Hello to everyone here at UMSF! I am very happy to announce my book "A Journey; Science Essays from the Leading Edge of Discovery" is out, now with a few reviews posted so far. There are a couple of unique things you may enjoy about this book.
"A Journey" is a compilation of the blogs I wrote on Facebook about Astronomy and Space Science news from February of 2010 to just about when the Higgs Boson find was announced by Cern scientists last month. Each post I made back then on Linda Morabito's Space Place on Facebook was paired with a space image of the type I enjoy. That amounts to about 600 such images. So, naturally this is an electronic book, and best displayed on the largest screen you own, like a computer.
We have learned so much through recent observations made by the great observatories and those on Earth using adaptive optics. I began to consider the nature of the finds and ended up writing the Morabito Meyer Sequential Universe Hypothesis, which came out of a thought experiment about what the nature of our observations might tell us about the origins of our universe and its fate. At some point I went looking for any cosmological model which fit my personal observations developed during the timeframe the posts were written. I found one I really like. Perhaps you will agree.
Look forward to your response and feedback on this Journey.
My best always to the great people here on UMSF!
Linda
