Einstein's twin : mind-bending puzzles and paradoxes from the world of science / by Stangroom, Jeremy,author.(CARDINAL)665545;
How can a cat be both dead and alive? Can you travel back in time to kill your own grandfather? How can a particle also be a wave? And where are the aliens? After guiding readers through warm-up logic puzzles designed to sharpen the wits, Jeremy Stangroom tackles time dilation, wave-particle duality, time travel, and quantum entanglement, along with many other scientific phenomena. Engaging your critical thinking skills while at the same time challenging your sense of reality, Einstein's Twin is a must-have for any avid puzzler's library.

The Russell Cosmogony: a new concept of light, matter and energy / by Russell, Walter;
2023 Reprint of the 1953 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. "The Russell Cosmogony with its new concepts of light, matter, energy, electricity and magnetism is a simple yet complete, consistent and workable cosmogony/cosmology which will enable future scientists to visualize the Universe as a Unified Whole, and will open the door to the New Age of Transmutation." -Walter Russell's (An Open Letter to the World of Science).

Everything in the scientific world view is based on experiment, including observations of phenomena predicted by theories and hypotheses, such as the bending of light as it goes past the Sun. As the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman said, "If it disagrees with experiment, it is wrong." From the discovery of microscopic worlds and gravitational waves, to the weighing the Earth, to making electricity, this stunning book by renowned science writers John and Mary Gribbin tells the enlightening, fascinating, and somewhat oddball story of scientific innovation."--(WorldCAT).
