Description: This book investigates the possibility of a classical, mechanistic interpretation of modern physics. The laws of Special Relativity are derived from the wave nature of matter rather than from Einstein's postulates. A Dirac equation is derived from the simple model of an elastic solid aether rather than simply being postulated as a plausible relativistic wave equation. Quantum mechanical operators and wave correlations are also derived. Gravity is interpreted as wave refraction, consistent with the General Relativity result that a gravitational potential represents a variation in the speed of light.

About the Author: Dr. Robert A. Close holds a BS in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a PhD in physics from the University of California at Berkeley. He has published many scientific articles in the fields of medical imaging, plasma physics, and fundamental physics. His recent research, found in this book and at www.classicalmatter.org, offers a new paradigm for understanding modern physics based on simple mechanistic processes rather than the usual potpourri of postulates and empirical findings.
