  The cosmic frontier has long captivated human imagination as it holds the mysteries of the universe in its vast expanses. From the earliest observations of the night sky, humanity has been drawn to the unknown depths beyond our planet, seeking to unravel the secrets of dark matter and the intricate evolution of galaxies. In this chapter, we explore the beginnings of our cosmic journey and the fundamental forces that shape the universe, setting the stage for a deeper understanding of the interplay between dark matter and galactic evolution. 
  The universe, in its infancy, was a turbulent and dynamic environment where matter and energy coalesced into the structures we observe today. In the early moments following the Big Bang, subtle fluctuations in density laid the groundwork for the formation of dark matter haloes, which in turn influenced the emergence of galaxies. These initial irregularities acted as seeds that grew over time through gravitational attraction, gradually giving rise to the complex web of cosmic structures that now stretches across the observable universe. 
  As we peer into the cosmic frontier, the concept of dark matter becomes central to our understanding of the universe’s architecture. Dark matter, an invisible substance that does not interact with light in the conventional manner, exerts gravitational forces that shape the evolution of galaxies. Although its exact composition remains elusive, its effects are evident in the rotational speeds of galaxies and the clustering of matter on cosmic scales. The study of these phenomena provides critical clues about the underlying nature of dark matter and the processes that govern the birth and evolution of galactic systems.

  New York's Secret Subway - The...

  In the nineteenth century, Manhattan's streets were so choked with pedestrians, horses, vehicles, and vendors that a trip from City Hall to Central Park could take hours. Alfred Beach had the perfect solution: build a giant pneumatic tube underneath Broadway from the Battery to Harlem. Air pressure would shoot passengers up and down the island in clean, quiet carriages. But Beach was up against the operators of the horse-drawn streetcars and the politicians in their pay, most conspicuously William M. Tweed, the notorious "Boss" of Tammany Hall.New York's Secret Subway: The Underground Genius of Alfred Beach and the Origins of Mass Transit tells a classic story of good versus evil, pitting the mild-mannered Beach, a visionary inventor and entrepreneur, against the oafish tyrant Tweed, the exemplar of corruption in the Gilded Age. It also tells the story of one of the most astonishing feats of engineering in American history, the surreptitious creation of the nation's first operational subway. Unfortunately, political lethargy and greed would conspire to deny the city a subway for another thirty years. Yet Alfred Beach still proved conclusively the feasibility of underground railways in Manhattan, and paved the way for modern mass transportation systems. Although this true story took place more than a century ago, it will at times sound surprisingly familiar.

  The modern world has the ancient Romans to thank for the origins of many modern technologies, conveniences, and ideas, from running water, baths, and republican style government to roads. Similarly, by the 3rd century BCE, the Romans were prodigious monument builders, so much so that the memory of the great Roman Republic and the Roman Empire continues to exist within a cityscape of stone. Rome’s public spaces were filled with statues, arches, temples, and many other varieties of monumental images, and each of these structures had its own civic or religious function. At the same time, most were embedded with stories, messages, and symbolism so that they also tended to function as propaganda. These monuments allowed the leading citizens of Rome, especially its emperors, to sculpt their own self-image and embed themselves and their most memorable deeds into the very structure of the Roman city.  
  	While some of the most famous examples, like the Colosseum and Pantheon, remain striking testaments to Roman engineering and technology, many of the scientific advances the Romans ushered into the world were smaller in scope but not necessarily any less important. Indeed, the Roman Empire was not just one of the most technologically advanced civilizations within the ancient world but also proportionately one of the most prolific throughout all history. A substantial number of these innovations were lost following the eventual fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 and the subsequent centuries of decline of the Byzantine Empire starting in the early 7th century, but rediscoveries of their advancements began during the later Middle Ages and the beginning of the Modern Era (c. 1400s). Some of their ideas and designs are only now being improved upon thanks to newer, far more advanced modern technologies.

  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.
