Synopsis:

Imagine a civilization with a technology so powerful that a single push of the “wrong” button could destroy this very entire civilization. As the consideration of future warfare requires the inclusion of a unified physics, we have to deal with complex concepts of Quantum Theory and General Theory of Relativity. The two have to be brought together before we are able to deal with the matter of future warfare technology in a satisfactory manner. That such a “Theory of Everything” or “Theory of Quantum Gravity”―in principle―already exists and had been already derived by the great German mathematician David Hilbert. When digging deeper and looking for applications of the “new” theory, we realized that many of the new possibilities could also lead to quite disastrous utilizations in military. It is futile to hope that mankind would not recognize this potential and restrain itself from its exploitation.

Thus, we thought we better make this knowledge public and hope for some kind of global understanding, perhaps guaranteeing the non-usage of certain technologies. It might only be a weak hope, but in observing history and realizing how little we gained by keeping crucial knowledge restricted to some, thereby often only even more provoking the development of the most horrific weapons one could imagine at the time, we simply see no better way. This book does not provide blueprints ready to start the developments of new quantum gravity weaponry and strategies, but it draws the line that would suffice to awake the right forces and trigger the best developments … before the bad guys get the gist.

About the Author:

Norbert Schwarzer graduated in physics from the University of Chemnitz, Germany, in 1991. After several research projects abroad and a PhD in contact mechanics in 1998, he became an assistant professor at the University of Chemnitz in 1999. In 2005, he founded Saxonian Institute of Surface Mechanics. Dr Schwarzer has published a variety of papers in the fields of basic research and application of contact mechanical approaches for laminates, composites, and layered materials. Due to the need for better stability prediction and socioeconomic models, he started to apply the concepts from theoretical physics in more down-to-earth fields such as materials science, school transport, and sales market analysis. Some of this work finally led to the ideas for the improvement of the original theoretical concepts.
