THE RECIPROCAL SYSTEM

AS WE ENTER the 21st century we find the rank and file of the physics profession openly
acknowledging the impending crisis in the High Energy Physics. They are eagerly looking for
promising alternative ideas in theory and experimental techniques. We suggest that the reason
why the physical theory has been becoming more and more complex is that it has to make up for
a wrong basic paradigm on which it has been built.
THE NEW PARADIGM
We inform that the Reciprocal System of physical theory, originated by
Dewey B. Larson, is a true, complete and easily understandable general theory, founded on a
fundamentally new paradigm. The present view is that the phenomena of the physical universe
exist in a framework of space and time. In contrast, the Reciprocal System asserts that scalar
motion or speed, i.e. space/time, is the content of the physical universethe sole content. It
should be realized that this is a conceptual innovation of unprecedented nature throughout
recorded history. No matter what conceptual changes the previous thinkers have introduced into
the physical theory, including the latest efforts, they all have been, without exception, based on
this age-old paradigm of viewing phenomena as existing in space and in time. Therefore it must
be recognized that the Reciprocal System is not just another theory, but one that is based on a
totally new paradigm which no previous thinker could ever divine.
THE ANTI-UNIVERSE
Larson discovers that there are several speed (motion) domains of the
physical universe that cannot legitimately be represented in the conventional three-dimensional
spatial reference frame. In all the cases where theory is encountering serious difficulties, the
trouble arises because of the Procrustean attempts to fit all physical processes into the limited
three-dimensional spatial frame. The Reciprocal System shows that there is a conjugate sector
of the universe, the Cosmic Sector, which can only be represented in the analogous threedimensional temporal reference frame. Most of the mysterious astronomical phenomena that
have no proper explanation in the conventional theory turn out to be the normal Cosmic Sector
phenomena as they appear to us. High-energy Cosmic Rays, Cosmic Microwave Background
and Gamma Ray Bursts are typical examples. Larson identifies that some of the Cosmic Sector
processes have wider implications and are relevant to the Life Sciences.
STRANGE QUANTUM PHENOMENA
Then he also finds that there is a large segment of the
physical universe, the Scalar Zone, which cannot legitimately be depicted either in the threedimensional spatial frame or the three-dimensional temporal frame. All the bizarre aspects of the
quantum phenomena follow logically from the discrete nature of space and time. Further, the
Reciprocal System offers a rational and understandable picture of the Reality underlying the
quantum phenomena, which the Quantum Theory fails to provide.
THE TEST OF TRUTH
Larson has covered a large ground in his worktruly immense for a
single individual to have donefrom the atomic to the astronomical, and developed theory far
enough to establish that it is truly general. It is time that a concerted international effort is
directed to evaluate the truth and merit of the Reciprocal System by open-minded members of
the scientific community. Sooner or later, the mounting pressure of the crisis in the High Energy
Physics is itself going to bring this to happen. But if an Institution or Foundation dedicated to
mankinds betterment through science and technology can sponsor such a project to evaluate the
Reciprocal System, it would save enormous amount of funds and human resources from further
getting squandered on unfruitful scientific enterprises based on the wrong basic paradigm.
