Layman's Universe - Kenneth Smith - Bog

This book is presented as a "Large Print" version of Annex (2) contained in "Life around Black Holes". The title sort of gives the game away but it was written, in the main, some time ago prior to such revelations as the probability of "Black Holes" in all galaxies and the "Dark" side extravaganza (he would term it) and this tends towards its credibility as an option to challenge certainly some of the bizarre proposals which abound our media sources. It gives one man's viewpoint on many aspects of that which encommpasses us all, using logic and some speculation together with a dose of the known facts, in the mix, so to speak. To "wet your taste buds" keep in mind that "The Dark Side" is not just a "Star Wars" term it is also as yet, a figment of the imagination in relation to Dark Energy; Matter and Flow, which appear to have been sort of "plucked out of space" to explain deviations from physics norms. The Author (and probably you) believes that the human brain could never accept "Something from Nothing in virtually no time" and as such definitive solutions giving a starting point for all things tangible and otherwise including that known as "The Universe" are, let us say, a very long way off! Or "Light Years" away as the old saying goes and even after writing this the difficulty of accepting even just a single one of these as a measure of distance is recognised (about 6 trillion miles) is hardly nextdoor, shall we say! Little wonder that they think we will need a long kip on our travels through the Cosmos and a return ticket might expire, that is if you don't! The content also reflects his views on all that we are or have become with reasoned approach to Life, Evolution and the rest of it, so read on absorb, make your own conclusions and then tell him what you think.
