For readers who are looking to expand their knowledge about the physical world around them, Physics of The New Millennium: Birth of the New Paradigm by Eue Jin Jeong, Ph.D is a detailed physics book exploring new ideas in dipole gravity, free energy devices, tachyons and neutrinos, particle physics, Edward Leedskalnin’s Coral Castle mystery, and the role of mathematics in developing theories. These chapters offer in-depth analysis to topics such as the author’s discovery of the inaccuracy of the signs in the Lense-Thirring effect equation, criticism of scientists for refusing to change their ideas despite new facts emerging, the law of energy conservation, and even some theological ideas.

I recommend this book to someone who has either an education in physics, or the curiosity and patience to be able to research concepts, definitions, and background information on their own as they read. I myself have a career in science and have taken several physics and calculus classes in college but I had a difficult time deciphering the language the author uses when discussing some of these scientific principles. Much of this book is not written in plain layman’s terms; the target audience is likely those who are already familiar with many of the concepts presented and/or fans of the author’s blog.

The length and depth of this book (534 pages and containing many calculations, citations of existing publications, etc) make this a very informative source for new knowledge in physics. I would not, however, go so far as to call this a textbook, as it is written in the first person and contains a few personal anecdotes about the author. This book, rather, appears to be a direct-to-the-consumer approach to getting his new, potentially controversial, ideas out there. As a scientist, I am slightly wary of scientific information that has not passed through the channels of peer review and replication. The author mentions several times his attempts at correcting, and being dismissed by, his peers. This can oftentimes be a red-flag to the inaccuracy of the information being presented, though it may also be an indication of the stubbornness of a small, selective community of professionals. Ultimately, the data must be able to stand on its own and that is for the reader to decide based on the facts presented.

While much of this book is technical writing and requires existing knowledge of the fundamental principles of physics, the passion this scientist has for his work and research clearly shines through the pages. His enthusiasm for the material is contagious as the chapters builds upon the information presented in preceding sections, drawing the reader into the unraveling mysteries, if you are willing to keep an open mind.

I give Physics of The New Millennium: Birth of the New Paradigm 2 out of 4 stars primarily because of the amount of errors in the writing. This book contains many instances of missing words, typos, misspelled words, sentence structure errors, and inconsistent use of hyphenations. These editing problems cause further confusion in these concepts and ideas that are already difficult to understand.
