Download or read book Black Marbles and Bright Energy written by Thomas Moore and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-03-29 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The science of cosmology - why our universe is what it is - abounds with unanswered questions. -What is Dark Matter? -What is Dark Energy? -What is the structure of a Black Hole? -Why is the rate of expansion of the universe increasing? This book provides answers to these questions and many others by proposing an original approach called Black Marble Theory. It is a simple, elegant, and non-mathematical idea that can be easily understood by a non-technical reader. The fundamental proposition is simply that matter can exist in a different state than the ordinary matter that we can see in the universe. It is called "Black Matter." It is produced when all of the space is compressed out of Ordinary Matter by extreme gravity. If there is enough Ordinary Matter to start with, the Black Matter will form a solid sphere called a "Black Marble." Black Marbles form the center of Black Holes. From this basic idea, the theory follows logical steps that provide clear and plausible explanations of the most profound mysteries that confront Physics today. It explains the structure of the Black Hole, the formation of galaxies, and the Big Bang itself! The theory also provides a surprisingly simple explanation of the source and fuel of the Dark Energy that propels the expansion of the universe. In an hour of easy reading, it will become clear... Why our universe is just what it appears to be.

Download or read book The Matter of History written by Timothy J. LeCain and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-07-31 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New insights into the microbiome, epigenetics, and cognition are radically challenging our very idea of what it means to be 'human', while an explosion of neo-materialist thinking in the humanities has fostered a renewed appreciation of the formative powers of a dynamic material environment. The Matter of History brings these scientific and humanistic ideas together to develop a bold, new post-anthropocentric understanding of the past, one that reveals how powerful organisms and things help to create humans in all their dimensions, biological, social, and cultural. Timothy J. LeCain combines cutting-edge theory and detailed empirical analysis to explain the extraordinary late-nineteenth century convergence between the United States and Japan at the pivotal moment when both were emerging as global superpowers. Illustrating the power of a deeply material social and cultural history, The Matter of History argues that three powerful things - cattle, silkworms, and copper - helped to drive these previously diverse nations towards a global 'Great Convergence'.

Download or read book Rethinking Darkness written by Nick Dunn and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-10-28 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the concept of darkness through a range of cultures, histories, practices and experiences. It engages with darkness beyond its binary positioning against light to advance a critical understanding of the ways in which darkness can be experienced, practised and conceptualised. Humans have fundamental relationships with light and dark that shape their regular social patterns and rhythms, enabling them to make sense of the world. This book ‘throws light’ on the neglect of these social patterns to emphasize how the diverse values, meanings and influences of darkness have been rarely considered. It also examines the history of our relationship with the dark and highlights how normative attitudes towards it have emerged, while also emphasising its cultural complexity by considering a contemporary range of alternative experiences and practices. Challenging notions of darkness as negative, as the antithesis of illumination and enlightenment, this book explores the rich potential of darkness to stimulate our senses and deepen our understandings of different spaces, cultural experiences and creative engagements. Offering a rich exploration of an emergent field of study across the social sciences and humanities, this book will be useful for academics and students of cultural and media studies, design, geography, history, sociology and theatre who seek to investigate the creative, cultural and social dimensions of darkness.
Download or read book Earth at Night written by National Aeronautics and Space Administration and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-12-26 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dazzling photographs and images from space of our planet's nightlights have captivated public attention for decades. In such images, patterns are immediately seen based on the presence or absence of light: a distinct coastline, bodies of water recognizable by their dark silhouettes, and the faint tendrils of roads and highways emanating from the brilliant blobs of light that are our modern, well-lit cities. For nearly 25 years, satellite images of Earth at night have served as a fundamental research tool, while also stoking public curiosity. These images paint an expansive and revealing picture, showing how humans have illuminated and shaped the planet in profound ways since the invention of the light bulb 140 years ago.

Download or read book Tropical House Design Handbook written by ETIK2A and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-01-31 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Packed with accessible information, this book covers all the technical and practical aspects of home design in tropical environments. It begins by outlining the prerequisites needed to understand the issues involved (climate, heat, thermal comfort, etc.) and discusses the solutions offered by traditional housing. It then identifies current solutions for protecting buildings and their occupants from solar radiation and external heat, while promoting bioclimatic and environmentally friendly approaches. The economic viability of the solutions identified is discussed, as are the advantages and disadvantages of the materials, depending on the context and standards in force. Numerous examples illustrate how buildings can be adapted to local realities, from the avant-garde creations of Jean Prouvé to those of today’s architects who are committed to sustainable development, as well as specific projects incorporating the recommendations made in this book. More than 460 photos, drawings, diagrams, tables, maps, house plans, logos and pictograms illustrate this reference work for all those involved in construction in tropical regions, particularly students in the field and, more generally, anyone – from professionals to private individuals – looking for useful information on this subject.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The industry-standard guide to designing well-performing buildings Architectural Detailing systematically describes the principles by which good architectural details are designed. Principles are explained in brief, and backed by extensive illustrations that show you how to design details that will not leak water or air, will control the flow of heat and water vapor, will adjust to all kinds of movement, and will be easy to construct. This new third edition has been updated to conform to International Building Code 2012, and incorporates current knowledge about new material and construction technology. Sustainable design issues are integrated where relevant, and the discussion includes reviews of recent built works that extract underlying principles that can be the basis for new patterns or the alteration and addition to existing patterns. Regulatory topics are primarily focused on the US, but touch on other jurisdictions and geographic settings to give you a well-rounded perspective of the art and science of architectural detailing. In guiding a design from idea to reality, architects design a set of details that show how a structure will be put together. Good details are correct, complete, and provide accurate information to a wide variety of users. By demonstrating the use of detail patterns, this book teaches you how to design a building that will perform as well as you intend. Integrate appropriate detailing into your designs Learn the latest in materials, assemblies, and construction methods Incorporate sustainable design principles and current building codes Design buildings that perform well, age gracefully, and look great Architects understand that aesthetics are only a small fraction of good design, and that stability and functionality require a deep understanding of how things come together.
