The twentieth century gave us two great theories of physics. The general theory of relativity describes the behavior of very large things, and quantum theory the behavior of very small things. In this landmark book, John Gribbin—one of the best-known science writers of the past thirty years—presents his own version of the Holy Grail of physics, the search that has been going on for decades to find a unified “Theory of Everything” that combines...

Sixty-six million years ago, an object the size of a city descended from space to crash into Earth, creating a devastating cataclysm that killed off the dinosaurs, along with three-quarters of the other species on the planet.

In a sense, it...

An alternate Theory of Everything paradigm is developed to replace the Big Bang and Darwinian paradigms using the Christian Bible and current scientific knowledge of space/time, matter and forces. This theory eliminates the need for the theories of dark matter, dark energy, dark flow, rapid expansion, and even black holes by using the actual description of creation of matter and life in space/time during six of God's Days, each Day being 0.24 billion...

"Since the introduction of printing in 15th century Europe, Western science has become increasingly mechanized, both in its conception and its application to the world. But sadly, that mechanical development has come to be increasingly one-sided. Our modern sciences are thus now excessively mechanical. They overemphasize the use of external instruments and machines, in the pursuit of narrowly material objects. And they tend to neglect the education...
