Book Description

Don't be fooled by the "vibrating strings" of Brian Greene's "Elegant Universe" on PBS NOVA. SUPER COSMOS tells you what is really going on in the "black world." The mystery of observed anti-gravitating dark energy that is three-quarters of the universe is explained. The nano-technological control of dark zero point vacuum energy shaping the fabric of space-time is called "metric engineering." The physics of how your mind emerges from your body, CIA experiments in "remote viewing," flying saucer propulsion and star gate time travel to parallel universes in hyperspace are explained. This is physics you will not find in any other book! The ideas are explained as part of the thrilling true adventures of the "Indiana Jones" of post-modern physics.

Book Description

Astronomical photographs contain an enormous amount of information. This presents extremely interesting problems when one wishes to produce digitised sky atlases, to archive the digitised material, to develop sophisticated devices to do the digitising, and to create software to procecc the vast amounts of data. All these activities are necessary to be able to do astronomy. One such activity is the important, large-scale optical identification of objects which also emit radiation at other wavelengths. Other activities of the past decade include a multiplicity of surveys that have been made on galaxies and clusters of galaxies. This book treats, in five sections, the existing and future surveys, their digitisation and their impact on astronomy. It is a reference for people in the field and for those who wish to engage in using or producing sky surveys.

Book Description

One in the series New Dialogues in Philosophy, edited by Dale Jacquette, Charles Taliaferro, a leading philosopher of religion, presents several fictional dialogues among characters with contrasting views on the existence of God. The views express the many standard positions: theism, atheism, skepticism, and other nuanced arguments about the nature of God. In a series of five inspired, original debates, Taliaferro taps into several famous exchanges, including those among Antony Flew, Basil Mitchell and R. M. Hare; between Frederick Copleston and Bertrand Russell; and between Copleston and A. J. Ayer. The book includes a set of observations about the nature and conduct of debate: providing charitable interpretations of opposing sides and allowing interlocutors time to develop their points.

Book Description

Author David Kolzion, a refugee from Galang, Indonesia, immigrated to Australia over ten years ago. The Voice of God's Rock tells of his efforts to learn and accept new ideas as he embarked on a spiritual journey that spans three countries and thirty years. In this, the fifth and final edition of his story, Kolzion asks such speculative questions as, "Is God able to raise up His children out of rocks for Abraham?" For ten years, Kolzion studied the ancient Hebrew Scripture--the Book of the People--and he details his long and arduous process to reach understanding. By telling the fascinating tale of his immigration from a refugee camp in Indonesia to a boat that carried him to Australia, Kolzion shares the spiritual experiences that led up to his eventual departure from traditional Christianity. By openly sharing his journey, which explores the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, he encourages the reader to actively question their own religious beliefs. The Voice of God's Rock will certainly spark lively spiritual discussions throughout the world, as readers learn that through their own studies, they may also teach others to seek new spiritual ideas.
