Book Synopsis A Universe from Nothing by : Lawrence M. Krauss
Download or read book A Universe from Nothing written by Lawrence M. Krauss and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-01-10 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bestselling author and acclaimed physicist Lawrence Krauss offers a paradigm-shifting view of how everything that exists came to be in the first place. “Where did the universe come from? What was there before it? What will the future bring? And finally, why is there something rather than nothing?” One of the few prominent scientists today to have crossed the chasm between science and popular culture, Krauss describes the staggeringly beautiful experimental observations and mind-bending new theories that demonstrate not only can something arise from nothing, something will always arise from nothing. With a new preface about the significance of the discovery of the Higgs particle, A Universe from Nothing uses Krauss’s characteristic wry humor and wonderfully clear explanations to take us back to the beginning of the beginning, presenting the most recent evidence for how our universe evolved—and the implications for how it’s going to end. Provocative, challenging, and delightfully readable, this is a game-changing look at the most basic underpinning of existence and a powerful antidote to outmoded philosophical, religious, and scientific thinking.
Book Synopsis Gravity Is the Thing by : Jaclyn Moriarty
Download or read book Gravity Is the Thing written by Jaclyn Moriarty and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2019-07-23 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of Real Simple’s Best Books of the Year “I loved this book. . . . Funny, heartbreaking and clever with a mystery at its heart.” —Jojo Moyes “With an eye as keen for human idiosyncrasies as Miranda July’s, and a sense of humor as bright and surprising as Maria Semple’s, this is a novel of pure velocity.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) Twenty years ago, Abigail Sorenson’s brother Robert went missing one day before her sixteenth birthday, never to be seen again. That same year, she began receiving scattered chapters in the mail of a self-help manual, the Guidebook, whose anonymous author promised to make her life soar to heights beyond her wildest dreams. The Guidebook’s missives have remained a constant in Abi’s life—a befuddling yet oddly comforting voice through her family’s grief over her brother’s disappearance, a move across continents, the devastating dissolution of her marriage, and the new beginning as a single mother and café owner in Sydney. Now, two decades after receiving those first pages, Abi is invited to an all-expenses paid weekend retreat to learn “the truth” about the Guidebook. It’s an opportunity too intriguing to refuse. If Everything is Connected, then surely the twin mysteries of the Guidebook and a missing brother must be linked? What follows is completely the opposite of what Abi expected––but it will lead her on a journey of discovery that will change her life––and enchant readers. Gravity Is the Thing is a smart, unusual, wickedly funny novel about the search for happiness that will break your heart into a million pieces and put it back together, bigger and better than before.
Book Synopsis Gravity from the Ground Up by : Bernard Schutz
Download or read book Gravity from the Ground Up written by Bernard Schutz and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-12-04 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book invites the reader to understand our Universe, not just marvel at it. From the clock-like motions of the planets to the catastrophic collapse of a star into a black hole, gravity controls the Universe. Gravity is central to modern physics, helping to answer the deepest questions about the nature of time, the origin of the Universe and the unification of the forces of nature. Linking key experiments and observations through careful physical reasoning, the author builds the reader's insight step-by-step from simple but profound facts about gravity on Earth to the frontiers of research. Topics covered include the nature of stars and galaxies, the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy, black holes, gravitational waves, inflation and the Big Bang. Suitable for general readers and for undergraduate courses, the treatment uses only high-school level mathematics, supplemented by optional computer programs, to explain the laws of physics governing gravity.

Book Synopsis The Myth of Gravity by : Gregory Lessing Garrett
Download or read book The Myth of Gravity written by Gregory Lessing Garrett and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-12-09 with total page 814 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over the past 500 years, most world education systems continue to this day to teach little-to-none of Flat Earth history and Cosmology connecting to this rich history of all our common pasts. Why would they not want us to know the narrative of our existence where the Sun, the Moon, and the Stars were placed in the sky above to help guide and assist us? Why is there this conspicuously massive omission in taught history of The Enclosed Cosmological Model? If it is archaic history, then teach it as such. But, it has been completely scrubbed from the historical record, apart from being mocked and ridiculed by all institutions of both lower and higher learning. Ask yourself, why? Thousands of classes on Greek Mythology are readily available to anyone in every country. You can learn about Zeus's Lightning Bolts, the One-Eyed Cyclops, Medusa's snake filled hair, and just about any other imaginary and mythological creature and idea possible, but never about The Flat Earth Model and the mathematical mechanics behind it. If it's a crazy myth, then simply throw it into Mythology 101 at your local college. But no, this never happens. Again, why? If it is as crazy as Greek Mythology, then just say so and teach it. But no, this does not happen. Contrarily, what would anyone gain by creating a Heliocentric myth that states we should feel insignificant, small, and just one of billions, and billions, and billions of other planets, stars, and potential forms of life? The answer is short: Power. If you were in power, would you want the minions one day to take over your power base that has been created over hundreds, if not thousands of years? Would it not benefit you, as tyrant, to teach a version of The Cosmos which convinces all who are under your subjugation to feel powerless, insignificant, and meaningless as they drift in a vast, chaotic, and hostile Cosmos, where their only hope of survival was to obey you and submit to your edicts and laws? The fact is that the self-appointed powers in charge of this world employ propaganda, monetary policy, organized religion, and infotainment to mesmerized the mases. They wish to keep us fully disempowered as to our highest potential by severing us from any knowledge that we were literally created to exits at the epicenter of God's Creation. From Copernicus, all the way to the creation of The Big Bang Theory by Jesuit/Catholic priest, Father George Lemaitre, The Vatican and the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) have had, and still to this day, have a vast and sweeping influence in all things related to Astronomy, Astrophysics, and space observation. In fact, it was Father George Lamaitre, not Albert Einstein, who in 1922 created the scientific "provable" science behind our current Pantheistic Evolutionary explanation of how our world came to be. Vatican control exists at the center of the spider's web, without a doubt. The epistemological cartels behind the idea of Gravity, such as The Royal Society of London, as well as other The Masonic fraternities, have a vested interest in Gravity existing as the sole foundational connective tissue and explanation for The Heliocentric Theory, The Big Bang Theory, Evolutionary Theory, as well as their agenda for the certain possibility of alien life All their occult science ideologies rest upon the idea that Gravity is real. And so, all institutions of higher learning, private businesses, think tanks, corporations, Hollywood, NASA, etc... under the influence and pressure of epistemological cartels, such as The Royal Society of London, are only funded if they assert that Gravity is real for the benefit of the agendas of The Scientific Autocracy that funds them. And The Myth of Gravity explains the backstory behind this Masonic Heliocentric deception, as well as the mathematical trickery involved in perpetrating it.
Book Synopsis Self Gravity: The Major Investigation Gap in Life Science by : Iresh Ranjan Bhattacharjee
Download or read book Self Gravity: The Major Investigation Gap in Life Science written by Iresh Ranjan Bhattacharjee and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With advent of sophisticated equipment we know much in life science, but in many aspects we understand little, consider unexplained phenomena as gift of nature. But nature cannot act in self styled spontaneous manner. It should obey certain defined physical rules. Simple classical chemical reactions failed to solve various natural puzzles. Nature keeps continuity in the formation of universe to tiny creatures up to smallest bacteria, virus or plasmid. Role of invisible force of self gravity in life science has been explored from terrestrial environment to journey through space microgravity and detailed in the book that may help to explore options, manage solutions and optimize results for better management of health and well being of living bodies. Potential binding energy of self gravity that acts universally on mass is the factor that keeps such continuity which can no longer be denied. Various century-old biological conundrums have been resolved through astrophysical principles on incorporation of concept on self gravity. Book is thus must reading for academicians, practitioners and students not only of all disciplines of life science but also to all branches of physical science

Book Synopsis The Gravity Connection by : Robert Dean Burlison II
Download or read book The Gravity Connection written by Robert Dean Burlison II and published by Robert Dean Burlison II. This book was released on with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once gravity is explained, it leads to (connects) the UFO. Do they exist based on can one be built? Further connections yield new physics theory. The ultimate connection explains thru science how God's existence is feasible and a scenario for Creation going back before the Big Bang and before Time. As an experiment in thought (because one cannot do the experiments in a lab), there are dead ends, but the general concepts are sound. Reviewed twice, the visible review by that guy who knows the author well is in fact by the author, me. The other review is in the from of the book which is NOT in the FREE PREview. All I will say is that, though much was over his education I had proved what I set out to prove. He is NOT stupid. In fact his email domain is @illinois.gov. The book was typed in 1989 but I lost Faith due to little me actually dealing with God. I copyrighted in 2007. NOW, circa 2017 so called Scientists are claiming to have proved God. They did not give one equation, diagram, engineering or scientific analogy (parable). They just added more circumstantial evidence of a "Creator" which common man did not know. So I tried to message the publisher and added another piece of circumstantial evidence. If God had provided 5% less mass of atmosphere the density at ground / Kitty Hawk level would NOT have allowed the Wright Brothers to succeed with minimal power. Yes birds would still be able to fly. So would modern jets and EVEN World War One aircraft. But NO. We would NOT be flying today because the Wright Brothers proved it impossible. I gave you the story from before TIME of God appearing gradually by vacuum genesis, refining His operation system to Windows 100 at which time He suddenly realized "I AM THAT I AM"...self realization....the Alpha beginning of TIME....the first "Mind" to keep track of time. However God knows that there is a reverse to vacuum genesis. TIME (eternity) is God's Lifespan but it may not be Forever. "I am the Alpha & Omega". My point" There are those who say "God id DEAD" Well that is very grave, but at least the believe enough to put flowers on His Grave. God's substance is actually particles of ether and I did not explain why Michelson Morley Experiment failed because the simple reason popped into my mind during a walk and i had no way to write it down. I forgot why. Ether particles are arranged to form larger particles of spirit, God's Spirit body. God in-turn, there being NOTHING else in space, used part of his spirit substance (His own body which is a sphere NOT in MAN'S Image but His own) To CREATE matter and energy, the Universe which is enclosed by His spherical being and finally LIFE +YOU. POINT. If God dies..the Omega...His spirit substance breaks down into just common ether of empty space. Hey WE ARE MADE OF STAR STUFF as Dr. Carl Sagan said. But God first made Stars ("Let there be Light") and also maintains their existence with His own body. OK not to spoon feed you, when God dies ALL disappears without a "POOF" because if God was never here we certainly were not. The History hard drive is erased. TIME again does not exist. Yes the + and - ether particles (I called then itties from "Ittie bittie spider) remain in space with the "true void" third particle between (Like the empty space between racked pool balls or in a crystal lattice.). The before and after pictures of the Alpha & Omega are identical, just blackness waiting for vacuum genesis of (step 1) a new God identical to the DEAD God which never was. My eBook is low priced considering the 5 years to write, condense by tossing much insight into the trash and package so logic comes full circle. Yet one man who was teaching himself physics contacted me and I have one "fan" in Brazil. For over a decade zero sales, not even the woman who said "If God exists, prove it with science". NOW, unlike thos elater comer scientists, I do not claim to have proved God exist, but only that it is FEASIBLE. But hey. You are mortal. I am pointing a gun between you eyes. It is FEASIBLE that a bullet might come out. So I still have Great Faith but had no hope after a frustrating decade sharing the Website like talking to the wall. However today my hope is back for both me and you. Google now has a way to list book genres and I listed over 80. Yes no matter your specialty, the book comes full circle. Set up dominoes in a big circle. Each domino is a piece of knowledge which may match one of your own. If you knock over (grasp) one domino anywhere around the circle the rest fall sequentially around the FULL CIRCLE so you are able to piece many of the dominoes together & know some of the Spiritual game plan. So how can a 260 page book address 80+ genres? From the book "Everything is related to EVERYTHING." Learn how God "sees" , takes the shape of a wise old man on a cloud or a burning bush when addressing select individuals. The book shows it as a square wave just as computer data is transmitted serially. God's communication medium is actually GRAVITY.which carried the information N times faster than radio at light speed. N = Infinity or instantaneous quantum leaps from point A to B. Data bit move thru our brains at the speed of light until reaching a nerve cell where the data bit must wait for a chemical reation (to avoid a computer race problem). Now scale this up to God's massive mind. Remember it is a sphere around that big thing called the UNIVERSE. In God's Mind light speed is replaced by those instantaneous leaps. I call these quantum s (different distances like 1, 10, 100, 1000 Parsecs) instantaneousness. Yes Light speed is used too, but as the slow chemical reaction before entering one of God's memory locations (nerve cells). God's thought flows around the sphere by instantaneousness. A slight warp of the sphere like one of our eye balls can focus God's vision on and point but He focuses INSIDE the ball rather than outside and in just one direction like our eyes. Hey, maybe i should charge more for this "about the book" and just give the actual book away free. So I will end by telling how I know my physics are correct. 3 times at different points during the writing I diagramed Einstein's Expansion-Contraction Gravity Wave. It is difficult to show except as a cross-section and that is why I used a common square wave as mentioned above. Also did Jesus have any medical education? His Fathe r, God had to send data of how He Created Man, what the sickness or deformity looked like because can "see" into you, down to the subatomic where gravity is generated. Also the square wave is just oscillating electricity. Can it not be rectified into DC power, the POWER and data to Heal sent simultaneously. But to Heal Jesus had to move human tissue or kill germs maybe by removing DNA. No it wass not really a square wave but a gravity wave because gravity CAN MOVE THINGS or jiggle a brain cell in Jesus to give a bit (or byte) of information.Before healing the blind man Jesus put mud in his eyes. Just matter to replace the damaged tissuess in the blind eyes. God also sent Jesus data on how to change the elements in mud into the elements needed for new eye tissue. No a MUD BOMB is not a good Nuclear Deterrence, but think about it. If Alchemy of any element were possible for Mankind to do would it not have blown the blind man's head off?

OH, to further help you grasp, that circle of dominoes is big while the individual domino is small. Lets saw God's huge "Library of Congress" has a locked door to each subject room. A door is big and hard to break thru. But the door lock is small and you could easily open the door if not for the locked lock. So, what is even smaller than that lock? The KEY. That is what my book is. KEY to the Universe and God being a Natural part. What is OUTSIDE the universe or sphere "Skull of the Universe, God" is beyond the scope of the book because bubble theory would anger those who say "there shall be no other God(s) than Me". Well there are because infinity keeps going beyond just "the " universe. Inside spheres such as the one right next to our god other life may have been created by that god. But it is no skin off my teeth because that god did not create me or you. The other gods way into infinity are other people's or beings' fathers, NOT our father God. It is beyond my tiny brain (yes tiny for God sent me insights for the book) to figure out if God speaks or can speak to His neighbor gods. I doubt it for standing in a crowd you can speak to those beside you but not to a person 15 feet away and hidden by other faces. Continuing, ".....no other god but ME for I am a jealous God". Wouldn't you be jealous if the government, employment statistics, candidates, military, entertainers considered you just a number, a percentage, just one vote, expendable grunt or fan? Hmmm. Do you wonder if God understands the feeling of being just a number in infinite number of other numbers? God Created us because He was lonely. Yes first came Angels but they I guess are more like yes men or the "pleasant" robot voice that answers the phone.

Book Synopsis Gravity - How Gravity Is Created by : Peter Roberts
Download or read book Gravity - How Gravity Is Created written by Peter Roberts and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first reasoned, and supported theory ever published explaining how gravity is created. Neither Newton nor Einstein could do this. Whereas relativity is a theory that explains how matter responds to gravity, this book describes how gravity is created and the mechanisms by which gravity exerts its influence on matter from atoms to planets, stars, and galaxies. It also provides, again, for the first time, a mechanism for inertia and momentum and discusses an improved version of Newton's equation. All in simple language that anyone can understand. Written without mathematics for everyone from students to professional astronomers, this book has received many unsolicited five-star rating testimonials, from youngsters to PhD scientists, many of which are reproduced on its second and third pages, including: "Newton was reported to have stated that his work was relevant only because he could stand on the shoulders of past giants. Your work is, of course, a step beyond. [H.G.K.]"

Download or read book The Gravity of Sin written by Matt Jenson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2007-02-08 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Matt Jenson argues that the image of being 'curved in on oneself' is the best paradigm for understanding sin relationally, that it has sufficient explanatory breadth and depth to be of service to contemporary Christian theology. He looks to Augustine as the Christian source for this image in his various references to humanity's turn to itself, though the threads of a relational account of sin are not drawn together with any systematic consequence until Martin Luther's description of 'homo incurvatus in se' in his commentary on Romans. Luther radicalizes Augustine's conception by applying this relational view of sin to the totus homo and by emphasizing its appearance, above all, in homo religiosus. The Western tradition of sin understood paradigmatically as pride has been recently called into question by feminist theologians. Daphne Hampson's critique of Luther on this front is considered and critiqued. Though she is right to call attention to the insufficiency of his and Augustine's myopic focus on pride, the question remains whether 'incurvatus in se' can operate paradigmatically as an umbrella concept covering a far wider range of sins. Karl Barth's extension of 'incurvatus in se' to apply more broadly to pride, sloth and falsehood suggests that incurvature can do just that.
Book Synopsis Modifications of Einstein's Theory of Gravity at Large Distances by : Eleftherios Papantonopoulos
Download or read book Modifications of Einstein's Theory of Gravity at Large Distances written by Eleftherios Papantonopoulos and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-11-04 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last few years modified gravity theories have been proposed as extensions of Einstein's theory of gravity. Their main motivation is to explain the latest cosmological and astrophysical data on dark energy and dark matter. The study of general relativity at small scales has already produced important results (cf e.g. LNP 863 Quantum Gravity and Quantum Cosmology) while its study at large scales is challenging because recent and upcoming observational results will provide important information on the validity of these modified theories. In this volume, various aspects of modified gravity at large scales will be discussed: high-curvature gravity theories; general scalar-tensor theories; Galileon theories and their cosmological applications; F(R) gravity theories; massive, new massive and topologically massive gravity; Chern-Simons modifications of general relativity (including holographic variants) and higher-spin gravity theories, to name but a few of the most important recent developments. Edited and authored by leading researchers in the field and cast into the form of a multi-author textbook at postgraduate level, this volume will be of benefit to all postgraduate students and newcomers from neighboring disciplines wishing to find a comprehensive guide for their future research.
