On Spacetime as a Damped Oscillator and The Dark Universe

Balungi Francis

Sinopse

The universe is full of matter and the attractive force of gravity pulls all matter together.The expansion of the universe has not been slowing due to gravity, as everyone thought, it has been accelerating.Maybe it was a result of a long-discarded version of Einstein's theory of gravity, one that contained what was called a "cosmological constant." Maybe there was some strange kind of energy-fluid that filled space. Maybe there is something wrong with Einstein's theory of gravity and a new theory could include some kind of field that creates this cosmic acceleration.It turns out that roughly 68% of the universe is dark energy. Dark matter makes up about 27%. The rest - everything on Earth, everything ever observed with all of our instruments, all normal matter - adds up to less than 5% of the universe. Come to think of it, maybe it shouldn't be called "normal" matter at all, since it is such a small fraction of the universe.Balungi Francis explains this major conundrum in modern science, modifies General relativity and gives a solution to the cause of an accelearting expansion of the Universe.This book provides solutions to the following major questions In Physics:What is the cause of the observed accelerating expansion of the universe (the de Sitter phase)? Are the observations rightly interpreted as the accelerating expansion of the universe, or are they evidence that the cosmological principle is false?Is the universe homogeneous and isotropic at large enough scales, as claimed by the cosmological principle and assumed by all models that use the Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker metric, including the current version of the ΛCDM model, or is the universe inhomogeneous or anisotropic?Is the Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker metric the right metric to use for our universe?Why does the zero-point energy of the vacuum not cause a large cosmological constant? What cancels it out?Is dark energy a pure cosmological constant or are models of quintessence such as phantom energy applicable?Not since  James Clerk Maxwell celebrated best-seller a Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field and  Carlo Rovelli  Reality Is Not What It Seems: The Journey to Quantum Gravity  has physics been so vividly, intelligently, mathematically  and entertainingly revealed. This is a First Edition to the study of spacetime and dark energy .

Leadership Moments from NASA -...

Elizabeth Howell, Dr. Dave Williams

The NASA way: lessons on leadership, teamwork, and corporate culture. How does NASA take on seemingly insurmountable challenges, recover from tragedy and continue to attract the best and brightest talent?
		 
Space exploration is as much a story of leadership and teamwork as it is a story of exploration and discovery. Leadership Moments from NASA delves into the culture of the famed organization and examines the leadership styles and insights of NASA senior executives spanning five decades of human spaceflight to share the lessons they learned from critical moments. How did they prioritize? How did they resolve differences? How did they decide what to do when no one had done it before? How did they build highly competent teams? How did they build organizational resilience? How did they fight complacency and rebuild a culture of safety and innovation?
		 
Through the use of NASA oral histories and interviews, this book shows how NASA recovered from tragedy and adversity, and how it developed a culture of competency that continues to attract the best and brightest.

Earth and Space - Unraveling the...

Mike Crawford

This bundle is a comprehensive exploration of the forces that shape our planet—and beyond. This engaging volume merges three interconnected scientific fields to offer a captivating look at Earth's dynamic systems and their cosmic parallels.
Begin with Geology, the foundational science of Earth’s structure and processes. Learn how tectonic plates shift to create mountains and earthquakes, how minerals form, and how rocks record the history of Earth across billions of years. Uncover the secrets buried deep within Earth's crust, from volcanoes and fossil records to the power of erosion and glaciation.
Next, venture into Astrogeology, where Earth science meets space exploration. This field applies geological principles to other celestial bodies—such as the Moon, Mars, and asteroids. Discover how craters form on the Moon, what Martian soil is made of, and what geological features on distant planets can teach us about Earth’s own evolution.
Finally, immerse yourself in Hydrology, the study of water in all its forms and movements. From underground aquifers to the ocean’s currents, this section covers the water cycle, river systems, precipitation, and the crucial role of water in sustaining life and shaping landscapes. It also highlights modern challenges like water scarcity, flooding, and the impact of climate change on hydrological systems.
Together, these three disciplines offer a rich and accessible guide for students, educators, and lifelong learners fascinated by the inner workings of Earth and its connection to the wider universe.

ALWAYS MOVING FORWARD - A memoir...

David A. Jones, Bob Hill

“As a creature of American fiction, the successful business executive is often not a pleasant person. Sacrificing friends, family, love, and principles in his lust for success, he is depicted as outwardly brutal, inwardly empty, having killed off even his capacity for joy. Rich, powerful, alone at the top. 
“On the other hand, there is David Jones.” —Louisville Courier-Journal columnist John Ed Pearce

A Life Everlasting - The...

Anônimo

A donor mother’s powerful memoir of grief and rebirth that is also a fascinating medical science whodunit, taking us inside the world of organ, eye, tissue, and blood donation and cutting-edge scientific research.
When Sarah Gray received the devastating news that her unborn son Thomas was diagnosed with anencephaly, a terminal condition, she decided she wanted his death—and life—to have meaning. In the weeks before she gave birth to her twin sons in 2010, she arranged to donate Thomas’s organs. Due to his low birth weight, they would go to research rather than transplant. As transplant donors have the opportunity to meet recipients, Sarah wanted to know how Thomas's donation would be used.
That curiosity fueled a scientific odyssey that leads Sarah to some of the most prestigious scientific facilities in the country, including Harvard, Duke, and the University of Pennsylvania. Pulling back the curtain of protocol and confidentiality, she introduces the researchers who received Thomas’s donations, held his liver in their hands, studied his cells under the microscope.
Sarah’s journey to find solace and understanding takes her beyond her son’s donations—offering a breathtaking overview of the world of medical research and the valiant scientists on the horizon of discovery. She goes behind the scenes at organ procurement organizations, introducing skilled technicians for whom death means saving lives, empathetic counselors, and the brilliant minds who are finding surprising and inventive ways to treat and cure disease through these donations. She also shares the moving stories of other donor families.
A Life Everlasting is an unforgettable testament to hope, a tribute to life and discovery, and a portrait of unsung heroes pushing the boundaries of medical science for the benefit of all humanity.
