The Rope Hypothesis, by physicist Bill Gaede, is presented in this fantastic third quarter issue of the Rational Scientist. Destined to be a collector's item due to it's beautiful illustrations and clear and consice alternative explanations to reality, and by replacing the unintelligible quantum gibberish and relativity nonsense of mainstream mathematical physics. Thread Theory explains electricity, magnetism, light and gravity with a single underlying physical mechanism: the rope. Sit down Michio Kaku; move aside Stephen Hawkin; step down from your podium Brian Green. The Rock Star days of Strings, Relativity time slices and quantum particles are over! Make way for the future as rational scientists reveal lthe underlying physical mechanisms behind ALL phenomena.
