Download or read book The Nature of Reality Or How the Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction written by Abhisek Bhattacharya and published by . This book was released on 2019-03-29 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is there really a way to know if anything in the universe is true for certain? A rationalist would obviously argue for a logical approach to answer this question, but what proof is there that logic is the right way to uncover the mysteries of nature? What if the efficient workings of the seemingly elementary thing logic is actually the result of a yet more fundamental element existing in the universe, seeded way beyond our comprehensive abilities? Or the simultaneous happenings of a bunch of fully random, chaotic events that, similar to the unpredictability observed at quantum scale, actually make up reality at a deeper level? This book makes an attempt in determining what all in the universe can be asserted to be true beyond a shadow of doubt. Beginning with a radical deed of doubting everything one experiences through his or her sensory organs, it takes a systematic approach in searching for truth(s) by methodically questioning the validity of all claims ever made about the universe, including the scientific ones. At the end, the readers are met with a possible limit or restriction to the reaches of rational or logical thinking, and get to see what all probabilities there exist of developing a framework, a mathematical model of the universe that would be able to predict each and every phenomenon that ever takes place in the universe, i.e. the hypothetical theory of everything. Describing things from a completely unbiased, analytical perspective, 'The Nature of Reality or How The Truth is Stranger than Fiction' is a detailed account of the possible inherent features of reality, as well as a compact narration of the level of mankind's present understanding of the universe.

Download or read book Our Universe a Journey Into Mystery written by Jeff Jones and published by Bookbaby. This book was released on 2019-01-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like all books on the subject, Our Universe is full of images of exploding stars and colliding galaxies. There are powers and distances beyond human comprehension. Darkness surrounds us as we discover most of this place we live in is not available to our eyes and senses.It's all very nice, but you want more than just another "science on parade" book. There is a much more profound story hidden in the beautiful images spread over the scientific world. Everything known to us comes from the Universe. If this is correct, can the Universe answer questions about meaning and purpose? The answer is, yes. In the past 25 years, we have learned more about the Universe than in all recorded history. This explosion of knowledge is due to three disruptive forces: the personal computer, the Internet and the great space and land-based telescopes. It is now possible to tell the story of the Universe in 21st-century language and images that any interested layman can follow. Using these tools, the secrets of this extraordinary place are being laid bare. The Universe is ready to answer our questions. We are prepared to listen.I pose three questions for the Universe to answer. Who am I? What is our home? What is the purpose of my life? It's a tall order for any book. Our Universe uses the vehicle of science, astronomy, cosmology and the different ways humans know reality to allow the reader to answer these personal questions. These threads are woven into a tapestry revealing the Universe in all its glory. We don't know everything, but we know enough. The way forward is clear. The journey is from where we are now back in time to the beginning and perhaps a moment before, to what I call the Mystery. Then we will turn around and watch this Unknowable come into being as our Universe. The evolution of the Universe will be before our eyes. There lie the answers.The Mystery is not knowable or describable in any fashion, yet the trajectory of our story sends us squarely into its midst. It's where science, human language, and concepts fail. Despite this, it is our heritage. We must deal with Mystery, or we will forever be unfulfilled.One of the discoveries will be to realize how all knowledge and the material world are directly related. Their origins will be apparent. The Big Bang will be found to be a process and not an event. It is still becoming not only in the world around us but within as well. There are no smoke and mirrors. It is a non-fiction story you can see for yourself. The facts and conclusion are easily checked, and the reader will not have to cross their fingers or set their minds aside to appreciate the story.Come along for the Journey into Mystery. This is the story I always wanted to write. It is the story hopefully, you are looking to discover.

Download or read book Our Tragic Universe written by Scarlett Thomas and published by HMH. This book was released on 2010-09-01 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This “delightfully whimsical novel riffs on the premise that ordinary lives stubbornly resist the tidy order that a fiction narrative might impose on them” (Publishers Weekly). Can a story save your life? Meg Carpenter is broke. Her novel is years overdue. Her cell phone is out of minutes. And her moody boyfriend’s only contribution to the household is his sour attitude. So she jumps at the chance to review a pseudoscientific book that promises life everlasting. But who wants to live forever? Consulting cosmology and physics, tarot cards, koans (and riddles and jokes), new-age theories of everything, narrative theory, Nietzsche, Baudrillard, and knitting patterns, Meg wends her way through Our Tragic Universe, asking this and many other questions. Does she believe in fairies? In magic? Is she a superbeing? Is she living a storyless story? And what’s the connection between her off-hand suggestion to push a car into a river, a ship in a bottle, a mysterious beast loose on the moor, and the controversial author of The Science of Living Forever? Smart, entrancing, and boiling over with Thomas’s trademark big ideas, Our Tragic Universe is a book about how relationships are created and destroyed, how we can rewrite our futures (if not our histories), and how stories just might save our lives.

And why is it that whenever he closes his eyes, he falls prey to vivid, agonizing memories that seem more real than the world around him? Seth begins a search for answers, hoping that he might not be alone, that this might not be the hell he fears it to be, that there might be more than just this. . . .
