DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis volume provides a fascinating snapshot of the future of physics, covering fundamental physics, at the frontiers of research. It comprises a wide variety of contributions from leading thinkers in the field, inspired by the pioneering work of John A. Wheeler. Quantum theory represents a unifying theme within the book, along with topics such as the nature of physical reality, the arrow of time, models of the universe, superstrings, gravitational radiation, quantum gravity and cosmic inflation. Attempts to formulate a final unification of physics are discussed, along with the existence of hidden dimensions of space, space-time singularities, hidden cosmic matter, and the strange world of quantum technology.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDr. Tillich shows here that in spite of the contrast between philosophical and biblical language, it is neither necessary nor possible to separate them from each other. On the contrary, all the symbols used in biblical religion drive inescapably toward the philosophical quest for being. An important statement of a great theologian's position, this book presents an eloquent plea for the essential function of philosophy in religious thought.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOr at least, such an outlook should unite Christians of all theological and church backgrounds. However, alternate visions of reality often infect and corrupt Christians’ thinking. In The Essentials of Christian Thought, eminent theologian and church historian Roger Olson outlines the basic perspective on the world that all Christians, regardless of the place and time in which they are born, have historically held. This underlying metaphysic accords with all orthodox theologies, whether Calvinist or Arminian, Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, or Protestant, but it separates Christianity from other religious and secular perspectives. It is, quite simply, the essential requirement of a Christian view of the world. Bold and incisive, The Essentials of Christian Thought will prompt thoughtful readers and students to more consciously appropriate the core of their faith, guarding against ideas that subtly but necessarily invite compromise.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book is a voyage of discovery through the atoms, solar systems and galaxies of our universe to find ultimate reality. What is the true nature of our universe? How do we fit into it? How may we comprehend and appreciate its marvellous harmony and intelligence? Drawing on the current state of knowledge of the sciences, the author reminds us that much smaller than a microchip is the genome that provides a text longer than eight hundred bibles which living cells can read and respond to it a fraction of a second. These cells consist of nothing but atoms, and if all matter of the universe is made up of atoms with the same intelligence, then this intelligence must be everywhere, all the time. This includes our bodies. What is this intelligence? Where does knowledge come from? How may we know it? Is this the same intelligence that guides the movements of the planets, solar systems and galaxies of our universe? Was it all caused by a 'big bang' or otherwise? Are other universes brought into being, sustained and eventually extinguished, in an endless cycle? The author addresses these and many related questions in the light of modern scientific discoveries. Explanations are given for all, including our unique conscious awareness, which is considered by many to be the most important unsolved mystery of modern science. He argues that the 'language' of cosmic reality is conveyed by intuitive thought, and that through contemplation we are able to slip out of our limited world view and connect with that universal, eternal intelligence, the ultimate reality.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe book contains popular expositions (accessible to readers with no more than a high school mathematics background) on the mathematical theory of infinity, and a number of related topics. These include G?del's incompleteness theorems and their relationship to concepts of artificial intelligence and the human mind, as well as the conceivability of some unconventional cosmological models. The material is approached from a variety of viewpoints, some more conventionally mathematical and others being nearly mystical. There is a brief account of the author's personal contact with Kurt G?del.An appendix contains one of the few popular expositions on set theory research on what are known as "strong axioms of infinity."

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe book brings to light how great and true knowledge is born of intuition, quite different from modern Western method. The ancient Indian method and its secret techniques are examined and shown to be capable of solving various problems of mathematics. The universe we live in has a basic mathematical structure obeying the rules of mathematical measures and relations. All the subjects in mathematics-Multiplication, Division, Factorization, Equations, Calculus, Analytical Conics, etc.-are dealt with in forty chapters, vividly working out all problems, in the easiest ever method discovered so far.
