Beyond Space and Time

Beyond Space and Time

Beyond Space and Time is a comprehensive overview of science and its relation to the major philosophies and religions of the world. As the culmination of a lifetime of research on the fundamental structure of the physical universe, the author delves into the metaphysical ramifications of the universe as derived from his Reciprocal System of theory on quantum space and time. By establishing a logical foundation for existence outside the physical universe, Larson takes one on a journey from biological groundwork through the meaning of dreams and the moral values inherent in all world beliefs, to the final destiny of mankind–both as individuals and as a species. While completely accessible to the general reader, the book is targeted especially toward the devout scientist who finds his life frequently torn between logic and faith. In an age when the quickening advance of science and technology is often at odds with humanity’s innate longing for spiritual moorings, this timely volume sheds new light on the age-old conflict between science and religion, the personal aspect of ethics, and the consequence of a reality beyond space and time.

About the Author

Dewey B. Larson was an American engineer and theoretician born in McCanna, North Dakota. The author of several works on the fundamental nature of the universe and the originator of the Reciprocal System of theory, Larson developed a consistent and comprehensive theoretical framework to explain natural phenomena from sub-atomic particles to super-galaxies. By answering questions such as, “Why does light sometimes behave as a particle and sometimes as a wave?”, “What is the origin of gravity?”, and “How are galaxies and quasars related?” the breadth of Larson’s work is unmatched by any other scientific investigator, past or present.

His first publication, The Structure of the Physical Universe (1959) laid the groundwork for further endeavors. Updated and expanded in a series of volumes, Nothing But Motion (1979), Basic Properties of Matter (1988), and The Universe of Motion (1984), Larson presents an alternative paradigm of the universe where space and time are simply the two reciprocal aspects of the basic component of the universe—motion. In other works, Larson enumerates the shortcomings of modern physical science, including critiques of relativity, quantum mechanics, and the nuclear theory of the atom.
