UFOs
Have you ever wondered if we are alone in the universe, and if not, are alien races already visiting the Earth? Only when we have a basic knowledge and understanding of the topic can we make an informed decision on whether UFOs are real, and this book will help the reader make that choice. It will offer a basic, but broad overview of the UFO phenomenon from ancient times to modern, including UFO-related topics such as crop circles and the mysterious men in black. Read about the witnesses, the scientists and even the astronauts who have all become convinced that we are being visited by alien races, and have been for many thousands of years, and that the proof is staring us in the face. NASA astronaut Scott Carpenter..... "At no time while they were in space, were the astronauts alone. There was constant surveillance by UFOs." Former US Senator, Harry Reid..... "Are they a threat? I don't know. But what I do know is that we can't just turn our heads and say they don't exist, because they do exist." NASA scientist, Richard Whitcombe..... "Alien occupation of the Moon, either now or historically, is openly discussed and debated by NASA scientists. And in unguarded moments, some of them will admit their belief that these structures are of intelligent origin."
The Asteroid Hunter
A "captivating, behind-the-scenes account" (Sara Seager) of NASA's historic OSIRIS-REx mission to return an asteroid sample and unlock the mystery of formation on life on earth braided with the remarkable life story of the mission's leader, Dr. Dante Lauretta. Now in paperback with an EXCITING BONUS CHAPTER! On September 11, 1999, humanity made a monumental discovery in the vastness of space. Scientists uncovered an asteroid of immense scientific importance--a colossal celestial entity. As massive as an aircraft carrier and towering as high as the iconic Empire State Building, this cosmic titan was later named Bennu. Remarkable for much more than its size, Bennu belonged to a rare breed of asteroids capable of revealing the essence of life itself. But just as Bennu became a beacon of promise, researchers identified a grave danger. Hurtling through space, it threatens to collide with our planet on September 24, 2182. Leading the expedition was Dr. Dante Lauretta, the Principal Investigator of NASA's audacious OSIRIS-REx Asteroid Sample Return Mission. Tasked with unraveling Bennu's mysteries, his team embarked on a daring quest to retrieve a precious sample from the asteroid's surface -- one that held the potential to not only unlock the secrets of life's origins but also to avert an unprecedented catastrophe. A tale of destiny and danger, The Asteroid Hunter chronicles the high-stakes mission firsthand, narrated by Dr. Lauretta. It offers readers an intimate glimpse into the riveting exploits of the mission and Dr. Lauretta's wild, winding personal journey to Bennu and back. Peeling back the curtain on the wonders of the cosmos, this enthralling account promises a rare glimpse into the tightly woven fabric of scientific exploration, where technical precision converges with humanity's profound curiosity and indominable spirit.
Downwind of the Atomic State
2024 Outstanding Academic Title, given by Choice ReviewsHow the scientific community overlooked, ignored, and denied the catastrophic fallout of decades of nuclear testing in the American West In December of 1950, President Harry Truman gave authorization for the Atomic Energy Commission to conduct weapons tests and experiments on a section of a Nevada gunnery range. Over the next eleven years, more than a hundred detonations were conducted at the Nevada Test Site, and radioactive debris dispersed across the communities just downwind and through much of the country. In this important work, James C. Rice tells the hidden story of nuclear weapons testing and the negligence of the US government in protecting public health. Downwind of the Atomic State focuses on the key decisions and events shaping the Commission's mismanagement of radiological contamination in the region, specifically on how the risks of fallout were defined and redefined, or, importantly, not defined at all, owing to organizational mistakes and the impetus to keep atomic testing going at all costs. Rice shows that although Atomic Energy Commission officials understood open-air detonations injected radioactive debris into the atmosphere, they did not understand, or seem to care, that the radioactivity would irrevocably contaminate these communities. The history of the atomic Southwest should be a wake-up call to everyone living in a world replete with large, complex organizations managing risky technological systems. The legacy of open-air detonations in Nevada pushes us to ask about the kinds of risks we are unwittingly living under today. What risks are we being exposed to by large organizations under the guise of security and science?
The Random Universe
An award-winning astrophysicist looks at how the understanding of uncertainty and randomness has led to breakthroughs in our knowledge of the cosmos All of us understand the world around us by constructing models, comparing them to observations, and drawing conclusions. Scientists create, test, and replace these models by applying the twinned concepts of probability and randomness. Exploring how this process has refined our knowledge of quantum mechanics and the birth of the universe, Andrew H. Jaffe offers a unique synthesis of the philosophy of epistemology, the mathematics of probability, and the science of cosmology. As Jaffe puts Enlightenment thinkers like David Hume in conversation with contemporary philosophers such as Karl Popper and Imre Lakatos and engages with scientists ranging from Isaac Newton and Galileo to Albert Einstein and Arthur Eddington, he uses Thomas Bayes's seminal studies of statistics and probability to make sense of conflicting currents of thought. This is a deep look into how we have learned to account for uncertainty in our search for knowledge--and a reminder that science is not about facts and data as such but about creating models that correctly account for those facts and data.
The Conversation on Extreme Weather
From contributors to The Conversation, a timely collection of essays on how extreme weather events will impact the environment--and our lives.As extreme weather events grow in frequency and intensity, climate science has made significant strides in understanding their underlying causes. In The Conversation on Extreme Weather, editor Jennifer A. Horney collects essays from The Conversation by scholars and experts that explore how climate change contributes to record-breaking storms, heat waves, droughts, and floods. These essays highlight the latest advances in attribution studies, which can now quantify the impact of human-caused climate change on individual weather events, such as Hurricane Helene's historic rainfall. Changing weather patterns interact in dangerous ways--droughts are followed by floods, cascading disasters like landslides are triggered by wildfires, and "weather whiplash" threatens crops and economies alike. As populations grow in vulnerable areas, the risks multiply, requiring collaboration among scientists, governments, and communities to effectively manage and mitigate these new realities. With this essential guide, readers will gain a deeper understanding of how extreme weather events are reshaping our world and learn what we can do to prepare for the future.The Critical Conversations series collects essays from top scholars on timely topics, including water, biotechnology, gender diversity, gun culture, and more, originally published on the independent news site The Conversation.
Beasts of the Sky
Often the sky is conceptualised as a place of infinite possibilities, past the limits of our scientific explorations - and into the realms of our fiction and speculation; it is the site for our thoughts on the future, of the extra-terrestrial and beyond. Our representations in the media of space, sky and the infinite invariably mediate social and cultural anxieties that are current, looming and indeed threatening. These concerns range from the environment and fears of ecosystem collapse; the nuclear arms and space race; modernity, utopia and dystopia.Beasts of the Sky: Strange Sightings from the Stratosphere is the third and final collection in the Beasts series. This collection offers its readers an in-depth and interdisciplinary engagement with the skies above and their monstrous inhabitants, through critical readings of science fiction and popular culture - through the media of film, television, popular music, digital games and animation.Within this collection there are a multitude of convergent critical perspectives used to engage and explore fictional and real monstrosities of the sky and space in media. As with previous collections, Skies features chapters from a variety of academic perspectives; genre and narrative, textual analysis, spectatorship and reception, Tolkien studies, performance studies, digital media and indeed fiction are featured. Under examination are a wide range of narratives and media forms that represent, reimagine and create subjects as varied as the threat of nuclear weapons, sightings of UFOs, space exploration and flying creatures.

Impact of Climate Variability on Pseudotsuga Menziesii (Mirb) Franco in Northern Mexico
A Crack in Everything
A Crack in Everything is the story of how black holes came in from the cold and took cosmic centre stage. As a journalist, Marcus Chown interviews many of the scientists who made the key discoveries, and, as a former physicist, he translates the most esoteric of science into everyday language. The result is a uniquely engaging page-turner that tells one of the great untold stories in modern science. What is space? What is time? Where did the universe come from? The answers to mankind's most enduring questions may lie in science's greatest enigma: black holes. A black hole is a region of space where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. This can occur when a star approaches the end of its life. Unable to generate enough heat to maintain its outer layers, it shrinks catastrophically down to an infinitely dense point. When this phenomenon was first proposed in 1916, it defied scientific understanding so much that Albert Einstein dismissed it as too ridiculous to be true. But scientists have since proven otherwise. In 1971, Paul Murdin and Louise Webster discovered the first black hole: Cygnus X-1. Later, in the 1990s, astronomers found that not only do black holes exist, supermassive black holes lie at the heart of almost every galaxy. It would take another three decades to confirm this phenomenon. On 10 April 2019, a team of astronomers made history by producing the first image of a black hole. A Crack in Everything reconstructs this extraordinary journey.
The "Supreme - Universe" is the Great-grandmother of All Genesis, Part 2. The constructional aspects of the Baby Universe.
This part of the book series, The Supreme - Universe is the Great-grandmother of All Genesis, offers an in-depth exploration of critical concepts in the formation and development of the Universe. It begins by providing technical clarity on the famous equation, E = mc^2 explaining its role in expressing the eternal and unbreakable relationship between the actual Universe and the Supreme - Universe.The book then traces several significant technical milestones during the embryonic stages of the Universe's development, delving into the concept of time and its intricate technicalities. As it progressively advances, the narrative moves toward understanding the distinctiveness of the 1st-energy-belt and the steadiness of energy- barriers, attributed to the flexibility of the constituted energies or unit-value-energies.Wherever the concepts are complex, the book suggests using appropriate drawings, such as those illustrating the Universe-Time-Clock (?tc). These visual aids help explain the key technical points, like the idea of "absoluteness," which is comprehensible standardly through parametric statistics and extreme values (like ∞). The book also explains the construction of the Universal-Time-Clock. Additionally, it provides a simplified cross-sectional view of the actual Universe and its three essential energy belts, which developed in harmony with the momentary nature of energy and time on the Universe-time clock.This part of the book series discussed energy levels and constructional aspects of the 1st-energy-belt, providing technical clarity. Additionally, this section delves into the technical aspects of energy levels within the Supreme - Universe, including pivotal concepts like the Lymph-bubble and Lymphatic-energy in the Influencing Energy Zone (IEsu).A comprehensive analysis of other significant aspects follows, including helicity-energies, energy strings, and the roles of Generic-energy and Genomic-matter. The initial phases of energy, some marked by the 'Nullifying force of energy physics, ' are identified as the impactful actions in the foundation and structuring of the actual Universe.Further chapters explore the Bullwhip effect in forming advanced energy components and widen the constructions of the Gestation Line, which gradually transforms and plays a crucial role in the development of the Universe. The book also critically analyzes the concept of 'equilibrium, ' highlighting its genetic or inherent origin in the Pure energies of the Supreme Universe.The book concludes with discussions on differential values, symmetry, asymmetry, and the energy atmosphere, all of which play pivotal roles in the universe's gestation processes.Through logical explanations based on intelligent beings' standard 3D assessment practices, the book emphasizes that differences in unit-value energies in their Pure state are the fundamental origins of everything, including the formation of the actual Universe. Additionally, this part delves into topics such as Gravity, Waves, Atmosphere, and other subjects that stem from materialistic knowledge, enhancing living beings' perceptible understanding. All these phenomena have direct or indirect connections to energy and its momentary functions. In summary, this part of the book series provides a comprehensive technical and philosophical framework for understanding the Universe's formation, structured energy levels, and the fundamental workings of energy elements that drive its continuous progression.A Call to ReflectionReaders are invited to reflect on the connections between energy, motion, diversity, and existence. The book explores the Supreme Universe as Absolute-Infinite, encouraging a deeper understanding of the forces that shape reality and inviting us to transcend logic for broader philosophical possibilities. =Thanks
THE TRUTH OF THE ORIGIN OF THE UNIVERSE THE ORIGIN OF THE UNIVERSE - CREATION, SCIENCE FICTION OR SCIENCE MADNESS? Volume 1
How Did the Universe Come To existence?The debate between creationism and scientific theories of the origin of the universe has been an ongoing and contentious one. On one side, we have the belief in a divine Creator who is responsible for the creation of the world in six days, as described in the Bible. On the other side, we have scientific theories such as the Big Bang, which posits that the universe began with a massive explosion around 13.8 billion years ago.For those who adhere to the belief in a creator, the concept of a six-day creation holds immense significance. This belief is rooted in faith and is a fundamental tenet of many religious traditions. The idea that a higher power carefully constructed the universe, day by day, is a source of comfort and meaning for many people. Some may argue that the Big Bang theory is nothing more than science fiction or science madness, dismissing it as a fanciful and unsubstantiated idea.Chapter covered in This Book: The Universe.Something Came Out of Nothing.The Mystery of Gravity.The Evolution of the Big-Bang.The Hypothesis of Multiverse.The hypothesis of Multiverse.The Mystery of Our Unique Earth.
THE TRUTH OF THE ORIGIN OF THE UNIVERSE FULLY MATURED FUNCTIONAL CREATION AND THE MIRACULOUS FINELY TUNED YOUNG-EARTH Volume 4
The concept of a matured creation and a finely tuned Earth is a fascinating topic that has sparked much debate in the realms of science, religion, and philosophy. Proponents of this idea argue that the universe and the Earth were created in a state of maturity and perfection, with all the necessary conditions for life to thrive.One of the key arguments for a matured creation is the idea of fine-tuning in the universe. This concept suggests that the fundamental physical constants and laws of nature are precisely calibrated to allow for the existence of life as we know it. For example, if the strength of gravity or the electromagnetic force were even slightly different, life as we know it would not be possible. This level of precision has led some to suggest that a higher power must have orchestrated the creation of the universe with the express purpose of allowing life to flourish on Earth.Moreover, the Earth itself is viewed as a finely tuned machine that provides the perfect conditions for life. From the composition of the atmosphere to the distance of our planet from the sun, everything seems to be finely calibrated to allow for the existence living organisms. The intricate ecosystems that exist on Earth further demonstrate complexity and harmony of this finely tuned planet.Chapters Covered in This Book: Young Universe -Young Earth.Earth's Magnetic Field - Earth Age.Life in a finely Tuned Cosmos.The entity of the Creator.Uranus and Neptune are young planets.101 Evidence for a young Earth.Isaac newton's Recognition of the Creator.
Parallel Worlds
Humanity is fast approaching the point of being able to answer the age-old question: Are we alone in the cosmos? The answer will almost certainly turn out to be 'no'. This is virtually guaranteed by two discoveries made in the last hundred years or so: that the Milky Way is just one of countless galaxies; and that the number of planets beyond our solar system - 'exoplanets' - is vast.But what is extraterrestrial life actually like? What kinds of creatures roam the surfaces of alien planets or swim in their seas? Are they typically in the genre of 'life as we know it', or are they characterized by exotic forms and as-yet undiscovered metabolism? In Parallel Worlds, Wallace Arthur argues that we should expect to find creatures that are similar in broad terms to those of Earth. This can be anticipated because the environments of habitable planets have many parallel features, so Darwinian natural selection should work in parallel ways, producing broadly parallel trees of life.This book takes the form of a step-by-step argument in favour of the hypothesis that there are multiple worlds inhabited by life-forms that are broadly parallel to those of our home planet. Like all good hypotheses, it's testable. The testing won't be easy, and it isn't imminent; but it will happen eventually, providing humanity lasts for long enough.
The Truth of the Origin of the Universe (God's Signature in Dna's Code the Rapture Before the Universal Great Tribulation and World War III)
The concept of God's signature in DNA is a fascinating topic that explores the intricate design and complexity of the human genome. Many creationists and religious believers see the complexity and precision of DNA as evidence of an intelligent designer or creator, pointing to the existence of a higher power. The idea that DNA contains a signature of God's handiwork is a theme often discussed in religious and philosophical circles, highlighting the wonder and mystery of life itself.Moving on to the topics of the Rapture, the Great Tribulation, and the Armageddon War, these concepts are deeply embedded in Christian eschatology, or the study of end times. The Rapture is believed to be the biblical event where believers are taken up to heaven to be with God before a period of tribulation and judgment on earth. The Great Tribulation is a period of intense suffering and turmoil that is prophesied to occur before the final battle of Armageddon, believed by the author to be World War III.These apocalyptic beliefs have captured the imagination of many believers and have inspired countless books, movies, and religious teachings. While interpretations of these events may vary among different Christian denominations, the underlying message of hope, redemption, and faith in the face of adversity remains a central theme.

The Origin of Life: God? - Black Hole? Or Evolution?The origins of life, the mysterious nature of black holes, and the idea of a higher power or God have long fascinated humans. The question of ho life originated on Earth has puzzled scientists for centuries. These topics have sparked numerous debates. Discussions, and theories among theologians, and philosophers alike. We attempt to unravel the mysteries of the universe. We will delve in to the creation, the scientific and the philosophical perspectives on the origins of life, the enigmatic nature of black holes, and the fact of the creator. While each of these subjects is distinct in their own right, there are interesting connections that can be draw among them.Black holes, on the other hand, are some of the most enigmatic objects in the universe. These dense regions of space time have such strong gravitational pulls that not even light can escape them. Scientists have long been intrigued by black holes and continue to study them to unlock their secrets. While black holes are thought to form from the collapse of massive stars, there is still much that remains unknown about these mysterious objects.The existence of God is a topic that has been debates for centuries. The questions of whether a higher power, or deity, exists has divided people for millennia. Some argue that the complexity and beauty of the universe point to an intelligent designer, while other believe that the laws of nature are sufficient to explain the workings of the cosmos. The existence of God is a deeply personal and philosophical questions that continues to captivate believers and skeptics alike.Chapters Covered in This Book: - Intelligent Design in Everyday Reasoning- The Blackhole- The Universe is Finely Tuned for Life- Molecular Intelligent Design- Our Milky way Galaxy- Divine Design

The "Supreme - Universe" is the Great-grandmother of All Genesis, Part 1
The Supreme Universe: Philosophical Insights into the Genesis of ExistenceThis section of the book series explores the profound narrative of the Universe's inception, positioning it as an offspring of the Supreme Universe. It bridges the gap between analytical thought and philosophical intuition, offering readers a lens to comprehend the origins of existence beyond the boundaries of conventional understanding. By weaving objectual terms into a tapestry of meaning, the text invites readers to transcend the limitations of human perception and embrace a broader cosmic perspective.The journey begins with the Supreme Universe, the eternal and flawless progenitor of our actual Universe. To many, the concept of such a primordial strength may seem distant, even fantastical. Yet, this book challenges readers to reimagine their intellectual boundaries. It argues that the evolution of life and consciousness, nurtured within habitable atmospheres, has tethered human logic to a narrow perimeter, one that the Supreme Universe seeks to expand. Unveiling the Creator: The Supreme UniverseThe Supreme Universe is not merely a creator but the eternal foundation of reality. Through the lens of energy, it reveals a timeless truth that the Universe is not a miraculous anomaly but an inevitable manifestation of Pure, unvarnished reality. From this energy perspective, the Universe exists "forever and ever," transcending the transient frameworks of human understanding. Core Philosophical ThemesThe book introduces a series of essential themes and concepts to elucidate the Universe's formation, inviting readers to explore: Pure Energy and Supreme Energy: Delving into the essence of energy as the fundamental fabric of existence.Singularity and the Supreme Universe: Exploring the state of singularity as the genesis of all creation.Eternal and Flawless Reality: Examining the Supreme Universe as an absolute, unchanging state.The Universe as an Offspring: Understanding the Universe as a buoyant state within the Supreme Universe, nurtured in its eternal womb. Philosophical Reflections on Motion, Time, and AbsolutenessThe narrative extends into a philosophical discourse on the eternal vivacity of motion, the interplay of energy and physics values, and the nature of absoluteness. Key reflections include: The State-of-Absoluteness: Contrasting the absoluteness of the Supreme Universe with bio-intellectual absoluteness.Zero and Infinity: Exploring the philosophical implications of terms like 'Zero-Absolute (0abs)' and 'Absolute-Infinity (Abs∞).'Timelessness and Motion: Investigating the relationship between observable time, timelessness, and the dynamic motion of energy across the 1st and 3rd energy belts. Bridging Science, Philosophy, and MythThrough scientific rigor, philosophical insight, and mythic thoughts, the book offers a comprehensive narrative that elucidates the Universe's emergence. It demonstrates that the formation of the Universe, far from being a miracle, is a natural and logical outcome of the Supreme Universe's eternal principles. From an energy perspective, a fundamental reality of intelligent species inhabiting diverse environments within the 2nd-energy-belt or cosmical universes is their evolution or fabrication within inherent limitations. Consequently, their conceptions of existence vary, confined to their respective standards within the vast expanse of the "energy-ocean."

'Alan knows everything, knows everyone, and writes beautifully too.'RICHARD OSMAN 'The man with the contents of the Oxford English Dictionary stored just above his left eyebrow ... and he's quite funny too.'RORY CELLAN-JONES 'A gorgeous, funny tour of the British Isles as seen from the clouds.'KONNIE HUQ For fans of THE ETYMOLOGICON and VERY BRITISH PROBLEMS, a delightfully damp tour of the British Isles. Mizzle. Dreich. Raining knives and forks. A real mugga-fisty. A spot of plother... We Brits love talking about the weather. So much so that our islands have hundreds of words and phrases for rain, some self-explanatory and others that really leave us scratching our heads. From a light smirr in Aberdeen to a "it's raining knives and forks!" in the Brecon Beacons, each type of rain tells a story about the people and places it falls on. In this delightfully damp tour of the British Isles, writer and puddle-splasher Alan Connor digs deep into the meaning and quirky histories of over one hundred words for precipitation. He gets caught in a plash in Northumberland, crashes a fox's wedding in Devon and ponders the phenomenon of Brits-who-picnic-in-the-car, in this charming and witty celebration of our very British obsession.
The Truth Of The Origin Of The Universe (Creation, Science Fiction Or Science Madness?)
How Did the Universe Come to Existence?The debate between creationism and scientific theories of the universe has been an ongoing and contentious one. On one side, we have the belief in a divine Creator who is responsible for the creation of the world in six days, as described in the Bible. On the other side, we have scientific theories such as the Big Bang, which posits that the universe began with a massive explosion around 13.8 billion Years ago.For those who adhere to the belief in a Creator, the concept of a six-day creation holds immense significance. This belief is rooted in faith and is a fundamental tenet of many religious traditions. The idea that a higher power carefully constructed the universe, day by day, is a source of comfort and meaning for many people. Some may argue that the Big Bang theory is nothing more than science fiction or science madness, dismissing it as a fanciful and unsubstantiated idea.Chapters Covered in This Book: - The Universe- Something Came Out of Nothing- The Mystery of Gravity- the Evolution of the The Big- Bang- The Hypothesis of Multiverse- The Mystery of Our Unique Earth
Cosmology - The Past, Present and Future of the Universe
Cosmology, the science of all that exists in the universe, is an interdisciplinary field that seeks to understand the fundamental nature of the universe, that is, how it evolved from its primordial stages, including the Big Bang, to its present state, and its potential future. This quest is driven by centuries of astronomical observations and advanced physical theories. The growing number of ground-based observatories, space-based satellites, and cutting-edge tools like the Hubble Space Telescope, the James Webb Space Telescope, and gravitational wave observatories allow us to look back to the very early stages of our expanding universe, offering unprecedented insights. This book addresses several important cosmological issues, including humanity's enduring search for other advanced civilizations in the cosmos. It highlights the importance of such cosmic exploration and provides a comprehensive understanding of the concept of spacetime within the framework of general relativity. The book introduces a cosmological model that incorporates an evolving curvature term within the standard model of cosmology and presents arguments in favor of a rotating universe, exploring the associated mechanisms of how light and matter could escape from a Kerr black hole. In addition, it delves into modern efforts by cosmologists to uncover the actual shape of the universe-its topology-using the latest data. Finally, the book examines the critical role of quantum field theory in helping theorists build an increasingly robust picture of the cosmos. The editors hope that this scientifically rich and enlightening volume will engage readers and inspire further exploration into the mysteries of the universe.
Dark Skies
New from the popular In the Moment series--in search of the darkest night skies, Anna Levin uncovers a sense of wonder about the universe that will help you to understand more about our own pale blue dot.The darkness of the night represents something unknowable and mysterious. But when we look up, we can find celestial light shows, whole galaxies, and even a new perspective on our Earthly concerns. The night sky offers us an essential connection to something bigger than ourselves, a vast, timeless expanse that extinguishes our individual concerns.Humans have tried to make sense of the night sky since ancient times. From physicists and meteorologists to astrologists, artists, philosophers and poets, it has been a source of inspiration, wonder, and exploration. Now, our access to darkness is under threat, and many of us are flocking to see the stars while we can--in a new wave of 'astrotourism'.In this concise volume, Anna Levin looks at how we can learn from and nurture our relationship with the night sky, even--especially--in the context of our changing world.

The Universe
Mike hopes that his readers will find his views interesting but believes they fall into insignificance faced as we all are with extinction by Global Warming. Our time, money and resources would be far better devoted to fighting Climate Change than attempting to make sense of a Universe which is mostly a 'mirage'! He dares the far too-easily 'awe-struck' press to stop lauding that part of the scientific community preoccupied with a Universe that 'doesn't exist' and to concentrate instead on ways to tackle Global Warming which he elaborates on within.
Deus Ordiri Fundamentum
There is a unifying Pattern that underlies much if not all of science, which manifests itself in the measures of dimension; i.e. time, distance, volume, mass, and of those measures that derive from them. This Pattern arises from a simple geometric progression, based on the numbers 2 and 3. Deus Ordiri Fundamentum-"God Begins, Lays the Order of the Foundation"-traces this Pattern through much of modern science, including: astronomy, physics, geodesy, metrology, cartography, etc., and arrives at the almost inescapable conclusion that mankind did not devise this system, since it is all too perfect; rather, it was given to him by the Creator of the cosmos. Deus Ordiri Fundamentum then proceeds to examine several world-renowned ancient monuments and documents a startling sophistication of knowledge embedded in them that embodies many of the measures from the Pattern. These monuments were specifically designed and built to memorialize much of this vast knowledge-the collected inheritance of a sophisticated civilization. Number and Geometry were central to this process. And, finally, Deus Ordiri Fundamentum examines six carved stelae in the Step Pyramid complex of Saqqara, Egypt, and finds that they hold mankind's deepest held beliefs and understandings, regarding the origins and manifestations of time and the other dimensions that are the framework of our perceived reality.

Spies and Shuttles
Revealing the connections between NASA and the United States defense community In this real life spy saga, James David digs through newly declassified documents to ultimately reveal how NASA became a strange bedfellow to the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Central Intelligence Agency. Beginning with the establishment of NASA in 1958, he follows the agency through its growth, not only in scope but also in complexity, exposing the ties between spaceflight and the intelligence community that have historically remained unexplored. David tracks NASA's early cooperation--supplying cover stories for covert missions, analyzing the Soviet space program, providing weather and other scientific data from its satellites, and monitoring missile tests--and reveals how these extensive interactions eventually devolved into NASA's reliance on DoD for political and financial support for the Shuttle. This riveting book aptly demonstrates that the hidden connections between these entities were far greater and deeper than previously known.

Cosmology for the Curious
This book is a gentle introduction for all those wishing to learn about modern views of the cosmos. Our universe originated in a great explosion - the big bang. For nearly a century cosmologists have studied the aftermath of this explosion: how the universe expanded and cooled down, and how galaxies were gradually assembled by gravity. The nature of the bang itself has come into focus only relatively recently. It is the subject of the theory of cosmic inflation, which was developed in the last few decades and has led to a radically new global view of the universe. Students and other interested readers will find here a non-technical but conceptually rigorous account of modern cosmological ideas - describing what we know, and how we know it. One of the book's central themes is the scientific quest to find answers to the ultimate cosmic questions: Is the universe finite or infinite? Has it existed forever? If not, when and how did it come into being? Will it ever end? The book is based on the undergraduate course taught by Alex Vilenkin at Tufts University. It assumes no prior knowledge of physics or mathematics beyond elementary high school math. The necessary physics background is introduced as it is required. Each chapter includes a list of questions and exercises of varying degree of difficulty. This new edition includes hints for answering the questions and exercises, as well as extensions to the discussions on dark matter, quantum cosmology. A new chapter summarizing the standard cosmological model has also been added.
The Big Bang and the Fine-tuned Universe
In easy-to-understand language, former NASA special projects engineer Robert Alston tackles cosmology's profoundest questions: Where did the universe come from, and how were its laws and constants finely tuned to allow for life? From Albert Einstein's biggest blunder to the perfect parameters that allow fragile life to persevere, this mini-book explores how astronomy and physics point to a cosmic architect.
The Philosophy of Space Policy (With A Case Study of India)
Space activities by governmental agencies require considerable state funding, bear long gestation periods with uncertainty in results. Hence, a directional policy defining long-term goals, embodying national aspirations, and envisaging techno-possibilities for manufacturing and operations is necessary. The policy can enable clarity for internal constituency and international posturing. This book offers hints for policy-making and other options. Its first two sections are pedagogic in content and advisory in approach. First section discusses philosophical perspectives, namely, theoretical, theological, ethical and audit-orial. The second section offers options and initiatives as alternatives or adjuncts to space policy.The second part of the book is a case study of India. It narrates a brief history of national space activities and the journey of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), besides providing a futuristic vision for India and its global stance. In just over half a century, India has achieved acclaimed successes, reached many milestones and established some firsts in space missions. It has, indeed, been a spectacular journey tractioned by ISRO. India never adopted a cogent, comprehensive and futuristic roadmap or policy except for brief mentions in annual budget reports till the announcement of Indian Space Policy, 2023. This primarily is directive and seeks to promote private sector and start-ups in space industry. The last part of the book is an analytical description and critique of this policy with a view to offer improvements. The book will be useful for policy-makers, industry leaders, agency officials, law scholars and space enthusiasts. New and existing space-faring states will find good guidance for governance and policy formulation.
