Raimon Panikkar has lived on the boundaries between Euro-America and Asia; Hinduism, Buddhism, and Christianity; philosophy, science, and theology; mysticism and prophecy. For him, our old habits of mind have been dying for several generations, outmoded by the arrival of a new w…
The book is based on the author's PhD thesis, which deals with the concept of time in quantum gravity and its relevance for the physics of the early Universe. It presents a consistent and complete new relational formulation of quantum gravity (more specifically, of quantum mecha…
Cosmic Origins tells the story of how physicists and astronomers have struggled for more than a century to understand the beginnings of our universe, from its origins in the Big Bang to the modern day. The book will introduce the science as a narrative, by telling the story of t…

"The essence of this book is to show that everything has a price within our temporal (t > 0) universe; energy and time. It addresses the very fundamental issues of physics from the position of the principle of causality, i.e. from recognizing the fact that time as a variable des…

The main focus of this book is on the interconnection of two unorthodox scientific ideas, the varying-gravity hypothesis and the expanding-earth hypothesis. As such, it provides a fascinating insight into a nearly forgotten chapter in both the history of cosmology and the histor…

The articles included in this Volume represent a broad and highly qualified view on the present state of general relativity, quantum gravity, and their cosmological and astrophysical implications. As such, it may serve as a valuable source of knowledge and inspiration for expert…
This book is the first all-encompassing exploration of the role of demons in philosophical and scientific thought experiments. In Part I, the author explains the importance of thought experiments in science and philosophy. Part II considers Laplace's Demon, whose claim is that t…
