A “must” for the serious student of Russell science and philosophy, The Universal One is Walter Russell’s first expression of his new Cosmology explaining the Mind-centered electromagnetic universe. Russell later revised some of the content of The Universal One in The Secret of Light and A New Concept of the Universe. Students of the Russell science should be aware of the historic sequence of Walter Russell’s books of science, and note the various changes in details which Walter Russell himself made. Nikola Tesla told Walter Russell to lock his cosmology in a sepulcher for a thousand years because mankind was not ready for it . Though a century or more ahead of its time, The Universal One, uniting spiritual Cause and scientifically observable Effect in a seamless whole, is now appealing to the many people—scientists and laymen alike—who are examining the nature of science and consciousness. In this 1926 historic volume, Walter Russell first reveals the possibility of transmutation of the elements. This is a universe of Mind, a finite universe, limited as to cause, and to the effect of cause. A finite universe, in which the effects of cause are limited, must also be limited as to cause; so when that measurable cause is known, then can man comprehend and measure all effects. The effects of cause are complex and mystify man, but cause itself is simple. The universe is a multiplicity of changing effects of but One unchanging cause. All things are universal. Nothing is which is not universal. Nothing is of itself alone. Man and Mind and all creating things are universal. No man can say: ‘I alone am I.’ There is but One universe, One Mind, One force, One substance. When man knows this in measurable exactness then will he have no limitations within those which are universal.” — Walter Russell, from The Prelude to The Universal One.

How is faster-than-light related to back-in-time?Albert Einstein knew already in the early 1900s, when he first published his famous paper about the constancy of the speed of light, that not only did this constancy imply that mass contains energy (E = m c squared), but that faster-than-light motion could lead to paradoxes -- some that seemed to involve backwards time travel.What are these paradoxes? Why is light and its speed relevant? This book will lead you through an obstacle course of conundrums and oddities, building up your understanding of how light's speed creates simple but mind-expanding paradoxes -- one conceptual riddle at a time.This is not your average popular science book. This is also not a textbook. This book takes one theme -- the universally constant speed of light -- and shows how it may appear compromised on scales from the quantum mechanics of the very small to the cosmology of the very large, and the resulting surprising implications can result.

Die auf Johann Wolfgang von Goethe zurückgehende Farbenlehre ist in Goethes Werk Zur Farbenlehre enthalten. Er stellte darin die während vieler Jahre gemachten Überlegungen und Versuche über das Wesen der Farbe dar. Goethe versuchte, das Phänomen Farbe in seiner Gesamtheit - das heißt nicht lediglich einseitig physikalisch oder von einem ästhetischen oder anderen Standpunkt aus - zu erfassen und zu beschreiben. Anerkennung erreichte er aber nur mit dem Abschnitt "Physiologische Farben", der die Erkenntnisse zur Farbwahrnehmung enthält. Er irrte speziell im Abschnitt "Physische Farben", der von ihm als Widerlegung der vorwiegend von Isaac Newton stammenden naturwissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse gedacht war. Goethe selbst schätzte die Ergebnisse seiner Forschungen zur Farbe höher ein als die seines gesamten literarischen Schaffens. (aus wikipedia.de) Read more

'She's a genius, I believe, because she lights up every subject she touches.' Hilary Mantel A Spectator Book of the YearGoethe claimed to know what light was. Galileo and Einstein both confessed they didn't. On the essential nature of light, and how it operates, the scientific jury is still out. There is still time, therefore, to listen to painters and poets on the subject. They, after all, spend their lives pursuing light and trying to tie it down.Six Facets of Light is a series of meditations on this most elusive and alluring feature of human life. Set mostly on the Downs and coastline of East Sussex, the most luminous part of England, it interweaves a walker's experiences of light in Nature with the observations, jottings and thoughts of a dozen writers and painters - and some scientists - who have wrestled to define and understand light. From Hopkins to Turner, Coleridge to Whitman, Fra Angelico to Newton, Ravilious to Dante, the mystery of light is teased out and pondered on. Some of the results are surprising.By using mostly notebooks and sketchbooks, this book becomes a portrait of the transitoriness, randomness, swiftness, frustrations and quicksilver beauty that are the essence of light. It is a work to be enjoyed, pondered over, engaged with, provoked by; to be packed in the rucksack of every walker heading for the sea or the hills, or to be opened to bring that outside radiance within four dark town walls.Lifescapes by Ann Wroe is coming in August 2023.

A revelatory account of the brain's capacity for change When neuroscientist Susan Barry was fifty years old, she experienced the sense of immersion in a three dimensional world for the first time. Skyscrapers on street corners appeared to loom out toward her like the bows of giant ships. Tree branches projected upward and outward, enclosing and commanding palpable volumes of space. Leaves created intricate mosaics in 3D. Barry had been cross-eyed and stereoblind since early infancy. After half a century of perceiving her surroundings as flat and compressed, on that day she saw the city of Manhattan in stereo depth for first time in her life. As a neuroscientist, she understood just how extraordinary this transformation was, not only for herself but for the scientific understanding of the human brain. Scientists have long believed that the brain is malleable only during a "critical period" in early childhood. According to this theory, Barry's brain had organized itself when she was a baby to avoid double vision - and there was no way to rewire it as an adult. But Barry found an optometrist who prescribed a little-known program of vision therapy; after intensive training, Barry was ultimately able to accomplish what other scientists and even she herself had once considered impossible. Dubbed "Stereo Sue" by renowned neurologist Oliver Sacks, Susan Barry tells her own remarkable journey and celebrates the joyous pleasure of our senses. Read more

Light enables us to see the world around us. Our sense of sight provides us with direct information about space and time, the physical arrangement of the world, and how it changes. This almost universal shared sensation of vision has led to a fascination with the nature and properties of light across the ages. But the light we see is just a small part of the whole spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, ranging from radio waves to gamma rays.In this Very Short Introduction Ian Walmsley discusses early attempts to explain light, and the development of apparently opposing particulate and wave theories by scientists such as Isaac Newton and Christiaan Huygens. He shows how light was recognized as an electromagnetic wave in the 19th century, and the development of the quantum mechanics view of wave-particle duality in the 20th century. He also describes the many applications of light, domestic and scientific, such as microwaves, DVDs, and lasers. We now use the whole range of electromagnetic radiation to peer both into the human body and deep into space. Turning to the future of optics, Walmsley concludes by looking at some of the most exciting new developments using quantum light sources in communications and computing.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.

A short easy to read 37 page book about solar technology that is up to date for 2025. The book is very fact rich and makes good use of lists rather than waffle text to condense it's content. It is the sort of book that is easy to read a bit at a time, but also the book could be kept as a reference book because it contains a lot of facts.This book would be useful for someone working in the solar industry as a neat aid for answering customers questions about solar. The book is also useful for anyone that wants to know about solar cells and panels in detail without being overwhelmed with pages of dull text.About the author,: I haves been interested in solar technology since the 1980's and my first poly crystalline solar cell. I have bought multiple cell types to experiment with over the years. I have a micro solar installation at home of 160W and a single micro inverter, but it works very well. My father was one of the first people around here to get a 1.5KW array of mono crystalline panels and utilize micro inverters for grid tied electricity production. He also charges his I-pace with solar.I am a strong advocate for solar panels they have worked well for us, and now they are so cheap to buy. My advice is to buy this book and you will understand solar energy, save on utility bills and help save the planet. Read more

This incisive text provides a basic undergraduate-level course in modern optics for students in physics, technology and engineering. The first half of the book deals with classical physical optics; the second principally with the quantum nature of light. Chapters 1 and 2 treat the propagation of light waves, including the concepts of phase and group velocities, and the vectorial nature of light. Chapter 3 applies the concepts of partial coherence and coherence length to the study of interference, and Chapter 4 takes up multiple-beam interference and includes Fabry-Perot interferometry and multilayer-film theory. Diffraction and holography are the subjects of Chapter 5, and the propagation of light in material media (including crystal and nonlinear optics) are central to Chapter 6. Chapters 7 and 8 introduce the quantum theory of light and elementary optical spectra, and Chapter 9 explores the theory of light amplification and lasers. Chapter 10 briefly outlines ray optics in order to introduce students to the matrix method for treating optical systems and to apply the ray matrix to the study of laser resonators.Many applications of the laser to the study of optics are integrated throughout the text. The author assumes students have had an intermediate course in electricity and magnetism and some advanced mathematics beyond calculus. For classroom use, a list of problems is included at the end of each chapter, with selected answers at the end of the book. Read more

HOW TO CREATE NEW PRODUCTS THAT UTILIZE LASER SCANNING Laser scanners (also known as optical scanners) are the engines inside some of today's most important products, including 3D printers, self-driving cars, light show projectors, barcode scanners, medical imaging, and topographical imaging scanning systems. However, engineering schools and universities generally don't teach students about optical scanners or how they might be used to make brand new products. This book describes a variety of laser and optical scanners and how they might be used to create great products. The author begins by illustrating some existing products that use optical scanners. He then discusses several types of optical scanners and how they can be configured for one-dimensional, two-dimensional and even three-dimensional scanning. This book has a special emphasis on galvanometer-based optical scanners (most often abbreviated "Galvos") because of their versatility and high optical throughput, although other types of optical scanners are also described including acousto-optic, electro-optic, polygonal, resonant, and MEMS scanners. The author developed ScannerMAX scanners; there are several chapters devoted to the design features of these “stronger, cooler, faster” devices. Additional information covers signal connections, and tips for the process of designing a new product in general. Read more
