PROLOGUE I was David Finkelsten's student from the 1980s until his death on 24 January 2016. Here is my view of the last 100 years or so of physics: 1910s - Einstein-Hilbert General Relativity 1920s - Cambridge - Clifford Algebra Dirac Equation 1930s - Fission Chain Reaction 1940s - Harvard-Princeton - Schwinger-Feynman QED 1950s - Princeton IAS - Bohm Quantum created and rejected David Finkelstein invented Black Hole SpaceTime Metric and (with Misner) Kink- Solitons related to Pion Breathers 1960s - Harvard - Schwinger Sources created and rejected David Finkelstein (with Jauch, Schiminovich, and Speiser) showed that Quaternions produced Massive Weak Bosons (now called Higgs mechanism) 1970s - Harvard - Standard Model Armand Wyler used Complex Domain Geometry of Loo-Keng Hua (and implicitly used Schwinger Sources) to calculate Force Strengths and Particle Masses 1980s - Harvard-Princeton-Caltech et al - Superstrings dominate physics David Finkelstein used Clifford Algebra for Space-Time Code and proposed that Our Universe began with a VOID fluctuation in a parent universe and evolved according to a chain of iterations of Real Clifford Algebras VOID Cl(VOID) = Z = Integers = 0-dimensional Cl(0) = R = Real Numbers = 1-dimensional Cl(1) = C = Complex Numbers = 2-dimensional Cl(2) = H = Quaternions = 4-dimensional Cl(4) = M2(H) = 2x2x4 = 16-dimensional Cl(16) = M256(R) = 256x256 = 65,536-dimensional David saw that the next step of iteration would produce Cl(65,536) which at 2^65,536-dimensions is large enough to include a realistic description of the Physics of Our Universe. 1990s - Caltech - Clifford Algebra, Quantum Information, and Particle Physics 2000s - LHC refuted Superstrings but No Alternatives Investigated Now - I have tried to summarize my work of the past 35 years or so in this book which is based on Clifford Algebra (David Finkelstein’s Cl(16)) and uses Geometry of Loo-Keng Hua and Schwinger Sources and is 422 pages (plus Prologue-Epilogue cover pages) pdf file (free book) on the web at http://vixra.org/abs/1905.0568 This book shows how realistic Physics model emerges from Cl(16) structure: Cl(16) Vectors = Spacetime = Shilov Boundary of Lie Ball Complex Domain Cl(16) BiVectors and half-Spinors = E8 = Gauge Bosons and Fermions ClI(16) TriVectors = 10 copies of 56-dim Fr3(O) = complexification of 27-dim J3(O) for 26D String=World-Line Theory whose spin-2 part = Bohm Quantum Potential and whose Tachyons produce virtual clouds of particles and antiparticles so that elementary particles are not points but are Schwinger Sources whose Green's Function propagators are Bergman Kernels of Complex Domains.

Abstract
There is a realistic Physics model, based on Real Clifford Algebras including Cl(16) and Cl(1,25).
Part I describes Real Clifford Algebras.
Part II of this book describes Clifford Algebra Physics and its calculations of Force Strengths, Particle Masses, Dark Energy : Dark Matter : Ordinary Matter ratio, Kobayashi-Maskawa Parameters, and 3 mass states of Higgs-Truth Quark Nambu-Jona-Lasinio System as they appear in Fermilab and LHC data.
Part III describes how Clifford Algebra Physics is related to Art (specifically to The Large Glass by Marcel Duchamp) and to Music (specifically to the Grosse Fugue by Ludwig van Beethoven) and to Archetypes of the Red Book by Carl Gustav Jung.
Part IV describes History: Universe - Humanity - my family.
Part V describes Deuterium fusion D+D+D+D to He+He + 47.6 MeV by Klein Paradox Quantum Tunnelling in Palladium Clusters.
