This volume provides a balanced set of reviews which introduce the central topics in the philosophy of time. This is the first introductory anthology on the subject to appear for many years; the contributors are distinguished, and two of the essays are specially written for this collection. In their introduction, the editors summarise the background to the debate, and show the relevance of issues in the philosophy of time for other branches of philosophy and for science.
The purpose of this book is to examine the possibility of traversing the future from the past as a means to advance humanity, civilization and the natural world, we shepherd for the cosmic consciousness. It presents images of paintings from Renaissance artists who envisioned spacetime, Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) and Extraterrestrials in their masterpieces. Some paintings, particularly from Leonardo de Vinci and other masters depicted the technology that is evident today and more than 500 years from their lives. Either they were transported to the future by UFOs in their paintings or envisioned the future through out-of-body experiences, like dreams, through the hyperspace of the 5th dimension. What is once perceived as imaginary if accurate may be an empirically difficult to confirm our three-dimensional reality? The argument presented by Goldberg (1998) is presented that "all humans are time travelers through past, present and future lives." The supposition that supercivilizations of the ancient world, like Mu and Atlantis, and those of a millennium or more in the future have readily traversed spacetime and altered the past, present and future of mankind and the planet is presented. Regression hypnosis of tens of thousands of patients by Dr. Goldberg (1998) serves as a portal into this intervention and its effects on civilization, technological and spiritual advancement. Prophecies of great seers, like Michel de Nostradamus and Edgar Cayce are examined as evidence that they envisioned access to the future from the past through the 5th dimension. The extraterrestrial through the ages is revealed from its earthly origin in Mu, Egypt and the political gridlock evident in the U. S. today. Two distinct pathways are acknowledged that affect every civilization. The path of ascension in abundance leads to civilization rising. Descension of these civilizations occurs when spiritual growth and enlightenment directly between the cosmic consciousness, and us is deferred by the pursuit of secular obsessions, greed, envy and vanity. At any given time in space, both paths (Yen and Yang) are present and stimulate the development of the other. The planet and all living things are endangered when the scale is weighed down with themes congruent to descension. This pathway leads to nature's cataclysm as a means to break hegemony over God's creations and restore balance. The rise and fall of great civilizations throughout the ages are wedded to this cyclical-linear model of birth, death and rebirth. Each of the preceding civilizations, in turn, eventually spawn more advanced civilizations. Like the numerical time of day when it reaches its highest number on a watch or clock, supercivilization descends into ancient predecessors of modern civilizations.
Scotch had worked for the Air Force for most of his adult life, but nothing in his training prepared him for what would happen over the course of a double-shift during the Christmas holidays... not so far away, in Earth's distant future. He was to meet the rarely-glimpsed subject of fables & legends... a mysterious stranger known as stealthpilot1 - who would prove to appear in shape & form... uncannily similar to Scotch. The two of them, working together, were to shape the course of humankind. Date 48 offers a unique perspective to the question, "How many hours in a day?" At the same time it sheds new light on the subject, the book also introduces you to stealthpilot1 - someone you may or may not already be familiar with... or have met before.
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.
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.
Time travel novel comparing the United States to the Roman Empire. A cross between the Da Vinci Code and Back to the Future.
South Florida: 1530AD and Indian tribal wars are raging. The Ponctoan Tribe is teetering on extinction. An ancient relic is passed on to a trusted Ponctoan Warrior by the tribal medicine chief. With it, he learns powerful lessons. Lessons that will level the playing field in war and that begins with a time-travel odyssey that starts in Davistown Pennsylvania in 1966. With him, he takes the tribal war spear of his people. It is his only ticket through space and time. However, there are those who will do anything to acquire it and the young warrior must reach into his ancient training of war to survive the future
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.
"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
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.
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.
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. |
