Product Description
Relativistic Astrophysics and Cosmology offers a succinct and self-contained treatment of general relativity and its application to compact objects, gravitational waves and cosmology. The required mathematical concepts are introduced informally, following geometrical intuition as much as possible. The approach is theoretical, but there is ample discussion of observational aspects and of instrumental issues where appropriate. The book includes such topical issues as… More >>

Such as saying that the Big Bang Theory is part of Darwinism. They are two completely different sciences, one is part of astrophysics and extends way further in the past, the other is a field of biology. Why can’t they simply believe that God caused the Big Bang, I mean, the idea was developed by a priest anyway. Must the Protestant creationists be against that?

Product Description
Contemporary astronomers continue to search for ways to understand the irregular distribution of galaxies in our Universe. This volume describes gravitational theory, computer simulations and observations related to galaxy distribution functions, which is a general method for measuring the distribution of galaxies and their motions. Coverage embeds distribution functions in a broader astronomical context, and includes other contemporary topics such as correlation fu… More >>

This feature length presentation is a unique mixture of human interest and science documentary film. As the first comprehensive documentary to deal with major new approaches in non-big bang cosmologies, it reveals several deep-rooted theoretical and observational controversies. This is a fact, well hidden from university students and the general public, which is told with clarity and conviction: and potentially leading to the down-fall of the presiding Big Bang theory. The story is told by 16 world renown astronomers and cosmologist such as the legendary Sir Fred Hoyle, controversial cosmologists Geoffrey Burbidge and Halton Arp, philosopher and telescope designer John Dobson, astronomers Jack Sulentic, Jean-Claude Pecker, and Margaret Burbidge. Most of us are intrigued by questions to do with the origin and evolution of the universe. Where do we come from? Where are we going? These are fundamental questions. But no one knows the answers. In the last few years there have been many claims that we are finally getting a true answer. It is that the universe and all of the matter and energy out of which we are created was created in a great explosion about 15 billion years ago. This was the big bang. Most scientists will agree with this but there are a few of us, expert in the field, who understand that we still really don’t know. Most astronomical theory is arrived at in personal meetings between members of an influential elite. This film gives an opportunity to hear and see

In the sutras (scriptures), the Buddha spoke frequently of numerous universe systems, energy and matter, form and emptinuess, time in space vs time on earth, and many metaphysical phenomena which are beyond comprehension by the average person. Recently scientists used quantum physics to explain some of those topics. This video presentation by Maosen Zhong attempts to shed some light on on these intriquing topics so that Buddhists practising the Pure Land School would have a better grasp of references to rebirth on those Buddhalands, and get a better understanding of the cosmos mentioned frequently in the Avatamsaka Sutra. This video is extracted from a DVD produced by the Amitabha Buddhist Society which has branches in major cities over the world. The DVD is for free distribution and content has no copyright restriction. More details can be seen towards the end of the video.

Cosmology and the Qur’an

Posted by: | Comments (25)


This debate is a refutation of Dr. Richard Carrier’s article, “Cosmology and the Quran”, in which he attempt to point out that Islam is incompatible with modern science. The debate took place over the infidelguy radio show. Since the debate, Dr. Carrier has revised his article and removed many of the gross errors, but yet, he left in and reworded many of his false arguments. Thus, Dr. Carrier was unsuccessful in demonstrating even a single scientific error in the Quran. The original article is no longer on the internet. Dr. Carrier writes for The Secular Web on Infidels.org The Topic of Debate: Cosmology and the Qur’an Nadir Ahmed (www.Examinethetruth.com) vs. Dr. Richard Carrier (www.Infidels.org) For further information on upcoming or previous debates click here www.examinethetruth.com

Where are we today in physics and cosmology?

Posted by: | Comments (3)

Im just wondering where we are today in physics and cosmology in particular in understanding the ‘big bang theory’. Is ‘M theory’ still a big part of scientific debate at the moment or are there new more advanced theorys?

Or is the scientific community really just looking to CERN and the LHC now for answers? If anyone has any good links to info I would appreciate them.

Thanks
