Welcome to the website of Duncan W. Shaw — a lawyer, judge and theoretical physicist — who lived from 1932 to 2025, in Vancouver, Canada.

This website is maintained by his nephew, David Rain, who can be contacted at rain@grampy.ca.

*****************************

My name is Duncan W. Shaw. I am the author of this website and the articles and papers referred to, except where otherwise stated.

This website provides access to the theoretical physics concepts I have developed and the articles and papers I have written on the cause of gravity, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, entanglement, inertia, the structure of matter and other topics.

The basic premise I have chosen to guide my work is the assumption that there are mechanical explanations for the various phenomena of physics.

I have found this assumption to be extremely useful. It has propelled me to visualize and formulate ideas well beyond what I imagined possible when I started on this venture.

My initial aim was to devise and develop a concept of the mechanical cause of gravity.

The work on gravity inevitably led me into electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, entanglement and other subjects.

Numerous ideas occurred to me, some of which I ultimately rejected after further thought and research. However, some survived the premise of being consistent with mechanical explanations.

My ideas are set out in the different sections of this website. I invite comments from anyone who shares my interest in these topics.
