Description: Daniel Howitt reveals what the form of the structure of the universe is, and what the form of the content of the universe is, and how the prevailing accounts of these are inaccurate. Also revealed are the formal constraints on our ability to observe and conceive of what the structure and content of the universe are precisely. The novel observation of black light, and the supervening concept of black light, and the novel geometric analyses of what is geometrically necessary in order to observe and conceive of the intricacy of a geometric system, serve as the foundations of this conceptualization.
Review Quotes:
"The picture of the universe that is rendered is delightful."
--FREEMAN DYSON, Institute for Advanced Study, Physics, 2014
"Its central and very novel thesis is that Black Light exists, is Dark Energy, and is emitted by Dark Matter. ... If the world really is like that then this would be an earth-shattering discovery!"
--GEOFFREY COTTRELL, Oxford University, Department of Astrophysics, Visiting Scientist
"This work is a rarity of brilliant novel observation and ensuing brilliant novel theory in my career. Like Wittgenstein, this work with extreme acuity and compression, every word and sentence vital and chosen with extreme care, constructed and elaborated for great clarity, systematically constructs a system of observations and concepts. I've not seen a work akin to this since the Tractatus. These observations and thought are a Copernican Turn."
--JERRY BALMUTH, Harry Emerson Fosdick Professor of Philosophy Emeritus, Colgate University
"The book is highly original and provocative, as well as thoughtful, and rigorous."
--AMIR ALEXANDER, Professor of the History of Science at UCLA, Award Winning Author on Geometry
"The idea of "black light" does not fit into the current scientific understanding of light. It is an interesting proposal to expand human knowledge."
--SHI-WEI CHU, Professor, Department of Physics, National Taiwan University, expert in the fields of optical microscopy, optical spectroscopy, and laser physics.
"Howitt has done a thorough study . . . . Each reader will understand this complexity based on their own level of comprehension of the cosmos. This book will certainly stimulate discussion and become part of the competitive environment in the philosophy of cosmology with the goal of improving theories, concepts and models."
--OLEG BAZALUK, Editor-in-Chief, Philosophy and Cosmology
"This work could be called a philosophical-logical investigation into fundamental physics and cosmology. By its scope and profundity, Black Light deserves to be heard and examined. Its novel concepts may reform and broaden our present understanding of the universe and point us towards new scientific experiments that could verify and elaborate these concepts."
--LLOYD EBY, Ph.D. The George Washington University
