The world is currently closer to superpower conflict than at any time since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. World War III is a real possibility, and with 12,000 warheads in the arsenals of more than half a dozen countries, we are standing on a nuclear knife edge. Despite receiving very little attention, nuclear war is a far greater threat to humanity's immediate survival than climate change. While climate heating threatens humanity over many decades, nuclear war could destroy civilisation in just a few hours.

In this book Dr. Richheimer describes an optimistic view of reality that he calls the spiritual worldview. This view challenges traditional materialism, which posits that physical matter is the fundamental reality. Instead, it suggests that consciousness is the fundamental and ubiquitous feature of reality. It requires us to fundamentally rethink both cosmology and physics and it explains the counterintuitive aspects of both quantum theory that says that we actively participate in the shaping of reality, and relativity theory that says that the flow of time is an illusion. It offers a ...

The universe, in all its boundless complexity, is a riddle that has captivated human curiosity for millennia. We gaze into the night sky not just to admire the stars, but to ask the questions that seem to echo back at us from the void: What is everything made of? How did we get here? And why does the universe behave the way it does?

Across the Channel, Quaker astronomer Arthur Eddington battles conscription and ridicule to lead a perilous 1919 solar-eclipse expedition that could prove—or shatter—Einstein’s dream. Their parallel ...

The Story of the Universe was inspired by a very old idea—that the universe is one river and that galaxies, stars, planets, and people are all whirls and eddies in the universal flow, arising in the universe as naturally as whirls and eddies arise in a fast-flowing river. The universe arose once upon a time in a place that created time and space. It spread in darkness like an exploding black hole until there was light. It was pure energy in pure symmetry—almost.

Welcome to the Threads and Luxidoni Light Theory, a revolutionary new model of the universe — reimagined and restructured through the power of mechanics, not metaphysics. In this landmark volume, 387 questions and answers guide you through a bold new vision of reality — one built not on particles, fields, or imaginary dimensions but on threads and luxidoni: the physical, mechanical components that define energy, motion, and the fabric of space. This is not just a book — it is a complete structural framework that replaces wave-particle duality, redefines gravity as thread tension, and ...

The Folding of the Cosmos A Structural Universe Built from Threadoni and Luxidoni — A New Physics Rooted in the Threads and Luxidoni Light TheoryNot a Bang. Not a Curve. Not a Fabric. A Thread That Folds Into Everything. Inventor and theorist Samir Hanna Safar introduces a bold new physics in this groundbreaking theory. The universe is not built from particles, fields, or spacetime fabric — but from Threadoni, the universe's foundational lines, and Luxidoni, rotating energy discs that ride them. These two elements arise: light, matter, gravity, memory, and the structure itself. - Light ...
