A Clockwork Universe: URUT (Unified Rotating Universe Theory)
A Clockwork Universe by E. Hughes is a concise work of metaphysics and cosmology that revisits some of humanity’s oldest questions about space, motion, gravity, time, and the structure of the universe. Hughes describes the book as an examination of “the nature of nature,” which captures its approach well. Drawing on the history of philosophy, classical and modern physics, astronomy, and contemporary cosmological research, the book develops a mechanistic view of the universe centered on rotation and relational motion. Its scope is broad, but the writing remains approachable, inviting readers into a philosophical inquiry.
One of the book’s most distinctive features is its reconsideration of concepts that are often treated as settled or self-evident. Hughes asks readers to think carefully about what we mean when we use words such as space, time, gravity, expansion, and dimension, and whether the models used to describe physical reality should ever be confused with physical reality itself. URUT places particular emphasis on the distinction between mathematical description and tangible phenomena, while still drawing on established scientific observations and research. The result is a work that moves between Descartes, Einstein, Gödel, astronomy, thermodynamics, and more recent cosmological studies while maintaining a consistent philosophical focus.
Hughes writes in a direct, conversational style and frequently uses thought experiments and familiar physical relationships to make difficult ideas easier to visualize. That accessibility is one of the book’s strengths. The discussion can move from the history of cosmology to questions about the nature of space or the meaning of time without feeling like a survey course. Instead, the chapters build on one another as parts of a larger examination of whether the universe might be understood through motion, rotation, emergence, and observable relationships. The book also leaves room for the reader to question, test, and reflect on its ideas.
I’d recommend A Clockwork Universe to readers who enjoy metaphysics, cosmology, the philosophy of science, and serious examinations of foundational ideas. It should be especially engaging for people who are interested in Einstein, Gödel, the history of cosmological thought, or the relationship between mathematical models and physical reality. Readers who enjoy books that ask them to reconsider familiar concepts from a different philosophical perspective will find a great deal to think about here. Hughes invites the reader into a larger conversation about how we understand the universe and our place within it, while leaving enough unanswered on the page to make discovering URUT firsthand part of the experience.

The Science of How to Bring Back Eden
Barry Aubin’s The Science of How to Bring Back Eden is an intensely idiosyncratic manifesto that tries to yoke spiritual cosmology, environmental alarm, biblical revisionism, and speculative technology into one grand theory of human survival. The book moves from the author’s autobiographical awakening, through claims about telepathy, cloning, holograms, and a cosmic moral war, into a sprawling environmental program built around things like greenhouse gas elimination, hydrogen infrastructure, molecular hospitals, weather control, and telekinetic cold fusion. Running through all of it is a single conviction: humanity has been cast out of Eden, and it’s now our job to restore it through a fusion of conscience, science, and planetary responsibility.
What struck me most was how raw the book feels. It doesn’t read like a polished argument so much as a mind in full voltage, trying to put every fear, hope, grievance, and revelation into one enormous explanatory structure. That makes the book interesting. Aubin writes with the urgency of someone who genuinely believes he’s wrestling with life, death, climate collapse, and the fate of the soul all at once. I felt that urgency most clearly when he shifts from the surreal to the practical, imagining photosynthesis machines, hydrogen systems, and cleaner air as if engineering itself were an act of moral repair.
There are passages that are jagged and unguarded, then suddenly a line will land with real pathos, especially when Aubin writes about the dying world, about wanting people and animals back, or about rainbows, rocks, and the possibility of resurrection through the Earth itself. I kept thinking that the book’s strongest moments arrive when its grand theory briefly softens into grief. The image of a molecular hospital sitting beside the ache of not having saved beloved companions in time stayed with me more than the louder declarations did. Emotionally, I could see what was driving him: a refusal to accept death, environmental ruin, or moral surrender as the last word. That sincerity makes the book hard to dismiss.
I came away feeling that this is a fiercely personal document of longing and belief. I couldn’t deny the force of its conviction or the sadness beneath its grand design. I’d recommend it to readers interested in outsider thought, visionary environmental writing, or books that sit in the uneasy borderland between memoir, prophecy, and speculative systems-building.

We Control Our Reactions
The Truman Show: It’s True, Man! builds off the iconic movie The Truman Show and guides readers on a thought-provoking journey into the universe and reality that we experience. Why was this an important book for you to write?
Because if the physics experts are correct and we are living in a hologram, many of our beliefs about how the Universe works need to be examined and revised accordingly. For example, most people spend a lot of time resisting and trying to change the experiences they encounter. But if we live in a hologram, by definition, those experiences are not created by us inside the hologram, but by someone or something OUTSIDE the hologram — and that’s not us, so we can’t create, change or control the experiences we have. The only thing we can create, change or control is our reaction or response to those experiences, not the experiences themselves. So, there is no point wasting time bitching and moaning about the lousy poker hand we were dealt; we should be focusing all our time and energy on how we want to play that hand instead. And that’s just one example of how living in a hologram requires us to adapt our lives accordingly.
Did you find anything in your research of this book that surprised you?
Absolutely! I’ve been researching quantum physics and the holographic universe for about 30 years, and the surprises started with what is called the Double Slit Experiment, first performed in a rudimentary fashion by Thomas Young in 1801. As a result of that experiment, and many more to follow over the years, we learned that what we have always thought of as solid matter actually exists in wave form until it’s observed and converted into a particle. That’s why, when you view a hologram from the outside, you can pass your hand through it as if nothing was there. But if you are inside the hologram (as we are in this universe), the hologram feels and acts very solid and real. (I do not go into the Double Slit Experiment specifically in The Truman Show: It’s True, Man! Book, because it is not necessary to understand The Truman Show movie.)
The other big surprise occurred while actually writing the book, and that was learning a new English word: Demiurge. It turns out Plato used this word way back in 360 B.C. in one of his dialogues called “Timaeus,” where the demiurge is presented as the creator of the universe rather than God. It made so much sense to me that a loving, caring, omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent God would not create the kind of world we see when we look around today at all the pain and suffering and broken systems. It makes more sense to me that a being lower on the chain of command like a Demiurge was responsible for creating this mess. (Most religions believe in a pyramid scheme in the heavens, with different angels and archangels and yazatas (in Zoroastrian heavens).)
What experience in your life has had the biggest impact on your writing?
Over 20 years ago I read and researched nearly 1500 medical and scientific papers and studies about HIV and AIDS and came away knowing, without any doubt, that HIV could not be the cause of AIDS. And that 300,000 young men — mostly homosexual — lost their lives because of the incorrect cause presented to the world at a press conference by a megalomaniac named Dr. Robert Gallo who wanted to win a Nobel Prize for discovering the cause of AIDS. But the world believed Gallo, resulting in a catastrophic epidemic that was totally unnecessary. (AIDS was actually caused by giving a highly toxic cancer drug called AZT as a “cure” to these 300,000 men along with the widespread use of “poppers” by the homosexual community.)
Now, why did this have such an impact on my writing? Two reasons: One, I discovered that there are beliefs we have all adopted that play a major role in determining our behavior that we should re-examine and decide for ourselves whether they are true or not. And two, I had to figure out how to take very difficult and complicated topics and put them into much simpler language for everyone to follow and understand. I then wrote 2 books about HIV and AIDS, and that also stood me in good stead when it came to writing about the holographic universe.
What is one thing that you hope readers take away from The Truman Show: It’s True, Man!?
To be prepared to make drastic changes in their beliefs, opinions, judgments and fears as we discover more and more about the universe we actually live in. Of course, if the physics experts turn out to be wrong and we do NOT live in a hologram, then in the words of Emily Litella on Saturday Night Live, “Nevermind!”

Why? Well, there are well-known and very well-respected physicists who say that you and I are living in a holographic universe. In this book, Stephen Davis asks, “If they’re right, what difference does it make? Are we a lot more like Truman Burbank in the movie than we realize? Do we need to look more closely at the beliefs that dictate our day-to-day behavior?
The Truman Show: It’s True, Man! is a gripping, mind-bending journey that will have you questioning the reality you think you know. And, like Truman. can you break free from the confines of YOUR televised prison and follow him through that door in the sky?
The Truman Show: It’s True, Man!
The Truman Show: It’s True, Man!, by Stephen Davis, is a thought-provoking journey into the intricacies of our perceived reality, intertwined with the thematic backdrop of The Truman Show. This book elegantly melds quantum physics, neuroscience, and philosophy to challenge our conventional understanding of the world and our actions within it.
Drawing inspiration from renowned physicists such as David Bohm, Leonard Susskind, Amit Goswami, and Jacob D. Bekenstein, the narrative opens with a profound question: Are we living in a hologram? The author carefully constructs a foundation for this concept, suggesting that our reality is an illusion, much like the constructed world of Truman Burbank. By paralleling these theories with the cult classic film, Davis skillfully encourages readers to rethink their lives within the context of a carefully orchestrated stage.
At its core, the book articulates the idea that our perceptions shape our reality, leading to a powerful hypothesis that our brains project the world “out there” for us to experience. The parallels to The Truman Show are striking, as Truman’s actions are controlled and influenced by those observing him. Davis’s work invites readers to scrutinize the authenticity of their daily lives and confront the possibility of there being no “out there” at all. It challenges our perception of reality and the agency we have over our actions, raising intriguing questions about the extent to which external observers may be orchestrating our lives, much like Truman’s creators did in the movie.
Overall, The Truman Show: It’s True, Man! is an engaging book in which readers are asked to question some fundamental understandings of the world around us. This book blurs the line between reality and illusion and compels us to revisit our beliefs about the world, the nature of our actions, and the extent to which external influences may shape our lives. I highly recommend The Truman Show: It’s True, Man! for anyone who likes books that feel ‘trippy’ and make you think about the world around you.
