This site is dedicated to the research of the American engineer Dewey B. Larson (1898-1990). Specifically, it's purpose is to provide a research and discussion mechanism for Larson's works, known collectively as the Reciprocal System of physical theory, or the "RS" theory.

Library Status

Submitted by B Peret on Mon, 08/11/2008 - 20:22

I am in the process of converting the old HTML files into the "book" format on the site. Once the books are entered here, they are fully searchable in the "Search this site" box. I have at least the Prefix for each book on the site now, and am working to convert the text and images for the remaining books.

Completed:

  • Beyond Newton
  • Nothing But Motion
  • The Neglected Facts of Science
  • The Case Against the Nuclear Atom
  • New Light on Space and Time
  • Universe of Motion
  • Road to Full Employment
  • Basic Properties of Matter
  • Structure of the Physical Universe
  • Quasars and Pulsars (Needs proofreading, better figures and formatting)

In Progress:

  • Beyond Space and Time (Need to OCR... may take a while)
  • Road to Permanent Prosperity (Pending page indexing)

Welcome to the Reciprocal System of theory

The Reciprocal System of physical theory was originally published by Dewey B. Larson in 1959 under the title, The Structure of the Physical Universe. In this work, Larson suggested that the Universe was composed of only one component, motion, a reciprocal relation between space and time where neither could exist without the other. From this premise, he theorized a Universe of Motion which very closely resembles the universe in which we live.

RStheory is now an "ORG"

Submitted by B Peret on Mon, 08/11/2008 - 19:35

I have moved the site from rstheory.com to http://www.rstheory.org since ISUS is a non-profit organization. Links to the old .com site should continue to work, though there might be up to a 36-hour delay as the network catches up with the change. Please update your bookmarks to refer to the .org site instead.

There are undoubtedly a number of broken links; I am working on correcting them now and improving the RS Library. It will take time, though, as it is a LOT of work!

WYSIWYG Editing now available

Submitted by B Peret on Tue, 08/05/2008 - 21:49

I switched to a different WYSIWYG editor, and this one seems to be working much better, though it loads a bit slow. The developers says that will be fixed in the next release!

The editor works just like your standard rich text editor; please let me know if there are problems.

Online audio is still not working; may be a while before that gets fixed.

ISUS is moving over to a non-profit TLD (top level domain) to go with our non-profit organization status. The new site, built on Drupal 6, is up for testing at http://www.rstheory.org

Web site and forum upgrades

Submitted by B Peret on Wed, 07/30/2008 - 10:48

The main web site software has released a major new version, which I will be switching to shortly after some testing. With this change, we will also be moving to rstheory.org (instead of com), since we are a non-profit organization. The old .com links will continue to work as an alias.

Another Inter-regional Ratio

Submitted by dbundy on Tue, 07/01/2008 - 18:11

One of the most important, and most mysterious, elements of the Reciprocal System of Physical Theory is what Larson called the "inter-regional ratio." Evidently, it was the subject of some conversation at the 1984 ISUS conference, in Salt Lake City, because afterwards, each ISUS member was invited to "write a statement of his ideas on the subject for publication in Reciprocity." In Larson's statement he writes:

Postal Rate Increases

Submitted by B Peret on Sun, 04/27/2008 - 13:54

On May 12th, the Postal shipping rates are going up again. I will update the catalog with new shipping rates at that time. I suspect that we will also have to add a "fuel surcharge" because of the ridiculously high cost of gasoline.

I will also be suspending sales when I leave ISUS HQ until I get back to Colorado and can get set up for shipping again, so if you want any books, NOW is the time to order!

Contact me for priority mail pricing and large order (5+ books) discounts.

PDF Catalog and Flyer in ISUS Block

Submitted by B Peret on Wed, 03/19/2008 - 21:31

I have added links to the ISUS/Reciprocal System Flyer (a single, double-sided page that can be tri-folded and mailed) and the current ISUS Catalog to the ISUS "block" on the bottom left side menu. The purpose of this block is to give quick and easy access basic ISUS information for visitors.

No, Dewey has not made a Second Coming to post here

Submitted by B Peret on Mon, 03/10/2008 - 17:18

Some people are apparently confused by the "posts" by DB Larson. That is ME doing the posting, not Dewey from the other side. I set up an account on the system for Mr. Larson so that it would track authoring information accurately. That way, when someone searched for articles authored by Larson, they COULD search for Larson, and not have to look under my name. That's all, folks. But if I do figure out how to use the "photon interface" to transmit messages to the other world, you'll be the first to know!
