Описание: How did life start? How did something capable of replicating itself emerge from the primordial soup? How did it defy the odds? And how did it carry on seeking out the very mutations that enable survival? Living organisms are controlled by a single molecule - DNA. Yet the study of physics tells us that the behaviour of single molecules is also controlled by the laws of quantum mechanics. The implications of this for biology have not been fully thought through. Until now. In this debut, Johnjoe McFadden puts forward a theory of quantum evolution. He shows how living organisms have the ability to will themselves into action. Indeed, such an ability may be life's most fundamental attribute. This has radical implications. Evolution may not be random at all, as recent evolutionary theories have taught: rather, cells may, in certain circumstances, be able to choose to mutate particular genes that provide an advantage in the environment in which the cell finds itself.
The most fascinating mysteries in modern physics seem to point us in that direction. As impossible as it seems--that other universes came before ours, float alongside ours, or even mirror ours--the evidence is surprisingly convincing.
In his most mind-blowing, sweeping work since Schrцdinger's Kittens and the Search for Reality, acclaimed science writer and astrophysicist John Gribbin takes readers In Search of the Multiverse, launching an extraordinary journey to the frontiers of reality. Touching on the newest research on quantum physics, thermodynamics, string theory, and even the nature of God, this brilliant tour of the current state of cosmology also goes beyond the realm of settled science to the astonishing questions theoretical physicists have only now begun to ask.
Gribbin has long been known for his ability to explain even the most bewildering and complex ideas in the simplest of terms, and that skill is fully on display here. In this new book, he reveals why even the greatest thinkers can't explain the realities of quantum physics without bumping up against the unimaginable. He explores certain anomalies in our Universe that only make sense when you incorporate ideas that were once found only in science fiction. But which fantastical notion of alternate universes is the right one?
Gribbin guides you expertly through the competing Multiverse theories, who thought them up, and what problems they were hoping to solve with such outlandish ideas. You'll visit a realm of infinite space containing an infinite number of regions separated by infinite distances and ruled by different sets of physical laws. You'll drift along an infinite time line, on which different universes are strung out, one after the other, like beads on a wire. And you'll leaf through an infinitely thick book stuffed with an infinite number of pages: each page a different universe, existing in a different dimension--tantalizingly close together, but eternally unable to communicate with each other.
If our universe is three-dimensional and infinite, how could it be inside something else? Is it possible to travel to one of these alternate universes? Are particles traveling there every moment? How can scientists prove the existence of the Multiverse if they can't travel to it? Read In Search of the Multiverse and enter a world that is more mind-bending, thought-provoking, and imagination-sparking than the fantasy worlds you'd discover in a bookstore full of science fiction novels.

Emergence of the Omniverse (2020) is one important tool of liberation from our presumed status as a prison planet for Souls in an enforced, unconscious reincarnation birth-death cycle that cosmologist Wes Penre and Futurist Webre document, providing us with powerful strategies to exit the false Afterlife/Interlife Reincarnation Matrix into the larger Omniverse. The Omniverse Equation is: Omniverse = Multiverse + Spiritual Dimensions Intelligent Civilizations of Souls ] Spiritual Beings + Source (God)] Alfred Lambremont Webre's book Exopolitics founded the science of relations among civilizations in the multiverse. Webre's ground-breaking initial book on the Omniverse integrated empirical data from intelligent civilizations in the multiverse and from the intelligent civilization of souls in the Interlife, demonstrating a functioning ecology of intelligence in the dimensions of the Omniverse. Futurist Alfred Lambremont Webre's principal social contributions have been (1) founding the science of Exopolitics through his 2000 book Exopolitics, (2) the 2014 discovery of the Omniverse as the 3rd major cosmological body after the Universe and the Multiverse] through which humanity understands the cosmos, and (3) the development of the Positive Future Equation that describes Soul development in our Universe & Omniverse.

Описание: Kept hidden by the United States government for decades, the Site is a place where magic is real. But that doesnt mean that everything happening there is sparkly. Soul-sucking policies and layers of stifling bureaucracy threaten to take all the fun out of magic. Harris, a newbie Conjurer, starts his first day of work at the Site bursting with excitement: hes been brought on for an extremely big project happening the very next day. In a triumph over its habitual inefficiency, the Site manages to carry out its plan and conjure an actual dragon to be used by the military. The dragon (Zoth-Avarex, the self-proclaimed greatest dragon in the multiverse) immediately eats the person next to him, snatches a "princess" from the ranks of the Conjuring Department, and flies away to the Space Needle. There he manipulates the media, outwits the Sites bumbling management, demands sixty-three billion dollars worth of treasure (because Smaug was said to have had sixty-two billion in his hoard), threatens to destroy the city-and installs a couple of food trucks. The "princess" is the twin sister of Harriss crush Ana, and the fiancee of his new friend Jake. Harris, Ana, and Jake team up with a rule-breaking magician on a quest to send the smart-ass, narcissistic dragon back from whence he came. Theyll need to travel to storied realms in order to find the magical items needed to defeat the dragon. As they quest through red tape and various familiar fantasy elements, Harris will need to somehow make his timidity, inexperience, and idealism work for him. Meanwhile, tension rises as the "princess" has escape plans of her own, and the Site management sends an alternate hero off in a rowboat to visit a surfing Merlin-a mission that ends up a lot more perilous than anyone had anticipated. While this book skewers the same fantasy genre it gleefully inhabits, it also pokes fun at corporate culture, todays obsession with wealth and celebrity, and our denial that life is anything more than meets the eye. Hapless Harris, believing in magic all along, learns to apply what hes picked up between the pages of fantasy literature.

Is life meaningful? How would the universe have to be made to persuade us toward our purpose? Is there any evidence that we live in such a universe?
Modern science has taught us that the fundamental workings of the universe often run counter to our intuitions: time does not flow, it is frozen in a continuum with space; a single particle of matter can create a wave-like interference pattern; and our perception does not reveal reality but instead increases our fitness to survive. Meaning in the Multiverse: A Skeptic's Guide to a Loving Cosmos shows the flaws in our intuitions on universal meaning and our place in the universe.
Utilizing metaphysics and cosmology, author and scientist Justin Harnish tackles the interrelatedness of meaning and existence, explores our ability to create virtual consciousness, uncovers our recruitment as a deep-learning program for the universe, and illuminates the optimization routine running on a massively parallel quantum computer. If we are going to ask the question, "what is the meaning of it all" anyway... it is best to leverage the latest science of existence and the latest interrogations of experience.
Similar to how Brian Greene's The Hidden Reality stood at the vanguard of physics and described ten different theoretical multiverses, Meaning in the Multiverse speculates on universal meaning in an existence fundamentally made of matter, information, and computation. Books as different as What We Talk About When We Talk About God by Rob Bell, Sean Carrol's The Big Picture, and Waking Up by Sam Harris are the supernatural, poetic, and personal arguments, respectively, against an all-natural, universal meaning.
Meaning in the Multiverse: A Skeptic's Guide to a Loving Cosmos is the first book to speculate that meaning is transmitted to us through an all-natural, computational multiverse.The multiverse is persuading us to live an examined life, one more aligned to our shared meaning.
* To be mindful in our experiences.
* To flow with existence especially in pursuits that further science, society, or culture.
Man's search for meaning has been using a water witching rod when tools like the Hubble Space Telescope are available. Meaning in the Multiverse: A Skeptic's Guide to a Loving Cosmos, will take off the lens cap and stare into the true source of human meaning-the dynamic multiverse.

Описание: In contrast to buildings divided by walls, monospace buildings are determined far less by its shell than by a reciprocal relationship between space and practices, objects, materials, and human bodies. Using the example of such one-room-architectures, this book explores the potential of an actor-network-theory (ANT) approach to space in the field of architecture. Sabine Hansmann focuses on the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts in Norwich, England by Foster Associates (1978) to investigate the mutual entanglement of people, objects and building. She traces the work that is necessary in "doing" space and thus suggests a re-conceptualisation of space in architectural theory.
