Examining the relationship between perception and events, this highly significant volume contributes several important ideas to the "bridge" between modern science and perennial wisdom teachings. Part 1, The Reign of Relativity, explores the extent of relativity's domain and the implications of its principles for spiritual development. Part 2, ‘What is Philosophy?’, gets to the heart of Paul Brunton's teachings: how to actualize reliable knowledge...

RELATIVITY
"I'd tell you to be careful, but we wouldn't be here if you'd ever taken that advice. No reason to start now, right?"
For millennia the Anadens have ruled the known universe. They believe they've crafted the perfect empire, ordered and impervious to challenge. They believe the fight has been crushed out of the species they subjugate. They are wrong.
It's a suicide mission, without a doubt. Alex Solovy and Caleb Marano must steal crucial...

In Relativity: The Special and the General Theory, Einstein describes the theories that made him famous, illuminating his case with numerous examples and a smattering of math (nothing more complex than high-school algebra). Einstein's book is not casual reading, but for those who appreciate his work without diving into the arcana of theoretical physics, Relativity will prove a stimulating read.

Description
Is time-travel one of the unanswered questions of physics or philosophy? In metaphysics, the question doesnt even exist, in physics, perhaps. Relativity of the Half-Being of Representation is the first proof of its kind of the non-existence of time travel. To achieve a logical feat of such scope, it instead concentrates on its discoveries of parallel worlds just as concrete as unattainability of time-travel, for a complete cosmological conception...

He quotes some of the best Bible expositors of the past (Matthew Henry, Hamilton Smith, H.L. Rossier among others), and also brings the fruit of his own study to bear on the text....

In It's About Time, N. David Mermin asserts that relativity ought to be an important part of everyone's education-after all, it is largely about time, a subject with which all are familiar. The book reveals that some of our most intuitive notions about time are shockingly wrong, and that the real nature of time discovered by Einstein can be rigorously explained without advanced mathematics. This readable exposition of the nature of time as addressed...

"At the core of Einstein's general theory of relativity are a set of equations that explain the relationship among gravity, space, and time--possibly the most perfect intellectual achievement of modern physics. For over a century, physicists have been exploring, debating, and at times neglecting Einstein's theory in their quest to uncover the history of the universe, the origin of time, and the evolution of solar systems, stars, and galaxies. In this...
