THE UNKNOWN AND THE UNKNOWABLE
Author: RAMAN SIVASHANKAR
Publisher: Notion Press
ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 346
Book Description
The Unknown And The Unknowable is the sequel to my debut book Our Universe An Unending Mystery published by Create Space, an Amazon Company in 2017. In the earlier book, knowledge frontier areas in the physical, spiritual, and occult worlds were identified and their interdependence was highlighted. The present book extends the thought process further into exciting arcane domains like time travel and wormholes in the physical world, religion-the eternal dilemma and the interpretation of dreams in the spiritual and occult worlds respectively. Aside from this, two new areas; The human life form and math conundrums have been added to make the review more comprehensive and interesting. The unique panorama of the human life form from womb to tomb is sketched with notes on the mysterious workings of major organs and glands. Unique human capabilities like the third eye, the use of languages for communication, proprioception, the reality or otherwise of free will and other abstract topics have been evaluated. The math conundrums have been cherry-picked: e.g. the zero discovery and the Ramanujan Magic Square make interesting reading. The book would be a useful addition to libraries wishing to highlight abstract topics.

Mechanics of Impression Evidence
Author: David S. Pierce
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1439813728
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 230
Book Description
Presenting the hard science increasingly required by courts to back up expert opinion in cases that hinge on impression evidence comparison, this book applies the methods of physics, chemistry, and engineering to analysis and interpretation of fingerprints, footwear and tire tread impressions, and bloodstains. Using easily accessible language, it shows the scientific method behind each of these discrete disciplines. It then combines and cross-references the knowledge within each to ultimately present a more generalist approach and thus a more informed judgment.

Five Golden Rules

Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
In Five Golden Rules, John L. Casti serves as curator to a brilliant collection of 20th-century mathematical theories, leading us on a fascinating journey of discovery and insight. Probing the frontiers of modern mathematics, Casti examines the origins of some of the most important findings of this century. This is a tale of mystery and logic, elegance and reason; it is the story of five monumental mathematical breakthroughs and how they shape our lives. All those intrigued by the mathematical process, nonacademics and professionals alike, will find this an enlightening, eye-opening, and entertaining work. High school algebra or geometry - and enthusiasm - are the only prerequisites. From the theorem that provided the impetus for modern computers to the calculations that sent the first men to the Moon, these breakthroughs have transformed our lives. Casti illustrates each theorem with a dazzling array of real-world problems it has helped solve - how to calculate the shape of space, optimize investment returns, even chart the course of the development of organisms. Along the way, we meet the leading thinkers of the day: John von Neumann, L. E. J. Brouwer, Marston Morse, and Alan Turing, among others. And we come to understand the combination of circumstances that led each to such revolutionary discoveries as the Minimax Theorem, which spawned the exciting field of game theory, and the Simplex Method, which underpins the powerful tools of optimization theory.
