I am not the only one that noticed it. Thousands if not hundreds of thousands do believe in what I embrace today. Certainly not millions because I can see the darkness of the truth everywhere as I listen and watch the news.

For many centuries we have been told that the earth is a Globe...

"Todo es precario. La condición humana es tan frágil como las gigantescas estructuras que nos rodean y nos parecen inmortales."
Nuestro destino se decidió una centésima de nanosegundo después del Big Bang. Cuando materia y antimateria eran equivalentes, cuando el universo podía volver a ser energía pura en cualquier instante, bastó una levísima preferencia del bosón de Higgs por la materia para que surgiera el mundo en que vivimos. "He...

The first section the book, "Deconstructing Physics" surveys modern concepts in physics and astronomy. This section helps make quarks, baryons, and bosons understandable, and in doing so makes modern science accessible to non-physicists. The second section of the book, "The Nature of Space" introduces a group of cosmological concepts. The author uses a series of analogies to help explain interesting, but often opaque, subjects, such as dark matter,...
