Pages : 380

Book Description
Are you self-organizing dust that becomes alive if it is arranged in just the right way? Are you dust that had life breathed into it by "God", as the Book of Genesis says? Are you dust that links to a mind and is animated by the mind so long as the link remains functional? Well, what are you? Do you know? If you don't know, shouldn't you be trying to know? Go on, what is your quintessence? Write it down. If you can't, what does that say about you? Here's an astounding thing. Feeling types, sensing types, intuitive types and thinking types all have totally different ideas about the "dust" from which the Bible said we came. Do you understand why? Come inside and find out why you hold the beliefs you do. Your beliefs would be totally different if you had a different personality type. Doesn't that disturb you? If you were born in a different part of the world, to different parents, you would have completely different religious beliefs. Equally, if you were born with a different personality type, you would relate entirely differently to the world and believe totally different things about the nature of reality. Don't you want to rise above all these contingencies and know what the absolute, objective truth is? Why not?!

Book Description
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 On October 19, 1899, a seventeen-year-old boy climbed a cherry tree and had an epiphany. He imagined how wonderful it would be to make some device that could travel to Mars. He dedicated his life to the dream of perfecting a rocket that would make this vision a reality. #2 The first pioneer was the Russian rocket scientist Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, who mapped out the theoretical basis for space travel and paved the way for Goddard. Tsiolkovsky lived in total poverty, was a recluse, and scraped by as a schoolteacher. #3 Goddard was a scientist who, in 1926, made history with the first successful launch of a liquid fueled rocket. He developed the basic architecture for all chemical rockets, and his laboratory at Clark College established the basic architecture for all rocket scientists. #4 Goddard was a whipping boy for the media, who did not understand Newton’s laws of motion and believed that rockets could not move in the vacuum of outer space. But this law, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, governs space travel.

[An] alternately fascinating and frightening book.” —San Francisco Chronicle Space elevators. Internet-enabled contact lenses. Cars that fly by floating on magnetic fields. This is the stuff of science fiction—it’s also daily life in the year 2100. Renowned theoretical physicist Michio Kaku considers how these inventions will affect the world economy, addressing the key questions: Who will have jobs? Which nations will prosper? Kaku interviews three hundred of the world’s top scientists—working in their labs on astonishing prototypes. He also takes into account the rigorous scientific principles that regulate how quickly, how safely, and how far technologies can advance. In Physics of the Future, Kaku forecasts a century of earthshaking advances in technology that could make even the last centuries’ leaps and bounds seem insignificant.
