Why should protons be composed of quarks? Why are protons, antiprotons, positrons, and electrons the only stable elementary particles? No one knows,and no one has even come close to answering questions like these.Our modern instruments give us exquisite snapshots of an ancient cosmic cinema written across the heavens, but they do not foster comprehension, and scientists are left to wander through forests of data without a map, capturing new measurements while never fully explaining or understanding the previous ones. It is simply not possible to understand anything of importance about the universe if we fail to understand its most fundamental mystery: Why does it exist? This is the question most cosmologists are convinced is beyond their reach now and in the foreseeable future. Many would claim it unknowable. “Why does the universe exist?” casts a shadow of doubt across all of the physical sciences. It is the gaping void in science itself. The reason for existence is the most important scientific question there is, and I’m convinced the theory presented in this volume answers it rationally, completely, and unequivocally. A wealth of compelling evidence gives me reason to believe it is the first cohesive explanation of the underlying basis of the physical world. People are born; kittens are born; even stars are born. The notion the universe was born and is very old certainly seems reasonable. While a small number of scientists are convinced there was no Big Bang, no one has a reasonable “short answer” to replace it. Null Physics is, for the first time in the history of science, both a complete answer to the riddle of our existence and a quantitative theory of universal properties. Other fields of science, from molecular biology to geology, still seek a deeper understanding of the phenomena they study. Physics, from the realm of subatomic particles to galactic superclusters, is the only branch of science that claims an unwarranted exclusion from the pursuit of understanding. Where else does not knowing the answer make a question irrelevant?
