  The Substrate Theory of...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. The Substrate Theory of Everything: One field. One picture. All of physics. 
   
  For a hundred years, physics has been a tale of two views that refuse to speak to each other. Quantum mechanics describes the small — atoms, particles, the strange world of probability and superposition. General relativity describes the large — planets, stars, galaxies, the smooth curved geometry of spacetime itself. Each is one of the greatest intellectual achievements in human history. Each has been tested to extraordinary precision. And yet, these two views don't get along. 
   
  Their disagreement has haunted physicists for generations. Why does matter have mass? Why is there something rather than nothing? What is dark matter? What is dark energy? Why is the energy of empty space 122 orders of magnitude smaller than physics says it should be — the largest disagreement between theory and observation in the history of science? Why does quantum mechanics give us probabilities? Why three generations of particles, with masses that span thirteen orders of magnitude in a pattern no one has explained? Why is gravity weaker than electromagnetism by a factor of ten-to-the-forty? What came before the Big Bang? What will come at the end of time? 
   
  This book proposes a single answer to all of these questions. Beneath the world we see — beneath the particles, beneath the forces, beneath spacetime itself — there is one underlying field. One thing. The substrate. Everything else is a pattern in it. Mass is a localized knot in the substrate. Charge is a twist in its phase. Gravity is its response to being deformed by mass. Forces are the patterns of how the substrate interacts with itself. Even time is not what we think it is: time is not a smooth continuous flow but a discrete pulse of the substrate, ticking ten-to-the-forty-four times every second, the steady heartbeat of reality itself. From this one idea, with eight supporting principles, the entire edifice of physics rebuilds itself.

  Elusive Cures - Why Neuroscience...

  Brain research has been accelerating rapidly in recent decades, but the translation of our many discoveries into treatments and cures for brain disorders has not happened as many expected. We do not have cures for the vast majority of brain illnesses, and many medications we have to treat the brain are derived from drugs produced in the 1950s—before we knew much about the brain at all. Tackling brain disorders is one of the biggest challenges facing humanity today. What will it take to overcome it? Nicole Rust takes listeners along on her journey to answer this question. 
   
   
   
  Drawing on decades of experience, Rust reflects on how far we have come in our quest to unlock the secrets of the brain and what remains to be discovered. She shows us that treating a brain disorder is more like redirecting a hurricane than fixing a domino chain of cause and effect, arguing that only once we embrace the idea of the brain as a complex system do we have any hope of finding cures. Rust profiles the pioneering ideas about the brain that are driving research at the cutting edge to illuminate exactly how much we know about disorders—and what it will take to eradicate these scourges. 
   
   
   
  Elusive Cures sheds light on one of the most daunting challenges confronted by science while offering hope for revolutionary new treatments and cures for the brain.

  Second Lives - The Journey of...

  One man’s journey from doctor to patient to healer. Second Lives is a first-hand account of neurologist Ralph Lilly’s recovery from a traumatic brain injury and how the lessons of his recovery enabled him to help others with their own recoveries.  
  “Discharged from a hospital just means you’re not dead.” These words of Ralph B. Lilly, M.D., describe his early struggle to recover from a traumatic brain injury. Lilly was a forty-four-year-old practicing neurologist sitting on his motorcycle at a red light when a drunk driver rear-ended him in 1980. In the ICU, after regaining consciousness and being told what happened, he asked, “What’s a hospital? What’s a motorcycle?” This tragic experience transformed his life and his approach to his neurology practice: doctors treat those with brain injury; but loved ones heal them. 
  Second Lives: The Journey of Brain Injury Survivors and Their Healers is written by Dr. Lilly and Diane F. Kramer. After his death in 2021, Kramer completed the book with the assistance of Lilly’s wife, Joyce Stamp Lilly. This memoir weaves together Ralph Lilly’s experience with a collage of stories about his patients and their healers. After his recovery, Lilly retrained in the emerging field of behavioral neurology, which focuses on behavior, memory, cognition, and emotion after brain injury.

  “I felt honoured to be involved in the production/proof reading of Simon’s 4th book, Parkinson’s - Take a Walk With Me. The book is written with humour on a subject which could very easily be melancholy, and whilst not avoiding the truth about this degenerative neurological condition, Simon takes you on a journey with earnest compassion. A great read for everyone, especially for anyone remotely connected to Parkinson’s Disease, this is an uplifting, supportive and reaffirming read; life is still to be enjoyed no matter what the adversity.” - Sharon Timms
