Since Einstein first described them nearly a century ago, gravitational waves have been the subject of more sustained controversy than perhaps any other phenomenon in physics. These as yet undetected fluctuations in the shape of space-time were first predicted by Einstein's general theory of relativity, but only now, at the dawn of the twenty-first century, are we on the brink of finally observing them. Daniel Kennefick's landmark book takes readers through the theoretical controversies and thorny debates that raged around the subject of gravitational waves after the publication of Einstein's theory. The previously untold story of how we arrived at a settled theory of gravitational waves includes a stellar cast from the front ranks of twentieth-century physics, including Richard Feynman, Hermann Bondi, John Wheeler, Kip Thorne, and Einstein himself, who on two occasions avowed that gravitational waves do not exist, changing his mind both times. The book derives its title from a famously skeptical comment made by Arthur Stanley Eddington in 1922--namely, that "gravitational waves propagate at the speed of thought." Kennefick uses the title metaphorically to contrast the individual brilliance of each of the physicists grappling with gravitational-wave theory against the frustratingly slow progression of the field as a whole. Accessibly written and impeccably researched, this book sheds new light on the trials and conflicts that have led to the extraordinary position in which we find ourselves today--poised to bring the story of gravitational waves full circle by directly confirming their existence for the very first time.

In our modern world, people are encouraged to think out of the box. It has been pointed out that Don doesnt even have a box so thinking outside one comes quite easy. In an ideal world, we would all be able to question things and to challenge accepted theories. That is how we evolve and move forward as a species. Without questioning things we will never gain new knowledge.

Modern science has placed before us a vast and ancient universe, one said to contain a billion trillion stars clustered in a hundred billion galaxies and to be thirteen billion years old. Our earthly home, we are told, is a tiny chunk of matter randomly formed, revolving around a mediocre star in the outlying reaches of an unspectacular galaxy. Life on earth developed by chance. We are the end result of a series of accidents. This scientific Story of Creation, though finely detailed, isn't based on cold, hard fact. Scientists proclaim, wihout a shred of proof, that the laws of nature remain constant through both time and space. Upon this rock they build their world. This scientific premise cannot be proved. It must be taken on faith. This book dismisses the scientific premise and explains the universe based on an equally unprovable premise: That we are created in the image of our creator, and create the material world in our image. It then sets out to prove that the universe is not a vast ancient place ruled by chance but rather exists as a reflection, or shadow, or mirror image of us.

Angelic Mysteries is a systematic rationale, which sets the record straight about angels and their existence. Dr. Ricky Roberts brings academic analysis to the text of the Scriptures and divides truth from myth, fact from fiction, and information from misinformation. The degeneration of monotheism and the acceptance of other philosophical genres has lead to a disintegration of understanding of the mysteries of God's angelic forces. Using the Word of God as the final arbiter, Dr. Roberts systematically reexamines the role of angels in the Bible from the first appearance of the Cherubim in Genesis 3. The truth contained in Angelic Mysteries therefore becomes the standard by which other writings must be measured. Angelic Mysteries teaches the truth about: *The orders of God's angels *The nature of angels *The works of angels *Common facts about angels About the author: Dr. Ricky Roberts was completely and instantaneously healed in 1977 of severe learning difficulties that had plagued him since birth. Today, he has seven earned doctorates, including two Ph.D.'s and is an authority on ancient languages. He speaks Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic, and Latin. He has been honored by Who's Who in America. Who's Who in the World and most recently 1,000 Great Americans. Dr. Ricky Roberts is the founder of True Light Ministries, a teaching and healing ministry based in Jacksonville, Florida.

Most companies have a sizeable investment in technology but are realising only 20% of its potential benefit. BUSINESS @ THE SPEED OF THOUGHT introduces the concept of the digital nervous system which unites all systems and processes under one common infrastructure, allowing companies to make quantum leaps in efficiency, growth and profit. Using detailed tours of Microsoft and other major corporations, Gates demonstrates how integrated technology can transform any business by energizing its three major elements: customer/partner relationships, employees and process, and offers practical suggestions on how this can be achieved.

What happens when we literally walk out our Christian life? Drawing on Jesus' lived example of walking, pastor and bestselling author Mark Buchanan explores one of the oldest spiritual practices of our faith. We often act as if faith is only about the mind. But what about our bodies? What does our physical being have to do with our spiritual life? When the Bible calls us to walk in the light, walk by faith, or walk in truth, it means these things literally as much as figuratively. The most obvious thing about Jesus' method of discipleship, in fact, is that he walked and invited others to walk with him. It's in the walking that his disciples are taught, formed, tested, empowered, and released. Part theology, part history, part field guide, God Walk explores: Walking as spiritual formation Walking as healing Walking as exercise Walking as prayer Walking as pilgrimage With practical insight and biblical reflections told in his distinct voice, Buchanan gives you the tools and encouragement you need to immediately implement the practice of living at God's speed. Praise for God Walk: "In this beautiful, inspiring book, Mark shows us how the simple rhythm of walking can take us farther on the path of wholeness, joy, and God than we imagined possible. Poetic, poignant, and immensely practical, this book will change your life . . . one step at a time." --Ken Shigematsu, pastor, Tenth Church, Vancouver; bestselling author, Survival Guide for the Soul
