Sinopse

Bullet Dodging explores the surprising intersection of physics and psychology behind our ability to evade fast-moving threats. It examines how our brains and bodies work together to achieve feats of reaction, looking at both real-world scenarios and the exaggerated dodges seen in fiction. Did you know that understanding projectile motion—velocity, trajectory, and acceleration—is crucial for predicting where a threat will be? Or that cognitive biases can significantly impact your reaction time? This book uniquely bridges the gap between intuitive movement and the scientific realities governing it.

 
The book begins by laying out the fundamental physics of projectiles, including air resistance and gravity. It then delves into the psychological factors at play in threat detection, decision-making, and motor control, discussing how visual processing and cognitive biases affect our reflexes.

 
Finally, Bullet Dodging integrates these perspectives to analyze real-world cases, offering potential training methods while acknowledging the limitations of human physiology.

Zetetic Astronomy - Earth Not A...

Samuel Rowbotham

Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz. THE DEFINITIVE FLAT EARTH DOCUMENT! The unabridged and enhanced 2nd edition of Zetetic Astronomy, formulated in the 19th century by Samuel Rowbotham, presents a flat-earth cosmology grounded in direct sensory observation rather than theoretical abstraction. Rejecting Newtonian and Copernican astronomy, Rowbotham argued that the Earth is a flat, stationary plane with the Sun, Moon, and stars moving in circular paths above it, asserting that empirical evidence—such as the apparent flatness of horizons and the behavior of water surfaces—supports this model. The Zetetic method emphasizes skepticism toward authority and deductive reasoning, claiming truth arises only from firsthand, verifiable observation. This approach positioned itself as an “inquiry-based” science in opposition to what it viewed as speculative mathematics, laying the philosophical foundation for later flat-earth movements and epistemological distrust of institutionalized science.
