"The primary intent of this book is entertainment.  Do not look for profundities!  All I claim here is an edited collection of naturally occurring anomalies and curiosities that I have winnowed mainly from scientific journals and magazines published between 1976 and 1993.  With this eclectic sampling I hope to demonstrate that nature is amusing, beguiling, sometimes bizarre, and, most important liberating.  "Liberating?"  Yes!  If there is anything profound between these covers, it is the influence of anomalies on the stability of stifling scientific paradigms." - From the Preface

"If you have any interest in the unusual side of the physical world, you just HAVE to have this book! Dr. William Corliss has spent decades creating the "Sourcebook Project", a vast, multi-volume compilation of reports of unexplained phenomena taken from the pages of professional scientific literature. SCIENCE FRONTIERS is a sort of 'sampler,' it is the distilled cream of Dr. Corliss' bi-monthly anomalies newsletter, featuring hundreds and hundreds of illustrated mini-articles, all organized into chapters: Archeology, Astronomy, Biology, Geology, Geophysics, Psychology, Chemistry, Physics, Math, Esoterica. Lewis Thomas said: "We do not understand much of anything, from the "big bang," all the way down to the particles in the atoms of a bacterial cell. We have a wilderness of mystery to make our way through in the centuries ahead." This book is an excellent demonstration of the wisdom in those words." Amazon customer

Earth's gravity has been increased from past up to now and it's increasing yet. Increasing of gravity affects on animates of earth. You'll understand the relation between increase of earth's gravity and animates evolution, and affects of increasing of earth's gravity on blood circulation system. You'll know how animals overcome with increasing of earth's gravity by developing more of blood circulation system and can enlarge their bodies. You'll realize to the relation between extinction of dinosaurs and increasing of earth's gravity in this book too and will read a summary of fact of increasing of earth's gravity.

Introduction :

Despite the progress of science in different scientific fields, there are so many unanswered questions about paleontology, geology and zoology. So many theories have been posed to answer this question, but they could not be accepted by scientists, as they should be. These kinds of question include: the causes of the extinction of dinosaurs, the causes of extinction of different species of animals in past era, the causes of the extinction of primitive giant plants belonged to carbonifer period, the causes of having small bodies for some animals and large bodies for the others, the reason why animals can not grow more than their present size and which factor prevents them to grow more, the reason, why some sea mammals come to coast and die there, the causes of physiologic changes when the gravity is zero, the causes of eruption and outflow of molten materials from the ocean beds, the causes of insufficient growth of some animals and their early sexual maturity and other questions like these. 

  These are the questions, which are not answered by scientists of different sciences. Although they have tried to solve them with detailed and long experiments, but they could not find clear and simple answers.

  The theory of the increase of gravity tries to find satisfactory answers to these questions by using the phenomenon of increase of gravity and by citing evidences. Obviously, a theory is not able to solve all the problems clearly and without mistakes, at first, and they need more discussion and criticism to be solved. However, this theory tries to find logical answer to these questions as far as possible.
So far there have been no discussion that whether the gravity has changed by the passage of time or it has remained unchanged. And so far no one claimed that the gravity have been unchanged and fixed during the past periods up to now. May be it is better to have a careful look at this theory and consider the evidences and proofs carefully, perhaps this theory can be able to pave the way for us and help us and help us to reach our main goal which is the improvement of our knowledge.

The people who have a lot of knowledge and not adopt their knowledge with each other and also do not relate them with each other, although simple-minded people consider them scientists, but in fact they have no difference with simple ignorant people, and these irrelevant knowledge?s have no value. When the knowledge is adopted by a regular and unified growth and is harmonious, it can be called integrated knowledge. This kind of knowledge can not be obtained by the accumulation of some information and assembling of large or small and irrelevant rules, rather they should be studied and analyzed with meekness, so the brain can choose and absorb whatever it needs. When the knowledge and information becomes exclusive and complicated the necessity of their unity of them is being sesed more. If a nervy person can not be found to do such a thing, the world of sciences will be impregnable very soon. Now there are so many proficient who, like a bee are not aware of the work that they are doing. They work very eagerly at a corner and also their work is very useful. But the science is not specific to the results of their individual work.

The growth of the science is like the growth of a living creature; some people should take the trouble of them, and should integrate and combine, so that can successfully unify them. If there is no attempt to collect and unify the knowledge's, the separated scientific facts and small theories will increase, but the science will disappear per se. The person who takes the trouble to understand the very complicated parts of science and to culminate, is like a passerby who watches the desert and whatever is in it, from a mountaintop, the hills with their strange shapes and the thick forests will no more bewilder him, and he can see all of them from the top of the mountain and none of them will prevent the other ones from being seen by him, and he can see all of them and can differentiate and recognize their relationships. It is not necessary for integrated to be broader than other specific sciences, Because the person who wants to acquire it, do not try to be aware of the punctilios and the mysteries which are allocated to exclusive knowledge or don't want to fill his brain with them.

Most of the punctilios which are acquired by the expert scientist a hard work, is of no importance for a comprehensive scientist. As the drawing of the watercourse of a river is very simple for a drawer, to discover which a lot of people have worked very hard. Also for a comprehensive scientist, the record of scientific facts and thoughts is very simple; every one of which is the result of the hard work and intelligence of scientists. But most of scientists prefer not go beyond the experiments and experience, But whatever they become more doubtful, and very soon the most expedient attempts to acquire experimental knowledge, looks like an accidental event for them.

When we compare the determined decision and attempt of a comprehensive scientist with other people's hesitation, we may consider him as a hero. Frankly, in this affair there is some heroic aspect, because it has an aspect of adventure. Exclusive researches usually do not face with failure, because their results are immediate and bring relief. An astronomer who extracts correct calendar for us, and a chemist who provides the colors for us as well as a baker who brings the bread of the oven, is aware of the result of his work, and also to write the cards regularly and putting them in their places carefully or to set the row of the insects and seashells and writing notes and articles about them is satisfactory for most of people. They know that their work will remain forever, because they provide the materials, which are the basis of any scientific compound, by the passage of time the buildings are built with these materials, and perhaps the building will be destroyed but the materials remain! Most of scientists stop here, that are they providing the material but do not build the building. I suppose that they afraid of bewildering and don't go forward following their natural instinct. They have right not to go forward, but the thought that every where they become bewildered, all of them will be involved in this situation, is wrong. If it said that the theories of a comprehensive scientist precede his experiences, the answer is that, this drawback is true about all other scientific theories and the person who poses a theory, should not be questioned that if he himself has tested it or not.

Whereas relativity attempts to explain the properties of light propagation with mysterious contradictions of physical dimensions and time rates-of-flow, and properties of gravity with the so-called "space-time curvatures," it is shown in this book that these explanations do not portray the physical universe in a rational manner.

In place of the irrational explanations of relativity, it is shown that only the properties of a universal medium in the form of an energy field - previously assumed to be the light-conducting "luminiferous ether" - can rationally explain the phenomenon of light and gravity. Furthermore, it is shown how this same field provides explanations for nuclear binding forces, nuclear energy, radioactivity, the origin of matter, and the macroscopic configuration of the universe as well.

In addition, it is shown that the so-called "Big-Bang" theory of the expanding universe is ill conceived and that only a steady-state cosmology can rationally account for the observed configuration of the universe.

This book is written primarily for the general public; only a high school education is required to understand it completely. Although some elementary mathematics is incorporated, it is only included as an adjunct to verbal explanations which are understandable in themselves. - From the back cover

A discussion on aspects of modern physics, the scientific conception of nature and the need to keep a watchful eye on the excessive theories of scientists so that an argument for a science based wholly on observation can be presented which will be available to both specialists and non-specialists alike.

The world we perceive is actually an illusion created within the boundaries of our mind, and there instead exists another world beyond our human perceptions, which is made from transcendental energies of the dark and the light, and is accessible only through the powers of our imagination. It includes:

• The first coherent theory for the human mind.
• The psychological origins of the ancient Chinese oracle, the "I Ching" and the Hebrew "Qabala".
• An organized word structure for our spoken language.
• The fundamental constructs of good and evil.
• Vivid and picturesque descriptions for Kant's "Noumena".
• A visual unified theory of everything.
• Unraveling the mysteries of sub-nuclear and cosmological physics.

Concluded with a thought-provoking poem of personal introspection, "Perceptions" will inspire and challenge anyone who reads it.

Many, perhaps most textbooks of quantum mechanics present a Copenhagen, single system angle; fewer present the subject matter as an instrument for treating ensembles, but the two methods have been silently coexisting since the mid-Thirties. This lingering dichotomy of purpose for a major physical discipline has much shrouded further insights into the foundations of quantum theory.

Quantum Reprogramming resolves this long-standing dichotomy by examining the mutual relation between single systems and ensembles, assigning each its own tools for treating the subject at hand: i.e., Schr?dinger-Dirac methods for ensembles versus period integrals for single systems.

A unified treatment of integer and fractional quantum Hall effects and a finite description of the electron's anomalies are mentioned as measures of justification for the chosen procedure of resolving an old-time dichotomy. The methods of presentation are, in part, elementary, with repetitive references needed to delineate differences with respect to standard methods. The parts on period integrals are developed with a perspective on elementary methods in physics, thus leading up to some standard results of de Rham theory and algebraic topology.

Audience: Students of physics, mathematics, philosophers as well as outsiders with a general interest in the conceptual development of physics will find useful reading in these pages, which will stimulate further inquiry and study.

Although this book is centered on gravitation, the underlying physics is in accord with all other physical phenomena, so that it represents the long sought-after unification of physical theories.

1. Presentation of new prime elements of Nature, the torix and the helix, based on positive and negative energy
2. Description of matter, ether, electromagnetic waves, and neutrinos by the same fundamental equations
3. Confirmation of the possibility of instantaneous transmission of waves
4. Unification of strong, gravitational, and electric forces
5. Identification of likely canditates for "dark" matter
6. Outline of a road map to a unified field theory
   

In A Review of Einstein's Relativity, Dr. Lawrence Stephenson shows that the equations of special and general reletivity can be derived without two unnecessary assumptions made by Einstein, the first explicit, the second implicit:

1. "Light is always propagated in empty space with a definite velocity c which is independent of the state of motion of the emitting body."
2. The transit time from emitter to receiver is exactly half the total round trip time back to emitter.

Instead Stephenson notices that "the observed velocity of light has always been found to have a definite value relative to the detector which is used for measurement."  The understanding of relativity presented in this book is actually more consistent with Mach's principle, Einstein's inspiration, than Einstein's conception, yet without the distortion of time and space seemingly demanded by Einstein's work.

The reader gains three useful results:

1. A readily understood visual picture of both the special and general relativity theories.
2. An original way of understanding the "anomalies" of relativity.
3. A model of gravity consistent with Mach's principle.

Short and to the point, this book addresses the questions of motion and optics at a fundamental level, understandable to the novice, yet challenging to the expert.  Highly recommended.

The picture on the front cover of the book shows a theoretically obtained image of a metal lattice from gold atoms. While the overall pattern matches the images from most powerful tunneling microscopes, the resolution of shown image is much superior. The secret is in the derived structures of the elementary particles and atomic nuclei. It became possible due to a new space concept, closer to the Ether vision but never investigated before. What was considered impossible in Physics for 100 years became a reality: relation between Classical Mechanics, Quantum Mechanics and Relativity. One big surprise is the understandable relation between the gravitational, electrical and magnetic fields. Another surprise is the existence of hidden space  energy of non electromagnetic type. Third surprise is that the gravitational mass could be manageable. Forth surprise is that the Big Bang is an illusion: The Universe is stationary, while every galaxy has own evolutional cycle comprised of active life (about 12 billion years) collapse, hidden phases of matter recycling and rebirth. The  most energetic cosmological events Gamma Ray Bursts are signatures of a galaxy collapse or rebirth. The currently recognized Crisis in Cosmology is a result of incorrect space concept.

Fire From Ice chronicles one of the most misunderstood and valued scientific controversies of all time. It details the events surrounding and following the 1989 Pons and Fleischmann announcement of the discovery of cold nuclear fusion. Mallove offers a unique insider's view of the controversy, while at the same time explaining the relevant science and technology. Nominated for the Pulitzer Prize.

From Library Journal
Mallove, a professional science writer, tells the history of recent cold fusion research from the dramatic Pons-Fleischmann announcement in March 1989 until approximately the fall of 1990. All the major twists and turns of the story are related with a modest amount of technical detail; it should be quite intelligible to laypeople. Mallove covers much the same ground at about the same level as Frank Close does in Too Hot To Handle ( LJ 5/15/91). However, there is a dramatic difference--Mallove is a firm believer in the cold fusion phenomenon; he is thus at the opposite end of the spectrum from Close. At the moment, the scientific consensus appears to be with the skeptics, but Mallove's book is nevertheless recommended for all libraries that have Close's. In tandem, the two volumes will give readers an interesting view of a continuing scientific controversy.

"Mallove brings dramatically to life the human side of this important scientific controversy, which has tapped the emotions of its scientific participants in a way usually typical of major scientific revolutions. Fire from Ice is highly recommended reading for anyone who is interested in the nature of scientific controversy and scientific change. I frankly could not put the book down once I started it."

Ratlos vor der Gro?en Mauer
Das Scheitern der Urknall-Theorie
Josef Lutz - Wolf-Dieter Rochlitz - Dr. Gert Balzer-J?llenbeck

Josef Lutz, Diplomphysiker aus N?rnberg, befasst sich seit mehreren Jahren mit den Ergebnissen der modernen Astronomie und ihrer weltanschaulichen Interpretation.

Jahrzehntelang galt die Urknall-Theorie als fester Teil der Wissenschaft. Wer sich dagegen wandte, wurde als ?nicht ernstzunehmenden? abgekanzelt. Dabei enthielt diese Theorie von Beginn an eine unwissenschaftliche Sichtweise ?ber den Anfang des Universums. Was war davor? Was ist die Ursache?

Aber immer mehr Erscheinungen kann die Urknall-Theorie nicht erkl?ren. Im Herbst 1989 wurde mit der Gro?en Mauer eine so gro?e zusammenh?ngende Struktur von Galaxien entdeckt, dass diese mit einem Urknall nicht zu vereinbaren ist. Neue Beweise folgten?

W?hrend ein Teil der Wissenschaftler heute von Urknall abr?ckt, greifen manche zu willk?rlichen Konstruktionen, um die ?berholte Theorie zu verteidigen. Gehen wir besser vorurteilsfrei, objektiv an die unabh?ngig von uns existierenden Bewegungen im Weltall heran?
