13: Unicellular organism: Discover the various ways unicellular organisms use motility to adapt to their environment.

14: Phototaxis: Investigate how protists use light as a stimulus to guide their movement in phototaxis.

15: Intraflagellar transport: Explore the mechanisms of intraflagellar transport, essential for maintaining flagellar function.

16: Prachee Avasthi: Learn about the contributions of Prachee Avasthi to the study of protist locomotion and motility.

17: Guillardia: Delve into the unique locomotion strategies of Guillardia and how it adapts to its aquatic environment.

18: Eyespot apparatus: Examine the eyespot apparatus and its crucial role in guiding protists toward light sources for phototaxis.

19: Evolution of flagella: Explore how flagella have evolved across different species, shaping their locomotion abilities.

20: Marine protists: Study the specific adaptations of marine protists, including their motility mechanisms, for survival in aquatic environments.

21: Runandtumble motion: Discover how the runandtumble movement aids bacteria and protists in navigating their environments.

This book offers more than just technical knowledge; it equips the reader with essential tools to understand the complexity of biological movement. If you're passionate about the fascinating world of protists and their intricate systems of locomotion, this book is an invaluable resource that will expand your understanding and contribute to future research.

Perpendicular Times - A New Reality

Michael Mathiesen

In previous books, I have put forth a new theory of time - in that time flows about the universe in waves. This has not been proven yet, but I'm confident it will be some day since everything else in the universe flows or comes out of wave energy - the odds are very good that time does as well. 
Since announcing this theory a couple years ago in a book called 'Time Waves', I also saw that time not only flows about the universe in waves, but that these waves flow at right angles or in a perpendiular orientation to all other waves because they, time waves, carry the elements of time that all other waves require to be a wave. The two fields interact in perpendicular fashion to create what Einstein calls Space/Time, but now it comes along with a completely new and more complete definition. 
But, it's also part of my theory that artificial intelligence is here at this time to play an important role so I asked Orac, my long-time AI assistant to confirm that my theory is accurate and he does in great detail. It's an historic moment for all and holds significant impacts on all our lives.
