The author was born and raised in the American Midwest during the Great Depression. Educated in good public schools, he graduated from Fairbanks High School and studied at the University of Alaska in its civil-engineering program. During that time, he wondered why most of the so-called fundamental universal physical constants of nature are multidimensional with irrational values. Upon the Korean-War armistice, his inquiries into the physical constants were delayed when he became a pilot in the USAF, stationed in France. While flying, he wondered about the origin of the powerful G forces. When he left the USAF, he married Annick, the daughter of an innkeeper in Normandy, and remained there to raise three sons. He became a chef de cuisine and, with his wife, eventually managed the inn-L'Auberge du Saint Aquilin. Its restaurant was the finest midway between Paris and the luxurious English-channel resorts of Deauville and Trouville-the "Parisian Riviera". When the new Autoroute de Normandie bypassed the inn, sales plummeted, so he returned to America with his family. He created the Reef restaurant in the resort bordering on the Atlantic Ocean in Vero Beach, Florida but shortly returned to Seattle to take advantage of the GI bill. He obtained a BSEE and an MBA from the University of Washington. While a student, he reprised his inquiries into the physical constants and inertial force to finally discover important new information about them, which he presents in this and previous writings. After selling the Normandy inn, Annick and he created Annique's, a deluxe French restaurant in downtown Seattle, which they sold years later. His other work over the decades was as the camp manager of various remote construction sites in Africa and Alaska. He was a computer instructor at various community colleges and then an assistant professor of computer systems technology at Memphis State University and an assistant professor of computer science at Western Washington University in Bellingham. Before retiring, he was a technical writer, an editor, and finally the manager of the publications department of Anacomp, Inc. an electronic document-storage and -retrieval systems company in San Diego. He created English and French user manuals for those systems. Annick, his wife for a half century, finally succumbed to tobacco-related lung cancer, which was caused by working for decades in her smoke-filled restaurant dining rooms-she, herself, never smoked!
