Biography
BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF "COSMOLOGY ON TRIAL"
Cosmology On Trial is an all-inclusive cosmology journal introducing the reader to many unexplained and unsolved mysteries of the universe.
The book reveals that Newtonian physics, General Relativity, Quantum Mechanics, and String Theory have still not proven whether Gravity is a wave, a graviton particle, or even a fabric of spacetime.
Gravity is not even included in the Standard Model of Physics although it is ubiquitous.
The May/2014 issue of "Scientific American" highlighted a major calamity:
• theorists working in particle physics admit they’re in a state of “confusion”
• there is “widespread panic” that particle physicists may be barking up the wrong tree
• Science periodicals, forums, and blog posts suggest revising fundamental principles to resolve the “crisis in physics”
QUOTES FROM PHYSICISTS:
“Theoretical physics is at a crossroads right now…In a sense we’ve entered a very deep crisis.” Dr. Neil Turok – Director of the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics
Renowned physicist and bestselling author, Dr. Lee Smolin, is pushing for a new paradigm in astrophysics:
“We need to make a clean break and embark on a search for a new kind of theory that can be applied to the whole universe – a theory that avoids the confusions and paradoxes, answers the unanswerable questions, and generates genuine physical predictions for cosmological observations.”
REVIEWS:
“If you are interested in coming to grips with just what science knows and does not know about the universe then this book is for you.” A. Brennan – Australia
“This book simply makes the very strong point that our cosmology of yesteryear was not based on solid evidence, and our cosmology of today isn't either.” V. DiCara – Japan
"Cosmology On Trial" examines the case for the origin of the universe like an attorney in a court of law:
• Major physicists like Stephen Hawking have to defend the basis for their theories
• The evidence must be beyond reasonable doubt; similar to the rationale for a jury to decide a case
Physicists still do not fully understand Gravity, the most common force in nature.
Even NASA physicists admit that 96% of the matter and energy in the universe is a mystery.
Can today’s cosmology be complete if science only understands 4% of the universe?
Bestselling author Pierre St Clair explains the current crisis in physics:
• What science really knows about the universe and the one issue that is never studied
• The most important initiative in physics which scientists ignore
• The five biggest myths of cosmology that are not supported by observation or data
PERSONAL BIO:
I was born in London although my family sailed away to Canada when I was five years old.
My mother was a cultured lady who sent me for violin and music theory lessons when I was only six. But, as soon as I became a teenager, I began to lose interest in the violin and bought my first guitar.
I taught myself how to play and quickly switched to a Fender Telecaster. Before long, I formed my first band and played locally. Within a few years I was gigging in various rock bands around the country.
Music has always been my first love, and still is.
I didn't start out as a writer but the mother of my college girlfriend predicted it.
One Saturday afternoon, she was describing how her father was a missionary in Shanghai before World War II. As a girl in China she had studied palmistry, so she asked to see my hand. After a few minutes study she pronounced that I had a talent for writing.
"One day you will become a writer," she predicted.
Years passed before that writing talent manifested. But gradually my interest in writing, and especially research, increased. I loved digging behind the scenes to find out what was really happening beneath the headlines. That's how I became an investigative journalist.
Now if you really like heartfelt blues/rock music, that's also where I feel very much at home. Almost all the music I listened to as a kid was from blues and soul singers, until the Beatles came along that is. But then, they also used to listen to those same soul singers when they were kids!
QUOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:
" Current ideas about the origin of the universe lack verifiable data. In spite of this, many ideas masquerade as relevant theories and compete for greater elegance just like beauty pageant contestants."
“Scientific progress and complacency go ill together, and St Clair has done a superb job in actually advancing the cause of real science.” M. Lyons – USA
