Can You Preserve Your Farm’s Future in This Unpredictable World?

Der Autor zeigt, dass wir aus Bakterien gemacht sind und wie stark sie uns prägen, etwa durch die Produktion von Hormonen, die unsere Stimmungen beeinflussen.

In the 1970s, scientist John B. Calhoun created a “mouse utopia.” A world without hunger, disease, or danger. Food was endless, water was clean, shelter was plentiful. It was meant to be paradise.

The project became infamous as Universe 25—a chilling lesson about the dangers of comfort without purpose.

Relativity's validity hinges on the velocity of light being invariant—meaning it never shifts. This self-narrated audiobook argues that it does—and presents monumental consequences of that reality. As Einstein himself said, "If the velocity of light is even a little bit dependent upon the velocity of the light source, then my entire theory of Relativity and theory of Gravitation is false." LIGHT takes Einstein's quote and 1913 acknowledgment of this Achilles' heel seriously—and demolishes the cornerstone of relativity's entire edifice—and with it, much of QED.
