NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From one of the world’s leading physicists and author of the Pulitzer Prize finalist The Elegant Universe, comes “an astonishing ride” through the universe (The New York Times) that makes us look at reality in a completely different way. Space and time form the very fabric of the cosmos. Yet they remain among the most mysterious of concepts. Is space an entity? Why does time have a direction? Could the universe exist without space and time? Can we travel to the past? Greene has set himself a daunting task: to explain non-intuitive, mathematical concepts like String Theory, the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, and Inflationary Cosmology with analogies drawn from common experience. From Newton’s unchanging realm in which space and time are absolute, to Einstein’s fluid conception of spacetime, to quantum mechanics’ entangled arena where vastly distant objects can instantaneously coordinate their behavior, Greene takes us all, regardless of our scientific backgrounds, on an irresistible and revelatory journey to the new layers of reality that modern physics has discovered lying just beneath the surface of our everyday world.

The Fabric of Space Gravity explains the pros and cons about the interstellar space field and possibilities of space travel that includes speculation about time travel and how wormholes and time machines' may not at all be a resolution for traveling astronomical distances in space in the future. Rodney Kawecki adventures introducing what he calls "Instantaneous Space Travel" as the fastest a ship can travel through the cosmos without becoming pressed to traveling backwards or forwards in time. He believes that time travel may not be an adequate explanation to shorten the great distances one faces traveling between galaxy's and star systems. He explains how instantaneous space travel relative to the zero gravity fabric of space may not at all retain the element of gravity that calls to having to travel in the fourth dimension. In the blink of an eye may be the only remedy traveling from point "a" to point "b" putting all speculations of space travel in an equation for space travel that allows only the intermediate means for maximum velocity based on the capacity of a ship's engine propulsion value. With a zero point gravity space field bending space or creating wormholes may not at all be the only possible means to travel the distance in space. Space curvature and bending space may not have a place in future technology based on the fact that the space fabric withstands the greatest degree of propulsion and pressure put in its grid in the beginning made in a surviving universe we live in being created from the greatest explosion event of all ' The Big Bang." Bending and manipulating the space grid made from such a powerful event seems useless to venture through time trying to duplicate only a small part of the cosmos for time travel. The irony of changing our universe from what it was made from seems too great a task the possibility too great.

This unique book demonstrates the undivided unity and infinite diversity of quantum mechanics using a single phenomenon: quantum bounces of ultra-cold particles. Various examples of such "quantum bounces" are: gravitational quantum states of ultra-cold neutrons (the first observed quantum states of matter in a gravitational field), the neutron whispering gallery (an observed matter-wave analog of the whispering gallery effect well known in acoustics and for electromagnetic waves), and gravitational and whispering gallery states for anti-matter atoms that remain to be observed. These quantum states are an invaluable tool in the search for additional fundamental short-range forces, for exploring the gravitational interaction and quantum effects of gravity, for probing physics beyond the standard model, and for furthering studies into the foundations of quantum mechanics, quantum optics, and surface science.

Author David Thomson and Jim Bourassa have founded the Quantum AetherDynamics Institute, an organization dedicated to understanding the Aether. For the first time in human history, the Aether is fully quantified based upon empirical data. Through a very simple observation noted nearly 200 years ago by Charles Coulomb, the electromagnetic units have been corrected of an error that has led physics astray for so long. Now, electrodynamics expresses in simple dimensional equations, the neurosciences unite with quantum and classical physics, and we can precisely model the geometry of subatomic particles.

Superstring theory is one of the most exciting and actively pursued branches of physics today. The far-reaching claims made for this theory would, if correct, provide the much sought-after Theory of Everything, the unification of physics. It would enable the fundamental building blocks of matter to be identified and amalgamated in a common description, with a unified theory of all the forces of nature. This book explains the theory for laymen, in an introduction to the subject which originated in the BBC Radio programme, Desperately Seeking Superstrings. A clear, concise, non-mathematical explanation of the theory and its profound implications is followed by transcripts of interviews with all the most important physicists involved in its development. Superstrings makes a fascinating topic at the forefront of modern scientific research accessible to physicists, philosophers and general readers alike.
