The Alien Perspective - A New View of Humanity and the Cosmos

David Whitehouse

Casa editrice: Icon Books

Sinossi

Astronomer and science writer David Whitehouse takes us on a journey through the evolving cosmos as he considers humankind's place in the universe - and how our survival depends on otherworldly perspectives.

From the Earth to the depths of outer space, this inspiring book shows how human evolution has been intertwined with the workings of the cosmos from the very beginning, and what the far-distant future may hold, both for the universe and for ourselves.

Given enough time, Whitehouse contends, we must communicate with intelligent aliens whose divergent perspective will transform our understanding of the universe. First contact may even come sooner than we think. We have already transmitted signals towards promising exoplanets. If, say, Gliese 581d harbours life, the return signal could reach us in 2051.

Drawing the thread of human consciousness from the cave to the cosmos, the acclaimed author of Apollo 11: The Inside Story charts our future journey to the end of space and time and considers whether something of humanity could remain at the end of it all.

Time Bomb - Get The SWAT Team!

Michael Mathiesen

There is a huge bomb that is ticking down to the moment when it must go off and it’s right underneath your feet.  This almost unseen Time Bomb is so massive that it will kill every man woman, child, dog, cat, birds, insects, donkeys, horses, all the fish in the sea, the whales, the dolphins, plankton, trees, plants, flowers and every other thing that lives here on this planet.  UNLESS WE TAKE THE "TIME' away from the BOMB.In this book, you will find the KEY to understanding TIME and how it flies around the universe in WAVES.  Controlling the TIME WAVES is the ONLY ANSWER.  But there’s nowhere to run.  We have to all take a stand by joining what I call the final SWAT Team.  (Save our World Again Today)  If you choose not to saddle up and fight the good fight - it’s curtains for the human race. In my new book, readers will learn about how Time Flies about the universe in waves, how the waves are created by the smallest particles in the subatomic world - Chronons and how they are all connected to one another and to every particle that makes you and your life exist.This is revolutionary new science based on events in my life and probably in yours that have interacted with mine in subtle ways such as the fact that you are now reading my text out of the billions upon billions of other texts on the Internet today.  It's no accident, let me assure you.  However, if you do not get a copy of this book in your hands within the next few minutes, time could be up for the human race, because this is the last segment of time where we have a chance to alter the future.It’s ironic also that Einstein’s famous equation of - E-mc2 was the key to the production of the most destructive forces humans have ever unleashed, the nuclear weapons that today threaten the greatest mass extinction in history,  but in this work, we uncover a different equation that can and will produce the opposite effects of the most creative and life-saving of forces ever known.
