A book that may answer some questions about life's meaning.
Starseed, The Third Millenium by Ken Carey is an excellent read, it will really change your perspective about who we are, after reading it, I felt a lot of my questions were answered and those answers made a lot of sense.

Well. You may have "felt" your questions were answered, but in fact they were not. You merely fell into a scam. I feel sorry for people who get scammed it's a dishonest practice.

Ken Carey is a man who claims to receive secret informational transmissions from aliens. His books are apparently what the aliens tell him to write.

If that isn't sick I don't know what is.

Ken Carey has been found to be involved in a few cult events, and has a history of...issues...with small children.

IMHO, There are so many explanations, so many 'languages', so many posible paths to "the truth" - Science, Religion, Metaphysics, etc. And they blend and overlap each other. I think we'd all be wise to allow for the possibility that all or none are "fact". We are a very young species with primitive brains that we're only beginning to use, and less to understand. We 'know' relatively little. At this point we are merely explorers. In light of those possibilities, it seems to me arrogant and dogmatic to decide that anything is fact and anything else is quackery. As each of us seeks in his own way, he brings his discoveries and opinions to the conversation that will hopefully lead us to understanding.

don't we just love those who will make accusations without proof just because they do not agree :rolleyes: what is ironic is statements like these are just as biased...

The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...
I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
