Exceptional Meta-level Model of Physics and Cosmology, December 17, 2012 By  Justin Coven, Ph.D.See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What’s this?

When I delved in depth into the authors book “Secrets of Antigravity Propulsion” I had to do a double take. For within that book, Dr. Laviolette introduced Subquantum Kinetics as the physics that underlies the anomalous antigravity phenomenon seen in a multitude of experiments over the last hundred plus years. It was not that Subquantum Kinetics could be used to model antigravity that was overwhelmingly intriguing. It was that Subquantum Kinetics is a reinterpretation of the broader Physics and Cosmology which was mind blowing. For within his book “Subquantum Kinetics: A Systems Approach to Physics and Cosmology”, where Subquantum Kinetics is explained in more detail, approximately five dozen different advantages of Subquantum Kinetics are provided over the current model of Physics and Cosmology (see pages 295-307 and the authors website starburstfound.org, which includes 30 comparisons and 27 predictions for a total of 57 advantages).

While I have only completed the first seven chapters of the Antigravity book and the first six and a half chapters of the Subquantum Kinetics book, it is clear that Dr. Laviolette has been very detailed and accurate in his analysis. This text is not for the non-technical, it should be treated as a second or third year college level (or graduate level) science textbook. Dr. Laviolette references many journal articles, experiments, data, and patents throughout his works and shows how all of the data and analysis fits together.

More importantly Dr. Laviolette asks the bigger questions of what properties our computational models of the underlying medium of the universe could potentially contain and what the implications would be in the larger physics and cosmology models. Dr. Laviolette makes numerous references to similar discussions by many of the luminaries of Physics and Cosmology from the last century and how his model correlates with their thinking.

My own expertise is in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence. In particular, systems that reason about themselves which is often called meta-level reasoning, for an additional computational “level”, called the “meta-level”, is built to reason about the normal computational levels.

This text is exceptional because Dr. Laviolette asks the big (meta-level) questions of the underlying properties of physics and does significant analysis at the meta-level. This includes both the references to similar discussions in the last century as well as the five dozen advantages of Subquantum Kinetics over the current model.

I am still scratching my head on why Subquantum Kinetics is not being taught in schools and why Dr. Laviolette is not famous. It has been eighteen years since Dr. Laviolette first published this book (and twenty-nine years since he first presented his idea in his dissertation). Admittedly Kuhn (“The Structure of Scientific Revolutions”) has shown that scientific revolutions are slow in coming. Einstein was a 3rd grade patent clerk and did not get an academic position until about eight years after his publication of relativity. Darwin was a amateur who never had and academic position.

While I do not have a breadth-depth knowledge in the fields of Physics and Cosmology, many of the five dozen advantages of Subquantum Kinetics are easily understood and are obvious. For example, any computational model should cover as much data as possible without obvious gaps. As examples of computational gaps both the Big Bang and Black Holes theories are examples of where the current model breaks down. Subquantum Kinetics does not have these weaknesses.

What is Subquantum Kinetics?

Subquantum Kinetics goes beyond the current model of physics and delves into the level below what is currently measurable. It looks at the layer of physics below the quantum level. Dr. Laviolette asks the question of what can be deduced at the subquantum level even though we cannot measure anything at that level. He appropriately starts with basic property assumptions of a subquantum layer that correlate with properties that are seen at other layers of the universe. This includes a medium composed of elements with particle like properties that is open. Using these basic components he then deduces how these elements operate so that the known higher levels of Physics and Cosmology arise. Most importantly, using this model he has been able to make 27 predictions that have been verified. So either his deductions are on the nose or very close to being so.

Subquantum Kinetics is so exceptional because it dares to tread in the level of the subquantum! Whether or not Dr. Laviolette’s model is on the nose, working to understand the subquantum level is an important endeavor. Thus, “Subquantum Kinteics: A Systems Approach to Physics and Cosmology” is without question a revolutionary and world class work.

While "Subquantum Kinetics" is a pure science text, "Secrets of Antigravity Propulsion" is hard nosed engineering integrated with speculation. Neither is for the faint of heart, both should be treated as college level textbooks. However, because of the speculation in "Secrets of Antigravity Propulsion" is should be treated differently than Subquantum Kinetics which is pure science.

Ways to improve the book:
1) More detail should be provided for sections 2.9.6, 3.3 and 3.4. The flow of reasoning is a bit quick for the non-physicist. In particular section 3.4 should be significantly extended as this is the heart of the magic of Subquantum Kinetics. At minimum a significant appendix should be provided for this section as it is of extreme interest.
2) Table 11 and Appendix A should be extended to include more references and additional detail. As with section 3.4 this is an exceptionally interesting part of Dr. Laviolette's erudition and deserves more flushing out.
3) An analysis of how a standard modern physics textbook would need to be modified to incorporate Subquantum Kinetics would be of use to help readers better understand the full impact of Subquantum Kinetics.

Subquantum Kinetics helps to explain the way the universe really functions., January 18, 2015 By  Greg M.See all my reviews

I have read “Genesis of the Cosmos”, “Secrets of Antigravity Propulsion” and most recently “Subquantum Kinetics”. I am a retired engineer and I have done technical writing for part of my career. I have to admire the amount of detail and research that Dr. LaViolette puts into his books. He is able to explain complex and controversial issues in a way that most lay readers will understand. His theory definitely unifies and explains many issues currently unresolved by present day physics. It parallels the work of other forward thinking individuals such as Stoyan Sarg, Konstatin Meyl, and Nicolai Tesla. I can envision a computerized simulation of this model that could not only verify the validity of this theory, but be used in actual developmental research. More 3D simulation should be done on powerful mainframes. This should happen as soon as possible.

Seems like this could indeed be close to a workable Unified Field Theory, November 28, 2013 By  trendsetter37See all my reviews

Great and insightful book. Dr. Laviolette does a good job of connecting the dots that some mainstream scientist are afraid to ponder.
