Editorial Reviews

Review
"...as I read, I became more than simply interested in what I saw before me - I was completely absorbed by something I've never before even considered possible." -- Matthew Mumau

"Giorbran has described it better than anyone else so far. It's excellent, and is put in a way which is closer to uniting the mystical and science, the ancient and the new." -- Emma Wilcox B.Sc. Astrophysics

"I am at present most fascinated with Giorbran's thoughts on absolutely flat and empty space. I think perhaps that is really original. I don't know if he has found a crack in which to lay a chisel to lay open reality, as for instance Einstein did thinking about light and lightspeed; but maybe, maybe..." -- John Barnes Jr. B.Sc. Applied Physics

"It is the world's foundation which is playing a game with itself which in turn is the conditional space of free play for the world. The inventory the foundation utilizes has been coined recently SOAPS [Space Of All Possible States] by Gevin Giorbran so that we could visualize the experimentum mundi (in the sense of Bloch) as an actualization of 'SOAPS bubbles'." -- Dr. Rainer Zimmermann Ph.D. Mathematics, Ph.D. Philosophy Professor, University of Kassel Germany

"The hard science of Maslow's 'self-actualization' and Csikszentmihalyi's 'peak experience,' related to the mystic's experience of universal connectedness, is beginning to see the light of day, not only in recent brain studies, but in theoretical constructs like Giorbran's symmetry order and flat space, the proposed goal of time itself. Giorbran is a must-read for empiricist and adept alike." -- Claudia Brown, M.S.Education, YSU, Lecturer, Penn State University

Product Description
Everything Forever is a highly original book about time, about the future, about the evolution of order and complexity presently taking place in the universe. In a deeply insightful poetic style Giorbran lays out the foundation of the timeless realm, extending the ideas of both David Bohm and Stephen Hawking by literally creating a visual model of the space of all possible states (soaps). The model turns into an astonishing God's eye perspective of the many-worlds predicted by quantum theory. Giorbran's version of the two kinds of order originally proposed by Bohm is brilliant cutting edge science that clearly establishes a welcome redefinition of the previously bleak second law of thermodynamics. This bold study of cosmic structure reveals that we are caught between two great powers, one in our past, the other in our future, and our complex world results as each force tries to create its own kind of order in the universe. A mental journey written for the gifted seeker as much as for the physicist.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exploring Time, February 12, 2007

By	J. S. Parker (Portland, OR USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Understanding time is key to understanding cosmology. Despite its ubiquitous presence in our daily lives, however, time is an elusive subject. Giorbran has done a marvellous job of pulling together all the various aspects and understandings of time into a readable and, more importantly, understandable framework.

His reviews of various theoreticians in the history of the subject are excellent. He has a unique ability to take complicated concepts and explain them simply, but comprehensively. It is the best summary of Boltzmann's work leading to the second law of thermodynamics that I have found. The relativistic concepts of Einstein and even Stephen Hawking's "imaginary time" are explained in a surprisingly graspable manner.

However, it is not simply another summary of past and current thought. He develops his own ideas on the nature of order (what he calls "grouping" and "symmetry" orders) that provides the basis for his conclusions on the nature of time as we experience it and timelessness as can be experienced--the subtitle of the book is "Learning to See Timelessness". And it is in these concepts of order and timelessness that he lays his foundation for re-establishing meaning and purpose in the evolution of the universe.

The book is solidly based in current scientific understanding of cosmology. But he integrates these understandings in a new and exciting framework. Whether one agrees with his ideas or not, the book will open many avenues for thought and exploration. The quotations and references that are interspersed throughout the chapters provide additional viewpoints as well as providing an attractive format. There are multiple illustrations, pictures and charts which enhance and clarify the text.

The book is clearly the result of a long and thoughtful exploration by the author. It is one that will enrich any reader.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Universe is NOT winding down., October 4, 2007

By	Jerry - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

"Everything Forever" articulates Einstein better than I have ever read before. I had to read page 25 to my electrical engineering students. Gevin Giobran uses concepts of other great physicist and folds them into his own concepts of time and the Universe. Reading is laborious at times but the book demonstrates that in order to explain "what is" one must consider all possibilities of what could have been but is not. This then places a boundary, or shape on our thoughts.

5.0 out of 5 stars GENIUS, April 28, 2007

By	Dr. Lee Price "Dr. Lee Price" (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews

Giorbran's latest book is pure genius. Well thought out, rewarding and thought provoking. He takes the concepts of time, anti-time and timelessness and makes them easy to grasp. I particularly enjoyed the section on how the future helps arrange the present. I wish I could be around in a 100 years to see how current theories were altered by his contributions. You will read this book more than once.
