Modern physics is essentially incapable of being understood because there are three mutually inconsistent explanations of aspects of the universe: one for atoms and subatomic particles, one for the Solar System and one to explain how the universe came into existence. Indeed, the three competing models of reality use different species of mathematics to explain themselves, further confusing matters. This course will study and discuss current theories as to how human beings are going to resolve this dilemma.
