An epic, full-color visual journey through all scales of the universe In The Zoomable Universe, the award-winning astrobiologist Caleb Scharf and the acclaimed artist Ron Miller take us on an epic tour through all known scales of reality, from the largest possible magnitude to the smallest. Drawing on cutting-edge science, they begin at the limits of the observable universe, a scale spanning 10^27 meters—about 93 billion light-years. And they end in the subatomic realm, at 10^-35 meters, where the fabric of space-time itself confounds all known rules of physics. In between are galaxies, stars and planets, oceans and continents, plants and animals, microorganisms, atoms, and much, much more. Stops along the way—all enlivened by Scharf’s sparkling prose and his original insights into the nature of our universe—include the brilliant core of the Milky Way, the surface of a rogue planet, the back of an elephant, and a sea of jostling quarks. The Zoomable Universe is packed with more than 100 original illustrations and infographics that will captivate readers of every age. It is a whimsical celebration of discovery, a testament to our astounding ability to see beyond our own vantage point and chart a course from the farthest reaches of the cosmos to its subatomic depths—in short, a must-have for the shelves of all explorers.

“Child of the Universe'' tells the apocalyptic tale of Atlantis and Lymuria, two ancient civilizations erased from the memory of mankind. Derived from a past life regression hypnosis experience, JLF Sullivan's remarkable debut novel takes you on a mesmerizing journey through the tumultuous life of Kala, Queen of a matriarchal empire destroyed by a cataclysmic wave. Captured during the chaos of her people's downfall, Kala is subjected to decades of mysterious experiments on the fabled island of Atlantis, as they seek to unlock her inherited otherworldly powers. “Child of the Universe” unfolds an alternative history of our humble beginnings on this planet and departs as a warning of the apocalyptic parallels surrounding us as we embark into an apprehensive future: “Perhaps it was best that this story remained locked away within me since the great cataclysms. But now my story can no longer stay buried, it must rest once and for all. It is my hope that by sharing this with you, my story will free us from this cycle of destruction we have become entangled in...Maybe you too have dreamt of the great wave of Amun, its towering greatness only to become your watery tomb. Or perhaps the mysteries surrounding the destruction of Atlantis have pulled your attention time and time again. It is my greatest wish that we may come to remember and understand our lost history so we may break free from the amnesia surrounding our humble beginnings. There is something you cannot deny, something that you have felt for all your days that tells you that you are connected to something greater. The lives we live now and those of the long-forgotten past will begin to show their true relationship as we together journey back to the lands of Amun and Atlantis.” If you've ever contemplated alternative theories surrounding Earth's origins or are intrigued by concepts such as Ancient Alien theory, Past Life Regression, Quantum Healing, and Higher Consciousness, this book offers a fresh perspective. It delves into the profound connections between past lives and their purpose in our current existence, as well as the illnesses we incur as a result of these past experiences and their traumatic legacy. Explore the legends of the animal people of Atlantis, the enigma of stone circles, and the awe-inspiring powers of the ancient Red Crystals. "Child of the Universe" is your gateway to a world of discovery and transformation, inviting you to remember and understand our lost history, break free from the amnesia surrounding our origins, and embrace your undeniable connection to something greater. This compelling narrative also serves as a companion to the books "A Hypnotist's Journey To Atlantis”and “A Hypntist’s Journey To The Secrets Of The Sphinx” by Sarah Breskman Cosme. Open your mind to a universe of possibilities and knowledge, and let the exploration of ancient civilizations and cosmic mysteries guide you on a captivating voyage.

Though the concept of "the universe" suggests the containment of everything, the latest ideas in cosmology hint that our universe may be just one of a multitude of others-a single slice of an infinity of parallel realities. In The Copernicus Complex, the renowned astrophysicist and author Caleb Scharf takes us on a cosmic adventure like no other, from tiny microbes within the Earth to distant exoplanets and beyond, asserting that the age-old Copernican principle is in need of updating. As Scharf argues, when Copernicus proposed that the Earth was not the fixed point at the center of the known universe (and therefore we are not unique), he set in motion a colossal scientific juggernaut, forever changing our vision of nature. But the principle has never been entirely true-we do live at a particular time, in a particular location, under particular circumstances. To solve this conundrum we must put aside our Copernican worldview and embrace the possibility that we are in a delicate balance between mediocrity and significance, order and chaos. Weaving together cutting-edge science and classic storytelling, historical accounts and speculations on what the future holds, The Copernicus Complex presents a compelling argument for what our true cosmic status is, and proposes a way forward for the ultimate quest: to determine life's abundance not just across this universe but across all realities.
