Reviews

[Mikhail Filatov]

This book is all about the author - how his grandmother taught him, namedropping his famous friends "my friend Elon Musk flies to my island, etc."
He claimed that "Resonance Theory" he invented was stolen by Witten, Penrose and C in String theory - while admitting himself, that there is no math in his theory. For anyone knowing anything about String theory it's beyond laughable.
He seems to be a kind of "guru" for some of the rich - or at least he positions himself like one.
There is no real substance in this book, so overall - 0 stars.
