Marcel Grossmann
For the Love of Mathematics
Language: English
Release Date: June 8, 2018
Zurich, summer 1912. Albert Einstein has just returned from Prague to the city on the Limmat. He sends a plea for help to his former fellow student, the mathematician Marcel Grossmann (1878-1936), for he is in need of assistance with the mathematical calculations of his general theory of relativity....

Einstein established that the world we live in is based on energy which is fundamentally movement at the speed of light. In the vortex theory I have predicted there may be worlds of super-energy existing beyond the speed of light, worlds beyond our current range of perception.
If we can accept that...
The Quantum Handshake
Entanglement, Nonlocality and Transactions
Language: English
Release Date: December 23, 2015
This book shines bright light into the dim recesses of quantum theory, where the mysteries of entanglement, nonlocality, and wave collapse have motivated some to conjure up multiple universes, and others to adopt a "shut up and calculate" mentality. After an extensive and accessible introduction...
