Open Space
The next space race has arrived--driven by rival nations, billionaire-funded ventures, and breakthrough technologies all vying to alter the balance of power on Earth and beyond. "This isn't science fiction; it's the blueprint for the world we're about to inherit." --Ali Velshi, NBC News senior economic and business correspondent and anchor for MS NOW In 2024, the Odysseus lander touched down near the south pole of the Moon. It was the first lunar landing by Americans in more than half a century--and the first ever by a private company. "Odie" embodied the ambitions of a new genera­tion of space entrepreneurs, as well as Washington's bid to challenge a rising Beijing. A gateway to interplanetary explo­ration and conquest, the Moon is now also open for busi­ness, and the race to level up technology, secure resources, and build off-world infrastructure has begun. First place isn't just a symbolic win, but a strategic path to influence and control. The United States, although turbo­charged by tech elites, risks being outpaced by China, which increasingly aligns commercial enterprise with national secu­rity. Not far behind are Russia, India, Japan, and the Euro­pean Union. In Open Space, journalist and space industry analyst David Ariosto gives us a front-row seat to the future. With unprecedented access, he recounts the split-second deci­sions in mission control and hold-your-breath moments on the launch pad. He travels from research labs orchestrating our planetary defense to an antimatter factory and the Mars Desert Research Station, where scientists imagine how an off-world colony might survive (it involves a diet of bugs). He probes inside the Chinese space sector itself, meeting with key figures and companies and traveling to a remote military station in South America. In this global odyssey, we meet the visionaries who are dreaming up the future and the engineers and physicists who are making science fiction a reality. After millennia of gazing up at the stars, humanity is now forging the tools to travel among them. Propulsive, awe-inspiring, and poignant, Open Space charts this epic journey to the final frontier and looks for our place within it.

Theory of the Four-Dimensional Electromagnetic Universe
Explore the revolutionary theory that redefines our understanding of the universe with ""Theory of the Four-Dimensional Electromagnetic Universe."" This groundbreaking work by Domenico Maglione presents the concept that our universe is a hypersphere composed of four real spatial dimensions. We live in its three-dimensional part, perceiving the fourth spatial dimension not as space but as time. In this enlightening book, Maglione introduces two fundamental postulates that challenge conventional cosmology. The first postulate posits a four-dimensional universe with a privileged reference system centered on the Big Bang, where the expansion of the time dimension occurs at the speed of light in vacuum. The second postulate, the restricted holographic principle, explains how we experience phenomena in the three-dimensional part of the universe differently, though quantitatively proportional, to their true nature in the four-dimensional reality. Readers will explore the derivation of fundamental equations that bridge quantum mechanics and relativity, shedding light on the wave-particle duality of electromagnetic waves and the nature of mass and energy. The book further clarifies how temporal waves, by their radiation pressure, cause the expansion of the universe, offering clear hypotheses on the true nature of dark energy and dark matter. Maglione's theory proposes that the entire universe simplifies into an immense four-dimensional electromagnetic field where static electromagnetic waves, the TWs, oscillate along the fourth dimension perceived as time. This perspective invites a reimagining of the universe as fundamentally composed of light.

Do you pursue scriptures, thirsty for ancient mysteries? Are there enough answers to clarify your revelations? What contradictions are you still facing? Millennia have gone since the secrets of the Ark were lost. Where did it go? What was it anyhow? Without confirmation, science began taunting the Bible. Roadblocks and snares were set for believers. Humanity started questioning. Did science overthrow our doctrines? Where does the timeline of creation stand with modern research? When technology seems to have surpassed spirituality, think again. Religion waits at the finish line. For the first time in history, you will be allowed to see the Ark of the Testimony. The Word of GOD now leads the way. Landing Dove is like a river flowing with answers. It provides scientific proof that the Bible is authentic and divine. This book has your missing links. You can study how quantum mechanics tunes doctrines to the Source of creation. Learn about consulting the Urim and Thummim. You'll explore atomic and molecular physics established by the patriarchs. Then discover evolution and dinosaurs in the scriptures. Translate veils using the Oracle and watch the walls of Jericho fall.

From the Measure Problem of Quantum Mechanics to Renormalization Theory of Quantum Field
The measure problem appears in Quantum mechanics when the experiment shows the duality wave-corpuscle of the light, and so this problem has been expressed by uncertainty principle of Heisenberg, this book treats this problem pursuant Bridgman's dimensional analyses. Thus, one can express similar problem appeared in NCQFT as non integrable Feynman integrals at small inner momentum that is known as UV/IR-mixing problem. One can consider that there is a certain perturbation or vibrational mode of space-time curvature causes the non-integrality, thus a certain correction on the action of QFT becomes necessarily. This correction is realized by Gross-Wulknhaar by an additional term expressed the oscillation of the curved background space in which is manifested as a harmonic oscillator potential term. This book presents the renormalization models at one-loop for gauge field in non-commutative space in which the requirements of constructing these models is that the non-commutative field theory described these models acts as quantum field theory in curved pace-time based essentially on the replacement of commutative algebra of Euclidean space by noncommutative algebra in which the theory simplified to non-commutative field theories in Minkowski space known as 'θ- deformed space' Rθ4 . The truncated Heisenberg algebra yields an interpretation of the relevant oscillation term as the coupling of the scalar field to the curvature. Since the action including the gravity effects as an oscillator term one expects that there is a certain mass, thus we obtain a Lagrangian containing the Higgs potential. Showing therefore in the end of this book, some characteristics of Higgs field and consequences.
Moving Acoustic Sources
This book highlights the mathematical, physical, and technical properties of moving acoustic sources. Authors consider point sources and infinite or finite line sources moving along various curves in three-dimensional space. After studying the general theory of such sources, the frequency spectrum and the associated Doppler shift are derived explicitly for different trajectories. The sound radiation in half-spaces with a locally reacting and homogeneous ground is investigated in detail based on the knowledge of closed-form solutions for the stationary impulse response. An important field of application is the localization of moving sources. Among other approaches, an equivalent source method in the time domain is used to develop an effective source localisation method. Important practical applications are explored with these techniques, e.g. the detection of noise sources from trains and airplanes. The research results published in this book are mainly obtained within the three-year project "Localization and identification of moving noise sources" funded by the German Research Foundation. ​
