Only a few days until I publish my physics book!

All the way back in 2015 I started writing a non-fiction physics book, which I think I've always assumed I would never finish. It started with my conviction that space is something rather than nothing, it is an energetic field of some sort and not a "void" or "vacuum" in the traditional sense that we associate with these words. I started going to the library constantly and researching earlier thinkers' contributions to this debate. I was surprised by how long this debate has existed, and how many different philosophers and scientists have contributed to it. I started compiling my research into a single document, which gradually became a book of history in and of itself. Eventually, I had sixty pages detailing two thousand years of the void vs. plenum debate, but it wasn't long enough or compelling enough to warrant publication, so I left it to languish on my computer for a year until I caught the inspiration to write down my dissenting opinion on Einstein's theory of relativity. Right around the time that I finished that lengthy essay, there was a lot of hooplah in the news about the supposed "God Particle," the Higgs boson, and it was all so overblown and ridiculous that I felt I needed to write something about that too. Next thing I knew I had three large chunks of writing each expressing different aspects of my philosophic and scientific worldview, but I had no idea how to tie them together and turn them into a coherent book that someone might find interesting to read. A long-running fantasy of mine held that I would somehow stumble on some hitherto unheard-of equation that would solve all the mysteries of the universe and win me a nobel prize. Needless to say, that was a naive fantasy, and it felt all the more ridiculous when the real solution to my book came to me at a random moment: you'll never find an "equation for the universe" or a "theory of everything," not just because you're ill-equipped but because the universe is inherently incomprehensible. I knew this was the proper solution because of how simple, obvious, and, frankly, disappointing it seemed after it occurred to me. It wasn't exciting, but it was true, and it was the sole theme that tied together my history of the vacuum debate with my criticisms of Relativity and The Standard Model. Over the last two years, I have been slowly chipping away at finishing the book, adding things here and there to bolster the argument and tie together what began as an incoherent mess. I can't say that I've achieved perfect continuity with the text, but I've reached a plateau where I feel that continuing to sit on it will not lead to any major changes or improvements. So, it is finally time for me to wrap things up and get this book out there. I will be publishing it on Amazon.com within the week, and I sincerely hope that some of you will get a chance to read it and give me some feedback. The title is "Physics is Futile," and I will update you again when it's published!
