The language of the universe is mathematics, but how exactly do you
know that all parts of the universe 'speak' the same language?
Benioff builds on the idea that the entity that gives substance to
both mathematics and physics is the fundamental field, called the
'value field'. While exploring this idea, he notices the
similarities that the value field shares with several mysterious
phenomena in modern physics: the Higgs field, and dark energy.The
author first introduces the concept of the value field and uses it
to reformulate the basic framework of number theory, calculus, and
vector spaces and bundles. The book moves on to find applications
to classical field theory, quantum mechanics and gauge theory. The
last two chapters address the relationship between theory and
experiment, and the possible physical consequences of both the
existence and non-existence of the value field. The book is
open-ended, and the list of open questions is certainly longer than
the set of proposed answers.Paul Benioff, a pioneer in the field of
quantum computing and the author of the first quantum-mechanical
description of the Turing machine, devoted the last few years of
his life to developing a universal description in which mathematics
and physics would be on equal footing. He died on March 29, 2022,
his work nearly finished. The final editing was undertaken by Marek
Czachor who, in the editorial afterword, attempts to place the
author's work in the context of a shift in the scientific paradigm
looming on the horizon.
