Book excerpt: We have discussed the concepts of eternity, evil, time, witchcraft, evolution, spirits, science and religion. The only conclusion is what we previously said of Aristotle, Greek philosopher, hundreds of years B.C.: "The only thing I know is that I don't know ". We would only hope that what another greater Thinker once said, is true, that there is the existence of an eternal reward in "Nirvana", "Heaven", or "after-life". In this earth, the Alpha and the Omega are shielded from our eyes, perhaps for our own good. Maybe our life is a kind of a training film, or as a proving grounds, to test our good from our unworthy traits. Many stories are told about people who have almost passed to the "other side", and come back to relate what they have seen. These people have no collusion, but all have a common thread: a light, a tunnel, a great expectation. Let us "hope" that their "faith" can lead to our greatest desire, that the Being that gave us these longings has the "charity" to not let it all end here. History repeats itself they say. But in order to be "gods", we will have to be as holy as "Buddha". Remember the Commandment "I am the Lord thy God, thou shalt not have strange gods before me. The greatest sin was Lucifer's, the sin of Pride. Let us realize that whatever was the cause, Somebody wanted to share creation with us and communicate. The Word was God, and dwelt among us. We have noted that there are explanations of the infinite from people like Confucius, Buddha, Aristotle, Socrates, Plato, Galileo, Newton, Goethe, Heisenberg, Einstein, and lately, Hawking. But only one Person has all the answers - JESUS

Book excerpt: SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2017 ROYAL SOCIETY SCIENCE BOOK PRIZE Even small children know there are infinitely many whole numbers - start counting and you'll never reach the end. But there are also infinitely many decimal numbers between zero and one. Are these two types of infinity the same? Are they larger or smaller than each other? Can we even talk about 'larger' and 'smaller' when we talk about infinity? In Beyond Infinity, international maths sensation Eugenia Cheng reveals the inner workings of infinity. What happens when a new guest arrives at your infinite hotel - but you already have an infinite number of guests? How does infinity give Zeno's tortoise the edge in a paradoxical foot-race with Achilles? And can we really make an infinite number of cookies from a finite amount of cookie dough? Wielding an armoury of inventive, intuitive metaphor, Cheng draws beginners and enthusiasts alike into the heart of this mysterious, powerful concept to reveal fundamental truths about mathematics, all the way from the infinitely large down to the infinitely small.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Science has never had an advocate quite like David Deutsch ... A computational physicist on a par with his touchstones Alan Turing and Richard Feynman, and a philosopher in the line of his greatest hero, Karl Popper. His arguments are so clear that to read him is to experience the thrill of the highest level of discourse available on this planet and to understand it' Peter Forbes, Independent In our search for truth, how far have we advanced? This uniquely human quest for good explanations has driven amazing improvements in everything from scientific understanding and technology to politics, moral values and human welfare. But will progress end, either in catastrophe or completion - or will it continue infinitely? In this profound and seminal book, David Deutsch explores the furthest reaches of our current understanding, taking in the Infinity Hotel, supernovae and the nature of optimism, to instill in all of us a wonder at what we have achieved - and the fact that this is only the beginning of humanity's infinite possibility.

I enthusiastically recommend this rich, wide-ranging and elegantly written exposition of the unique insights of one of our most original intellectuals' Michael Berry, Times Higher Education Supplement 'Bold ... profound ... provocative and persuasive' Economist 'David Deutsch may well go down in history as one of the great scientists of our age' Scotsman

Download or read book The Musings of a Crazy Old Fart written by Jim Rother and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2024-01-12 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After coming out as gay, Jason feels compelled to leave his home in Tennessee. Hoping to create a new life in Oregon, he takes a job as a companion/housekeeper/caregiver to an elderly man named Thomas. It turns out that Thomas has been expecting him and, with just a few weeks left to live, he tells Jason they are to share with the world a very different story of creation. With the love of his deceased wife ever in his mind and the promptings of his “guide,” Karl, Thomas weaves for Jason a new creation myth filled with love and purpose – a myth that deeply challenges Jason. How do you translate mystical experiences in a language easily understood within our normal reality? How does the weirdness of quantum mechanics fit into a cause-and-effect world? Those questions have challenged the greatest teachers and the everyday seeker of the truth. They challenge Thomas as well. No one can contain the infinite and put it into finite words. Yet there are steps that can be taken to invite the infinite into our experience, for it is only through direct experience that we can begin to grasp the true nature of our being.

Download or read book You re Equal written by Samantha Standish and published by Samantha Standish. This book was released on with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ARE YOU EQUAL? A former attorney, Samantha Standish, discovered the answer to this question when she woke up one morning not attached to her body. Her findings became the book, “You’re Equal.” “You’re Equal” is a unique perspective on equality because it’s not political, philosophical, or religious. The book is a description and interpretation of how equality works as a mechanic in the construction of reality. “Being out of body was like a physics field trip where I got to experience the structure of reality for a short while,” says Standish. “Imagine living the properties of an electromagnetic field. That was what it was like.” Standish returned from that experience with the idea that the energy that composes matter exists in paradoxical, undivided states and that this had significance for humans because it meant that nothing was divided. To Standish, everyone was equal because it wasn’t possible to eliminate, separate, or leave out anything. “You’re Equal” is a balm to the soul and a must read for anyone that wants to understand the mechanics of equality from the ground up.

This book was released on 2020-04-14 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A young mathematical genius from India searches for the secrets hidden inside numbers — and for someone who understands him — in this gorgeous picture-book biography. A mango . . . is just one thing. But if I chop it in two, then chop the half in two, and keep on chopping, I get more and more bits, on and on, endlessly, to an infinity I could never ever reach. In 1887 in India, a boy named Ramanujan is born with a passion for numbers. He sees numbers in the squares of light pricking his thatched roof and in the beasts dancing on the temple tower. He writes mathematics with his finger in the sand, across the pages of his notebooks, and with chalk on the temple floor. “What is small?” he wonders. “What is big?” Head in the clouds, Ramanujan struggles in school — but his mother knows that her son and his ideas have a purpose. As he grows up, Ramanujan reinvents much of modern mathematics, but where in the world could he find someone to understand what he has conceived? Author Amy Alznauer gently introduces young readers to math concepts while Daniel Miyares’s illustrations bring the wonder of Ramanujan’s world to life in the inspiring real-life story of a boy who changed mathematics and science forever. Back matter includes a bibliography and an author’s note recounting more of Ramanujan’s life and accomplishments, as well as the author’s father’s remarkable discovery of Ramanujan’s Lost Notebook.
