While layman may enjoy many parts of this book there are mathematical parts that may be challenging. This book describes a theory of the multiverse - an infinite expanse of space in which island universes are scattered including our universe. It develops the concept of universe particles and their interactions that lead to colliding universes, the creation of universe - anti universe pairs, and other dynamical phenomena: Tachyonic universes, left and right handed universes and so on. By making the multiverse a complex 16-dimensional space the author is able to show many newly found cosmological phenomena (by the Planck observatory and NASA's WMAP laboratory) can be understood: the origin of the cosmological constant, the origin of left and right handed universes (Our universe appears to favor left-handedness.), deviations from uniform expansion of our universe, spatial asymmetries of our universe, our lopsided universe, and an understanding of the origin for the newly found Web of Galaxies (that links all the groups of galaxies) in our universe. In addition the author develops a 16-dimensional baryonic gauge field, a universe particle quantum field theory representing expanding/contracting universes, an extension of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation to universes residing in a flat 16-dimensional multiverse called the Flatverse, features of the sister universe that are the source of inertial reference frames ..., and evidence for a wormhole connecting our universe and its sister universe. A new view of a new, larger reality.

Einstein in Verse - Introduction to Special and General Relativity (Paperback): Feliciano T. Bantilan Einstein in Verse - Introduction to Special and General Relativity (Paperback)

Books on Einstein and his theories abound. However, this book is uniquely different. It presents key concepts in Special and General Relativity, in verse form. The aim is to make Einstein's insights more fun to learn. It uses rhyme and rhythm to render reading memorable and thus pleasurable. Moreover, what is pleasurable may foster a better understanding, as well as retention, of ideas. Use of verse apparently worked effectively in ancient times: in the Iliad and Odyssey of Homer among the Greeks; in the Vedas and Upanishads of ancient India; both rhyme, in the form of alliteration, and rhythm in Beowulf among the Anglo-Saxons, etc. The target reader is college-educated, or college student in third year, or anyone willing to puzzle it out, who desires to understand why time slows down and lengths contract when objects are in relative motion; how Science, Einstein's theories in particular, can contribute to answering the perennial question: what it is to be human; how to time travel to the future by staying young; etc. Relativity has a reputation of being difficult. For example, curvature of spacetime seems so abstruse, so forbidding a concept. But, do not disarm yourself prematurely. Do not be intimidated. As it turns out, curvature of spacetime is tidal gravity, the cause of familiar ocean tides. You may even have a gut feel for it. This book will not teach you how to solve problems in Relativity. Nor will it teach you how to prove The shortest distance takes the longest time. No, we will spend our time grasping Einstein's insights, their implications on Reality and on mind; and amid our quest, on what it means to be human. More fun to learn does not mean that verse form is the lazy road to learning. It does not mean that verse form makes the difficult easy, or, the rough, plain. No, the difficult remains difficult; the rough remains rough. And to grasp it, you have to exert a determined, sustained effort and be willing to stretch your mind to accommodate the wild notions in Relativity. The idea motivating this book is to make the stretching more enjoyable relative to prose by using the rhyme-rhythm features of verse. But, stretch your mind, you have to. There is no royal, poetic road to learning There is a feature in our history, that stands out in view of our concerns in conveying knowledge-a feature that the ancients aptly used. It is the oral tradition. Since the first humans appeared, oral tradition was the sole means in transmitting knowledge for a very long time, indeed. If we fit the whole time since the first humans lived into a year, then writing started only about the morning of 30th of December. That is a huge time in which oral tradition operated, i.e. about 99.5% of our time as humans. What does this imply? We transmitted information orally; and we received information aurally This oral-aural conveyance was the way for all information, including that of knowledge. In addition, during the five hundred thousand years or so, oral tradition honed our brains to receive knowledge aurally. To me, this implies that our brains have a natural deep resonance to features of language in the oral tradition. The key language features in the oral tradition are the rhymes and rhythms of verse. I wrote this book in verse, inspired by this thought: to make the most out of the resonant structures in our brains engendered by oral tradition, to convey the deep insights of Einstein on Reality. It is my sincere wish that Einstein's ideas will find recognition in the public understanding and thus inform the public outlook. I invite you, everyone: Hop in with me, a time machine we ride, Intent on chasing space-time concepts wild; To fathom Einstein's insights into Reality, In his Special and General Relativity. Like Wordsworth, a lonely cloud wandering, Through space and time we will be winging, Not to appreciate the daffodils of Nature; But to understand Nature's Architecture

In the grand tradition of the previous volume of this devastating series, further arguments against the validity of special relativity are presented, this time by demolishing the experimental "evidence" of the long-lived muons. Also, an experimental method to disprove the relativity of simultaneity is presented. Unlike the previous volume, this one also brings death and mayhem to general relativity by dragging the famous twins out of the special theory and into the general where they belong, and slaying them there. It also tackles spacetime curvature, and receives a visit from Einstein himself, via a paper from 1918, in which the noted physicist attempts to rebut some of the arguments made in the present volume.
