The author discovered the key solution that led to what he only now calls Quantum-Relativity (qr) at nine years of age. It was too great a burden for a nine-year-old to deal with and the author decided to leave the issue until later in his life. The author became an electrical engineer with his own company designing and manufacturing highly specialized electronic instruments for the energy industry. In 2007, the author sold his company and at the age of 57, he took up the full-time theoretical work that led, as a mere by-product of that overall work, to the development of what he now writes as a paper entitled "The Unified Theory of Numbers and the Arithmetic of Clocks", which new approach to number theory trivialises the apparently great puzzle of quantum-relativity.
