It was with pleasure that CAUP became for three days the core to the cloud of star formation experts all over the world. Close to the celebration of its 15th anniversary - therefore still in the early stages of institutional...

Imagination and science take flight in this new description of our three dimensional universe. The old physics of equations and non-answers is replaced with mechanisms that explain reality. The fundamental particle of matter is modeled and mechanisms for...

This book is a critical examination of the astronomical evidence cited as proof of the Generalized Theory of Relativity. It discusses the fundamental principles of gravitational astronomy and explains why they give a different picture than that presented...
