    About this ebook

    Since it was developed, Newton‘s law of gravitation and many other laws of physics cannot be derived from one grand underlying principle.

    Deriving Newton‘s law of gravitation or Einstein general relativity theory, would mean that gravity emerges from something else and that would mean that the only known Newton‘s law of universal gravity is no longer a
    fundamental law of physics.

    Although this might be true, I believe that everything must have an origin. I believe that there is a fundamental universal physical law from which all other known physical laws can be deduced. I also believe that the laws of physics are not picked at random but there exists an underlying principle from which they can be derived with ease. Failure for some minds to grasp this principle doesn‘t mean that it doesn‘t exist.

    Because I was used to deriving and proving formulae in pure math, I didn‘t like the way the laws of physics were presented to me without proof. A physics tutor would just write down a set of physical laws without proof. There are so many physics books which still do the same thing.

    Being curious and passionate to finding out how I could derive all the laws of physics from one single equation is proof that this book would have never existed in the first place if had not discovered the hidden principle that underlies all physics.

    Balungi Francis

    Balungi Francis was born in Kampala, Uganda, to a single poor mother, grew up in Kawempe, and later joined Makerere Universty in 2006, graduating with a Bachelor Science degree in Land Surveying in 2010. For four years he taught in Kampala City high schools, majoring in the fields of Gravitation and Quantum Physics. His first book, "Mathematical Foundation of the Quantum theory of Gravity," won the Young Kampala Innovative Prize and was mentioned in the African Next Einstein Book Prize (ANE).  He has spent over 15years researching and discovering connections in physics, mathematics, geometry, cosmology, quantum mechanics, gravity, in addition to astrophysics, unified physics and geographical information systems . These studies led to his groundbreaking theories, published papers, books and patented inventions in the science of Quantum Gravity, which have received worldwide recognition. From these discoveries, Balungi founded the SUSP (Solutions to the Unsolved Scientific Problems) Project Foundation in 2004 – now known as the SUSP Science Foundation. As its current Director of Research, Balungi leads physicists, mathematicians and engineers in exploring Quantum Gravity  principles and their implications in our world today and for future generations. Balungi launched the Visionary School of Quantum Gravity  in 2016 in order to bring the learning and community further together. It’s the first and only Quantum Gravity physics program of its kind, educating thousands of students from over 80 countries. The book "Quantum Gravity in a Nutshell1", a most recommend book in quantum gravity research , was produced based on Balungi's discoveries and their potential for generations to come. Balungi is currently guiding the Foundation, speaking to audiences worldwide, and continuing his groundbreaking research.

      It is my pleasure to present to you a book I wrote during the corona virus pandemic of 2020, in which I derive all the laws of physics from one grand underlying principle. Finally, I give you this book as a gift and it is therefore your decision to decide whether the laws of physics do indeed have an origin. Thank you

      The Hidden Principle that Underlies all Physics

      Starting from first principles and general assumptions we present a heuristic argument that shows that Newton's law of gravitation and Coloumb’s law of electricity naturally arise in a theory in which space emerges through a zero- point fluctuation of the quantum vacuum. Gravity is identified with a casimir force caused by quantum vacuum fluctuations due to the presence of material bodies in it or the distortion of the vacuum through its interaction with mass. A relativistic generalization of the presented arguments directly leads to the Einstein equations. When space is emergent even Newton's law of inertia needs to be explained. The equivalence principle suggests that it is actually the law of inertia whose origin is casimir.

      The real origin of gravity is one of the most important, complex and substantially yet unsolved questions in Physics. The replacement of the Newtonian model of gravity with the Einstein’s one given by General Relativity (GR) has only shifted the question without solving it. Within GR, gravity has two possible interpretations: a field one and a geometric one. According to the latter, that has become the prevalent one, gravity is due to the curvature of the space – time tissue, represented as a rubber sheet, due to the presence of a mass. Nevertheless, this is a purely mathematical description telling nothing about the physical mechanism starting the motion. In fact, even supposing the existence, in the neighbouring of a source mass, of a curved four dimensional manifold it doesn’t explain why a second particle at rest should move towards the source mass.

      As such, it invites attempts at derivation from a more fundamental set of underlying assumptions, and six such attempts are outlined in the standard reference book Gravitation, by Misner, Thorne, and Wheeler (MTW). ' Of the six approaches presented in MTW, perhaps the most far-reaching in its implications for an underlying model is one due to Sakharov; namely, that gravitation is not a fundamental interaction at all, but
