With the doubling of time, there is no time for chance to exist! Like the particles, in the infinitely small as well as in the infinitely large, we are on Earth, the observers of an intermediate time between (external observers)+ evolving in a very fast time and (internal observers)- evolving in a very slow time. In three doubled times - past, present, future - permanent and anticipatory exchanges of information take place in imperceptible time openings. They are regulated by three speeds: the speed of light C0 and two superluminal speeds C1 and C2. Independent of the speed of the observer,...

In the tradition of Daniel Boorstin, the co-founder of Omni delivers an original work of history that demonstrates why modern science rests on a foundation built by ancient and medieval non-European societies.

Some things were never meant to be found This was as far as Eli Massen could go to escape his former life. So far from the sun, it was little more than a speck of light in the sky. A good place to hide things. Things no one was ever supposed to find. The Shatter. All that remains of two moons slammed into each other millennia ago. Leaving nothing behind but a ring of rubble orbiting the gas giant, Obitron. A dangerous place to be, but lucrative for those brave - or foolish - enough to venture there. Guiding the mineral rich fragments into the Maw for processing. Massen did not consider ...

‘It didn’t matter that they were now three miles beyond their target site, that communications were dropping out and that they were running low on fuel. All that mattered to Neil as he searched for a safe spot to land was that boulders littered the surface below. “Thirty seconds,” called mission control. In truth, the flight controllers were now no more than spectators, just like everybody else. No more needed to be said. It was down to Armstrong

But to people in every country on Earth, it represented and still does so much more.

Directing his polemics against the pedantry of his time, Galileo, as his own popularizer, addressed his writings to contemporary laymen. His support of Copernican cosmology, against the Church’s strong opposition, his development of a telescope, and his unorthodox opinions as a philosopher of science were the central concerns of his career and the subjects of four of his most important writings. Drake’s introductory essay place them in their biographical and historical context.
