Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A riveting tour of the cosmos from one of the brightest minds in astrophysics." —The Washington Post A revolutionary new account of our universe’s creation—and a breathtaking exploration of the landscape from which we sprang—from one of the world’s most celebrated cosmologists What came before the Big Bang, and what exists outside of the universe it created? Until recently, scientists could only guess at what lay past the edge of space-time. However, as pioneering theoretical physicist Laura Mersini-Houghton explains, new scientific tools are now giving us the ability to peer beyond the limits of our universe and to test our theories about what is there. And what we are finding is upending everything we thought we knew about the cosmos and our place in it. Mersini-Houghton is no stranger to boundaries—or to pushing through them. As a child growing up in Communist Albania, she discovered a universe beyond her walled-off world through the study of math and science, and through music. As a female cosmologist in a male-dominated field, she transcended the limits that society and her profession tried to place on her. And as a trailblazing researcher, she helped to revolutionize the study of our universe by revealing that, far from living in a cosmic Albania, with a world that ends at its borders, we are part of a larger family of universes—a multiverse—that holds wonders we are only beginning to unlock. Mersini-Houghton’s groundbreaking research suggests that we sit in a quantum landscape whose peaks and valleys hide a multitude of other universes, and even hold the secret to the origins of existence itself. Recent evidence has revealed the signatures of such sibling universes in our own night sky, confirming Mersini-Houghton’s theoretical work and offering humbling evidence that our universe is just one member of an unending cosmic family. The incredible scientific saga of one woman’s mind-expanding journey through the multiverse, Before the Big Bang will reshape our understanding of humanity’s place in the unfathomable vastness of the cosmos.

Download or read book A Salute to Our Veterans written by Irene J. Dumas and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Salute To Our Veterans is a book about individual stories that veterans have told the writer during interviews, what they did as youngsters, about when they were old enough to go to war, where they signed up, went to basic training, what unit they served with, and where they fought during the wars. In the book are stories never told before by 29 veterans of World War II, 10 Korean War veterans, and six veterans from the Vietnam War and others. In the book are sailors, solders, marines and Air Force men. The stories mention the ships they were apart of and the ships that carried them to battles. The World War II veterans have told me stories of battles that they fought 60 years ago, and they are still fresh in their minds. It was amazing that when I put it down on paper, they wanted to check to see if I was as precise as they were. They never forget. Some people that read the stories will be able to relate to them, for they may have been at the same battle. Readers may find in my book someone they use to know, a lost comrade. The veterans remembered the units they fought with also. There is also a whole history of events that took you back to places during the wars. One of the veterans gives a full detailed story about his experiences in Vietnam, when he was fighting during Vietnam's worst fighting, the Tet Offensive and Khe Shan Operations. It also features a US Marine stationed in China after the end of WWII. After reading this book, you will be more aware that there are veterans like the ones in the book in your neighborhood. You might even want to give them one of these books for a gift.
Download or read book Heaven eternity and perfection written by Carlos Altamirano-Morales and published by Carlos Altamirano-Morales. This book was released on 2023-05-20 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of essays and reflections on the relationship between faith and reason by a family man aware that he and his wife are the first educators of their children. The first essay is the longest and the one that gives the title to this work as a whole. Some of the questions it raises and tries to answer are: What does heaven mean to believers today? Is it the same as the heaven where the sun, the other stars, the moon, and the planets are? And if we distinguish one heaven from the other today, was it ever considered the same? Why? And what about the writings that speak of "the heavens" in the plural? What relationship does the heavenly have with the eternal and with the perfect? Is perfect merely the absence of errors? What do we understand by eternal? Is eternal life the same as living forever or for all the years the universe has ahead of it?
Download or read book El Hombre Azar o Dise o written by José Francisco Martinez Garcia and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "El hombre ¿azar o diseño?" En esta obra se hace una exposición sucinta de fenómenos y elementos materiales que conforman el universo y, por tanto, también al ser humano, como un ser que tiene cuerpo y vida, y por ello sometido a leyes físicas y biológicas, pero que se desempeña trascendiendo esta clase de leyes. El hombre no puede tener su origen sólo en la materia bruta. Los acontecimientos del cosmos que le preceden, tampoco justifican suficientemente su existencia y su naturaleza, que desborda y trasciende la materia. Siendo el hombre un ser inteligente, su existencia demanda una causa inteligente, superior a él, causa que no se encuentra ni en el azar ni en la materia. En este entramado se conjugan la filosofía, la ciencia, el arte, la historia y la religión.
Download or read book Once Before Time written by Martin Bojowald and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his introduction to a revolutionary theory of the cosmos, Martin Bojowald shows how the big bang theory may give way to the big bounce theory, which describes our universe as an eternal series of expansions and contractions, with no beginning and no end. In 2000, Bojowald, then a twenty-seven-year-old postdoctoral student at Pennsylvania State University, used a relatively new theory called loop quantum gravity—a cunning combination of Einstein’s theory of gravity with quantum mechanics—to create a simple model of the universe. Loop quantum cosmology, or LQC, was born, and with it, a theory that managed to do something even Einstein’s general theory of relativity had failed to do—illuminate the very birth of the universe.

This book was released on 2023-11-21 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Un panorama general, básico y didáctico sobre la singularidad genética y biológica de la especie humana. Tras la creación del universo con el big-bang hace 13.700 millones de años brotó la vida en un planeta idóneo para su expansión y diversificación. En el libro se detallan los mecanismos de la evolución y de la aparición del Homo sapiens a partir de unos ancestros prehomínidos en el centro de África, hasta su expansión por todo el mundo. Se describen los procesos de la hominización y humanización y las especiales características del ser humano. Se explica el significado del “fenómeno humano” y el por qué y el cómo del resurgir de una especie tan singular. La única que asciende al mundo de la racionalidad y que en consecuencia vive su vida de forma consciente, se comunica con sus congéneres, crea la cultura y domina su entorno con un sentido ético y de trascendencia. En el libro se describen los fundamentos genéticos de nuestros rasgos biológicos, los determinantes genéticos y ambientales que influyen en el comportamiento humano, las enfermedades hereditarias y los detalles de nuestro genoma en relación con el de los demás seres vivos. Se distingue entre lo innato y lo adquirido. Se derriban los mitos y se asientan las pruebas de lo que es genuinamente humano y lo que no lo es. También se aborda el futuro de la humanidad en la era de las tecnologías emergentes, con los desafíos éticos de la manipulación genética y las corrientes materialistas que tratan de conducir a nuestra singular especie a la utopía transhumanista y posthumanista.

This book was released on 2012-03-15 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book comprises various chapters which explore a variety of topics related to the manner in which ideological and epistemological changes in the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries shaped the Spanish language, literature, and film, among other forms of expression, in both Spain and Latin America, and how these media served the purpose of spreading ideas and demands. There are articles on ideological representations of linguistic differences and sameness; linguistic changes associated with loan words and the ideas they bring in modifying our communicative landscape; the role of the Catholic religion on the construction of our dictionary; analysis of some political discourses, ideologies and social imaginaries; new visions of old literature (a return to the parody in the Middle Ages to analyze its moderness) and postmodern narrative; discussions on contemporary Spanish poetry and Central American literature; a new return to the liberation philosophy by analyzing Ellacuría´s work; and several studies about concepts such as capitalism, patriarchy, identity, masculinity, homosexuality, globalization, and the Resistence in several forms of expression.
