Book Description
Gods Universe in Four Dimensions examines several subjects, such as economics and the cause of the unemployment problem, from a point of view that is a blend of science and philosophy. Author Les Burgesss controversial stances may upset some people, but his belief is that is better to present the truth as he has interpreted than to perpetuate untruths that could lead to misery and destruction. Burgess emphatically supports the Christian faith, and he hopes to convert all potential Christians by explaining how God (and religion) works and why some people believe and others not. He further explores the various ideas and concepts below: Spherical space-time explained A globular map of the universe Distorted view of the universe Why the universe is everlasting Complete theory of Einsteins four dimensions The speed of light and curved space-time How the cosmic horizon works in four dimensions. Progression of time and motion Understanding the Holy Trinity doctrine The justification of God and the Cross The complementary state of the logic of nature and God Metaphysics and miracles Theory of interaction of culture and religion, but only one God New economic recovery and control strategy Gods Universe in Four Dimensions offers a solution to every problem. Logic is universal!

Book Description
Space, Time and Einstein by J. B. KennedyThis book is a threefold invitation to the philosophy of space andtime. It introduces - gently and simply - the new, revolutionary ideasof Einstein. It introduces the concepts and arguments of philosophers,both ancient and modern, which have proved of lasting value. Finally,it introduces the most recent discoveries and the debates raging now,in philosophy and physics, and points out how future developmentsmay unfold.The text does aim to teach one skill. Careful thinking is at the coreof our conception of philosophy. Now that many nations havereorganized themselves as democracies, which depend so much onreasoned debate and persuasion, careful thinking has become afoundation of our social and political lives as well. But clear thinkingis an art: it requires patience, practice and cultivation. This text doesnot teach or use formal logic, but it pays great attention to the careful analysis and interpretation of ideas. It slows down to dissect moment-ous claims and seeks out the hidden assumptions underlying the greatarguments of the past. It aims throughout to show how the analysis ofarguments deepens our appreciation of philosophy, and points theway towards future progress.This is a conservative text in the sense that it covers the standardtopics, outlines mainstream debates and introduces the views of someleading contemporary philosophers. Unusually, from the outset, itemphasizes the controversy between Einstein and Lorentz over theinterpretation of relativity (following essays by J. S. Bell and the moremathematical text by D. Bohm), which is now again a hot topic ofdebate. For accessibility, I have edited the quotations to conform to auniform terminology, ruthlessly preferred concrete over technicalterms (e.g. "rulers and clocks" rather than "reference frames") andpostponed all spacetime diagrams to an appendix. In general, I havefavoured bold, plausible claims and used the guide for further readingin Appendix E to point toward more advanced and nuanced litera-ture. This approach has worked well in courses I have taught atStanford University and the University of Notre Dame in the US andthe University of Manchester in the UK. There was no room forchapters on debates over space and time in the feminist philosophy ofscience and in art history, but some reference.

Travels in Four Dimensions

ISBN: 9780198752554
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 275
Book Description
Does time really flow, or is that simply an illusion? Did time have a beginning? What does it mean to say that time has a direction? Do space and time really exist, or are they simply the constructions of our minds? Robin Le Poidevin provides a clear, witty, and stimulating introduction to these deep questions, and many other mind-boggling puzzles and paradoxes. No prior knowledge of philosophy is required to enjoy this book. The universe might seem very different after reading it.

Hyperspace
Author: Michio Kaku
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199857768
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 377
Book Description
Are there other dimensions beyond our own? Is time travel possible? Can we change the past? Are there gateways to parallel universes? All of us have pondered such questions, but there was a time when scientists dismissed these notions as outlandish speculations. Not any more. Today, they are the focus of the most intense scientific activity in recent memory. In Hyperspace, Michio Kaku, author of the widely acclaimed Beyond Einstein and a leading theoretical physicist, offers the first book-length tour of the most exciting (and perhaps most bizarre) work in modern physics, work which includes research on the tenth dimension, time warps, black holes, and multiple universes. The theory of hyperspace (or higher dimensional space)--and its newest wrinkle, superstring theory--stand at the center of this revolution, with adherents in every major research laboratory in the world, including several Nobel laureates. Beginning where Hawking's Brief History of Time left off, Kaku paints a vivid portrayal of the breakthroughs now rocking the physics establishment. Why all the excitement? As the author points out, for over half a century, scientists have puzzled over why the basic forces of the cosmos--gravity, electromagnetism, and the strong and weak nuclear forces--require markedly different mathematical descriptions. But if we see these forces as vibrations in a higher dimensional space, their field equations suddenly fit together like pieces in a jigsaw puzzle, perfectly snug, in an elegant, astonishingly simple form. This may thus be our leading candidate for the Theory of Everything. If so, it would be the crowning achievement of 2,000 years of scientific investigation into matter and its forces. Already, the theory has inspired several thousand research papers, and has been the focus of over 200 international conferences. Michio Kaku is one of the leading pioneers in superstring theory and has been at the forefront of this revolution in modern physics. With Hyperspace, he has produced a book for general readers which conveys the vitality of the field and the excitement as scientists grapple with the meaning of space and time. It is an exhilarating look at physics today and an eye-opening glimpse into the ultimate nature of the universe.

Beyond Time & Space
Author: Chuck Missler
Publisher: Koinonia House
ISBN: 1578216516
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 71
Book Description
Are there more than four dimensions to physical reality?Is it possible to traverse time as well as space?Is there a reality beyond our traditional concepts of time and space? The startling discovery of modern science is that our physical universe is actually finite. Scientists now acknowledge that the universe had a beginning. They call the singularity from which it all began the "Big Bang." While the detail among the many variants of these theories remain quite controversial, the fact that there was a definite beginning has gained widespread agreement. This is, of course, what the Bible has maintained throughout its 66 books.
