About the Book

The conventional interpretation of modern physics is difficult to comprehend because it is not consistent with our sense based paradigm for physical reality (i.e., common sense). For example, the conventional interpretation of special relativity assumes time travel to the past is possible, while it is obviously not possible according to our common sense paradigm. In Physical Reality and Common Sense, John Bell’s preferred frame interpretation of special relativity and quantum mechanics, supported by the now known structure of the universe, is used to construct an entirely new description of physical reality that will change the very foundations of modern physics.


About the Author

Walt Edwards holds a physics degree from the California Institute of Technology. In his career as a digital systems engineer, he has designed many computer implemented mathematical models for navigation and electronic warfare systems among others. This experience has given him an excellent understanding of the problems associated with developing mathematical models of physical processes in the external world. Physical Reality and Common Sense is the result of his interest in comprehending the physical reality defined by the mathematical models of relativity and quantum mechanics. He has four children and lives in Orange County California with his wife Bette.
