Do black holes exist? What is the future of the universe? "The book was born from conversations I had with one of my granddaughters, on certain summer evenings. All during its writing, I was able to relive those August evenings when the children showered me with questions while we awaited the shooting stars. The contemplation of the heavenly vault and the sense of our presence among the stars inspired a shared wish to know more about this mysterious cosmos in which we live. Here we will be talking about science, but that in no way rules out poetry." Hubert Reeves In this book, master astrophysicist Hubert Reeves unlocks the secrets of the universe. This is his spiritual testament to younger generations and a perfect occasion for us all to revise our conceptions about the cosmos.

It has been this way from the time that Cain killed his brother, through Israel's call for a king because Samuel's sons were not like him, up to the present day when children reject their parents' faith. Prolific author (37 books and counting ) William Powell Tuck wants to "tell to the next generation the glorious deeds of the Lord, his might, and the wonderful things he has done" (Psalm 78:4). In this book, he does so by answering serious questions from his grandchildren, many of whom are college age. He's not afraid to address the controversial questions with them, including current issues of politics, climate change, and human sexuality. But all of these questions are addressed from a foundation of informed Christian faith, honed through years of preaching, teaching and writing. At the same time, he addresses questions from the younger grandchildren in simpler terms. With an accessible, question and answer layout, the reader can find direction in addressing these topics during their own family discussions, or in teaching them in small groups, Sunday School, or even from the pulpit. Every generation can benefit from this book, but those who teach will find it especially helpful. Shouldn't that be every Christian?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You are told that mathematics validates particle physics. This is untrue. Literally no result in quantum physics relies on its brilliant math. Literally every result in quantum physics relies on the underlying web of unproven assumptions. For the uninitiated, correct math gives the appearance of legitimacy. “To pretend to know when you do not know, is a decease”, said Lao-Tzu in 500BC, and science has not found a cure for that persistent ailment. We took our eye off the ball and allowed a new quantum religion to gain dominance. The Primal Code allows your mind’s eye to fathom the duplicity of photon behavior at the speed of light. To watch gravity and the Strong Force in action and to appreciate the duality of mass and motion. You can follow the birth of a Hydrogen atom and Deuterium. You will realize why a corporeal electron cloud cannot orbit into a proton. Study our foundation up close in plain view, using common logic and kindergarten math. After reading this letter, my grandchildren, I promise that you will understand how we came to be, and what we are. The only corporeal particles in our universe are primal atoms that breed and gather into globular composite structures. Understanding the primal atom and its coordinate system is a paramount task. Physics is a discipline of physical thing. After a century without coherent quantum logic, mankind knows nothing about the inner workings of our universe, its invisible building blocks, and energy quanta. There are no physical particles in Quantum Particle Theories where particle presence is assumed by levels of field excitations. We are forced to calculate interactions on bases of infantile assumptions, agreed on by human mathematicians. The firm idea of physical particles is shunned, except by media for the masses. Curious students are told to shut up and calculate. The Universe is not impressed by our trickeries. So, let’s go together on a fascinating trip of discovery.

Book excerpt: Advice For My Grandchildren is a collection of anecdotes and ideas inspired by the author's grandparents, with whom he spent many boyhood hours. As generations and circumstances change, so do the experiences of our elders, and they cannot resist passing these experiences on to their offspring. In the minds of grandparents this advice is invaluable and timeless. In the minds of grandchildren it is often boring and irrelevant. This collection is broken loosely into three categories entitled People, Places, and Things. Reminiscences are not chosen for any special purpose other than to pass on some of the lessons the author has learned, often at great expense or embarrassment. This brief volume may help grandchildren everywhere get a jump on the competition, if not on life itself. We can always hope that they might pass some of these stories on to their grandchildren, perhaps 50 or 100 years from now. What better legacy?

Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling author of the Tradd Street novels comes an enthralling southern gothic saga about one woman's quest for the truth... When Vivien Walker left her home in the Mississippi Delta, she swore never to go back. But in the spring, nine years to the day since she’d left, Vivien returns, fleeing from a broken marriage and her lost dreams for children. What she hopes to find is solace with her dear grandmother who raised her, a Walker woman with a knack for making everything all right. Instead Vivien is forced into the unexpected role of caretaker, challenging her personal quest to find the girl she once was. But things will change again in ways Vivien cannot imagine. A violent storm has revealed the remains of a long-dead woman buried near the Walker home, not far from the cypress swamp that is soon to give up its ghosts. Vivien knows there is now only one way to rediscover herself—by uncovering the secrets of her family and breaking the cycle of loss that has haunted them for generations. READERS GUIDE INCLUDED

Book excerpt: This is not Albert Einstein For Dummies, but The Genius would be proud of the spirit of this book on the Theory of Quantum Entanglement, which is an enlightening example of complicated information presented in simple, easy to understand terms. Through a range of anecdotes and statistical evidence, Dr. Margaret, like a seasoned tour leader, takes you on a journey of your mind, body and spirit through the vast linked relationships among all forms of creation. From the quantum depths of the subatomic worlds to the endless reaches of intergalactic space, she binds you to all that is in a comprehensive study of the Oneness and the interconnectedness of everything in it. Unlike so many other philosophical and erudite works on Cosmology and Histology, this work slides you along easily in plain talk and down to earth examples, making you feel like this information was already within you... and it was. It just takes a little nudge to bring it into your conscious awareness. Enjoy!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new window opens onto the cosmos... Almost every day we are challenged by new information from the outermost reaches of space. Using straightforward language, One Universe explores the physical principles that govern the workings of our own world so that we can appreciate how they operate in the cosmos around us. Bands of color in a sunlit crystal and the spectrum of starlight in giant telescopes, the arc of a hard-hit baseball and the orbit of the moon, traffic patterns on a freeway and the spiral arms in a galaxy full of stars--they're all tied together in grand and simple ways. We can understand the vast cosmos in which we live by exploring three basic concepts: motion, matter, and energy. With these as a starting point, One Universe shows how the physical principles that operate in our kitchens and backyards are actually down-to-Earth versions of cosmic processes. The book then takes us to the limits of our knowledge, asking the ultimate questions about the origins and existence of life as we know it and where the universe came from--and where it is going. Glorious photographs--many seen for the first time in these pages--and original illustrations expand and enrich our understanding. Evocative and clearly written, One Universe explains complex ideas in ways that every reader can grasp and enjoy. This book captures the grandeur of the heavens while making us feel at home in the cosmos. Above all, it helps us realize that galaxies, stars, planets, and we ourselves all belong to One Universe.
