    In the vast expanse of the cosmos, there exists an enigmatic substance that eludes detection yet exerts a profound influence on the universe's structure and evolution. This substance, known as dark matter, remains one of the greatest mysteries of modern astrophysics, captivating the imaginations of scientists and enthusiasts alike. 
  
Dark matter's existence is inferred from its gravitational effects on visible matter and light, yet its nature remains elusive. Despite decades of research and numerous experimental endeavors, the true identity of dark matter continues to evade detection, challenging our understanding of the fundamental constituents of the universe. 
  
In parallel, another frontier of scientific exploration has emerged within the intricate ecosystems of the human body: the microbiome. Comprising trillions of microorganisms inhabiting every surface of our bodies, the microbiome plays a crucial role in human health and disease. Yet, like dark matter, much of the microbiome's complexity remains shrouded in mystery, awaiting further exploration and understanding.

    After a lifetime of overachieving, aiming to be excellent at everything, and three failed tech startups in Silicon Valley, Kelly Trach was stirred by a simple question: What if I just did what I'm good at? 
 
 
 
Now a six-figure business coach, Kelly poses the same question to you: What if you just did what you're good at? Despite conventional wisdom, the gifts and experience you need are already innate. Having that "it factor" or "special ingredient" isn't as elusive as you may think. 
 
  
 
P.S. You're a Genius takes you on a self-reflective journey to find your own gifts, asking questions like: How are your idols a reflection of your own genius? What are you great at that nobody taught you how to do? How is your darkest shadow your greatest gift? What have you been unexpectedly criticized for? 
 
 
 
Through these questions and more, you'll uncover the ways you naturally excel, relinquish the lie that you're not "good enough," and discover how to convincingly convey your value to anyone. In the process, you'll unlock the gumption to go after what you really want and ditch the mindset blocks holding you back—because you have an inherent genius. You just have to find it.

    What If Time Is Not What We Think? 
What if everything you have been taught about time is wrong? What if time does not move in one steady line, the same for everyone, but instead bends, shifts, or even disappears depending on where you are in the universe? Quantum Time takes you on a fascinating journey into the strange world of quantum physics to explore one of the greatest mysteries of existence: time itself. 
Time in Daily Life vs. the Quantum World 
In everyday life, time feels simple. Seconds tick forward. Clocks keep us on schedule. We grow older. But in the quantum world, none of this is guaranteed. At the smallest scale of reality, time may not even exist the way we think it does. Instead, it may be something that only appears when particles interact, a fragile construct that changes depending on the universe or multiverse you are in. 
A Radical New View of Time 
This audiobook challenges the traditional idea that time is an absolute force. Instead, it presents a bold new view. Time may be local, appearing only through the behavior and arrangement of particles. That means different regions of the cosmos or even parallel universes could each experience time in completely different ways. In some cases, time may even loop, pause, or move backward. 
Where Physics Meets Consciousness 
From black holes to quantum entanglement, Quantum Time explores how the deepest mysteries of physics connect with human consciousness and reality. It asks whether the mind itself may play a role in shaping how we experience past, present, and future. 
An Invitation to Rethink Reality 
If you are fascinated by science, philosophy, or metaphysics, Quantum Time offers a thought-provoking journey that will forever change the way you see the ticking clock.
