The unseen universe : or physical speculations on a future state

Balfour Stewart, Peter Guthrie Tait

Beschreibung

In 'The Unseen Universe: Or, Physical Speculations on a Future State,' readers are invited to traverse the boundaries between natural philosophy and metaphysics through a compelling collection of essays that explore the unknown realms of existence beyond the observable universe. This collection harmonizes a diverse array of literary styles, ranging from speculative exposition to reflective inquiry, each carefully woven to address the elusive nature of a potential future state. Though the anthology is penned by the distinguished figures Balfour Stewart and Peter Guthrie Tait, the collective commentary transcends individual authorship, unifying to present significant, thought-provoking investigations into the invisible dimensions of reality. Stewart and Tait, both luminaries in the field of physics, leverage their extensive backgrounds to contribute substantial insights into the discussions surrounding the convergence of science and metaphysical inquiry. The anthology finds its roots in the 19th-century milieu of scientific exploration and philosophical resurgence, alongside movements that questioned previously established boundaries between physics and spirituality. Their profound inquiries are informed by an era of unprecedented advancements and skepticism of purely materialist worldviews, offering a synthesis that challenges and expands the reader's understanding. This anthology is highly recommended for those eager to engage with pioneering thought experiments that elucidate the marriage of scientific rigor and philosophical speculation. 'The Unseen Universe' promises an enriching experience that synthesizes a diverse spectrum of intellectual heritage and forward-thinking contemplation. Thus, it provides an invaluable resource for understanding the multifaceted dialogue between seemingly disparate disciplines and encourages readers to ponder their own perceptions of unseen realities within a shared intellectual tradition.

Elementary Particles -...

Mark Hedges

Elementary particles are the most fundamental building blocks of the universe. Unlike atoms, which can be broken down into protons, neutrons, and electrons, elementary particles are indivisible—they have no known internal structure. These particles, governed by the principles of quantum mechanics, form the basis of all matter and energy interactions. 
The concept of elementary particles has evolved over time. In ancient philosophy, matter was thought to be composed of indivisible units called "atoms," a term coined by the Greek philosopher Democritus. However, modern science has shown that atoms themselves are not fundamental, as they consist of smaller components. By the early 20th century, scientists had discovered the existence of protons, neutrons, and electrons, leading to the birth of particle physics as a discipline. 
The real breakthrough in understanding elementary particles came with the development of quantum mechanics and relativity. In the 1920s and 1930s, physicists formulated quantum field theories that described how particles interact through fundamental forces. By the mid-20th century, experimental discoveries revealed that protons and neutrons were not fundamental but composed of even smaller particles called quarks. This led to the development of the Standard Model of Particle Physics, which remains the best theoretical framework for describing elementary particles and their interactions.

Rites of the Mummy - The K'rla...

Peter Levenda, Jeffrey D. Evans

An arcane ritual reveals a code hidden within Thelema’s most holy book. Over a period of several years, the former head of Kenneth Grant’s Typhonian Order in the United States, conducted a bizarre sexual ritual with elements of Thelema, Lovecraft, and the Egyptian mummification ceremony to unlock a mathematical code buried in plain sight in Aleister Crowley’s Book of the Law. Jeffrey Evans, a follower of Aleister Crowley’s Thelema since his teenage years, had an encounter on a bridge in Washington, DC, with a being he identified as his holy guardian angel. This being—Karla—provided him with the inspiration to begin a series of rituals incorporating Egyptian and Lovecraftian elements in an effort to traverse the Tunnels of Set: pathways on the “dark side” of the Qabalistic Tree of Life. The ritual, conducted with his wife, Ruth Keenan, employed cross-dressing and bondage as well as Cthulhian imagery and chanting, and resulted in a series of revelations concerning the mathematical code hidden within the verses of Crowley’s Book of the Law: a circumstance that Crowley always suspected but was never able to prove, not even with the help of accomplished mathematicians. Evans tried in vain to demonstrate this code to other members of the Typhonian Order, to no avail, but a chance meeting online with Peter Levenda resulted in Levenda’s taking a closer look at the data and what he discovered astounded him. He agreed to help bring this discovery to the attention of the general public. There has been very little new work published in the field of Thelema in the last 10 years or so, at least since the death of Kenneth Grant. Most publishing concerning Crowley has been biographical or reissues of Crowley’s own material. This work is a departure from all of that. It is new material, completely unexpected within the Crowley/Thelema/OTO environment, for it offers a new approach to the mathematical nature of Thelema that so far has been based on Qabalah. This work brings attention to the existence of a sacred geometry within the verses of the Book of the Law: a completely unexpected discovery but nonetheless mathematically verifiable. It bridges the gap between Thelema, Freemasonry, and Templarism, as well as Gnosticism, demonstrating a continuum of esoteric thought spanning millennia.
