The Answers Were There All Along: A Century at the Boundary of Physics

This narrative-nonfiction preprint reconstructs a century of work around General Relativity, quantum mechanics, observation, effective field theory, and physical boundaries. It follows the separate results that made a common structural question visible: whether the long conflict between relativistic geometry and the wave function persisted because their shared boundary had never been given an explicit address for scale. The narrative culminates in the complete text of The Answers Were There All Along: General Relativity, the Wave Function, and the Missing Boundary of Scale and connects that gateway argument to the operational extension developed in The Return of Scale. This is a limited-availability preprint issued ahead of intended commercial publication as a book-length narrative. Copyright (c) 2026 Sid J.A. Hubbard. All rights reserved.
