In September 2017, the Cassini spacecraft will point itself toward
the atmoshpere of Saturn and end its 13-year mission of solving
many of the mysteries of the ringed planet's system with a crash.
This book is a dramatic, beautifully illustrated journey of
discovery through the Saturn system. Cassini's instruments have
revealed never seen before details including the only
extraterrestrial lakes known in the solar system and have provided
unprecedented views of the rings. It is a non-technical book for
everyone who loves astronomy.
The stochastic gravitational-wave background (SGWB) is by far the
most difficult source of gravitational radiation detect. At the
same time, it is the most interesting and intriguing one. This book
describes the initial detection of the SGWB and describes the
underlying mathematics behind one of the most amazing discoveries
of the 21st century. On the experimental side it would mean that
interferometric gravitational wave detectors work even better than
expected. On the observational side, such a detection could give us
information about the very early Universe, information that could
not be obtained otherwise. Even negative results and improved upper
bounds could put constraints on many cosmological and particle
physics models.
Ancient records suggest that universes, galaxies, stars, and
planets are alive and sentient and capable of communicating with
their Creator, as are the peoples who inhabit them. What does our
universe look like? What does it have in common with human
physiology? How are we connected to it? What natural
infrastructures are designed into it? What did the inhabitants of
Babel intend to accomplish when they started building a pyramid?
What of our Heavenly progenitors? Is there an eternal pattern of
creation, opposition, and redemption common to the Fathers of our
God? Are human beings mere creations of God, or are we His literal
offspring? Inquiring minds and sincere hearts may find a
springboard to soul stretching questions in this candid, concise,
and well sourced work.
