Here is the Intro to the book:
The Universe

This book will explain what the Universe is made of and how those
things interact to form everything that exists. The constructions are
based on the validity of human reason and sense evidence, coupled with
experimental results. It is addressed to high-school level people, in
order to preempt the things they would be taught later which might
block their minds from understanding its explanation of the structure
of reality. At the present basic level the actions of gravity, an
electric field, magnetism, light, quanta, and much else are given in
equations. Beneath the equations there is total mystery. This book
presents several basic concepts, some old, some new; and uses them to
explain everything that exists in the physical world, including the
physical realities and mechanisms the equations describe. It will
explain the metaphysics first, and then, via the equations, the
relevant physics. We will find that Reality is very different from
the fundamental concepts of Science.


"Someday we'll understand the
whole thing as one single
marvelous vision that will seem so
overwhelmingly simple and
beautiful that we will say to each
other – 'Oh, how could we have
been so stupid or so long?'"
John Wheeler

"Then the Eyes of the Blind shall
be Opened and the Ears of the
Deaf Shall be Unstopped."
Isaiah


Introduction

Twenty-seven centuries ago Thales set forth the thesis that a material
substance which he called the "ylem" fills every place in the
universe. Heraclitos then observed that material bodies undergo
various kinds of change. Parmenides then said that change cannot be
due to motion if there is nothing but one physical substance or many
microscopic particles; for motion requires that a thing moves from
where it is to where it is not. He said,
"If there is no 'where-it-is-not' then motion is impossible. The
motion of many particles involves a 'where-it-is-not' as much as the
motion of one. Moreover, there cannot be many particles if nothing but
the moving particles of matter exists. For many-ness requires
something to enable one to distinguish between one particle of matter
and another, and this is impossible if nothing but the stuff of the
atoms exists."
That entire argument is based on the unspoken premise that the ylem
is incompressible. That, in turn, led to the kinetic-atomic theory
that matter is made of ultimate particles separated by empty spaces;
which is the primary plank in the present scientific paradigm. At the
far end of every consequence based on that ancient premise lies total
mystery.
As of now the mystery is blamed on the way God made the world, rather
than its real cause:
The ancient premise is false.

The constructions in this book are based on the alternative premise:

Matter Is Compressible.

An easily movable bodily compressible material that fills all space
can and does easily move within, around, upon and through more of
itself by changing the volume that bits of displaced portions occupy
during those motions. When a material body is compressed the matter of
which that body is made is condensed into a smaller volume, rather
than, as now believed, that its component particles move closer to
each other in an intervening empty space. Rather than being made of
point-sized particles, all material bodies, including the smallest
particles, extend for meaningful distances in all directions.
