In Thomas S. Kuhn's book "The Structure of Scientific Revolution" he documents the doubts that precipitate a paradigm change in scientific thought.
For example, even though one could still make accurate predictions of planetary motions using Ptolemy's Epicycles it became increasing more difficult to integrate that concept with the more accurate observational data provided by the new technologies of that day. This resulted in some scientists questioning their validity.
He suggests the doubt generated by it's persistent inability of to explain new data lead many scientists to adopt the simpler rules of the revolutionary heliocentric model.
Modern physics appears to be on the verge of a similar revolution because the discoveries of dark matter and dark energy are extremely difficult to integrate into its current theoretical models.
As Thomas S. Kuhn points out failure of an existing paradigm is a prelude to the search for a new one.
"The Reality of the Fourth Spatial Dimension" is the beginning of one of those searches.
It demonstrates that one can seamlessly integrate the observations of dark matter and dark energy into a theoretical model based on the existence of four spatial dimensions whereas can not in terms of the current four-dimensional space-time model.
Additionally, it provides a logically consistent explanation of other observations that today's paradigms cannot. For example, no one using them can define a consistent mechanism responsible for the wave particle duality of mass/energy.
However, it shows by extrapolating the classical laws of three-dimensional space to a fourth spatial dimension one can define that mechanism.
One thing you should be aware of, this book is not meant to define the answers to the many questions that cannot be found in today's paradigms. Instead we hope it will serve as a guide or a road map for further research into them. It relies less on mathematics and more on conceptual logic and thought experiments (much like Albert Einstein did) to show how one can explain and predict all modern observations by extrapolating the rules defining classical three-dimensional space to a fourth spatial dimension.
