Great Read—Zeno's Theory

A Great and Important Read!

     Zeno’s Theory, by Tom Higgins takes What the Bleep? to the next level of understanding.

     Sometimes you just click with people and feel like you have a lot in common—that was the case for me when I met Tom Higgins. We were riding Harleys with a group of friends and took several road trips together over a several year period. On one trip we were both writing books so that certainly gave us some common ground. One thing led to another and he allowed me to read the draft of his book, Zeno’s Theory. From the first time I read it I saw it as a play on film and I still do—perhaps we can make that happen someday. It would call for some really good computer graphics to give a visual sense of the concepts being presented. I’m just putting that out to the Universe and we shall see what happens!

     Tom is a pretty much an All American Guy in lifestyle and history but he has a quality that makes people very interesting in my opinion—a true passion for something worthwhile. This book is important and right in line with The New Era Time’s effort to bridge the gap between science and spirit.

     When I say All American Guy I really mean it in this case because Tom grew up a “Navy Brat” whose family moved around a lot but he still managed to excel in sports from being on the 1970 State Champ Little League team to high school MVP in soccer and even played Rugby in England of all things with the Austin Rugby Club. He has run triathlons and ridden motocross.

     When I asked Tom to tell me about why he wrote this book here is what he said:

     Zeno’s Theory came about as a result of my frustration with our current understanding (or lack thereof) of our universe. You do not have to look very deeply into why things are the way they are, before the explanations fall apart. Quantum physics and other new theories make no sense to me. They seem so contrived and fictitious, and not really based on fact: they simply try to attribute their explanations to something so small, or something so inconceivable, that it cannot be disproven. This, to me, is unacceptable. Just because something can’t be disproven does not mean it is true. So it was for the long-standing theory that the earth was the center of the universe. As it is for quantum physics. As it is for religious beliefs.

After searching for better answers, by reading books and watching documentaries about the universe, I began to realize that much of what was presented was just speculation—searching for better answers. These books and documentaries always ended with more questions. 'Maybe if we go deeper into space, we can find the answers' or 'maybe if we break the atom into smaller pieces, we can find the answers'. I didn’t see how that could shed more light than we already have. I don’t want more questions: I want answers. I believed that we have all the information we need to figure it out. I set out to do it myself, because clearly, science wasn’t on the right path. It’s like when you do a crossword puzzle and you place a wrong word in one of the spaces. You end up trying to build off that word, but it will never allow you to complete the puzzle until you go back and put the right word into the space. I believe my new theory does just that. It explains so many things. I believe it will allow science to “finish the crossword puzzle.

     More than one book I read said that if you want to know something, ask for it, then keep an open mind and pay attention. The answer will be given to you. You just need to recognize it when you see it. I applied that exercise years ago when I began my personal search for the answers of the universe. Zeno’s Theory is the result.

     My first epiphany came when I realized that the only possible way for the entire universe to evolve from absolutely nothing, is for nothing to split into equal portions of matter and antimatter. That way, “nothing” is preserved: When you add equal portions of matter and antimatter together, you get nothing.

     The next epiphany was that antimatter is no great mystery. Antimatter is what we know as electrons. There is no need to break atoms into smaller pieces because the answer is right in front of us:

Electrons are the smallest indivisible particle. Then, when you factor in the concept of freelectrons: free floating electrons that fill the voids of space, it accounts for the missing matter or dark matter that science has been looking for. Freelectrons provide answers to many of the great mysteries of the universe. It is simple. It is observable. It explains everything from quantum physics to Religion. And, it makes too much sense not to be true.

Zeno’s Theory is sort of an autobiographical account of my development of the book. He had the same problems with what he was taught, and he has the same expectations of being harassed and ridiculed by the scientific community. But Zeno and I are not deterred, because we see ourselves as seekers of the truth, and we both believe we are on to something.

     How about YOU, reader? Let us know what you think of Tom’s book and theory!
