Gravitation and Cosmology: From the Hubble Radius to the Planck Scale (Fundamental Theories of Physics) [Hardcover]

Book Description

ISBN-10: 1402008856 | ISBN-13: 978-1402008856 | Publication Date: October 31, 2002 | Edition: 1

The volume has a unique perspective in that the chapters, the majority by world-class physicists and astrophysicists, contrast both mainstream conservative approaches and leading edge extended models of fundamental issues in physical theory and observation. For example in the first of the five parts: Astrophysics & Cosmology, papers review Bigbang Cosmology along with articles calling for exploration of alternatives to a Bigbang universe in lieu of recent theoretical and observational developments. This unique perspective continues through the remaining sections on extended EM theory, gravitation, quantum theory, and vacuum dynamics and space-time; making the book a primary source for graduate level and professional academics.

More About the Author

Richard L. Amoroso born in Medford, Massachusetts of goodly parents, is the author of what will soon be 40 volumes and 200 scientific papers and book chapters in 5 languages on topics ranging from Astrophysics & Cosmology to Consciousness Studies & Philosophy of Mind to Quantum Computing and Medicine. In June 2010 Amoroso received the prestigious Telesio-Galilei Gold Medal at Pecs' University near Budapest, Hungary. Amoroso is Director of the Noetic Advanced Studies Institute: www.noeticadvancedstudies.us and founding editor of the Noetic Journal, a peer reviewed academic journal which specializes in the cosmology of mind and related fields. He is best known for the 1st comprehensive dualist-interactions model of awareness that for the 1st time in history has allowed a physically real and empirically testable model of qualia. He holds several patents. Of significance is the patent for quantum computing for which Amoroso intends to construct a special class of conscious quantum computer; not that the QC is conscious but that it is modeled by the theory that the mind-body interaction is a form of conscious quantum computer. This will lead to a new class of 'spirit -based' medical technologies. Amoroso's Noetic Theory postulates that the ~ 400 autoimune etiologies have a spiritual component. It is the ultimate goal of Amoroso's life work to treat these medical conditions with new technologies.
