What if the universe isn’t expanding outward—but collapsing inward into meaning?
In this groundbreaking work of integrative philosophy and science, Jeremy C. Jones introduces Universal Collapse Theory (UCT)—a bold new framework that reframes existence itself. From the birth of the cosmos to the emergence of consciousness, UCT proposes that collapse—the resolution of potential into form—is the unifying principle shaping everything.
Whether you’re questioning the Big Bang, the nature of free will, the rise of artificial intelligence, or the foundations of faith and meaning, Universal Collapse offers a single, cohesive lens—one that bridges physics, biology, cognition, and culture. This is not another “theory of everything.” It is a theory from everything: a recursive structure in which galaxies, life, thought, and belief emerge as layered phases of collapse under constraint.
Accessible yet profound. Poetic yet precise. Universal Collapse challenges how you see the universe—and your place within it. If you’ve ever felt the gap between science and meaning, this book dares to close it.
“We are not outside of collapse. We are its deepest fold.”
