SciTech summer reading list

WHAT is the purpose of space science labs link to the SPACE
STATION if the far superior use of space data and equations
is outside of NASA. THE mass supremacy of the numeral and
zero system 3557 to over 7000 times the level of Centillions
is the new era of space data on all areas of space, yet mass
media, Congress, U.S. Senate. NASA and major science organi-
-zations ignore this topic.

Jerry, put down the crack pipe and step away from the computer.

I have a few addition suggestions:
"The Demon in the Freezer"- another good read by Preston.
"Rosalind Franklin: the Dark Lady of DNA" by Maddox. This book gave me a new insight on a little- known Rosalind Franklin.
"A Short History of Nearly Everything" by Bill Bryson. A great book on science for those who aren't inclined to read about science.

Feynman: "string theorists don't make predictions, they make excuses"
Read up on Moving Dimensions Theory (MDT) instead.

Chaos theory is constrained by energy and friction. A butterfly could conceivably trigger a hurricane, but it would have to act as a switch. Turning on a switch can open the floodgates on a hydro dam. CO2 from a smoking a cigarette could butterfry us to Venus temperatures ? Google Ferenc Miskolczi to find out.

jerry a. Myers is not the only one suspicious of NASA.
"NASA Dr. Roy Spencer was silenced by Clinton & GORE for his AGW skeptism"

Godel, Escher, Bach is indeed a wonderful book, both interesting and very original in its juxtaposition of these three imaginative thinkers.

Another good science book I have read is Time Travel in Einstein's Universe, by J. Richard Gott. This book explains, to both the layperson and the specialist, the scientific possibilities of time travel using cosmic strings, based on mathematical solutions to Albert Einstein's equations. Gott also describes a new theory for the beginning of the universe. There is also a discussion of humankind's fascination with time travel, as evidenced by works of literature and film.

Those interested in energy issues might wish to check out "Rad Decision: A Novel of Nuclear Power" by a longtime nuclear industry insider. It is free online at http://RadDecision.blogspot.com and can also be downloaded. The author receives no income from this or the print version. The book was endorsed by Stewart Brand, National Book Award winner and founder of The Whole Earth Catalog.

An old classic which is still one of the best science reads is "Cosmos" by Carl Sagan. Nobody explained it better then Dr Sagan. And the DVD set of COSMOS is fantastic too..

Pale Blue Dot by Carl Sagan, a classic.

There is a new book coming out next month titled "Purusha's Urn". It's not hard science fiction, but it incorporates many theories about time and space in a very bizarre but interesting way. What's most bizarre is the basic concept of the story, which deals with miniature universes. Watch for it...

"Less than 20% of the US population is even scientifically educated enough to be considered scientifically literate."

Just look at the policies of the Presidential Candidates: The world is cooling, but the ManPigBear has convinced leading USA public figures of the need for a Carbon tax.

" Do whatever you can to educate yourself"

The Special Theory of Relativity: A Critical Analysis by Louis Essen
"All theories are wrong, but some are useful."
Moving Dimensions Theory " MDT is the best-tested theory of all time"

Rudi,
Could you try to be more wrong next time? Light from a trillinion miles away can still be seen by us if it was initially bright enough. All we need is to be looking at that point when the light gets to us at 300Km/s. You can see a long ways away – how close do you think quasars are?? What about our own sun – you do see it up in the sky, right? It's around 48 million miles away. Leave the science to scientists, go back to watching quantum leap.

Egg on my face – mental math was off – the sun is 149,600,000km away, which is 93,000,000 miles. Even farther from your scientific 186,000 milke, Rudi 🙂

Here's a link that could be of use: http://www.scibooks.org/ Enjoy! Granted, most of them aren't new, but at least with a review, you get an idea of what you are getting into.

This list is pretty much a waste since many of these books are older and I have read most of them already. I was expecting a more recent list of books.

In reply to the post by Rudi:

The idea that you could only see for 186,000 miles is not particularly accurate. Just because this is the distance light travels in a second does not mean that this is any kind of absolute barrier. Why not 1 mile? That's the distance light travels in 1/186,000th of a second. In fact, one might argue that everything we are able to see exists only in the past, so in the present we are not able to see at ALL. That's not the way physics works. The time interval of 1 second is arbitrarily determined by mankind, and the passage of time is not even absolute.

Dear TommyO,

You have a little lake of knowladge...in REAL TIME you do not see anything from a distance of more then the speed of light...anything that you see from a farther distance is in a delay time and not in real time......you can not see faster then the speed of light (186,000 mile)andthing that you see "farther" is not in real time and you see it as a reflaction on the platform that is on a distence of 186,000 sorry it is not posible to see farther...please put you arrogance aside and see the true.....see Darren comment...he at list know a little science basic without being arrogant, Atacking the true without knowning the true will not change the true.
