The Formula – new addition, free

The Formula, 2nd edition, has now been published and is free from Sunday 5/17/2020 through Thursday 5/22/2020. Some of the math has been removed from the novel to improve the flow of the story. However, more detailed versions of chapters that have been shortened are available on this website as well as other supplementary material, for readers so inclined.

The Formula: Supplemental Material

On 9/12/2019, I made a post indicating my intention to publish articles on 4 topics – topics designed to provide explanatory material to supplement my novel, The Formula. These 4 topics were:

  1. RSA encryption
  2. Quantum encryption
  3. Bell’s Theorem
  4. Bohmian mechanics

My articles on these 4 topics have finally been published. Here are the links to those articles:

Some additional background material is also needed to understand the rather complicated subject of Bohmian mechanics. Here are links to those pages:

This project (at least for me) has been a massive undertaking. As noted in my last post, I’ve attempted to edit as best I could, but if any errors or inaccuracies have gotten by me, please let me know by clicking on the “Contact” link in the right upper corner of the page.

The Formula is Free!

A brutal murder, a frantic race to possess a precious religious artifact and an explanation for evil via quantum mechanics and chaos theory mark my novel, The Formula, a Dan Brown-like thriller for readers fascinated by math, extreme physics and the relationship between science and religion. It will be FREE on 8/23/19 and 8/24/19. You can download it on Amazon at the following link:

Next 4 topics

The next 4 topics that I would like to discuss on this blog expand upon subjects described in my novel, The Formula. They are:

  1. RSA encryption
  2. Quantum encryption
  3. Bell’s Theorem
  4. Bohmian mechanics

An explanation of RSA encryption is given in the long version of Chapter 62 from The Formula. It can be found elsewhere on this website. My page on RSA encryption will be, for the most part, the discussion in Chapter 62 (Long Version) presented in expository form. In keeping with my attempt on this site to avoid “black boxes,” I have included a detailed but slow and step-by-step derivation of the mathematical formulas used in RSA encryption. I’ve done this so the reader isn’t left scratching his or her head, wondering where those formulas came from. Because mathematical proofs have never been my forte, I’ve relied heavily on information gleaned from several on-line sources.

Likewise, my page on quantum encryption is largely an expository version of the treatment on this subject given in Chapter 79 (Long Version) from The Formula. This chapter can also be found on this website and can be reached by clicking here.

Because my treatments of RSA  and quantum encryption are essentially reformulations of the descriptions found in the above-mentioned chapters, it shouldn’t take too long to produce them. On the other hand, I plan to expand considerably on the discussion of Bell’s Theorem given in Chapter 79 (Long Version). Thus, I expect that my page on Bell’s Theorem will take a little longer to produce. Finally, the last page I wish to create that relates to The Formula has to do with Bohmian mechanics. Development of this page, quite frankly, will take some doing.

So RSA encryption should be coming up next. Slightly before or after my page on this subject is released, I anticipate posting news of a promotion involving The Formula: for 5 days, The Formula will be given away-free! On amazon.com.

So stay tuned.
