This book solves many long-standing problems in physics and cosmology, and provides you with a new, more realistic, perspective on our world: · Spacetime is regular Space filled with Time, and not 4-dimensional surrogate · Time is Quantum Fluctuations, like Temperature is Brownian Motion · Gravity is Time Pressure · Milky Way and Bob Lazar’s craft use the same propulsion · There was no Big Bang · Galaxies were materialized by burning time, with shooting-star-like fireworks of matter, with such events randomly scattered in space and in time (check chapter 51 on how). · Matter/antimatter imbalance is local to a galaxy, but balanced in the Universe.

How Things Work provides an accessible introduction to physics for the non-science student. Like the previous editions it employs everyday objects, with which students are familiar, in case studies to explain the most essential physics concepts of day-to-day life. Lou Bloomfield takes seemingly highly complex devices and strips away the complexity to show how at their heart are simple physics ideas. Once these concepts are understood, they can be used to understand the behavior of many devices encountered in everyday life. The sixth edition uses the power of WileyPLUS Learning Space with Orion to give students the opportunity to actively practice the physics concepts presented in this edition. This text is an unbound, three hole punched version. Access to WileyPLUS sold separately.

Two unabridged addresses summarizing aspects of Einstein's Special and General Theories of Relativity comprise this succinct volume. The first, Ether and Relativity, was delivered in 1920 and examines the properties demanded of the ether of space by the theory of relativity. Geometry and Experience, delivered the following year, describes the limits within which the Euclidean system can be held to be approximately true in relation to the concept of a finite universe. Written clearly and concisely, these lectures are a fascinating read for both scientist and layman. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

Writing Mattersoffers writing instructors and students a four-part framework that focuses the rules and conventions of writing through a lens of responsibility, empowering students to own their ideas and to view their writing as consequential.Writing Mattershelps students recognize and respect their role in writing by focusing on four key areas of responsibility: Their responsibility to other writers, to their audience, to their topic, and to themselves.Howard's teaching experience has proven that students are more likely to write effectively and responsibly when they think of themselves as writers rather than as error-makers.Writing Mattersaddresses students respectfully as mature and capable fellow writers in the research and writing process.
