Prelude to Ascension

I'm very happy with the way Prelude to Ascension is being received. I continue to hear positive feedback from the Amazon sales site and various other channels. Many thanks!

Thought I'd mention that we're working towards releasing an audio version of the book on audible.com.

I'll post an update when it's available.

2) Dark Matter: From the Beginning

The paradox of Dark Matter leads unavoidably to a few questions. The first and most obvious has to do with galaxy structure. How can galaxies behave as though they contain 70% more mass than they appear to have? What keeps them from simply flying apart? But these questions quickly lead to the even more intriguing question of how they ever formed at all. Understanding the riddle of Dark Matter requires rewinding the clock all the way back to the Big Bang. Like so many other questions in physics, it can seem odd that two seemingly disconnected topics can end up having such direct bearing on one another. But in the end, unexpected connections like this often end up being a good thing; they are signals, hints that we may have tapped into a fundamental aspect of the Universe that once understood, could help resolve other mysteries as well. First, what of galaxy structure and rotation? Here the problem is that we cannot detect enough matter to account for the gravity that we know  must 

6) Dark Matter: Kepler's Third Law

Let us now perform another level-set. So far, we recognize and accept the obvious existence of matter within the Universe. Furthermore, as  E=mc 2  tells us, whether any unit of matter happens to take the form of energy or mass does not subtract from its overall qualification (or quantification) as matter. In other words, mass and energy are interchangeable; they are only different  forms  of matter. Of course, this is not to suggest that switching between these two states is a trivial thing - far from it, but that is a topic for another day. Next, we know that empty space isn't exactly empty. Meaning, in a very real sense, there is a spacetime fabric that can be coerced into forming gravity wells, or producing other observable effects such as gravitational lensing. Gravity wells then, are constructed of spacetime itself; they do not fall within the realms of matter, but have identifiable characteristics nonetheless.
