From Nature and Beauty

Mathematics, Physics, and the Structure of Human Civilization

Overview

Modern physics stands on a single recognized pillar: mass–energy equivalence.


This book proposes a second: force–power equivalence.

From Nature and Beauty brings together mathematics, physics, and human perception under a unified vision of structure and meaning.

Moving beyond traditional separations between force, energy, and motion, the author presents a deeper interpretation of physical reality—one in which these concepts are intrinsically connected.

This is not only a scientific exploration, but an invitation to rethink the foundations of how we understand the world.

Description

What is the true relationship between energy and force?

Since Einstein, modern physics has been built upon the principle of mass–energy equivalence. In this work, Keying Guan proposes a complementary principle—force–power equivalence—suggesting that force, like energy, has an intrinsic and measurable connection to power consumption, even in seemingly static systems.

Drawing from differential geometry, dynamical systems, and physical reasoning, this book explores a wide range of topics—from the structure of space curves and Frenet frameworks to the nature of radiation pressure, energy dissipation, and intrinsic force.

Through carefully constructed arguments, mathematical formulations, and visual illustrations, the author builds a unified perspective in which geometry, physics, and structure are no longer isolated domains, but interconnected expressions of the same underlying reality.

This book is intended for readers interested in the foundations of mathematics and physics, as well as those seeking new conceptual insights beyond established frameworks.

Whether you are a researcher, a student, or a curious thinker, From Nature and Beauty offers a rare opportunity to engage with an original and thought-provoking vision of the physical world.

About The Author

Keying Guan is a former professor of applied mathematics with a long-standing academic career in differential geometry, dynamical systems, and mathematical physics. He received his Ph.D. in 1984 from the Graduate School of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, where his doctoral defense was chaired by the renowned physicist Peng Huanwu. He later served as a professor and department chair at Beihang University, and subsequently at Beijing Jiaotong University. In recent years, his research has focused on foundational questions in physics, including the equivalence of physical quantities and the energetic interpretation of force. His work seeks to bridge mathematical structure and physical insight, offering new perspectives on long-standing problems. This book represents a continuation of his independent exploration into the deep connections between mathematics, physics, and the structure of human understanding.

His work aims to establish a new conceptual bridge between force, energy, and structure in modern physics.
