Book Religious Roots of Relativity

Download or read book Religious Roots of Relativity written by Glenn Borchardt and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-11 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Glenn Borchardt has over fifty years of practical and theoretical experience in science and philosophy. He has produced over 500 scientific reports, including journal articles, books, chapters, abstracts, computer programs, and consulting reports. His most notable books are: "The Ten Assumptions of Science," which opposes the foundations of science and religion, "The Scientific Worldview," which proclaims the universal mechanism of evolution as the key to understanding the universe, and "Infinite Universe Theory," as the ultimate replacement for the Big Bang Theory. Borchardt is the Director of the Progressive Science Institute in Berkeley California.Religious Roots of Relativity shows that, unlike other scientific theories, relativity is founded on religious assumptions. Glenn Borchardt, author of The Ten Assumptions of Science, elaborates on the opposing indeterministic assumptions to present "The Ten Assumptions of Religion" as the framework for this new book. Each fundamental religious assumption is shown to have much in common with the fundamental assumptions Einstein subconsciously used in devising Special and General Relativity Theory. One theme runs through the entire book: Einstein's erroneous assumption that space was perfectly empty. That was critical for his popular Untired Light Theory, as it has been for popular biblical creation stories, and for popular Big Bang Theory. There is no evidence, however, for perfectly empty space; it is only an idealization akin to the dreams and imaginings of religion. It cannot possibly exist. Nonexistence, nothingness, therefore is impossible. The universe exists everywhere and for all time. Without relativity and its foundation in religion, the book predicts Big Bang Theory will be victim to the Last Cosmological Revolution: Infinite Universe Theory. This is the book for you if you have wondered why relativity has remained lucrative and popular despite its weird paradoxes, contradictions, and interpretations. This is the book showing the intimate, necessary connection between relativity and religion, which has led to relativity's longevity and indubitable veracity among those who still hold fast to religious assumptions. "Wow! I finished reading your book in one day! I just couldn't stop scrolling the pages. It was an enjoyable read and very well written. You have a great writing style that is easy to read. Nice final sentence too." -Bill Howell"Borchardt's new book is ultimately a fast read, because (like all his books) once you start reading it, you can't put it down. And, literally, you can't put it down physically, and you can't put it down argumentatively. Some may disagree with it. But that would only reveal the indeterminist within. Borchardt ends his masterpiece with a look forward to the inevitable paradigm shift, and how mankind will be better off for it." -Fred Frees"Glenn Borchardt's book "Religious Roots of Relativity" is not just about relativity and religion, it's not only about physics, it's much more, about science which is under a siege by everything what is not science. If I had to review Borchardt's book: "Religious Roots of Relativity" in only once sentence, I would say: We need more books like this one!" -Rudolf Vrnoga"Impressive piece of work! Very much in line with Collingwood and my essay on the subject. I had never realized these assumptions were of religious origin, though, besides the priest's obvious motivations." -Pierre BerriganGlenn Borchardt's book uses the hammer of Infinity to explain and destroy the junk theories that plague 'Official' physics today. This is a book that should be used in college courses, to give students a basic understanding of how physics is done. Physics has 'gone off the rails' for a century and it is books like Borchardt's that will return physics from its current unscientific and anti-materialist base and back on to a scientific and materialist road." -Mike Gimbel

Download or read book The Divine Relativity written by Charles Hartshorne and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1948-01-01 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Hartshorne has set himself the task of formulating the idea of deity "to preserve perhaps even increase, its religious value, while yet avoiding the contradictions which seem inseparable from the idea of customarily defined." This is a brilliant attempt to redefine problems that have long challenged the Western world in its search for understanding both God and man. “The compact, closely reasoned book employs a skill in logic reminiscent of scholasticism at its best to refute traditional notions, scholastic and otherwise, of divine absoluteness, and to expound a conception of God which is both free of contradiction and religiously adequate. The position taken is described by Professor Hartshorne as surrelativism, or panentheism, and these terms indicate the two major emphases of the volume….He who follows its precise logic with the alertness it demands will have a clarifying and enriching experience.”—S. Paul Schiling, Journal of Bible and Religion “In what respects is God absolute and in what respects relative? Or is it meaningless to say that he is both? In a rigorously analytical study Professor Hartshorne explains why he thinks both statements are necessary….One comes from this book with new confidence in the ability of philosophy to attack religious problems and, through careful analysis, to reveal what as alone conceivable must be true.”—J.S. Bixler, Review of Religion “Hartshorne's work is a major achievement in religious thought because it strives to clear away errors that have been insuperable obstacles to religious search.”—Henry N. Wieman, The Philosophical Review “This book is not merely theoretical, as might be supposed; it has its practical application to the larger social issues of our time, including the problem of democracy.”—Jay William Hudson, Christian Register

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A leading theologian presents a hopeful account of the universe after Einstein, exploring it as a meaningful drama of awakening “This book is a deep and provocative piece of theology that proposes we engage with the universe as a kind of narrative of awakening and unfolding, as well as an important and useful approach for thinking about theology with respect to modern cosmology.”—Matthew Stanley, New York University Before the early twentieth century, scientists and theologians knew almost nothing about time’s enormity and the corresponding immensity of space. But now, after Einstein, cosmology offers theology a whole new way of looking at the ageless questions about matter, time, God, cosmic purpose, and the significance of our lives. The universe need not be thought of as simply an endless reshuffling of lifeless and mindless atoms in a pointless series of moments. Rather, the universe is a temporal drama of awakening whose meaning can be revealed only gradually by looking, in a spirit of anticipation and hope, toward the horizon of the cosmic future. In conversation with Einstein’s ideas and opinions, John F. Haught develops here a new cosmological understanding of the meaning of God, time, eternity, mystery, life, thought, freedom, and faith. In doing so, he offers readers a new way of understanding the relationship of science to theology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: REALITY OF RELATIVITY; You are not alone in your body; there are 8.4 millions you in the body. Time after time all living beings from within virtually drink the blood and eat the flesh of the holy son Jesus Christ. The Revelations of Holy Bible, Holy Koran, Mythologies of ancient civilizations, Pyramid inscriptions, philosophies of Buddhism, the Vedas and the related teachings of Hinduism clearly define the nature and experiences of the living beings in the seven worlds, which virtually exist within the body. Highest sources of human anatomy are the truthful image of God and Godly beings. Cleansing of the inner world results in the creation of material world. The material world that we experience through our sense organs is not quite real; it is only the reflection of the inner world. The evolving knowledge of the mathematics of hologram will aid in understanding that matter originates from the process of thought. And where all other frequencies are suspended matter is transported (project) through light mediums to become reality away from its origin. unconscious and the commonality of our behaviors, however, if any cleansing method of the inner world is based on the knowledge of quantum physics, it will only lead to temporarily intervening in the infinite changes of unconscious. Though it is a significant step in healing, it does not neutralize the experiences (frequency). In other words we pass it on temporarily. Confessional therapy, Breathing exercises, Meditation, Kabalah and Yoga are the five principle solutions; when practiced as explained in this book it will lead to permanent solution (neutralized frequencies). The five principle solutions are derived from the Bible, Koran and from the teachings of Buddhism and Hinduism. The obscurity which is observed in the work of great philosophers and artists of earlier period are due to the condition of climate on earth at the given time. Understanding the fundamentals of this book will unravel their intended message.

Book Einstein and Religion

  • Author : Max Jammer
  • Publisher : Princeton University Press
  • Release : 2011-09-05
  • ISBN : 1400840872
  • Pages : 288 pages

Download or read book Einstein and Religion written by Max Jammer and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2011-09-05 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The philosophy of religion and the quest for spiritual truth preoccupied Albert Einstein--so much that it has been said "one might suspect he was a disguised theologian." Nevertheless, the literature on the life and work of Einstein, extensive as it is, does not provide an adequate account of his religious conception and sentiments. Only fragmentarily known, Einstein's ideas about religion have been often distorted both by atheists and by religious groups eager to claim him as one of their own. But what exactly was Einstein's religious credo? In this fascinating book, the distinguished physicist and philosopher Max Jammer offers an unbiased and well-documented answer to this question. The book begins with a discussion of Einstein's childhood religious education and the religious atmosphere--or its absence--among his family and friends. It then reconstructs, step by step, the intellectual development that led Einstein to the conceptions of a cosmic religion and an impersonal God, akin to "the God of Spinoza." Jammer explores Einstein's writings and lectures on religion and its role in society, and how far they have been accepted by the general public and by professional theologians like Paul Tillich or Frederick Ferré. He also analyzes the precise meaning of Einstein's famous dictum "Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind," and why this statement can serve as an epitome of Einstein's philosophy of religion. The last chapter deals with the controversial question of whether Einstein's scientific work, and in particular his theory of relativity, has theologically significant implications, a problem important for those who are interested in the relation between science and religion. Both thought-provoking and engaging, this book aims to introduce readers, without proselytizing, to Einstein's religion.

Book excerpt: "Relativity - A New Age Religion" presents a concise, step-by-step presentation of the major principals of "Einstein's Theories of Relativity". The presentation leads to a unification of the "Laws of Nature" and an appreciation for "Intelligent Design". A new philosophy is presented that reconciles the cosmological view of reality, including the concept of "Free Will", with Einstein's deterministic theory.The text is organized such that its chapters can be read sequentially with the appendixes used only as reference material. This reduces the volume of mathematics required to understand the main points of the text. It requires only a minimal understanding of calculus and presents a tutorial of the "Mathematics of Tensors".

Book Change  the Arrow of Time  and Divine Eternity in Light of Relativity Theory

Download or read book Change the Arrow of Time and Divine Eternity in Light of Relativity Theory written by Daniel Saudek and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-03-19 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has two aims; first, to provide a new account of time's arrow in light of relativity theory; second, to explain how God, being eternal, relates to our world, marked as it is by change and time. In part one, Saudek argues that time is not the expansive universal 'wave' that is appears to be, but nor are we living in an unchanging block. Rather, time is real but local: there are infinitely many arrows of time in the universe, each with their own fixed past and open future. This model is based on the ontology of substances which can exist in different states, marked by different properties. On this basis, a derivation of temporal precedence and of the asymmetry between the fixed past and the open future is provided. Time's arrow is thus 'attached' to substances, and is therefore a local rather than global phenomenon, though by no means an illusory or merely subjective one. In part two, this model is then applied to the perennial questions concerning the relationship between divine eternity and the temporal world: How can my future choices be free if God already knows what I will do? Can God act if He is not in time? Through the lens of relativity theory, such questions are shown to appear in a completely new light. The book combines insights from theoretical physics with ancient and contemporary philosophy into a unique synthesis, broaching a wealth of key issues including the arrow of time, the evolution of the cosmos, and a physics-based defence of eternalism in philosophical theology.

Book Relativistic Quantum Theology

Download or read book Relativistic Quantum Theology written by Shahen Hacyan and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2024-01-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theory of relativity and quantum mechanics are the cornerstones of modern physics. While the former is based on startling but clear premises, the latter lays on entirely obscure foundations. Nevertheless, these theories have provided a wonderful description of the Universe, from atomic to cosmic scales, and their union as a relativistic quantum theory has produced the most precise description of atomic phenomena ever achieved. Much has been written about the mysteries of the atomic world revealed by quantum mechanics, to such an extent that this branch of physics has overreached its original framework. Many people, after reading a popular science book or an article in the press, believe that quantum mechanics can have amazing applications to a wide variety of topics. Thus, for instance, we find all over the market: quantum meditation, quantum medicine, quantum recipes for self-improvement, quantum cosmetics (a whole line of quantum shampoos, conditioners, soaps, detergents...) and a long etcetera. On the other hand, there are no relativistic shampoos or healing methods, but the theory has inspired many science-fiction books and films. Since, undeniably, the fundamental concepts of quantum mechanics are alien to our everyday experience, it is not surprising that some of the founding fathers of this new science -great figures such as Einstein and Schrödinger- looked for more intuitive explanations of their theoretical proposals. However, all their attempts failed. Nowadays, most physicists have resigned themselves to accepting the principles of quantum mechanics as articles of faith, since there is no doubt that this new science is successful beyond all expectations in describing the atomic world. Thus, "have faith and calculate" has become the maxim of quantum physicists. It is noteworthy that something similar is asked of believers: to have faith in the precepts and mysteries of the Church, however incomprehensible they may seem to our limited human understanding. There are mysteries, and we can find them in both the quantum and the religious worlds. In the following dialogues, two characters, Theodicius and Hylasphos, discuss about the mysteries of faith and those of quantum mechanics and relativity. Being the former a theologian and the latter a physicist, they compare the mysteries of religion with those of science and try accordingly, in just seven days of dialogue, to convey their concerns to the reader who has been patient enough to follow their arguments to the end.
