Prelude to Ascension is now available in audiobook format. We started the production process back in September 2018, and like virtually everything else related to writing and publishing books, it was a bigger job than expected - but fun.

I'm very pleased with the way the audiobook turned out. It was narrated by Samuel Peery. We entertained many auditioners - virtually all of them good - before settling on Sam. Now that the book is out there, I'm more convinced than ever that we made the right choice. He was great to work with and delivered a quality product.

I've always been a reader. I love printed books, including eBooks, but in recent years I've become a fan of audio. Among its many benefits, the primary one for me is that I tend to get eye fatigue when reading printed materials these days - especially for extended periods. Obviously, that's a non-issue with audio. My hope is that being available in audio format will make the book a little more accessible to people like me who aren't always up to reading a 560-page novel through a set of progressive lenses.

The audio version is available via the following channels:
Many thanks to everyone who has reached out to share feedback and appreciation for the book. My hope is that anyone who gives the book a try enjoys it. That was, and still is my simple reason for writing.

Very best,

-Brent

15) Dark Matter: Spacetime Cavitation

All prior posts in this Dark Matter series are summarized as follows: Spacetime Cavitation Summary Galaxies begin as regions of  Spacetime Cavitation  resulting from Universal Expansion, often taking on whirlpool-like shapes, which reflect the underlying curvature and motions of Spacetime itself, upon and within which they are formed (see image below). Matter has a counterpart within the realm of non-material Spacetime. When subjected to extreme cavitation, an applicable unit of Spacetime is converted into its material counterpart (mass and/or energy). Said another way:  Matter is a byproduct of Spacetime Cavitation . This counterpart is almost always hydrogen and/or radiation. With respect to galaxy formation, hydrogen produced as a byproduct of Spacetime Cavitation, which generally lacks sufficient mass to coalesce into stars by reason of its own gravitation when sparsely distributed, instead reacts to the Gravity Well within which it was produced, spiraling and c...

14) Dark Matter: Galaxy Formation and the Origin of Matter

Now for the next big question, which has to do with the origin of matter. All along, the assumption has been that all matter present within the Universe originated from the Singularity that preceded the Big Bang. As I have pointed out, I believe this theory is wrong (Big Bang theory, that is) for many reasons. I will touch upon a couple of them now, and a few more in a following post. If all the matter within the Universe is nothing more than the debris field of the Big Bang, then what caused the galaxies to form in the first place? I discussed what I believe to be part of the answer to this question in the previous post, finally concluding that Galaxies form at points where Universal Expansion causes spacetime to break down, cavitating into regions of non-flat spacetime. I call this process,  Spacetime Cavitation . I submit that most galaxies form as regions of Spacetime Cavitation like this, and quite possibly, all of them. To fully grasp this concept requires that we no long...

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. General Relativity actually predicts  Emb...
