Description:
In our contemporary era, two dominant theories in physics exist, and often clash. Einstein's relativity theory is based on strict determinism, while quantum theory is strictly indeterministic.
While Einstein recognized the value of quantum theory, he maintained that it is incomplete, and that the Old One upstairs does not play dice with the world. David Z. Rich's work is a new theory in physics, based on information theory, utility theory, and probability theory developed in the work, unifying physics, demonstrating that while we can never know if the Old One plays dice with the world, it is as if He threw the dice just once. This is a new theory and developed for theory testing is the approach of the critical test, as opposed to Karl Poppler's crucial experiment. The critical test relies on critique for debate and clarification, resulting, perhaps, in retesting, as explained in this work. This is a new philosophical work as well as a new theory in physics, and explains the problems of contemporary physics, and reformulates them into a new and effective theory.

About the Author:
David Z. Rich, a native of Detroit, Michigan, economic consultant, founder and educational director of Octavia School of Music. David Z. Rich spent his early years in Detroit and Miami Beach, Florida. graduated from Florida State University with degrees in economics and philosophy, thereafter accepted to the London School of Economics as a doctoral candidate in economics and philosophy. After 4 years of graduate studying at the LSE he interrupted his academic career to leave for the nascent state of Israel where he has been residing ever since; while in Israel he has had 7 books published ??? 4 in economics and 3 in philosophy, all of which are in the major public and university libraries throught the world. His current work, The New Theory of Physics: Contemporary Philosophy and its Problems, is based on a lifetime of study and research, leading to an original theory in physics and its philosophy, and is Rich's 8th published volume.
