I have a few preliminary comments on Ove Tedenstig's Theory based on looking over
several chapters of his "Matter Unified" (Stockholm Sweden 2000) at the site that his
posting gives. I could not read them in detail because his style of writing differs from the
one that I am accustomed to in journal literature, but I was very impressed. Here are my
comments.
A. I may be over-enthusiastic, but I think that Ove Tedenstig should be seriously considered
for a Nobel Prize in Physics for clarity, simplicity, depth of thinking, precision, going
against the Mainstream current, translation between two verbal modalities (English and
Swedish) and between verbal and quantitative, emphasis on expansion-
contraction/compression (if I understand him correctly), emphasis on dimensional analysis,
interdisciplinarity within branches of physics and engineering and mathematics and
chemistry, emphasis on continuity and real analysis (if I undestand him correctly), emphasis
on mass and force and energy, etc.
I suspect that the criticisms of his theories by the Mainstream people that I referred to earlier
are due to a misunderstanding of the fact that "different" and "unmotivated" are different
things. In anthropology, this sometimes referred to as Ethnocentrism, in social psychology
dogmatism/authoritarianism, in perceptual psychology inability to discriminate, and among
people in general "closed-mindedness" or "failure to use common sense," as the Missouri
branch of the Doctorows would say.
