Physics

[close] Welcome to The Minority Club! Our goal is to bring together a community of individuals who are passionate about exploring and discussing some of the most challenging, controversial and thought-provoking ideas and worldviews. What unites our members is our obsession for intellectual rigour, honesty and humility. Every day we commit to read at least two chapters of a book we choose from a wide range of fields including philosophy, logic, mathematics, physics, and computer science. These books are often dense, technical, and require a high level of concentration and critical thinking to fully comprehend. However, we believe that the effort is worth it, as these books offer insights and perspectives that can help us to better understand ourselves and the world we happen to inhabit. During our meetings, we delve deep into the major topics and ideas presented in the book, using a combination of open debate and transparent analysis to digest the material trying to be as clear and critical as possible in order to grasp the foundations. We encourage all of our members to actively participate in these discussions, and we welcome a diversity of views and perspectives.

[close] Each month a theme will be set with a suggested book for each age group (adult, young adult, 8-12 years, young children). You do not have to stick to your age group, it's just to provide a little something for everyone. Some months adult themes may be included, there will be a warning given prior if this is the case. If you add a book to the tbr please let a moderator know the key themes, genres and age range that it falls under.

[close] Hi all! I'm Hok (NOT Ray, pictured) — I'm a physics enthusiast living in the UK and cannot believe that very few people on the Internet are talking about or discussing independent physicist Ray Fleming's 30 years' worth of incredible work on theoretical physics that may well turn out to be the Theory of Everything. In his books, including The Zero-Point Universe, he overturns popular and somewhat 'successful' theories such as Einstein's account of General Relativity via curved spacetime, quark theory and quantum chromodynamics, in order to give us a comprehensive model of how the universe actually works. His ideas have the potential to explain away the greatest 'mysteries' of physics, such as the missing matter problem (dark matter / dark energy / dark gravity) and anomalies from the JWST that do not fit with our best theories in cosmology. If this candidate for a Grand Unified Theory is not worth talking about, I don't know what is. Let's discuss Ray's ideas. Ray is reportedly working on his new book, The New Physics 2nd Edition. He is currently living in the Philippines.
