Darwin's Doubt

The Explosive Origin of Animal Life and the Case for Intelligent Design

by Stephen C. Meyer ...

When Charles Darwin finished The Origin of Species, he thought that he had explained every clue, but one. Though his theory could explain many facts, Darwin knew that there was a significant event in the history of life that his theory did not explain. During this event, the “Cambrian explosion,” many animals suddenly appeared in the fossil record without apparent ancestors in earlier layers of ... Read more

Once Before Time

A Whole Story of the Universe

by Martin Bojowald ...

In 2000, Martin Bojowald, then a twenty-seven-year-old post-doc at Pennsylvania State University, used a relatively new theory called loop quantum gravity—a cunning combination of Einstein’s theory of gravity with quantum mechanics—to create a simple model of the universe. Loop quantum cosmology was born, and with it, a theory that managed to do something even Einstein’s general theory of ... Read more

Infinite Galaxies

by Giancarlo Varnier ...

Galaxies are huge clusters of stars held together by mutual attraction, so as to constitute a system self-gravitating.The discovery of clusters of galaxies is very important from the cosmological point of view, because it helps you learn more about the value of the density of matter in the cosmos. From this value we can determine the curvature of the Universe and its destiny. ... Read more

Clacker Cosmos: An Antipodean Analysis of Astro-boffins and Astronomy

by Robert G Stitt ...

This book analyses what we know about the cosmos, measurements, forces, timescales. I flag up some strange assumptions that have been scrutinised in the past but are readily accepted today. I then look at some logical alternatives that might make better sense. I build an alternative theory starting from two differing viewpoints and end up with a coherent theory that predicts a cosmos that is ... Read more
