For science to be what it should be, it should be allowed to survive in its own right, untrammeled by ancient dogma. This idea is applied to theories of time and the universe and the toxic idea that there is no free will. We deal particularly with the so-called ’specious present’ which is not specious at all as anyone who cares to, can easily discover. This monograph uses modern physics, observational and psychological techniques, virtual reality, and science studies to examine the borderline problems of time and space. We have broken through the psychological barrier of ancient dogma, and we actually catalogue and describe experiences obtained whilst travelling through time.

  • General Relativity
    Trevor Underwood
    This volume provides annotated translations of the primary sources leading up to Einstein’s theory of general relativity, in which Einstein attempted to extend his theory of special relativity beyond space and time, to include matter and gravitational fields, by introducing gravity through his 'equivalence principle' - the equivalence of gravity and acceleration. This resulted ...
  • The Meaning of Relativity
    Albert Einstein
    In 1921, five years after the appearance of his comprehensive paper on general relativity and twelve years before he left Europe permanently to join the Institute for Advanced Study, Albert Einstein visited Princeton University, where he delivered the Stafford Little Lectures for that year. These four lectures constituted an overview of his then-controversial theory of relativi...

  • Global Nonlinear Stability of Schwarzschild Spacetime under Polarized Perturbations
    Jérémie Szeftel / Sergiu Klainerman
    Essential mathematical insights into one of the most important and challenging open problems in general relativity-the stability of black holesOne of the major outstanding questions about black holes is whether they remain stable when subject to small perturbations. An affirmative answer to this question would provide strong theoretical support for the physical reality of black...

  • The Wave Basis of Special Relativity
    Robert Close
    This book offers a simple, intuitive explanation of special relativity. Rather than merely describing the implications of Einstein’s postulates, we derive the consequences of special relativity from the wavelike behavior of matter, which is consistent with ordinary physical processes in Galilean spacetime. Topics covered include time dilation, length contraction, Lorentz transf...
