Book Description
Will the physical universe come to an end? When will it happen? What role will time play in the series of events before and after? Do God and Satan exist and what role, if any, do they play in the demise of the universe? Is there is any hope for man and can his extinction be prevented? The answers to these questions have plagued mankind for millennia. The author takes a novel approach to why the universe will end and details the basis for the single scientific phenomenon that will cause it to come about. The questions posed and many others are answered from both scientific and philosophical points-of-view in this timely book. Is this book science fiction or scientific certainty? You need to know. This is a must-read.

The Physical Basis of The Direction of Time
Author: H. Dieter Zeh
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3662027593
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
The asymmetry of natural phenomena under time reversal is striking. Here Zehinvestigates the most important classes of physical phenomena that characterize the arrow of time, discussing their interrelations as well as striving to uncover a cosmological common root of the phenomena, such as the time-independent wave function of the universe. The description of irreversible phenomena is shown to be fundamentally "observer-related". Both physicists and philosophers of science who reviewed the first edition considered this book a magnificent survey, a concise, technically sophisticated, up-to-date discussion of the subject, showing fine sensivity to some of the crucial philosophicalsubtleties. This new and expanded edition will be welcomed by both students and specialists.

The End of Time
Author: Julian Barbour
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199760896
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
Richard Feynman once quipped that "Time is what happens when nothing else does." But Julian Barbour disagrees: if nothing happened, if nothing changed, then time would stop. For time is nothing but change. It is change that we perceive occurring all around us, not time. Put simply, time does not exist. In this highly provocative volume, Barbour presents the basic evidence for a timeless universe, and shows why we still experience the world as intensely temporal. It is a book that strikes at the heart of modern physics. It casts doubt on Einstein's greatest contribution, the spacetime continuum, but also points to the solution of one of the great paradoxes of modern science, the chasm between classical and quantum physics. Indeed, Barbour argues that the holy grail of physicists--the unification of Einstein's general relativity with quantum mechanics--may well spell the end of time. Barbour writes with remarkable clarity as he ranges from the ancient philosophers Heraclitus and Parmenides, through the giants of science Galileo, Newton, and Einstein, to the work of the contemporary physicists John Wheeler, Roger Penrose, and Steven Hawking. Along the way he treats us to enticing glimpses of some of the mysteries of the universe, and presents intriguing ideas about multiple worlds, time travel, immortality, and, above all, the illusion of motion. The End of Time is a vibrantly written and revolutionary book. It turns our understanding of reality inside-out.

Book Description
In Pressed for Time, Judy Wajcman explains why we immediately interpret our experiences with digital technology as inexorably accelerating everyday life. She argues that we are not mere hostages to communication devices, and the sense of always being rushed is the result of the priorities and parameters we ourselves set rather than the machines that help us set them."--Jacket.

Foundations of Modern Cosmology

Languages : en
Pages : 569
Book Description
Recent discoveries in astronomy have revolutionized the field of cosmology. While many long-standing questions in cosmology have now been answered, the new data pose new mysteries such as the nature of the "dark energy" that dominates the universe. This second edition provides an accessible and thorough text on the physics of cosmology and a lively account of the modern concordance model of the universe, from the big bang to a distant future dominated by dark energy.

The Mechanisms, Metaphysics, and History of Consciousness in the World
Author: Michael Remler
Publisher: First Edition Design Pub.
ISBN: 150690890X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
What is a Human Being? When we think of ourselves, we think primarily of our subjective sense of self, our Consciousness, and how does it relate to our Body? Are Mind and Body one and the same thing, Monism, or two separate things, Dualism. This is the "Mind-Body Problem." It is the scientific question of how Consciousness is manifest in the structure of Brain. It is the moral questions regarding abortion and end of life. The answers require an explanation in terms of physics, metaphysics, and history. It is the discussion inside those explanatory fields that has built the gulf between popular intuitive Dualism and the expert Monism. This work presents a clear scientific Dualist model, Mind and Body, as two separate things to answer the question, 'What is a Human Being?'

The Law of Universal Equilibrium the Unit of Space-Time, the Unit of Mass of a Substance, and the Unit of Weight of a Substance
Author: Rita Vaynshteyn
Publisher: Rita Vaynshteyn
ISBN: 1466263547
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 16
Book Description
Everything pulls everything, apples pull planets, and planets pull apples. From this, Newton was able to relate the force of attraction between two objects to their masses and the distance between them. The picture of the world is more complicated. Einstein's general relativity predicts that accelerated masses should emit gravitational waves and they travel with the speed of light. Space - time is created by rotation of accelerated masses of stars. Accelerations are indistinguishable from gravitational fields. They are equivalent (The Principle of Equivalence). "Masses deform space, with the result that other masses follow curved tracks - as when the sun forces the planets to orbit around it" (Einstein, A., Relativity). The acceleration of Earth's space in the Earth's radius squared area forces any bodies to fall to the earth. The Earth's attraction force is determined by acceleration g. To solve a problem of movement we have to separate the notion of mass from the notion of weight and define when the mass acquires the weight.

Catalyst One
Author: Robert E. Rushton
Publisher: Trafford Publishing
ISBN: 1412019419
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 508
Book Description
A matrix of Morality-wisdom Philosophy-insights, Diplomatic-cynicism, Common-sense impressions, Whimsy-freak notions, Personal love-relations, Societal love-relations, War, Guerilla War, & Assassinations. New political-terminology and conceptions, And much more for you, the story maker, to ponder, extract and catalyze into your very own allergy using your genius to flesh it out, in your name, a legend of our time. Story-smiths will delight in the wisdom given in the various sections on love that may be extracted here-from and fashion into a story line. A refreshing change of outlook on this subject both from society's point of view and from the individual's intuitive instincts. The parabilic sections on Front Line War, Guerilla War and Assassination will offer the story maker pause for thought on these subjects. The story maker's own abstraction and reworking of these new concepts will leave ample scope for metamorphosis into ones own powerful narrative. The cynical section on diplomacy takes the subject to new horizons that will lead one from fresh works in this subject thus adding modern scope to those works of Michiavelli. The story maker's extraction, modification and reapplication of the various other sections of this work may possibly lead to new higher ground in plot constructs. This book will both entertain and enlighten you. A revolutionary and extraordinary book that crosses the boundaries of religion, philosophy, and intellectual thought with purity, lucidity, and protraction laid out in an order that allows full scope of craft a blueprint for your own book in word erection. This book of 'parables' venerates the probity of extraordinary events in the life and times of contemporary society and doings. It validates and encourages responsibility for creating your own truly insightful work. The book requires some effort in understanding fresh ground breaking concepts and thus willingness to learn and grasp new terminology.
