A Funny Place: Our World-The Surface To A Higher Realm [Paperback]

The Big Bang is bonkers. A belief of close to a hundred years is no more. Einstein's ground-breaking theory of relativity led to its birth and, now, demands its demise.

The far-distant cosmos, in Big Bang lore, should be expanding away from us at relativistic speeds (that is, at velocities almost as fast as light). Einstein's theories require, therefore, that time should also expand. But recent observations prove that it does not; and without this dilation, Big Bang theory cannot stand.

In its stead, Dr. Peter Strassberg shows our world to be a surface, the three-dimensional cover, of a compressed core of seething energy--the driving force of the universe. He takes us on a voyage of understanding, and this knowledge, if, and when applied, can empower us all.
