500 years of innovation from brillant minds
Whose idea was it to have machines that spit money?
Did the inventor of Semtex – the notorious explosive of choice for terrorist groups around the world – regret his discovery?
Where will the world be without GPS?
Many things we take for granted today – the ability to live without fearing the attack of deadly viruses or getting in touch with a loved one who lives in another part of the world with a flick of a button – are the results of the toil and tears of many men and women over the years. Thanks to those brilliant minds and their amazing inventions, the mankind was able to make a giant leap into the modern world we live in today.

What Quantum Physics tells us about our Origins and how We Should Live
An introduction to quantum physics, consciousness and the existence and experience of God
Amit Goswami shows readers that God’s existence can be found in clues that the science of quantum physics reveals. He helps readers to break free of the Newtonian, materialistic view of reality.
God Is Not Dead argues for “quantum activism” – leading a balanced life that incorporates both the quantum and material worlds – and an experience of consciousness. It challenges readers to change how they think – and experience – the nature of reality, the existence of souls, the power of dreams, the universality of love and the very mind of God.
Theoretical nuclear physicist, Dr. Amit Goswami’s work integrates the knowledge of mystical traditions with his love for scientific exploration. He is a pioneer of the new paradigm of science called “science within consciousness” which assimilates theories of consciousness with quantum theory. He received his PhD in physics from Calcutta University and taught at University of Oregon.
“Amit Goswami brings a deep understanding of reality through a synthesis of science and spirituality. He has contributed immensely to my own understanding of the nature of existence.” —Deepak Chopra, International bestselling author.

Explore the World of Quantum Spirituality
Quantum theory demands a radical re-visioning of the role of consciousness as the underlying organizing principle of the universe. Quantum physics is the bridge that elegantly connects two heretofore separate parts of ourselves in one stunning stroke, unifying the physical with the spiritual dimension of experience.
Written for readers with no background in quantum physics, Levy contemplates the deeper philosophical underpinnings of quantum physics, exploring the fundamental conditions it provokes:
• What is implied by the concept of no “objective reality?”
• How are we participating via our consciousness in creating our experience of a reality that quantum theory itself describes as “dreamlike?”
• What are the implications for us in our everyday lives that as quantum theory reveals that what we call reality is more like a dream that we had previously imagined?

The Special and the General Theory
Albert Einstein–the father of modern physics proposed the theory of relativity. Even today, scientists find evidence supporting his theories while conducting research with advanced equipment.
He wrote this book “to give an exact insight into the theory of relativity to those readers who, from a general scientific and philosophical point of view, are interested in the theory, but who are not conversant with the mathematical apparatus of theoretical physics.”
While the theory of relativity enriched astronomy and physics during the 20th century, technology today is getting ahead because of Einstein. Relativity: The Special and the General Theory caters to those interested in understanding the conceptual basics of scientific and technological advancements that Einstein proposed, in simple terms.
Albert Einstein (1879–1955) was one of the greatest scientists of the 20th century. Born in Germany, Einstein worked as a clerk before stepping into the world of technology. He became an American citizen in 1940 and taught at Princeton University. His work on the photoelectric effect won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921, and later became the basis of tremendous developments in quantum theory and electronic technologies and the atomic age.

Its Impact on the Ancient and Modern Worlds
To understand modern science as a coherent story, it is essential to recognize the accomplishments of the ancient Hindus.
They invented our base-ten number system and zero that are now used globally, carefully mapped the sky and assigned motion to the Earth in their astronomy, developed a sophisticated system of medicine with its mind-body approach known as Ayurveda, mastered metallurgical methods of extraction and purification of metals, including the so-called Damascus blade and the Iron Pillar of New Delhi, and developed the science of self-improvement that is popularly known as yoga. In the modern era, thinkers and scientists as diverse as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Johann Gottfried Herder, Carl Jung, Max Müller, Robert Oppenheimer, Erwin Schrödinger, Arthur Schopenhauer, and Henry David Thoreau have acknowledged their debt to ancient Hindu achievements in science, technology, and philosophy.
Ancient Hindu Science is well documented with remarkable objectivity, proper citations, and a substantial bibliography. It highlights the achievements of this remarkable civilization through painstaking research of historical and scientific sources. The style of writing is lucid and elegant, making the book easy to read. This book is perfect for all students and others interested in the developments of science throughout history and among the ancient Hindus, in particular.

DESCRIPTION:
Relativity: The Special and General Theory, in Einstein’s own words, is an exact insight into the theory of Relativity to those readers who, from a general scientific and philosophical point of view, are interested in the theory, but who are not conversant with the mathematical apparatus of theoretical physics. Written as a short paper in the beginning, this work was later published as a book which was originally written in German and first published in English in 1920. Einstein in his preface mentions that the main aim of the book was to take the concept of relativity even to people with no strong background in Physics. Combining Newton’s time and space entities of classical physics into one inseparable element of space-time continuum in his general relativity, Einstein gave the ultimate limit to the speed of light and its correlation with the concept of time and space in his special theory of relativity. The book is divided into three parts. In the first part, Einstein exquisitely elaborates on intricate concepts like coordinate systems, length contraction, time dilation, relativistic mass, Minkowski's Four-dimensional Space and most importantly talks about his exceptionally simple equation E=MC2, which completely changed the previously thought notions on mass, energy and their relationship with light. In the second part, revolutionary concept of general relativity is discussed in a way a common man could understand the anatomy of space and time. Explaining through simplified field equations, Einstein puts forth the beautiful idea of four dimensional space-time curvatures that laid the foundations for a century of scientific, specifically, astrophysical discoveries and explanations. In the third part Einstein gives a slight glimpse of his philosophical perspective towards the universe and the way physics defines the working manual of it. Here he considers the universe as a whole, and discusses the implications of relativity concepts in understanding the same. This book, even a century after it was published, is still the holy grail of theoretical physics and astrophysics.About the Author
Albert Einstein, a gentleman who belongs to the elite league of Newton, Tesla, Maxwell and considered to be the greatest scientist of 20th century. Born in Germany, and worked as a clerk in the patent office before revolutionizing the world of physics, Einstein with his incredible achievements in scientific world has become synonymous to the word genius. He provided the world, two of the most brilliant concepts of physics through his theories of relativity, and won the Noble Prize in Physics for his work on Photoelectric Effect, which eventually become the foundation stone for tremendous developments in electronic technologies and quantum theory. Einstein is not only celebrated as the greatest physicists of all the time but he was also a wonderful human being and philosopher. World War II and presence of Adolf Hitler in Germany forced him to stay in the US during the period, where he consistently tried hard to warn and evade the application of nuclear fission as a weapon of mass destruction. He collaborated and interacted with many extraordinary minds of his time contributing to the world of physics and humanity as a whole. His unmatched intellectual imagination collaged with his immense interest in music, philosophy and humanity makes him the greatest personality that scientific world and mankind have ever seen.

Description
Seven lectures by the brilliant theoretical physicist have been compiled into this book to try to explain to the common man, the complex problems of mathematics and the question that has been gripped everyone all for centuries, the theory of existence.
Undeniably intelligent, witty and childlike in his explanations, the narrator describes every detail about the beginning of the universe. He describes what a theory that can state the initiation of everything would encompass.
Ideologies about the universe by Aristotle, Augustine, Hubble, Newton and Einstein have all been briefly introduced to the reader. Black holes and Big Bang has been explained in an unsophisticated manner for anyone to understand.
All these events and individual theories may be strung together to create a theory of the origin of everything and the author strongly believes that the origin might not necessarily be from a singular event. He advocates the idea of a multi-dimensional origin with a no-boundary condition to remain true to the theories of modern physics and quantum physics.
The book provides a clear view of the world through Stephen’s mind where he respectfully dismisses the belief that the Universe conforms by a supernatural and all-powerful entity.
