The New Theory of Everything

Yesterday (June 22, 2005) I received an email from Prof. John B. Hart - From : USA, Ohio.

As there was nothing personal in this email, except that prof Hart visited my website and used a form there to send me the message, I guess it is probably part of a more general advertising campaign. Here is the text that came.

THE NEW THEORY OF EVERYTHING

In this hundredth anniversary of Einstein’s 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 Queen’s 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 ....
