An understanding of nature's final laws may be within our grasp - a way of explaining forces and symmetries and articles that does not require further explanation. 'This starting point, to which all explanations can be traced, is what I mean by a final theory', says Steven Weinberg in this extraordinary book. In it he discusses beauty, the weakness of philosophy, the best ideas in physics and the honour of accepting a world without god.

A modern classic, Einstein's Dreams is a fictional collage of stories dreamed by Albert Einstein in 1905, when he worked in a patent office in Switzerland. As the defiant but sensitive young genius is creating his theory of relativity, a new conception of time, he imagines many possible worlds. In one, time is circular, so that people are fated to repeat triumphs and failures over and over. In another, there is a place where time stands still, visited by lovers and parents clinging to their children. In another, time is a nightingale, sometimes trapped by a bell jar. Now translated into thirty languages, Einstein's Dreams has inspired playwrights, dancers, musicians, and painters all over the world. In poetic vignettes, it explores the connections between science and art, the process of creativity, and ultimately the fragility of human existence.

This book is unique in the detailed, self-contained, and comprehensive treatment that it gives to the ideas and formulas that are used and tested in modern cosmological research. It divides into two parts, each of which provides enough material for a one-semester graduate course. The first part deals chiefly with the isotropic and homogeneous average universe; the second part concentrates on the departures from the average universe. Throughout the book the author presents detailed analytic calculations of cosmological phenomena, rather than just report results obtained elsewhere by numerical computation. The book is up to date, and gives detailed accounts of topics such as recombination, microwave background polarization, leptogenesis, gravitational lensing, structure formation, and multifield inflation, that are usually treated superficially if at all in treatises on cosmology. Copious references to current research literature are supplied. Appendices include a brief introduction to general relativity, and a detailed derivation of the Boltzmann equation for photons and neutrinos used in calculations of cosmological evolution. Also provided is an assortment of problems.

"The value of these experiences in the first person, is fundamental to expand knowledge of our true nature and the essence of our Consciousness." Dr Patrizio Tressoldi, Science of Consciousness Research Group, Department of General Psychology, University of Padua, Italy "I never thought lucid dreaming could be an area of scientific interest. It's so impressive how the author has used simple similes and metaphors to facilitate understanding of complex psychodynamics." Dr. Indika Neluwa-Liyanage, Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Medical sciences, University of Sri Jayewardenepura, Sri Lanka Dream Physics is a guide book for extraordinary times. In Dream Physics, Damian Amamoo shows you how to explore your consciousness and connect with your own lucid inner truth. Dream Physics is a road of discovery that demonstrates we are all unique and have a human heritage that is able to tap into transformational opportunities and literally discover new worlds. Dream Physics begins by taking a look at problems facing modern science including difficulties accepting odd phenomena and the quest for a Grand Unified Theory of everything or GUT. In search of answers for the world beneath matter, Dream Physics tours the human brain, memory, consciousness, time and gravity offering perspectives on how we can break down the barriers to GUT success. Dream Physics prepares you for a journey of consciousness by introducing a framework for "Creative Science" to familiarize you with some of the environments that are accessible via lucid dreaming. We will cover Interpenetration The Multiverse Parallel Worlds Probable Realities The nature of time Planes of existence Subtle body vehicles of consciousness Drawing on nearly 20 years of original research, Dream Physics places you on our shoulder as we use lucid dreaming to change form, fly, analyze, wonder, shrink, expand, move things about and conduct experiments using mobile consciousness that is part of our lucid truth. Lucid skills that are available to everyone who cares to learn including scientists, quantum physicists, neuroscientists, experimental psychologists, therapists, philosophers and above all you. "We are going to give scientists new tools for thinking about matter, consciousness and physics. We are going to give you new inner tools to explore your lucid truth and draw greater pleasure from your waking and sleeping experiences." To help you get started on your own Lucid Dream adventures, Dream Physics will introduce a "Lucid Checklist" and then we will revisit the "Hard Problem of Consciousness" and preview some topics to be included in our next book Creative Science and Visualization. Dream Physics also includes a Glossary of frequently used terms for your easy reference. It's time to update your thinking with Dream Physics, your trusted guide book to discovering your lucid truth.

A comprehensive, eye-opening exploration of what dreams are, where they come from, what they mean, and why we have them. Questions on the origins and meaning of dreams are as old as humankind, and as confounding and exciting today as when nineteenth-century scientists first attempted to unravel them. Why do we dream? Do dreams hold psychological meaning or are they merely the reflection of random brain activity? What purpose do dreams serve? When Brains Dream addresses these core questions about dreams while illuminating the most up-to-date science in the field. Written by two world-renowned sleep and dream researchers, it debunks common myths that we only dream in REM sleep, for example—while acknowledging the mysteries that persist around both the science and experience of dreaming. Antonio Zadra and Robert Stickgold bring together state-of-the-art neuroscientific ideas and findings to propose a new and innovative model of dream function called NEXTUP—Network Exploration to Understand Possibilities. By detailing this model’s workings, they help readers understand key features of several types of dreams, from prophetic dreams to nightmares and lucid dreams. When Brains Dream reveals recent discoveries about the sleeping brain and the many ways in which dreams are psychologically, and neurologically, meaningful experiences; explores a host of dream-related disorders; and explains how dreams can facilitate creativity and be a source of personal insight. Making an eloquent and engaging case for why the human brain needs to dream, When Brains Dream offers compelling answers to age-old questions about the mysteries of sleep.

Does a final theory really exist? And what does it feel like to spend your life searching for it? These are some of the questions the theoretical physicist Jesper Møller Grimstrup writes about in Shell Beach. It is a book about quantum gravity, about white-water kayaking, and about a life in science. It is about conferences and smoky offices, about the quest for a final theory, and about hitchhiking illegally through Tibet. Jesper Møller Grimstrup has been an active researcher in theoretical physics for the past 20 years and in Shell Beach, he combines his research in high energy physics with his personal adventures. It is a story that involves not only the science but also Kafka's novels, sci-fi movies, and surfing giant waves off the southern shores of Iceland. Shell Beach consists of several intertwined tracks, where hardcore meets soft-core. First, there is the science, which starts with quantum mechanics and relativity and then passes through the standard model of particle physics to end up with modern topics such as noncommutative geometry and loop quantum gravity. Second, there the philosophy, the idea of a final theory, and what we might expect to find, should our search one day come to an end. And finally, there is the personal journey, that begins with a young scientist with independent ideas, who is eventually pushed into an orbit without a job and funded by crowdsourcing. In fact, Shell Beach is the outcome of a crowdfunding campaign that Jesper Møller Grimstrup ran in 2016 - it is one of the perks to his supporters. A key theme in Shell Beach is the idea, that the theory of everything could turn out to be conceptually empty and tell us little of significance. That it will not provide us with answers to our most urgent questions such as "why are we here?" This idea, which Grimstrup's own candidate for a final theory exemplifies, is illustrated through literature and film, and is followed by the question: "what will it do to us if we find that theory?" What will happen to us, seekers of truth, if we actually find what we have been searching for and it turns out to be different than what we had hoped for? Where will we go when there is nowhere else to look for answers? Shell Beach is a rare peek behind the scenes of contemporary high-energy physics and mathematics, where Jesper Møller Grimstrup has been an insider in several of the key research communities such as loop quantum gravity and noncommutative geometry. In his book, Grimstrup invites the reader into the engine room of modern theoretical physics to see how this world works, who is in power, and what the struggle among researchers for ideas and academic position feels like. Shell Beach ends with the author taking the highly unusual step of creating a crowdfunding campaign for then as the first in the world to conduct his research outside of academia financed by private sponsors. Above all Shell Beach is a book about waterfalls. According to Grimstrup, doing research in theoretical physics is like kayaking huge waterfalls in slow-motion: "Our waterfalls are the ideas we pursue and like all big waterfalls you cannot scout them thoroughly from the riverbank - the only way to find out is to enter the main current and go over the edge". THE PRESS WROTE ABOUT THE DANISH EDITION: "Jesper Møller Grimstrup has written a formidable book. I have read many books about physics and science but none that compares to his book" - Jens Ramskov, Science Editor, Ing.dk" It hits the bullseye ... I followed all the trails, fascinated and nicely included. This is not an easy book to reference ... but if you seek the big question you'll end up with even more" - Maria Helleberg, POV-international
