THE NEW THEORY OF EVERYTHING
In this hundredth anniversary of Einsteins famous 1905 paper
on relativity
theory it is timely that a new theory created by Myron W. Evans
has achieved
what Einstein only dreamed. Evans has founded his Covariant Field
Theory on
differential geometry just as Dirac created his quantum mechanics
based on
projective geometry.
His theory has advanced and given new insights into the discoveries
of Faraday,
Maxwell, Bohr, Heisenberg, Schroedinger, Dirac, and Einstein. The
wonderful
theories of the past are contained as limiting cases in the new
theory, but with
startling predictions of new phenomena of epic proportions.
In recognition of Evans scientific achievements the Queen
of England has
bestowed upon him the Civil List Pension. Two previous scientists
who received
this award are Michael Faraday, (1797 - 1867), and James Prescott
Joule, (1818 -
1889). Evans is the only living scientist with this honor. He will
be honored at
the Queens Garden Party July 14, 2005.
Two books explaining this new theory will be published later this
year. One by
Evans Generally Covariant Unified Field Theory: The Geometrization
of Physics
is highly technical and aimed at the advanced theoretical physicist.
The other,
by Laurence G. Felker . Entitled The Evans Equations of Unified
Field Theory,
is intended for serious laymen interested in science. Book preprint
versions of
these can be found at www.aias.us.
Insights into the epic magnitude of this new theory for the 21st
Century can be
gleaned from the quotations by scientists found a few screens down
on the above
website. One, in particular is worth noting, is by Prof. Dr. Bo
Lehnert a member
of the Royal Swedish Academy of Science and presumably a member
of the
nominating committee for the Nobel Prize in Physics and Chemistry.

Dear Professor Hart,
Thank you very much for pointing out to me these references.
As the subject area
of these books is in my domain of expertise, I will certainly
like to critically
review them.
I will be putting my review on internet, so that it will be available
for all
interested.
I wish to present you with my very best regards,
Arkadiusz Jadczyk
To which prof Hart replied:
Professor Jadczyk,
The two books about Myron W. Evans' Generally Covariant Unified
Field Theory
(GCUFT) are available on the website: www.aias.us.
Respectfully,
John B. Hart
So far so good, you would think.... But not quite. The point
is that Myron Evans is hostile towards Waldyr Rodrigues, and
I am a friend of Waldyr. Therefore, according to Myron,
I cannot possibly be "scientific".
Indeed I am a friend of Waldyr, and I am not the only one.
Last month there was the 7th
International Clifford Algebra Conference, held at the University
of Paul Sabatier in Toulouse, France or, more precisely at "SUPAREO"
- l'École Nationale Supérieure de l'Aéronautique
et de l'Espace. There were about 150 participants and
over 100 talks. I was on the organizing committee, and together
with Pierre Angles we will be now working on the publication
of the proceedings by the well known publisher of mathematical
books - Springer-Birkhauser.
Waldyr Rodrigues, due to his knowledge and experience , was
in the Advisory Committee, and he was also an invited plenary
speaker in the domain of Mathematical Physics. On May 26, 2005,
he gave an interesting
lecture: Hidden consequence of active Lorentz invariance
. Moreover, a General Assembly, over 100 mathematicians, theoretical
physicists and engineers working in the area of Clifford Algebras,
on May 27, 2005, voted to have Waldyr Rodrigues as the organizer
of the next ICCA8 conference in Brazil. Therefore
any idiosyncracy that Myron can have towards Waldyr, is not
shared by the "Cliffordian community".
Now, the fact that I am a friend of Waldyr does not mean that
I am not able able to critically read his papers. We have had
long email exchanges in the past and I was pointing out to Waldyr
what I considered being weak points in his arguments in some
of his publictions. Sometimes I was right, sometimes he was
right. We plan to write a paper together. Whether our plan will
bring fruit, and what kind of fruit - the future will show.
There is nothing wrong with writing wrong papers - provided
the errors can be found and corrected - by the author or by
others. Yesterday I was reading Chevalley's "The algebraic
theory of spinors" - volume two of his collected works.
In the introduction, written by Pierre Cartier and Catherine
Chevalley, we read how Chevalley resisted the idea of publishing
his collected works:
"[...] Chevelley's second wish had to do with some out-of-date
features, and also typographical defects, of his mathematical
papers: "As for the mathematical papers, I know that
some of them contain statements which are either false or
at. least inaccurate, and I do not see the interest of publishing
statements of theorems which might be misleading to the reader.
Of course, this drawback might be erased by the insertion
of appropriate note ; the trouble is that these papers bear
upon matters on which I have not thought for a long time,
and that it would mean a large amount of work to check every
sentence of them, a work which I do not particularly wish
to undertake myself, and a pensum that I would not like to
inflict upon to anybody else." So described, the logic
of the situation would have led directly to to the abandonment
of the very project of publishing the Works if various people
had not generously agreed to devote some of their time to
the above mentioned task of proof-reading. [...]"
Perhaps we all, including Myron Evans, can learn something
from the above?
I also used to have email exchanges with Jack Sarfatti - more
often than not my comments about his writings were critical.
For instance a trace of my discussion of Jack's affirmation
of Shipov can be found here: http://www.newsgroops.org/group/sci.math/article-545898.html.
And in my notes
on Shipov I wrote it explicitly:
"I have been busy writing pages on Shipov's torsion.
They are not yet finished. They are being written to answer
questions from Bill Page. Again Jack Sarfatti is promoting
a theory that is false! Get Notes on Shipov in pdf
format"
I admire the Chronostalker, author of the blog: "Open
System for Geniuses" - who is mercilessly analyzing
the content of selected papers in the area of mathematical physics.
Perhaps Chronostalker will take apart Myron's or my own papers
one day!
These introductory comments above are necessary.
The point is that in science we can't get to the TRUTH without
an open, critical discussion. Whether I am smoking a pipe or
cigars, or not smoking at all, whether I play piano or a violin
or a tambourine, whether I read about UFOs or about mysterious
cases solved by Sherlock holmes, whether I am interested in
history or in a philosophy - all that has no relation whatsoever
to the quality of my scientific works. Every work should be
judged by its merits, by logical analysis of the data. Clifford
for instance was interested not only in mathematics, but also
in the philosophy of mind. He left interesting ideas in this
respect, and I mentioned possible ways of developing Clifford's
ideas into a rigorous mathematics in my plenary talk at ICCA7.
What is important in science more than anything else is an open
critical discussion. The same applies to my own works. I may
be wrong or I may be right. Therefore I welcome all critical
comments about the content of my papers. I hope that
one day Myron will understand such a need!

Part 2
While I was busy with working on my own paper summarizing my
contribution to the Clifford Algebra Conference ICCA7, to my
surprise I discovered that on the blog "Open
System for Geniuses" a report
has appeared there:
http://opensys.blogsome.com/2005/07/01/generally-covariant-unified-field-theory-myron-w-evans/
analysing in excruciating details the first chapter of Myron's
"General Covariant Unified Field Theory". After reading
this report and after comparing it - line by line - with the
original material in the book, I could only agree with Chronostalker.
Therefore I am not in a hurry any more. I can relax. I can wait
with my own critical comments until the author, Myron W. Evans,
corrects all these shamefully elementary errors in the first
chapter. There is no point of reading the book until the author
takes proofreading seriously ....
