Nothing But Motion -- Volume I of a revised and enlarged edition of THE STRUCTURE OF THE PHYSICAL UNIVERSE

Nearly twenty years have passed since the first edition of this work was published. As I pointed out in the preface of that first edition, my findings indicate the necessity for a drastic change in the accepted concept of the fundamental relationship that underlies the whole structure of physical theory: the relation between space and time. The physical universe, I find, is not a universe of matter existing in a framework provided by space and time, as seen by conventional science, but a universe of motion, in which space and time are simply the two reciprocal aspects of motion, and have no other significance. What I have done, in brief, is to determine the properties that space and time must necessarily possess in a universe composed entirely of motion , and to express them in the form of a set of postulates. I have then shown that development of the consequences of these postulates by logical and mathematical processes, without making any further assumptions or introducing any thing from experience, defines, in detail, a complete theoretical universe that coincides in all respects with the observed physical universe. Nothing of this nature has ever been developed before. No previ
