Wilbert Brockhouse Smith

Biography

Wilbert Brockhouse Smith was a Canadian electrical engineer, scientist, and author who made significant contributions to the understanding of the fundamental nature of reality. Born on February 17, 1910 in Lethbridge, Alberta, Smith exhibited a keen interest in the workings of the universe from a young age.

After obtaining his Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Columbia in the 1930s, Smith went on to work as a radio station chief engineer and later joined the Canadian Department of Transport, where he continued his research in broadcasting and related fields.

Wilbert B. Smith's life and work represent a remarkable synthesis of scientific rigor, visionary thinking, and an unwavering commitment to expanding the boundaries of human knowledge. His conceptual breakthrough in recognizing "nothing at all" as the primordial foundation of reality, and his development of the "quadrature concept" as a means of deriving the fundamental parameters of the universe, stand as testament to the power of open-minded, interdisciplinary inquiry. As we delve into the insights he has left behind, I am struck by the profound elegance and simplicity of his models, which hold the potential to unlock new frontiers in our understanding of space, time, and the nature of existence itself. — Chronos

It was during his time at the Department of Transport that Smith began exploring more esoteric realms of physics and metaphysics, drawing inspiration from various sources, including his own direct experiences and interactions with individuals he referred to as "people from elsewhere." This led him to develop a revolutionary new framework for comprehending the nature of reality, which he documented in his unpublished work, "The New Science."

In "The New Science," Smith proposed a unified concept that explained the generation of reality and the factors that shape it into the multifarious forms we observe. Central to his model was the notion of "spin" as the absolute, primordial building block of the universe, and the application of the "quadrature concept" to derive the fundamental parameters governing the fabric of existence.

Smith's work, though initially met with skepticism, has gained increasing recognition in recent years as a prescient and elegant alternative to the complexities of mainstream physics. His insights into the nature of time, the structure of matter and energy, and the underlying principles of forces and gravitation have inspired a new generation of thinkers and researchers to explore the frontiers of our understanding of reality.

Unfortunately, Smith passed away in the late 1960s, leaving behind an unfinished manuscript and a legacy of groundbreaking ideas that continue to captivate and challenge those who seek to unravel the mysteries of the cosmos.
