Bridging Spirit and Science -...

Martin K. Ettington

Spirit and Science are viewed as opposing views. I have lived my life in the middle of this divide. Trained as an engineer and scientist, I was taught to trust logic, mathematics, and experimental proof.  
Yet my personal experiences — from moments of prophecy to direct awareness of subtle energies — convinced me that there is more to reality than conventional science admits.  
For years I tried to keep the two worlds separate: the rational and the mystical. But over time, the boundary dissolved. I realized that both perspectives describe the same universe from different vantage points.  
My work, and this book in particular, is about restoring the unity that once existed between them. 
The purpose of this book is not to replace science with mysticism, nor to reduce spiritual experience to chemistry or neurology. Rather, it aims to show that consciousness, energy, and matter are aspects of a single integrated system.

Black Holes and Beyond - The...

Dirk Fallon

Black holes are some of the most fascinating and mysterious objects in the universe. These regions of space are so dense that their gravitational pull is strong enough to prevent anything, even light, from escaping. The term "black hole" was first coined by physicist John Archibald Wheeler in 1967, though the concept dates back to the early 20th century, when Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity suggested that objects could collapse into singularities, points of infinite density. A black hole is the result of such a collapse, where a star's mass is concentrated in an infinitely small space.
At the heart of a black hole is the singularity, surrounded by a boundary known as the event horizon. The event horizon marks the point beyond which nothing can escape the black hole’s gravitational influence. This includes not only matter but also radiation, which is why black holes appear "black." Despite their invisibility, black holes are detectable through their interactions with surrounding matter, such as the accretion of gas and dust that emits detectable radiation.
The formation of a black hole typically begins when a massive star exhausts its nuclear fuel. Without the outward pressure from nuclear fusion to counterbalance gravity, the core of the star collapses under its own weight. If the star is massive enough, this collapse can continue, compressing the core into a singularity. The outer layers of the star are expelled in a supernova explosion, and the remaining core becomes a black hole.

Environmental Engineering - The...

Phil Gilberts

Environmental engineering encompasses a broad range of disciplines, including but not limited to water resources engineering, air quality engineering, solid waste management, environmental chemistry, environmental microbiology, and ecological engineering. 
  
In water resources engineering, environmental engineers work on designing and managing systems for the treatment and distribution of drinking water, as well as the collection, treatment, and disposal of wastewater. They also deal with issues related to stormwater management, flood control, and erosion prevention. 
  
Air quality engineering focuses on monitoring and controlling air pollutants to minimize their impact on human health and the environment. This includes designing systems for industrial emissions control, developing strategies to reduce vehicle emissions, and assessing indoor air quality in buildings. 
  
Solid waste management involves the collection, recycling, treatment, and disposal of solid waste in an environmentally responsible manner. Environmental engineers work to minimize the generation of waste, promote recycling and composting, and manage hazardous waste streams safely.
