Book excerpt: Cosmic Colossal, the brainchild of Aishwarya Pandey, is a true roller coaster of a ride as it takes the reader on a journey through the spirit dimension of the universe. Semester, the central character in the novel, is exiled to the earth, and it is through this exile that the spiritual and physical aspects of the universe overlap with each other. The personalities of the story's characters are well-developed to the extent that they help take the reader deep into the ethos of the plot. Whether the reader is a professional scientist or a sci-fi enthusiast, Cosmic Colossal, brings about an awareness that there is more to the universe than what is perceived by the senses. "As a complement to Cosmic Colossal, Francis A. Andrew has chosen to write an appraisal of Sir Fred Hoyle's 1964 book entitled Man in the Universe. The parts of Hoyle's book in which he discourses on the need for humankind to shift emphasis away from the material and on to the spiritual dovetails well with the setting of Cosmic Colossal." - Siddhant Bahuguna

Download or read book The Chemical Cosmos written by Steve Miller and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-10-26 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you have ever wondered how we get from the awesome impersonality of the Big Bang universe to the point where living creatures can start to form, and evolve into beings like you, your friends and your family, wonder no more. Steve Miller provides us with a tour through the chemical evolution of the universe, from the formation of the first molecules all the way to the chemicals required for life to evolve. Using a simple Hydrogen molecule – known as H-three-plus - as a guide, he takes us on a journey that starts with the birth of the first stars, and how, in dying, they pour their hearts out into enriching the universe in which we live. Our molecular guide makes its first appearance at the source of the Chemical Cosmos, at a time when only three elements and a total of 11 molecules existed. From those simple beginnings, H-three-plus guides us down river on the violent currents of exploding stars, through the streams of the Interstellar Medium, and into the delta where new stars and planets form. We are finally left on the shores of the sea of life. Along the way, we meet the key characters who have shaped our understanding of the chemistry of the universe, such as Cambridge physicist J.J. Thomson and the Chicago chemist Takeshi Oka. And we are given an insider’s view of just how astronomers, making use of telescopes and Earth-orbiting satellites, have put together our modern view of the Chemical Cosmos.

Download or read book The Archetypal Cosmos written by Keiron Le Grice and published by Floris Books. This book was released on 2011-06-09 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The modern world is passing through a time of critical change on many levels: cultural, political, ecological and spiritual. We are witnessing the decline and dissolution of the old order, the tumult and uncertainty of a new birth. Against this background, there is an urgent need for a coherent framework of meaning to lead us beyond the growing fragmentation of culture, belief and personal identity. Keiron Le Grice argues that the developing insights of a new cosmology could provide this framework, helping us to discover an underlying order shaping our life experiences. In a compelling synthesis of the ideas of seminal thinkers from depth psychology and the new paradigm sciences, Le Grice positions the new discipline of archetypal astrology at the centre of an emerging world view that reunifies psyche and cosmos, spirituality and science, mythology and metaphysi, and enables us to see mythic gods, heroes and themes in a fresh light. He draws especially on the work of C. G. Jung, Joseph Campbell, Richard Tarnas, Fritjof Capra, David Bohm and Brian Swimme. Heralding a 'rediscovery of the gods' and the passage into a new spiritual era, The Archetypal Cosmos presents a new understanding of the role of myth and archetypal principles in our lives, one that could give a cosmic perspective and deeper meaning to our personal experiences.

Download or read book Visions of the Cosmos written by Various authors and published by Self-Publish. This book was released on 2024-06-30 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Space Opera is a sub-genre of science fiction that emphasizes space warfare, melodramatic adventure, interplanetary battles, and chivalric romance. Using larger-than-life characters, dramatic settings, and sophisticated technology, space opera transports readers into the expanses of a frequently war-torn galaxy where the stakes are as high as the outer limits of the imagination allow. This collection, "Visions of the Cosmos," curates three stellar examples of space opera that not only explore diverse aspects of this expansive genre but also reflect its evolution from simple pulp fiction to complex narratives that address deep philosophical questions. Featured Stories Box-garden This intriguing tale unfolds in a casual setting—a bar—where the narrator meets a man with unusually large ears, obscured by his view of a TV commercial. The story elegantly weaves a social critique of American advertising, equating the nurturing of bonsai in Japan to the manipulative nurturing of consumer behavior through ads. It's a clever juxtaposition that adds a unique, earth-bound flavor to the cosmic scale typical of space operas. F.O.B. Venus This adventurous tale from Nelson S. Bond introduces us to Mr. Lancelot Biggs, a new crew member aboard the space freighter Saturn whose incompetence leads to a series of near-disastrous mishaps. The story infuses traditional space opera elements with humor and unexpected twists, culminating in a miraculous incident where cosmic rays transform worthless cargo into valuable gold, illustrating the unpredictability of space and the fortunes it can hold. The Comet-Drivers In a dramatic narrative filled with cosmic stakes, this story follows the Chief of the Interstellar Patrol on a daring mission to prevent a colossal comet from annihilating the galaxy. Hamilton’s tale is packed with action, heroism, and sacrifice, encapsulating the essence of space opera with its detailed depiction of interstellar warfare and moral dilemmas faced by those who guard the cosmos. Influence in Film and Comics: Space opera has significantly influenced other media, notably in blockbuster films like "Star Wars" and series such as "Star Trek," which mirror the genre’s themes of adventure, moral conflict, and the human spirit. In comics, epic sagas like "Saga" by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples further explore these themes, proving the enduring appeal of space opera’s blend of fantastical escapism and reflective storytelling. Conclusion: "Visions of the Cosmos" offers a gateway into the exhilarating world of space opera, presenting readers with stories that are not only entertaining but also provoke thought about our place in the universe and the choices we make. Whether you're drawn to the quiet reflections of life's daily dramas or the grandiose battles among the stars, this collection promises to ignite your imagination and whisk you off to worlds unknown.
