities of Canada he became a student then a scientist and a Molecular Modeller in the Pharmaceutical Industry. Having modeled atoms, molecules and biopolymers the fundamental particle of matter became the next logical target. Modeling matter leads naturally to the modeling of our universe.
