Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

---Update (2014-07-06)--- Whoa!!! I can't believe how excited I was about this book when I first read it nine years ago (see my original review below). I suppose it was my first time reading a proposed Theory of Everything, and I found the ideas and thought experiments so exhilarating that I was jumping up and down like a small child high on sugar. The amount of exploration and learning that I've done in the past 9 years makes the me from 9 years ago look like a naive fool, and I'm not too proud to admit that. I still think that Mark McCutcheon is a brilliant thinker and that his ideas are thought-provoking, but I've since become accustomed to thinking more critically than I did in the past; I seriously doubt that anything will become of Expansion Theory, but it's a fascinating read nonetheless. Please let me know what you think! By the way, if you are seeking plausible TOEs, then you should check out Thad Roberts' take on quantum space theory. His book has not been published yet, but you might be able to obtain a digital copy of his most recent draft if you check his website. I think he's on the right track, and his ideas are built on scientific groundwork that has been laid by many of the greatest scientists of the past 150 years. And he gives them all credit. In fact, his book is titled, "Einstein's Intuition." ---Original Review (2005-08-03)--- The Final Theory is hands down one of the greatest physics books I've ever read. It is so refreshing to see that someone is still searching for the truth, rather than accepting the erroneous theories that are popular today as absolute. I've read several books on relativity, quantum physics, string theory, etc; and these finely tuned theories do a pretty good job of describing our observations, but they leave so many unanswered questions (and create quite a few) that it's almost more difficult to understand the universe now than it was a century ago. I love how Mark McCutcheon breaks down current Standard Theory to reveal its flaws and inconsistencies; and the need for something better is extremely evident by the end of chapter 1. The thorough critique of current standard theories alone is enough to make the book worth it, but no one who totally rejects an idea should do so without offering a new idea of their own; and McCutcheon's new idea just might change history! I don't know if Mark McCutcheon has truly found the Theory of Everything (I'll let you decided that for yourself), but it makes more sense than anything else I've ever encountered. And no matter how hard I try, I can't disprove it in my own mind. Can you?
