Principles of Evolution: A Study in the Evolution of Bedbugs
The Unified Field Theory is also available as an 'e-book' in zipfile format. Unified.zip
Introduction. A summary of the Unified Field Theory:The Pioneer Effect and the New Physics. A brief description of the new physics required to explain the 'Pioneer Effect', which is the constant deceleration of space craft as they fly through space.
A Unified Field Theory is not a mathematical construct, but rather what is important is that we can say 'I understand'. It is for this reason that my target audience is not 'scientists' but rather I intend to present the Unified Field Theory in such a way that it will be understood by 'everyone'. I introduce a few elementary concepts, followed by a new theory of gravitation which explains the gravitational force as being the result of the normal expected behavior of any electromagnetic field.
Important Note : This is a theory being developed live on the net, and so you will find my ideas evolving over time. Much of what I have written prior to January 28th has been discarded and the Unified Field Theory really began to develop with the piece on Archimedes principle. Please note that I have also been misusing the term 'dilation', up until January 30th, 2008. Until such a time as I can find the time to edit every page, please substitute the term 'contraction' for 'dilation', so that when I say that 'space is more dilated' what I mean to say is that 'space is more contracted'.
The Unified Atom
I have done about as much as I can do on the ‘macro-level’ and the answers to any remaining questions that I have must be found on the ‘micro-micro sub-atomic level’ since the answers must await the appearance of the ‘unified atom’. (How is energy transferred between closed energy systems? How is energy conserved?)
The unification of gravity and electromagnetism is pretty much complete, and it now remains to verify or refute the theory by validating or invalidating the experimental predictions made by this theory. Is temperature relative? Would a battery placed outside the space station, and at just below its orbital escape velocity, and equipped with a solar panel, rise in the gravitational field as the density of conserved energy increases? Will a fusion reaction result from placing hydrogen in a magnetic field and then ‘warping space’ to ‘blue shift’ the atomic wave function of the hydrogen atom? Will tin cans placed in space and given just a little momentum, coast briefly through space and then decelerate and then stop, mimicking the Pioneer effect, and definitively refuting Isaac Newton’s erroneous matter based physics, and refuting Einstein’s matter based theory of gravity, as well as proving that the speed of light is relative and not a fixed constant?
There are also a few experiments that could only be conducted on the moon (eliminating any problems caused by the earth’s atmosphere). According to the Unified Field Theory, a ‘lighter than air’ balloon released on the moon should promptly begin to rise at full velocity, without an acceleration curve (although there would be a small acceleration curve because of the need to provide lift to a piece of plastic and a length of string). This rising of a ‘lighter than air’ balloon on the moon would demonstrate that the rising of hydrogen or helium is not explained by some ‘mechanical’ or ‘physical’ explanation (after all the atmosphere is composed of gases that are ‘lighter’ or ‘heavier’ than the other components of the atmosphere). Actually, on the moon even a balloon filled with normal atmospheric gases should rise much like helium or hydrogen do on earth due to the much less ‘stretched’ energy field on the moon which leaves the orbital energy level of gases buried somewhere below the surface of the moon, thus causing all gases to become to dense to remain in orbit. (It would seem that such gases are found on the surface of the Moon and so this conclusion would be incorrect). Objects dropped onto the moon in the direction of its rotation should receive a boost from the rotating electric field of the moon (this might also explain the fly-by anomaly, making this lunar experiment redundant. The Galileo craft flew by earth twice, and once it experienced an unexplained boost in acceleration and the other time it did not.)
The rising of gases as an antigravity effect. It is interesting to note that gases do not rise or fall outside a gravitational field, an effect which requires an explanation. Columbus: Sky-high science, from the BBC site. "In an Earth laboratory, gravity pulls hard on everything; but in space, there is no "up" and "down" as such. When gases and liquids are heated, they don't rise and sink as they do at the planet's surface. Suspended particles don't settle out into neat layers like they would in an Earth river."
Since this unified field theory is a genuine scientific theory in that it can be refuted or proved by means of experimentation, I feel that enough has been done here, and I will now move on to investigating the atom, which means starting a new page, located here. The Unified Atom

Questioning the 'Dark Matter' Hypothesis. Magnetostriction, Spatial Dilation and the Blue Shifting of Light
A couple of years ago my bedroom was invaded by bedbugs. There were two variant genetic lines. One type of bedbug was an enlongated, thin, tubular insect, and the second genetic line was a flat, perfectly circular insect. The result of the cross breeding of these two genetically distinct variants was the production of a bedbug with charcteristics of both, an enlongated, flat bedbug with a central bulge (such that the shape of the bedbug was somewhere between 'long' and 'circular'). The long skinny bedbugs were such strange and unfamiliar looking insects that at first I did not recognize them as being bedbugs, and considered them to be a seperate species of insect. However, as the photographs of bedbugs above indicate, enlongated and skinny bedbugs are not uncommon, and the photographs also show the variants that are produced by genetic combinations that result in an insect somewhere in between 'circular' and 'enlongated'.
Therefore it is my hypothesis that evolution occurs by means of the transfer of dominate genes, with the production of such dominant genes being the product of 'biological algorithms', a genetic software program that brings physical characteristics into harmony with behavior, such that when behavior changes, and a conflict then exists, this acts as a trigger and causes the release of dominant genes. The result is rapid evolution of species. The bedbug is a relatively new insect, not the product of millions of years of evolution but rather an insect that is evolving in real time. The newly emerging dominant form of the insect is the flat, round ciruclar insect, well adapted to living in human bedrooms (it is flat, rather than tubular, thus allowing it to hide in the smallest cracks, living a stealthy lifestyle, and it is round, which gives the insect a maximum storage capacity such that it must endanger itself only a few times a month by emerging to feed.
Other examples of rapid evolution include the development of long legs in an invasive species of toad in Australia. As the toads move into the mountainous regions of Australia, and their behvaior changes, making them 'climbing toads', over the course of just a couple of decades the toads in the highlands have grown long legs specially adapted to climbing. It is worth noting here that the toads are poisonous, and are a successful invasive species because they have no natural predators in Australia, and so it would not be the case that the toads with long legs were 'the fittest survivors', because all the toads are survivors, and therefore predation does not explain the rapid emergence and spread of such well adapted, long legged toads. Once again we see evidence for the existence of biological algorithms and the rapid spread of dominant genes through a population, which once introduced proceed to overwhelm the older genes which are being replaced (making toad long legged and a bed bug round and flat).
