Myhre attempts to rewrite physics as we know it in this new treatise. Central to his ideas are the elimination of many of the long-held physical constants of nature (such as the Planck constant, h), which he says have no basis in nature and are a result of the inappropriate application of metric units to describe quantum phenomena. Myhre constructs a simplified system to describe quantum physics as a whole, which clarifies many longstanding mysteries and presents a truer vision of the universe--one that's more rational, symmetrical, and logical than science has previously suggested. He manages to pack a surprising amount of personality into the prose between equations. The material is dense and highly specialized, but it's an easier read than it had to be. The book documents a quest on the frontiers of physics, proving how much we don't yet know. Lay scientists with an interest in quantum physics are unlikely to find as enthusiastic a guide as Myhre. A challenging but illuminating scientific text. KIRKUS REVIEW This treatise is an innovative, challenging piece that not only presents Guy Cavet Myhre's original research and scientific discoveries to improve on the rudiments of modern scientific belief but represents a powerful test of conventional methodology and paradigms, resolving many modern scientific enigmas even as it challenges modern scientific processes. Myhre presents rational solutions to previously unexplained irrational phenomena that can't be explained by current scientific paradigms. One primary discovery is that accepted fundamental universal physical constants of nature actually do not exist in nature but only in flawed mathematical expressions attributable to metric units of measure, which fail when applied to quantum phenomena. Each section is backed by equations, hypothetical experiments showing how the new values are determined, experiments that illustrate the impact of changing the magnitudes of action values and arguments, and comparisons between the quantum attributes of various units and historical values. The result is a calculated revision of physics based upon the most comprehensive improvements in the basic foundation of science since the invention of the metric system. Although dense and very specialized, Science Foundation Revolution demands a re-assessment of basic tenets of physics and ground-breaking implications for scientific perceptions, theories, and processes as a whole. It should not be lightly dismissed. DONOVAN'S LITERARY SERVICES

Author Information

The author was born and raised in the American Midwest during the Great Depression. Educated in good public schools, he graduated from Fairbanks High School and studied at the University of Alaska in its civil-engineering program. During that time, he wondered why most of the so-called fundamental universal physical constants of nature are multidimensional with irrational values. Upon the Korean-War armistice, his inquiries into the physical constants were delayed when he became a pilot in the USAF, stationed in France. While flying, he wondered about the origin of the powerful G forces. When he left the USAF, he married Annick, the daughter of an innkeeper in Normandy, and remained there to raise three sons. He became a chef de cuisine and, with his wife, eventually managed the inn-L'Auberge du Saint Aquilin. Its restaurant was the finest midway between Paris and the luxurious English-channel resorts of Deauville and Trouville-the Parisian Riviera . When the new Autoroute de Normandie bypassed the inn, sales plummeted, so he returned to America with his family. He created the Reef restaurant in the resort bordering on the Atlantic Ocean in Vero Beach, Florida but shortly returned to Seattle to take advantage of the GI bill. He obtained a BSEE and an MBA from the University of Washington. While a student, he reprised his inquiries into the physical constants and inertial force to finally discover important new information about them, which he presents in this and previous writings. After selling the Normandy inn, Annick and he created Annique's, a deluxe French restaurant in downtown Seattle, which they sold years later. His other work over the decades was as the camp manager of various remote construction sites in Africa and Alaska. He was a computer instructor at various community colleges and then an assistant professor of computer systems technology at Memphis State University and an assistant professor of computer science at Western Washington University in Bellingham. Before retiring, he was a technical writer, an editor, and finally the manager of the publications department of Anacomp, Inc. an electronic document-storage and -retrieval systems company in San Diego. He created English and French user manuals for those systems. Annick, his wife for a half century, finally succumbed to tobacco-related lung cancer, which was caused by working for decades in her smoke-filled restaurant dining rooms-she, herself, never smoked! Author's oldest son, who also designed the cover for the author's novel, The Fetal Issue.
