Two world-renowned scientists present an audacious new vision of the cosmos that “steals the thunder from the Big Bang theory.” —Wall Street Journal The Big Bang theory—widely regarded as the leading explanation for the origin of the universe—posits that space and time sprang into being about 14 billion years ago in a hot, expanding fireball of nearly infinite density. Over the last three decades the theory has been repeatedly revised to address such issues as how galaxies and stars first formed and why the expansion of the universe is speeding up today. Furthermore, an explanation has yet to be found for what caused the Big Bang in the first place. In Endless Universe, Paul J. Steinhardt and Neil Turok, both distinguished theoretical physicists, present a bold new cosmology. Steinhardt and Turok “contend that what we think of as the moment of creation was simply part of an infinite cycle of titanic collisions between our universe and a parallel world” (Discover). They recount the remarkable developments in astronomy, particle physics, and superstring theory that form the basis for their groundbreaking “Cyclic Universe” theory. According to this theory, the Big Bang was not the beginning of time but the bridge to a past filled with endlessly repeating cycles of evolution, each accompanied by the creation of new matter and the formation of new galaxies, stars, and planets. Endless Universe provides answers to longstanding problems with the Big Bang model, while offering a provocative new view of both the past and the future of the cosmos. It is a “theory that could solve the cosmic mystery” (USA Today).

According to the Big Bang model, space and time sprang into being 15 billion years ago, in a hot expanding fireball of near-infinite density. As space expanded the fireball cooled and matter condensed to form the galaxies, stars and planets we see today. But this picture is incomplete. Why is the distribution of matter and radiation in the Universe so uniform? Why is space flat rather than curved, as Einstein's theory of general relativity suggests? Where did the seeds for forming galaxies arise from? And why is the expansion rate of the universe speeding up? To answer these questions, Steinhardt and Turok have proposed an alternative cosmology that turns cosmic history on its head and suggests that our universe is without beginning or end, eternally following a cycle of expansion and contraction mediated by the clashing of 'branes' or parallel universes.ENDLESS UNIVERSE chronicles the last thirty years of cosmology, the growing disatisfaction with the big bang model, the surprising discovery of dark energy and cosmic expansion, the development of M-Theory and the evolution of the new cyclical model. Finally, the authors ask how long we have until the next big crunch and explore if life can survive the collision of branes.

Open Theology offers an advantageous framework for engaging the sciences. With its emphasis upon creaturely freedom, relationality, realist epistemology, and love, Open Theology makes a fruitful dialogue partner with leading fields and theories in contemporary science. In Creation Made Free, leading proponents of open theism explore natural and social scientific dimensions of reality as these dimensions both inform and are informed by Open Theology. Important themes addressed include evolution, creation ex nihilo, emergence theory, biblical cosmology, cognitive linguistics, quantum theory, and forgiveness.

A talented pianist and composer in his own right, Sun Ra (1914 - 1993) founded and conducted one of jazz's last great big bands from the 1950s until he left planet Earth. Few only know that he also was a gifted thinker and poet. Sun Ra's poetry leaves everything behind what's called contemporary, and flings out pictures of infinity into the outer space. These poems are for tomorrow. This is the only edition of Sun Ra's complete poetry and prose in one volume. The Contributors James L.

Considered by many to be a founder of Afrofuturism, Sun Ra—aka Herman Blount—was a composer, keyboardist, bandleader, philosopher, entrepreneur, poet, and self-proclaimed extraterrestrial from Saturn. He recorded over 200 albums with his Arkestra, which, dressed in Egypto-space costumes, played everything from boogie-woogie and swing to fusion and free jazz. John Szwed's Space is the Place is the definitive biography of this musical polymath, who was one of the twentieth century's greatest avant-garde artists and intellectuals. Charting the whole of Sun Ra's life and career, Szwed outlines how after years in Chicago as a blues and swing band pianist, Sun Ra set out in the 1950s to impart his views about the galaxy, black people, and spiritual matters by performing music with the Arkestra that was as vital and innovative as it was mercurial and confounding. Szwed's readers—whether they are just discovering Sun Ra or are among the legion of poets, artists, intellectuals, and musicians who consider him a spiritual godfather—will find that, indeed, space is the place.

The Return is about a young boy growing up in the Wyoming high desert. The book leads the reader through his perilous journey through time and the eventual destruction of the Earth. Beginning in the early 1950s, Noah lives with his parents in a small town of one hundred souls. He is mesmerized by the flat horizon and the beautiful sky with its amazing clouds, both seeming to go on forever. But it is the crystal clear night sky and the trillions of stars that motivate his dreams and desire to study astronomy. Noah loves to walk across the desert. He fantasizes about space travel, wondering if he will ever experience it. He has a favorite secret place a mile from his home. As he grows through his teens, Noah discovers a cave. When he builds up the courage to explore it, he finds a spaceship that, as it turns out, was meant to be found. It is here that he meets Agena who escaped Earth before the great flood, over ten thousand years ago, and relocated to Alpha Centauri with the rest of the human race. Noah and other pilots of the “Dark Ships” have a mission. Earth will again be destroyed, not by natural disasters but by human greed and lust for power. As the Earth confronts its destruction, the Dark Ships evacuate the worthy humans with the same psychological make-up: empathy. Mars and Titan have been terraformed to accept the survivors until they can safely return.

This interdisciplinary study of infinity explores the concept through the prism of mathematics and then offers more expansive investigations in areas beyond mathematical boundaries to reflect the broader, deeper implications of infinity for human intellectual thought. More than a dozen world-renowned researchers in the fields of mathematics, physics, cosmology, philosophy and theology offer a rich intellectual exchange among various current viewpoints, rather than displaying a static picture of accepted views on infinity. The book starts with a historical examination of the transformation of infinity from a philosophical and theological study to one dominated by mathematics. It then offers technical discussions on the understanding of mathematical infinity. Following this, the book considers the perspectives of physics and cosmology: can infinity be found in the real universe? Finally, the book returns to questions of philosophical and theological aspects of infinity.

Whether you are a strict traditionalist or a scriptural freethinker, Musings of a Persecuted Soul will challenge your established beliefs and breathe new spiritual life into your soul.

A feminist comparison of D.H. Lawrence (1885-1930) and James Joyce (1882-1941), providing new readings of a number of their most important works, including Lawrence's Man Who Died and Joyce's Finnegans Wake. Reexamining Lawrence and Joyce from the point of view of feminist psychoanalysis, Lewiecki-Wilson challenges the notion that the two novelists reside in opposing modernist camps, contending that in fact they exist along a continuum, with both engaged in a reimagination of gender relations.
