"Our Undiscovered Universe" by Terrance Witt

Has anyone read this book? I'd like to pick up a copy but it is a bit pricey.

I've heard about it too but can't find any reviews. A google search just turned up a bunch of hype for the book and a lot of seemingly self serving posts on forums like this steering people to the website which has no real info either. Has Ron Hubbard been reincarnated?

Yup exactly why I was looking for real input. The book is fairly new so I guess just give it some time.

See this review of “Our Undiscovered Universe” by Terence Witt from a professional physicist:

Also see my review at http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~fiski/ouu_review.html
The flaws of this crackpot book are many and include:
Redefining the concept of infinity as a length with magnitude.
Defining a line as a series of points written as zeros, treating them as numbers so that they add up to zero and then treating the number zero as a point again!
A really bad atomic model "proving" that a electron orbiting a proton has a ground state that it cannot decay from by creating a new physical law.
Using the high school description of a neutron as a proton plus an electron and not realizing that this is just his atomic model!
Postulating that galaxies have "galactic cores" which are super massive objects that are not quite black holes and not realizing that the centre of the Milky Way is well observed. These recycle stars into hydrogen. Oddly enough astronomers have not noticed dozens of stars vanishing from the galactic centre in the many images that they have taken over the last few decades.

Conclusion: Bad mathematics and even worse physics.

This thread might be a year old, but this post does it justice but expect this thread to get deleted.

Thanks for the contribution though, that was an interesting read.
