The Twofold Existence of Particles and Nuclei - Hans-Dieter Herrmann - Bog

This Book contains a new proposal for physics within more than four dimensions (3 spatial dimensions + 1 time coordinate). An extra space is introduced, called basic space, instead of extra dimensions, compactified or otherwise embedded in space-time.
A "dual space concept" has been applied by the author to construct models of particles, photons and nuclei mainly in a bottom -- up process. The top - down reasoning, the dominating method in theoretical physics, is only used in a second step.
The kind of "twofold existence" discussed in this book turns out to be useful for describing natural systems in the living and non-living world.
