Reveals the ancient mathematical principles refuting the notion of the solar system as an accidental creation*; Reveals how ancient civilizations encoded their secret knowledge of the sky in mythology, music, and sacred measures*; Shows how modern culture can benefit from the ancient astronomical and astrological worldview based on number*; Shows the role of ratio and harmonic proportions in the creation of the material worldHumanity's understanding of number was deeper and richer when the concept of creation was rooted in direct experience.
Provides compelling evidence that creation myths from the dawn of civilization correspond to cutting edge astronomical discoveries *; Exposes the contradictions in current cosmological theory and offers a scientific basis for the ancient myths and esoteric lore that encode a theory of continuous creation*; By the scientist who was the first to disprove the Big Bang theory on the basis of observational dataRecent developments in theoretical physics, including systems theory and chaos theory, are challenging long-held mechanistic views of the universe.
A complete investigation of the development and suppression of antigravity and field propulsion technologies *; Reveals advanced aerospace technologies capable of controlling gravity that could revolutionize air travel and energy production *; Reviews numerous field propulsion devices that have thrust-to-power ratios thousands of times greater than a jet engine *; Shows how NASA participates in a cover-up to block adoption of advanced technologies under military development In Secrets of Antigravity Propulsion, physicist Paul LaViolette reveals the secret history of antigravity experimentation--from Nikola Tesla and T.
