Powering Our Future


Book Description

With nearly all of the world's energy consumption dependent on non-renewable resources, Powering Our Future challenges consumers to support changes that will create sustainable energy in the future. The four biggest energy sources--oil, natural gas, coal, and uranium--currently power our earth. What would happen to our society if we experienced severe shortages of one or more of these resources? Such a glimpse into the future may become reality sooner than we think. Oil production is soon expected to begin a rapid descent, with natural gas in close pursuit. Powering Our Future is an educational tool that opens the door to a future fueled by sustainable, renewable energy. Consumers will learn: - How our world has become dependent on four nonrenewable resources. - How each resource impacts us politically, economically, and environmentally. - How renewable resources such as hydrogen, fuel cells, wind power, solar energy, hydropower, and more are waiting in the wings. - How the transition to renewable resources will take place, offering economically stable and environmentally safe choices. Powering Our Future is a solution-oriented guide that will empower you to make more informed choices as a voter, a contributor to a global economy, and a citizen of the earth.




Six Degrees


Book Description

In astonishing and unflinching detail, a noted science journalist explains how Earth's climate will be impacted with every degree of increase in global warming--and what can be done about it now.




Cosmochemistry


Book Description

Cosmochemistry is a rapidly evolving field of planetary science and the second edition of this classic text reflects the exciting discoveries made over the past decade from new spacecraft missions. Topics covered include the synthesis of elements in stars, behaviour of elements and isotopes in the early solar nebula and planetary bodies, and compositions of extra-terrestrial materials. Radioisotope chronology of the early Solar System is also discussed, as well as geochemical exploration of planets by spacecraft, and cosmochemical constraints on the formation of solar systems. Thoroughly updated throughout, this new edition features significantly expanded coverage of chemical fractionation and isotopic analyses; focus boxes covering basic definitions and essential background material on mineralogy, organic chemistry and quantitative topics; and a comprehensive glossary. An appendix of analytical techniques and end-of-chapter review questions, with solutions available at www.cambridge.org/cosmochemistry2e, also contribute to making this the ideal teaching resource for courses on the Solar System's composition as well as a valuable reference for early career researchers.

Einstein's Enigma or Black Holes in My Bubble Bath


Book Description

This is a fascinating and enjoyable popular science book on gravity and black holes. It offers an absorbing account on the history of research on the universe and gravity from Aristotle via Copernicus via Newton to Einstein. The author possesses high literary qualities and is celebrated relativist. The physics of black holes constitutes one of the most fascinating chapters in modern science. At the same time, there is a fanciful quality associated with this strange and beautiful entity. The black hole story is undoubtedly an adventure through physics, philosophy, history, fiction and fantasy. This book is an attempt to blend all these elements together.




Our Sun


Book Description

Presents an all-encompassing guide to the sun, detailing its history, structure, and effect on human civilization.




The Infinite Holographic Quantum Physical Universe!


Book Description

My name is J. E. Andersen, and it is not my name you should hang yourself in, but my new 5-dimensional universal holographic quantum physics model. This story starts up in 1976, when I had an incredible out-of-body experience, opened my eyes to the paranormal side-lying universe, and began exploring this experience. This led me to the right universal physics model, the physics model that I describe in my books. It was soon discovered that the 3-dimensional physics model would not be able to hold all the way. In 1986, I started a brand-new hologram model, which later turned out to reveal just the right active universe, which is 5-dimensional in the active universal engine room. We can only see, experience and detect the actual 'substance' coming out of the very innermost field of this field system, the Higg's fields! The Higg's fields are located inside the atoms, but atoms can also be empty, i.e., without the Higg's fields, and then we are inside the famous stealth technology, the 'invisibility technology'!! Remember that it is atoms that are the building blocks of the universe. It is precisely this stealth technology that comes out of this 5-dimensional very active holographic quantum physics, which is the next big breakthrough in all types of research today. The fact that the universe is no longer just physical leaves behind a universe that is totally 100% holographic, and which is powered 100% by an active 5-dimensional quantum physics. There are no physical particles in this universe, only this holographic 'matter' that can actually disappear and come back again, and now we have 'revealed' stealth technology. Stealth technology is about the relationship between the atoms and the inner Higg's fields. The atoms can actually operate completely empty, and now this 'object' can no longer be seen, due to the lack of Higg's 'substance'. This is more than interesting, this also very exciting, and completely new to you, because, this is the truth about the creation of the universe, expansion, the unifying mass inside all gravitational fields, which turn into 'pressure cookers', and develop moons into planets, planets into gas planets, gas planets into stars, and the stars burn up the physical liquid plasma, transforming this plasma into the totally invisible starlight, and thus becomes a black hole. It is the gravitational fields that create, shape and develop absolutely everything that is visible in this universe. Read my books about technology and physics.
