The bestselling author of Fermat's Last Theorem and The Code Book tells the story of the brilliant minds that deciphered the mysteries of the Big Bang.
*; Develops the concept of the metaverse, the ';transcendental universe,' composed of additional hidden dimensions operating in parallel with space and time*; Integrates and maps the theories of consciousness developed by Carl Jung, David Bohm, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, and other scientists*; Offers the reader a path into the hidden dimensions through detailed maps of psyche, mind, and cosmosThe "e;metaverse"e;as this wider universe is now coming to be knownis rooted in one interconnected consciousness that encompasses space and time as well as previously unknown dimensions only recently detected.

In this book Rickles considers several interpretative difficulties raised by gauge-type symmetries (those that correspond to no change in physical state).
This book is a collection of lectures given in August 2006 at the Les Houches Summer School on "e;Particle Physics and Cosmology: the Fabric of Spacetime.
This text focuses on the physics of symmetries, developing symmetries and transformations through concrete physical examples and contexts rather than presenting the information axiomatically, mathematically, and abstractly.
Most books on the theory and analysis of beams and plates deal with the classical (Euler-Bernoulli/Kirchoff) theories but few include shear deformation theories in detail.
