"Cosmology on Trial" ⁰́₃ A controversial book exposing problems with Origin of the Universe theoriesThe May/2014 issue of "Scientific American" highlighted a major calamitytheorists working in particle physics admit they're in a state of "confusion"there is "widespread panic" that particle physicists may be barking up the wrong treeScience periodicals, forums, and blog posts suggest revising fundamental principles to resolve the "crisis in physics""Theoretical physics is at a crossroads right now...In a sense we've entered a very deep crisis." Dr. Neil Turok ⁰́₃ Director of the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics"We need to make a clean break and embark on a search for a new kind of theory that can be applied to the whole universe ⁰́₃ a theory that avoids the confusions and paradoxes, answers the unanswerable questions, and generates genuine physical predictions for cosmological observations." Dr. Lee Smolin ⁰́₃ Renowned physicist and bestselling authorREVIEWS:"If you are interested in coming to grips with just what science knows and does not know about the universe then this book is for you."A. Brennan ⁰́₃ Australia"Scientific progress and complacency go ill together, and St Clair has done a superb job in actually advancing the cause of real science."M. Lyons ⁰́₃ USA"This book simply makes the very strong point that our cosmology of yesteryear was not based on solid evidence, and our cosmology of today isn't either."V. DiCara ⁰́₃ Japan"Cosmology On Trial" examines the case for the origin of the universe like an attorney in a court of lawMajor physicists like Stephen Hawking have to defend the basis for their theoriesThe evidence must be beyond reasonable doubt; similar to the rationale for a jury to decide a casePhysicists still do not fully understand Gravity, the most common force in nature"Cosmology On Trial" is an all-inclusive cosmology journal introducing the reader to many unexplained and unsolved mysteries of the universe.The book reveals that Newtonian physics, General Relativity, Quantum Mechanics, and String Theory have still not proven whether Gravity is a wave, a graviton particle, or even a fabric of spacetime.Moreover, Gravity is not even included in the Standard Model of Physics although it is ubiquitous.NASA physicists admit that 96% of the matter and energy in the universe is a mystery"As a scientist and as an educator, I like the idea that we believe things because there's evidence." Dr. Richard Dawkins ⁰́₃ Oxford University Professor and Bestselling AuthorIn spite of the fact that 96% of the universe is still unknown, Stephen Hawking declares on national TV: "The scientific account is complete."Can today's cosmology be complete if science only understands 4% of the universe?Cosmologists portray accounts of the universe as scientific (supported by evidence) when they're mostly a cloud of caveats and probabilities.Contrary to popular belief, cosmology and certainty are not in sync.Bestselling author Pierre St Clair explains the current crisis in physics.What science really knows about the universe and the one issue that is never studiedThe most important initiative in physics which scientists ignoreThe five biggest myths of cosmology that are not supported by observation or dataHypotheses lacking verifiable data masquerade as relevant theoriesPierre St Clair is an unbiased investigative journalist who digs deep behind the headlines to inform the uninformed public.Read this detailed analysis of the universe to understand exactly what science does not know about our universe.BONUS: Free videos (included with the book) explain principles of Quantum Mechanics like particle entanglement and the double slit experiment.
