The All is Nothingness

About the Book

‘This book examines the basis of mankind’s conception of what “Reality” really is, in terms of the crucial differences between what man sees as ‘ Nothing’, and the positive construct of ‘Nothingness’. Shura, the son of a well-respected Russian Particle Physicist, describes his father’s life-long ambition to quantify the very basis of ‘The All’, the creative entity. He recalls some of his fondest memories of his conversations with his father, and the desperate anger of his words, “There is nothing, bloody nothing, those particles just suddenly appear from nowhere, instantly annihilate themselves, and then disappear back into nothingness.” His father a particle physicist, cosmologist, and a philosopher, firmly believed in a creating entity, he termed ‘The All’, yet he had little time for faith in a religious divine god. The empty space time, within a Quantum vacuum, in which virtual particles appeared and disappeared, seemingly out of nowhere, was not at all the same as the philosophical concept of nothing. It was a very real sensation in the human brain. The book traces his father’s life long research in particle physics, and records the many varied views and hypothesis to explain the act of creation. We are taken on a step by step account of his father’s unbelievable world of particles, anti-particles, and of matter which exists only by virtue of an invisible force, found in the ‘Nothingness’ of the oscillating Quarks, within the Protons empty space. Convinced he could prove the existence of ‘god’s backyard’ location, he undertook a life-long study of the amazing world of virtual particles.
