"President from 1913 to 1921, Wilson set a high bar for himself and the country. No president believed more fervently in the primacy of morality in politics or the 'moral force' of ideas. [This book] measures Wilson by his own standards while recounting his unprecedented success as an economic reformer, his grand vision for a peaceful world order, his moral blind spots (on race, women's suffrage, and free speech in wartime), and a final defeat that was largely self-inflicted. The Moralist is a cautionary tale about moral vanity and the limitations of leadership that strays too far from political realities. But it is also a tale of the enduring power of high ideals. Despite Wilson's missteps, his searching moral questions--about the role of a government in the lives of its people and about the duty of the United States to the larger world--transformed the economy and revolutionized international relations. Wilson's ideas remained at the heart of American political debate for the rest of the twentieth century. The challenges of the twenty-first require many answers that Wilson could not have supplied, but his central moral question--What is the right thing for a government to do?--is as relevant, and as urgent, as ever."--Publisher

This book presents a new unified theory for physics. It uses hyperfluid, hyperspace, and hypervortices to unify electromagnetism, gravity, quantum mechanics and more. It builds on Einstein's original directions and that of his predecessors. The chapter on mathematical analysis provides the unifying equation along with proofs of some of the key challenges of unification. Also provided are methods to enable others to complete additional proofs and derivations. The book challenges the reader to visualize our universe as one of an infinite set of universes filling a hyperverse. It also challenges the reader to make a conceptual switch from a universe of particles to a universe of hyperfluid in which each particle is our observation of a hypervortex in the fluid. The new theory expands the scope of physics to begin explaining the nature of life and free will. The book includes discussion of technologies that may be enabled by the new physics.
