It seems like atomism is consistent with for example the Heisenberg's Uncertainity formula, but with a new interpretation. It also gives a new and logical interpretation for the Schwarzschild radius at the Planck scale. There are no miniblack-holes. The math has been hinting us towards a unique indvisible particle always moving at the speed of light. Atomism show us there is a speed limit just before the speed of light when mass must turn into energy. These speed limtis are far above what is currently achived at LHC.

"If there really exist ultimate units, we have only to discover their laws and all their possible combinations, and we shall be all-knowing and all-powerful, like gods"  a quote from Lancelot Whyte (Essay on Atomism: from Democritus to 1960). Lancelot predicted that a renewed atomism likely would become the ulitmate theory of the depth of reality.

Through history atomism has been ignored and surpressed and even outlawed. Plato supposedly wanted to burn as many of Democritus books as possible, but why? An anonymous cleric supposedly filed a report with the Inquisition in which he claimed to show that Galileo was an atomist. In 1624 the Paris Parliament decreed that a person maintaining or teaching atomism would be liable to death penalty. "The aggressive rise of physical atomism as an adequate explanation of the universe... provoked a crusade (1660-1700) against it." Lancelot Whyte.

Have you ever met a modern physicst well studied in atomism. I strongly doubt so!

The postulates from ancient atomism surprisingly leads to the same mathematical end results as given by Einstein's special relativity theory, but atomism leads also to a series of additional results. Atomism also gives us a somewhat different interpretation than special relativity theory. Einstein said nothing about what energy and matter consist of.

"It is important to realize that in physics today, we have no knowledge what energy is." Richard Feynman

Unified Revolution introduces a new fundamental theory of physics, backed up by mathematics and scientific experiments. For the first time in the history of man, a unified theory of space, time, energy, mass, gravity, causality, uncertainty, cosmology, and even memory and intelligence is presented.

More than 2,500 years ago, the ancient Greek philosophers, Democritus and Leucippus, assumed that everything consisted solely of indivisible particles perpetually traveling in the void. This theory was called atomism. Ancient atomism was abandoned and ignored by modern science, not because the theory was flawed, but because it was never understood, and not even close to fully explored. This book introduces a new mathematical framework derived from ancient atomism, and it therefore includes several hundred new mathematical results in fundamental physics that have never been published before.

Einstein s famous formula, E=Mc^2 , is correct, but there are several deeper layers behind this formula that are revealed in this book.

My presentation at the the Royal Institution, London, October 15, 2015. Expect a slow download as the file is about 140mb. The presentation is not easy to understand only from the slides. I am open for more talks about this topic! My talk was mainly about mathematical atomism, which is what my new theory and book are about. What is truly important in this presentation was one of my last slides where I for the first time in a lecture mention that there is a an exact maximum velocotiy for matter. First years later I understood that special relativity is in conflict with assumption off any minimum lenght. This leads to a trans-Planckian crisis that is solved with my maximum velocity formula for matter. midpoint colocation page for many more details on this!


Short summary in Greek (from my poster Presentation at the 6th Panhellenic Symposium of Epicurean Philosophy in Athen (2016).

Explanation: true one-way speed of light


Excel spreadsheets (directly linked to physics derived from ancient atomism):

There is much more to the speed of light, length contraction and time dilation than any book on special relativity theory will tell you about. Special relativity theory is an incomplete theory that need to be replaced with indivisible relativity theory derived from the postulates of ancient atomism! Of course not because it is derived from these ancient postulates, but because it also can explain results that SR cannot explain, like a series of ignored one-way speed of light experiments. Ancient atomism dressed up in modern mathematics is the simplest theory possible that is still is able to explain the world we observe around us.

One-way speed of light any direction alpha, One-way speed of light any direction theta, One-way speed of light parallel direction

The Einstein synchronization error.

The relationship between alpha and theta

Round-trip speed of light. 

Two-way speed: in the special relativity theory literature better known as: mutual speed, exterior relative speed, or closing speed.

Length contraction and expansion in the parallel direction In general one cannot (even hypothetically) measure length contraction without having two synchronized clocks. Einstein length contraction contains a synchronization error. It is the Einstein synchronization error that makes the Einstein length contraction reciprocal. Under Einstein's theory two trains traveling in the opposite direction will both claim it is the other train that is contracted. This holds true when using Einstein synchronized clocks. However, the length contraction in Einstein's theory is an apparent length contraction that has an embedded Einstein synchronization error. The FitzGerald  length contraction (and also the original Lorentz contraction) are not the same as the Einstein contraction. In FitzGerald length contraction it is the velocity relative to the ether that is relevant. Under Einstein's theory it is only the relative velocity that counts. FitzGerald's contraction and also the original Lorentz contraction are incomplete (they only holds between the ether frame and one moving frame, not between two frames that both move against the ether frame) and the Einstein length contraction contains a synchronization error. See my book for derivations and discussions. Length contraction/expansion for any angle relative to the void.

Time dilation: the true one-way time dilation is not isotropic and not reciprocal. One-way time dilation as measured with Einstein synchronized clocks (also under atomism) is isotropic and reciprocal.


A better understanding of space and time could potentially have a series of practical implications in the medium to long-term future; for high speed trading, aviation, space navigation, energy and material science. Most important a better understanding of the fundament of reality could change the whole way we look at the world around us.
Classical mechanics with indivisible particles always moving at the speed of light relative to the void leads directly to E=Mc^2 (read my book for in detailed discussion). My book extends this to relativistic mass, Doppler shift and much more. By deriving everything from ancient atomism postulates simplicity and logic returns to physics (even if most of the formulas stays the same). The Newton corpuscular theory of light was very similar to atomism.

The mass defintion below is different than in modern physics, see my book and my working paper: "the mystery of mass as undersood from atomsim". Mass as kg and mass as time-speed are just two faces of the same coin!
