Download or read book Treo Model of Structure and Working of Universe written by Dr. Ashok Saxena and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2020-08-07 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will bring fundamental change in our understanding of phenomenon of gravitation, after Newton and Einstein, by taking it to quantum level as QUANTUM GRAVITATION. So far scientists have been using only four dimensions to describe universe, out of which three dimensions of Space describe WHAT, fourth dimension of Time describes WHEN and for the first time author has included Energy as fifth dimension which explains HOW UNIVERSE WORKS. In this simple book we will Study basic of all basics, to examine ‘the world around us’; which will change our picture of universe for ever. Here the author explains in a different perceptive both to common man and serious scholars of Science; what is space, time, unit photon, unit electron, magnetism, unit mass, graviton, unit charge, unit black hole, all universal constants, method of construction of elements, formation of gravitational coloumns, rule of positioning and motion of planets etc. The alphabets of His script (Planck’s units) were found way back in 1900 by Mr. Max Planck but His Script is now deciphered in this treo model. The Four basic forces are described as ‘Load dependent deformation of space matrix in increasing number of all four dimensions of space time’; and this unify all forces.

Download or read book Neotheology written by Immanuel Goldstein and published by Wheatmark, Inc.. This book was released on 2004-09 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The opening sentence of the Old Testament-"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth"-has actually established a mind-boggling enigma for all who would be attracted to the monotheistic proposition of creation. To create a universe with a beginning, God, who is perforce infinite and eternal, would have divided his own existence into two distinct epochs as a result. He would have had to pre-stand forever behind the act before having accomplished the feat! How is this possible? The puzzle would appear beyond the logical, finite mind to explain. Neotheology was designed to address this enigma from a secular perspective and propose a hypothetical solution to the question. Moreover, if an answer to the query is possible to decipher, then it should lead to a confrontation with the grand, underlying conundrum: given the nature of the physical cosmos, which appears to obliterate all of its created forms, why was an act of physical creation undertaken at all?

Download or read book The Sabertops written by Spencer Mehl and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001-08-23 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mankind stands at a crossroad in the 21st Century. He must become more than mere flesh and blood or go the way of the dinosaur. Global warming, ice ages, asteroid hits, and other horrendous events inevitably will occur. Is man ready to step outside his fragile body and meet what is real? Regardless, given that man makes the correct choices, the next few centuries probably will be the last in which what man sees in the mirror will be totally recognizable. Soon he will learn to transfer his mind into whatever form and substance may be required to survive cataclysmic events, endure the rigors of space travel, and colonize other worlds, all of which are now hostile to him. In"Time Does Not Exist," scientist and 24th Century 'Sabertop,' Shaoping Chen, makes man's first successful attempt at time travel. She arrives in the 21st Century, but before she can return to her own era, she becomes involved in a murder and the disappearance of someone important to her mission. Catching the killer and rectifying a mistake all depend on the nonexistence of time.

Download or read book Our Almost Impossible Universe written by R. Mirman and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2006 with total page 535 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WHY GOD COULD NOT CREATE THE UNIVERSE WITH A DIFFERENT DIMENSION EVEN IF IT WANTED TO or perhaps anything else. Perhaps the universe must be the way it is. It seems that what is omnipotent is mathematics, elementary arithmetic, just counting. Yet even mathematics is not powerful enough to create a universe¿there are just too many conditions, conflicting. Existence is impossible. Beyond that for there to be structure is quite inconceivable. But the universe does exist, there are galaxies, stars, even the possibility of life. That life is possible merely allows it to exist but only with the greatest good fortune does it actually occur. Intelligence is vastly less likely, ability and technology far more improbable. That we are, what we are, seem so strange, inconceivable, that we are left merely with wonder¿and, as we seem unable to realize, the need for the deepest care, responsibility and gratitude. We have been given by the unbelievable benevolence of chance, no life, but life with the most wondrous part of the universe, the ability to think, to know, to create, to wonder¿and thus the demand that we use our most awesome gifts to protect them, to protect and preserve the world in which they exist, and the life, likely so rare if not unique in the universe, which has received these astounding favors of chance, that has been given by nature its most exalted constituents. What we are requires that we enhance what we are, what we are part of, to see, understand and be grateful. An exploration of the precise conditions required for the existence of humans in the universe. ...the author does an admirable job delineating the laws of physics without becoming too bogged down in complicated jargon, and he maintains a sense of wonder about the unique and random nature of the universe. He repeatedly celebrates our highly improbable achievements as a species, marveling at our ability to use the language of abstract mathematics to unravel the mysteries of existence. ... the prevailing tone of the narrative is clear and confident, marked by a meticulous attention to detail. An...often fascinating journey through the history of the universe and mankind. -Kirkus Discoveries

Download or read book Inner Space Outer Space written by Edward Kolb and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1986-04 with total page 682 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inner Space/Outer Space brings together much of the exciting work contributing to a new synthesis of modern physics. Particle physicists, concerned with the "inner space" of the atom, are making discoveries that their colleagues in astrophysics, studying outer space, can use to develop and test hypotheses about the events that occurred in the microseconds after the Big Bang and that shaped the universe as we know it today. The papers collected here, from scores of scientists, constitute the proceedings of the first major international conference on research at the interface of particle physics and astrophysics, held in May 1984. The editors have written introductions to each major section that draw out the central themes and elaborate on the primary implications of the papers that follow.
