For over a hundred years or more scientists have been looking vainly for a unified theoretical model which could explain all the physical phenomena occurring both at macrocosm and microcosm on a single platform – and such a unifying idea has already been propitiously named the “Theory of Everything” – but then, there has been no actual success with any of the models presented so far! However, all the experimental and conceptual data piled up so far has given us to understand that the first step in this direction would be to unify the four fundamental forces of nature (electromagnetic radiation, gravitational force, strong force and weak force) into a single theoretical framework (i.e. into a “unified force”) – and this unified force has been the holy grail of physics all along the past century! But then again, despite the hardest efforts of our scientists, none of the theoretical models of today have succeeded in unifying all these four forces – though three of the four forces could be unified by the quantum theory, the gravitational force has remained stubbornly aloof refusing to be merged with the rest (we will study all the details in Part I). But then, why is this grand merger proved to be so nearly impossible? Do we have to erect some new kind of theoretical edifice in place of the theory of relativity or quantum theory, as is believed by many scientists? Or, is it because we need some sort of new physics or some sort of surreal subatomic particle to accomplish this grand merger? Or, is the entire academic exercise merely a theoretical mirage which our human mind is simply not designed to decipher? Or, on the other hand, consider these questions: Could this conceptual hurdle be due to some sort of theoretical misinterpretation of the already existing experimental data we have acquired down the centuries – or, putting it the other way, is there a scientific procedural oversight on our part? In other words, is it still possible for us to rearrange the vast amount of available knowledge in a new way to build up a simple theoretical model? With these questions in the background we will undertake a studious reorganization of the existing data, starting afresh with the fundamentals, and climbing our way up to many complex theories, to finally unravel a working model which would stitch up all the pieces in this gigantic jigsaw puzzle into one simple grand design. However, it may be realized at the outset, in this new approach, that the first and foremost block in theoretical science is our lack of complete understanding of the phenomenon of light – in other words, the first step in our expedition for unification must be to conceptually understand the very nature of photon. And, it is shown in Part II that this understanding would allow us to interpret matter, gravity and our universe in a proper perspective! Thus it may be stated that: A ray of light is at the centre stage of our theoretical understanding In accordance with the above reasoning, we will first study the general features of motion in Ch 7 which actually paves way for a correct conceptual understanding of light. In Ch 8 a mechanism of generation of light is presented in a versatile model called the photonic negentropic model. In Ch 9 we will see an extension of this model, aptly called the fermionic negentropic model, which unravels the mystery of how photons transform into matter particles. We know that, matter, once it takes its birth, exhibits an unimpeachable property of gravity – Ch 10 gives us an account, once again based strictly on the negentropic model, of the origin of gravity at the most fundamental level. In Ch 11 we will present a comprehensive view of the negentropic model which gives us some tolerably simple explanation of a few of the weird quantum phenomena we have encountered in Part I. And, finally, in Ch 12, we will apply the negentropic model at the cosmic level and see how it could answer some of the most perplexing questions of the cosmos related to black holes, dark matter, dark energy, the beginning and ending of the universe and several such issues.

About the Book
A Conceptual Breakthrough in Our Understanding of
Fundamental Nature of Matter and Energy!!
A lot of questions have bothered science for a long time! What is a photon? Why does light behave both like a particle and a wave? How does light transform into matter? What is gravity? What is Big Bang and what came before it? The list is endless …
Riding on a Ray of Light describes a working model, called the Negentropic Model, which describes the fundamental nature of matter and energy. The negentropic model, formulated as a single theoretical principle based on the current scientific concepts, describes the precise structure of photon along with an explicit mechanism of generation of a light. It also describes the precise nature of matter and its formation in nature along with the intriguing nature of gravity. Alongside, this model explains the underlying meaning of some of the weirdest quantum phenomena such as wave-particle duality.
In addition, by proposing the concept of ‘dark protons’, negentropic model allows us to delineate the precise nature of dark matter and dark energy, and this knowledge lets us peep into the depths of black holes to understand their true nature. Basing on these findings, the concept of Big Bang is revised and a brand-new concept of Differential Big Bang proposed!
Riding on a Ray of Light presents the most comprehensive model in fundamental physics proposed so for, answering many of the hitherto unanswered questions in particle physics and cosmology, which really helps us to work towards a Theory of Everything !
About the Author
KG Dharani has graduated in Medicine from Kurnool Medical College, Kurnool, and MS in general surgery from Kasturba Medical College, Manipal. He has taken his training in vascular surgery at the Nizam’s Institute of Medical Sciences, Hyderabad. He has been practicing surgery at Adoni, India for nearly three decades.
However, the specialty of medicine being a largely applied field of science, it could not quench his thirst to study a more subtle and sublime branch of science, the field of fundamental science! Fundamental science or basic science, as it is also called, is a search for the most basic mechanism that is operative at the fundamental level in any branch of science. Thus, all branches of natural science such as physics, chemistry and biology, at their core, deal with discovering the governing principles that are operative at the most fundamental level – and one should realize that at this fundamental level the boundaries between all the branches of science tend to become smudgy with similar forces operating in the background. But then, many academic specialists feel uncomfortable to go into these intricate depths in their respective fields (perhaps justifiably, for this being a practically impractical affair), and thus these aspects are generally left untouched for a long time in the history of science! But fortunately, nowadays, we have many specialists and thinkers who would try and venture out into these unknown fields with an unbridled mind of a wooly non-specialist who can come out of the lock-stepped approach of a specialist to reach for higher goals – and, hopefully, the reader may find the author belonging to this class of scientists!
