Cosmos-Universe-Particle-Gambol Theory
Previously, the author showed a gambol formalism from Cosmos Theory provided a detailed understanding of the form of the Deep Inelastic electron-proton scattering structure function, and also of quark, lepton, and hadron decay and scattering. This book provides a quantum field basis for that work. This book extends the theory of gambols in the study of particles AND universes. The below points give gambols an aspect of reality. Quarks were accepted to explain hadrons although they are confined to hadrons and thus not independent particles in the everyday sense. Gambols are probabilistically confined at a deeper level within quarks, leptons and universes. Gambols are more abstract since they exist as structure within fundamental particles (and composite particles). They seem to exist with highest probability as 8 gambol structures within fundamental particles AND as 1024 gambol structures within gamboled universes. They exhibit a new form of hidden Reality. This book develops many new points: A quantum theory of universes as particles described by a set of gambols.The gambol theory gives a gambol model for the Hubble expansion of the universe based on a new anti-Planckian distribution. The expansion has an initial burst followed by a slow-growth interregnum, which then resumes a larger growth. It explains the "Hubble Tension."A model describing the gamboled growth of mass-energies clumps within our universe. The model offers an understanding of S8 clumping. A model for universes within a Megaverse where the universes are gambols. Our universe then exists as a gambol. (Not a gamble!) A model for universe expansion through the interplay of a Megaverse-based Casimir force and the force of internal universe matter-energy pressure.A model for all the universes of all ten Cosmos spaces. Our universe is one of 5 sibling universes. The model probabilistically makes the number of Cosmos spaces to 10 using a Planckian distribution. There are 23 Cosmos universes in this model.A quantum field theory for particles that embeds quantum gambols within particles as described in the author's Sub-Particles book. Quantum gambols replicate their parent particle's spin and internal symmetries.A free gambol quantum field theory.Gambols have a mass equal to the parent particles mass divided by 8. Universe gambols have a mass equal to the universe's mass divided by 1024. Gambols have a temperature equal to a constant times the parent particle's (or parent universe's) mass. This feature is analogous to Black Hole temperature.The quark core of a neutron star is described in a gambol model.The relation of the pure electromagnetic photon and its rho meson attribute of GVDM are described in a gambol modelThe acquisition of mass by an ElectroWeak vector boson is described by a gambol model.Highly recommended for serious readers!

The Naked Neanderthal
A riveting scientific journey exploring the enigma of the Neanderthal and the species' unique form of intelligence. What do we really know about our cousins, the Neanderthals? For over a century we saw Neanderthals as inferior to Homo Sapiens. More recently, the pendulum swung the other way and they are generally seen as our relatives: not quite human, but similar enough, and still not equal. Now, thanks to an ongoing revolution in paleoanthropology in which he has played a key part, Ludovic Slimak shows us that they are something altogether different -- and they should be understood on their own terms rather than by comparing them to ourselves. As he reveals in this stunning book, the Neanderthals had their own history, their own rituals, their own customs. Their own intelligence, very different from ours. Slimak has travelled around the world for the past thirty years to uncover who the Neanderthals really were. A modern-day Indiana Jones, he takes us on a fascinating archaeological investigation: from the Arctic Circle to the deep Mediterranean forests, he traces the steps of these enigmatic creatures, working to decipher their real stories through every single detail they left behind. A thought-provoking adventure story, written with wit and verve, The Naked Neanderthal shifts our understanding of deep history -- and in the process reveals just how much we have yet to learn.
