Relativity+ : The Theory of Everything is a 2009 book by the independent physicist and author John Duffield, subtitled "Basic Concepts to Einstein's Geometrical Dream." It presents Duffield's own interpretation of relativity and an attempt at a unifying "theory of everything," and is described by its listing as richly illustrated with colour and black-and-white figures.
RELATIVITY+ is an analysis of the 'basic concepts' relating to the individual terms within equations such as E=mc². After an introductory preamble spanning the history of relativity, money, and belief, the book follows a logical progression to offer explanations of the fundamental nature of energy, mass, and charge before moving on to time, gravity, and space. Subsequent chapters touch on Newton, Faraday, Maxwell and Weyl, and then discuss the topology of particles, the quantum of quantum mechanics, the fine structure constant, the standard model, and the unification of the forces. The focus then shifts to cosmology, speculating on the universe, dark energy, dark matter, inflation, black holes, and the big bang, before concluding with an outline 'unified model' followed by acknowledgements, references, and figures.
About the author
John Duffield is an unaffiliated ("amateur") physicist and writer on physics. In Relativity+ he argues for a re-examination of the basic concepts underlying modern physics rather than of its mathematics, working from the individual terms of standard equations toward a single unified picture.
