My Journey

The development and writing of the Holistic Universe Model took me almost three years, all the while balancing my day job and busy family life. As a result, the Interactive 3D Solar System Simulation, the Excel spreadsheets, and the book are fully aligned with scientific data of Earth’s precession, orbital eccentricity, axial tilt, inclination tilt, length of days & years, including the perihelion shift of Earth and all planets.

The model is — and looks — very simple, but only became simple after many, many, many attempts.

Even if this model ends up being wrong, I still believe it holds significant value. First and foremost, I’ve personally gained a lot from this experience. Beyond that, I believe the model can serve as a teaching tool to help others grasp complex concepts that are often hard to visualize or understand theoretically. Take for instance the term “inclination” — I have visualized the movement so others can see what is exactly going on. Additionally, I have visualized the perihelion precession of Mercury.

I’m confident it will inspire curiosity and may even play a role in shaping future discoveries.
