"Did you ever get the feeling that conventional physics was just too contorted to be correct?"

I certainly did.
I've always been fascinated with what constitutes our experience of reality — complete with all of its textures 🪵, its colours, its vibrancy 🌈, and its oddity.
So... just what is all this... stuff??
When I went to school to find the answer to such a question by learn about humanity's cutting-edge understanding of nature (y'know, that science-y subject we call physics) I was told that there were
- four fundamental forces in the nature (electromagnetic, strong nuclear, weak nuclear, and gravitational)... but why four? — [and why won't gravity play nice with the other three??]
- six types of subatomic particles called quarks (up, down, top, bottom, charm, strange)... why six?!
- our BEST model of the universe can only explain <5% of energy / phenomena we observe in the universe... the other inexplicable >95% we have given the moniker dark energy / matter / gravity. Much like medieval cartographers, not knowing what lay in the world's oceans deep, they drew sea monsters and said "Here be dragons!! 🐉"
- General Relativity (i.e. Gravitation) and Quantum Mechanics (the rest), the two most successful and fundamental theories that we have in physics, are totally incompatible with one another. And neither make intuitive sense, giving rise to the popular phrase "Shut up and calculate!"
Thankfully, in Dec 2023, I found out that we can do better than this. Much, much better.
... okay... so you wanna meet up and talk about... science?
Um, kinda! It doesn't matter whether you're a professional physicist, or you are a spiritual truth-seeker, or you're simply curious as to what the 'true' nature of what physical reality is, this group is for you!
Ray Fleming's 30+ years of scientific inquiry has produced a unified model of physics that had previously been hidden in plain sight. He is yet unrecognised by academia, but his work holds untold potential not only for advancing in our understanding of nature, of energy and of matter, but also of technology, philosophy, society, mythology, spirituality, and perhaps even of human consciousness as well.
For this reason and much besides, I just think it's worth getting our physics right.
... so... what happens at these Meetups? 🪐
We meet in a pub in Wapping, and we talk about life, science, the ways we experience reality (about 80-85% of the time) and about 15%-20% I throw in some ideas as outlined in Ray's book The Zero-Point Universe — all over bevvy ☕️ or a beer 🍻 or food 🍛 or whatever you like.
I'd like to think of this group as a super informal reading group / hang out =]
I'm really looking forward to seeing you in the upcoming events!

p.s. 🪷 with a very heavy heart that I was informed that Ray Fleming passed away 4 months ago. May he rest in eternal peace, unified once more with the quantum zero-point energy field that he has dedicated his life studying.

p.p.s if you're interested in discussing Ray's work with people, I'm building a community around ZPU. Please connect with us via these ZPU WhatsApp / Telegram groups! =]
Mini FAQ:
▶ Is this meetup is about pseudoscience, then?
Short answer: NO.
Long answer: it depends on what you mean by pseudoscience. Zero-Point Energy is a scientifically established and verified concept used to describe the immense amount of energy found in the vacuum of space by Albert Einstein himself (as Nullpunktsenergie), which is often ignored in conventional physics research. Ray's work simply asks the question: "What kind of physics do we get if we STOPPED ignoring zero-point energy?". His resultant quantum dipole model of the quantum field unifies all forces (including gravity) under the Electro-matter Maxwell force, and much more besides. Despite being a remarkable body of work, it must be considered fringe physics as it is not widely accepted yet.
▶ By 'unified' are you referring to the search for the Grand Unified Theory (GUT)? or the Theory of Everything (TOE)? But that's the Holy Grail of physics!
Short answer, YES, absolutely I am.
Long answer: please watch this video titled [The] Theory of Everything is Quantum Field Theory.
▶ Wow. Big claims! How do I find out more about Ray's work?
I've gathered all his online resources in this Linktree. Take your time, and enjoy. =]
