Here Be Angels - : Sojourn in a Different World (Paperback): John Francis Gadway Here Be Angels - : Sojourn in a Different World (Paperback)
John Francis Gadway
R454 Discovery Miles 4 540 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Helen had been dead for several hours when she visited Dr. Gadway in Miami, and she was not alone. But this book is not about his encounter with the ghost of his recently murdered former lover and her angel. It's about how the possibility of such drama constrains physical reality to be. Ever careful to distinguish between scientific facts and their interpretation, Gadway argues that ghosts and angels are no more difficult to fit within the paradigm of modern science than scientists themselves. Quantum physicists assume that micro events are fundamentally random. Gadway challenges this assumption with arguments that are readily accessible to the layman. Personal experiences-including motorcycle tours of the northeast and the great northwest, flights to Peru and Africa, confessions of betrayal and the experience of love and forgiveness-are contextualized with penetrating insights into what some of the greatest thinkers have contributed to our modern worldview. Along the way he motivates an intuitive explanation of synchronicity that departs sharply from the one worked out by Jung and Pauli. Join Gadway on an adventure of discovery that deconstructs gravity, a force that Einstein's magnificent General Theory both describes and denies. As the title to this eminently readable and important book suggests, contrary to the default position of post-Copernican cosmology, the universe is not indifferent to our being here. Ours is a different world, one that attends us tirelessly-a place where, on occasion, you will encounter ghosts and angels, and intimations from the other side.

Christopher Alan Byrne
R593 Discovery Miles 5 930 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Advanced Concepts of Metallurgy in the Design of the UFO is an award winning book, and the author is Who's Who Member of the Year. He has won Entrepreneur of the Year and Expert in Aeronautics from Cambridge Who's Who. The Book has more than 100 photographs in life magazine style, NASA images and nature at play as the gods; such as to expand reading into a page turning set of image and cap. The book is detailed and supposes advances beyond the lacquer coating to be so common to these craft. The theory is metal alloy based, and follows step by step in calculation and combinations; while is extremely precise and advanced. The most significant presentation is an alloy to allow subspace jumps, and includes predominate theory; although example to offset exact electron counts involve elements to teserac jumps. The UFO technology is reviewed in shield, radio, laser etc.; although the predominate topic is advances beyond the ancient or round UFO versus lacquer painted on in chemicals. The motive force of time is explained, and its' mathematics presented in abstract and unreal electron densities; so to retain Newton in motion, force and distance. The book is organized to start in a theory of metal diode to be based in electronic versus global valence of a metal craft, and calcuations are provided; which will evolve into unreal and abstract densities to allow propulsion to the UFO. The product are dozens of Chapters onto intact alloy and content of the metal based UFO. The book puts a case together of sorts of combination, and the ideal design of entirely metallic craft in percentage content is discussed. The simpler rotations of function generation signals are reviewed, and the origins of time to be a mathematical derivative of sets of generator explained.

Time Sutra - Solving Time's Mystery (Paperback): J. F. Johnson Time Sutra - Solving Time's Mystery (Paperback)
J. F. Johnson
R399 Discovery Miles 3 990 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

The nature of time has stood as a great enigma that has puzzled philosophers and physicists since antiquity. Time Sutra explains not only the nature of time, but also the intimate relationship between time and memory. Time is not what we think it is. Our understanding of time is founded on a basic misconception about the nature of our memory. In a clear and methodical way Time Sutra lays out a path of reason-a logical and empirical argument that reacquaints us with something we have long forgotten. Time Sutra is a thread of reason reconnecting us with our original memory. Despite the immense amount of scientific and philosophical literature on the subject of time, something important has been left unsaid. In modern physics there is a surprising lack of evidence for time. The description of reality that physics provides is essentially timeless. Likewise, psychology convincingly demonstrates that our 'sense' of time is not innate, it is learned through culture. And beginning with the earliest philosophers, the idea of time was frequently thought to be an illusion. Nowhere in science or philosophy is there a clear unequivocal statement describing the nature of time. Nevertheless, we think in such a way that we are convinced our life is an experience that takes place in time. But, time-consciousness has never been adequately explained. Written in an accessible, non-technical style, Time Sutra lays out a theory of time that not only solves the enigma of time but also resolves some of the most intractable problems of philosophy. This is a radically different worldview from the way in which we commonly frame our reality-Time Sutra reveals the view that remains after the frame is eliminated.

The Book of Times - From Seconds to Centuries, a Compendium of Measures (Paperback): Lesley Alderman The Book of Times - From Seconds to Centuries, a Compendium of Measures (Paperback)
Lesley Alderman
R425 Discovery Miles 4 250 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

An endlessly fascinating, beautifully designed survey of time--how long things take, how long things last, and how we spend our days

Our relationship to time is complex and paradoxical: Time stands still. Time also flies. Tomorrow is another day. Yet there's no time like the present. We want to do more in less time, but wish we could slow the clock. And despite all our time-saving devices--iPhones, DVRs, high-speed trains--Americans feel that they have less leisure time than ever.

In an era when our time feels fractured and imperiled, The Book of Times encourages readers to ponder time used and time spent. How long does it take to find a new mate, digest a hamburger, or compose a symphony? How much time do we spend daydreaming, texting, and getting ready for work? The book challenges our beliefs and urges us to consider how, and why, some things get faster, some things slow down, and some things never change (the need for seven to eight hours of sleep).

Packed with compelling charts, lists, and quizzes, as well as new and intriguing research, The Book of Times is an addictive, browsable, and provocative look at the idea of time from every direction.

How to Time Travel - Explore the Science, Paradoxes, and Evidence (Paperback): Louis a Del Monte How to Time Travel - Explore the Science, Paradoxes, and Evidence (Paperback)
Louis a Del Monte
R285 Discovery Miles 2 850 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Is it truly possible to secure passage to a time fixed in the past or future? Even before H. G. Wells ignited the world's imagination with his classic 1895 novel, "The Time Machine," time travel has long captivated humankind's curiosity, especially those seeking answers to the universe's most inscrutable laws. According to physicist Louis A. Del Monte, there is ample evidence that time travel has already occurred, as well as an arsenal of scientific data to back up this bold assertion. Now, he reveals his own theoretical research in support of this claim in a thought-provoking, mind-bending new work, "How to Time Travel."

"How to Time Travel" provides insight into this perennially popular topic, covering the science of time travel, proposed time machines, time travel paradoxes, and time travel evidence. Organized into three major sections, the book demystifies the main tenets of this complex subject, including: Time Travel Evidence, The Science of Time Traveling, and Building a Time Machine. From explaining how Einstein's theories of relativity underpin time travel to detailing proposed methods of time travel, this comprehensive book will ensure that you never look at time in quite the same way again.

The book also includes several new contributions to the field, including the Existence Equation Conjecture, the Grandchild Paradox, the Preserve the World Line Rule, and the Time Uncertainty Interval. A fascinating and radical foray into popular science, "How to Time Travel" will enthrall anyone who has a consuming interest in the subject or is newly compelled to mine the universe's most confounding mysteries.

Arthur Stanley Eddington
R325 Discovery Miles 3 250 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

2013 Reprint of 1923 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington was a British astrophysicist of the early 20th century. He was also a philosopher of science and a popularizer of science. The Eddington limit, the natural limit to the luminosity of stars, or the radiation generated by accretion onto a compact object, is named in his honor. He is also famous for his work regarding the theory of relativity. He wrote a number of articles which announced and explained Einstein's theory of general relativity to the English-speaking world. World War I severed many lines of scientific communication and new developments in German science were not well known in England, and vice versa. He also conducted an expedition to observe the Solar eclipse of 29 May 1919 that provided one of the earliest confirmations of relativity, and he became known for his popular expositions and interpretations of the theory.

R341 R319 Discovery Miles 3 190 Save R22 (6%) Ships in 18 - 22 working days

"Discrete Event Physics" introduces a new branch of Physics concerned with elucidating the meaning of concepts traditionally studied in that discipline. It is complementary to Mathematical and Experimental Physics, being focused on the same ideas but having different specific goals.

The theory has a fundamentally dynamic nature based on structured discrete events. Events are defined and interrelated using a formal language developed for such purposes.

This volume extends the theory and discusses applications that clarify its utility in overcoming imperfections in traditional approaches to the treatment of Physics problems: the general inadequacy of the operational paradigm for property definition the long standing problem of probability definition confusion arising from indiscriminate use of the term "wave" the definition of meaning, knowledge and understanding in science the definitions of energy and entropy the solution of the paradox of Einstein, Podolski and Rosen the solution of non-locality problems in double slit interference experiments

The Dance of Time - The Origins of the Calendar (Paperback): Michael Judge The Dance of Time - The Origins of the Calendar (Paperback)
Michael Judge
R171 Discovery Miles 1 710 Ships in 4 - 6 working days

Did you know that the ancient Romans left sixty days of winter out of their calendar, considering these two months a dead time of lurking terror and therefore better left unnamed? That they had a horror of even numbers, hence the tendency for months with an odd number of days? That robed and bearded druids from the Celts stand behind our New Year's figure of Father Time? That if Thursday is Thor's day, then Friday belongs to his faithful wife, Freya, queen of the Norse gods? That the name Easter may derive from the Anglo-Saxon goddess of spring, Eostre, whose consort was a hare, our Easter Bunny?

Three streams of history created the Western calendar--first from the Sumerians, then from the Celtic and Germanic peoples in the North, and finally from Palestine with the rise of Christianity. Michael Judge teases out the contributions of each stream to the shape of the calendar, to the days and holidays, and to associated lore. In them, he finds glimpses of a way of seeing before the mechanical time of clocks, when the rhythms of man and woman matched those of earth and sky, and the sacred was born.

From Adam to Noah-The Numbers Game - Why the Genealogy Puzzles of Genesis 5 and 11 Are in the Bible (Paperback): Leonard Timmons From Adam to Noah-The Numbers Game - Why the Genealogy Puzzles of Genesis 5 and 11 Are in the Bible (Paperback)

R614 Discovery Miles 6 140 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

i>From Adam to Noah-The Numbers Game," shows that the genealogy of Adam in Genesis 5 is a puzzle. Genesis 5 reports that people lived for over 900 years.Where are the clues that the genealogy of Genesis 5 is a puzzle?Here's the first: 1 56 years: Lamech's birth to Adam's death2 56 + 1 years: Lamech's birth to Enoch's disappearance 3 56 years: Lamech's birth to Seth's death Here's the second clue: 416 years: Lamech's death to Kenan's death 416 years: Lamech's birth to Mahalalel's death 416 years: Enosh's death to the birth of Noah's sons And the third clue: 1 84 years: Lamech's birth to Enosh's death 2 84 + 416 years: Jared's death to Noah's death 3 84 years: Enoch's birth to Lamech's birth A collection of real human ages would never display a pattern like this. Solving the puzzle reveals a fully functional, 2500+ year old calendar that is as accurate as our modern calendar. The extracted calendar is based on a 364-day year with a 369-day leap year and a 365-day year that occurs once every 33 years. The average length of a year for this 33-year calendar is 365.242424 days which is very near the length of the vernal equinox year of 365.242374 days on which our calendar is based. It is now clear that the Bible contains science. It's ancient science, but it's real science. The Bible writers were ancient scientists and the Bible is a repository of their work. If you're a scientist, engineer or technician and you've found it impossible to take the Bible seriously, now you can. Just as we were unable to recognize this calendar as a calendar, the science of the Bible has not been recognized as science because its' authors spoke in parables and riddles. This was a part of the Biblical culture. The book of Proverbs says that it will teach the reader how to understand the "words of the wise" which consist of proverbs, riddles and figures (puzzles). "Besides being wise, the Preacher also taught the people knowledge, weighing and studying and arranging proverbs with great care." (Ecc 12:9 RSV) "My mouth shall speak wisdom; the meditation of my heart shall be understanding. I will incline my ear to a proverb; I will solve my riddle to the music of the lyre. (Psa 49:3-4 RSV) So when Jesus taught using parables and riddles he was following a tradition that was ancient when Solomon was king. This kind of riddle extends far beyond the genealogy of Genesis 5. Genesis 1 to 11 contains a collection of riddles woven into a single fabric. The riddles continue through the book of Revelation. Once we understand these riddles we discover that the Bible actually contains a consistent, workable philosophy that can actually explain the way the world works.

This book is about the Theory of Special Relatively (SR), the introductory parts of which, and other general comments on science and physics preceding it, would be of interest to the general reader. The alternative description of SR proposed and developed in the book is essentially that of Newton's classical physics, except for the critical additional of a step properly expressing the travel time of light signals conveying information to the observer. The form of that step, in turn, is dictated by the requirements of SR as expressed through its essence, the Lorentz transformation. Conventional interpretations of SR phenomena are as the observer perceives them, in altered descriptions of space and time. The altered versions differ from those associated with the phenomena at the location of the event creating them, because the light signals, conveying the information from source to observer, involve certain travel times of the signals themselves. Thus, until deciphered, they are not a simple representation of times in the event of interest. When the alternative approach to representation of SR developed in this book is applied, the same results as those from the conventional approaches of SR are obtained. The expressions for quantities such as energy and momentum differ from the corresponding quantities in Newton's model for space and time. The alternative approach in the book simply provides a more intuitive route to and a logical explanation of the relativistic process.
