    Mijn hemel

    Op zoek naar sterren en hun verhalen

    In de nacht verschijnt boven ons een andere wereld. Duizenden jaren keken mensen omhoog naar de sterrenkoepel en vertelden elkaar verhalen over goden, helden en dieren. Zo ontstonden sterrenbeelden als Orion en de Grote Beer. Dit boek neemt je mee op excursie naar de hemel. Eerst leer je aan de hand van sterrenkaarten en duidelijke beschrijvingen de bekende en minder bekende sterrenbeelden kennen. Hiermee kun je als lezer zelf de weg aan de hemel vinden. Vervolgens is er uitgebreid aandacht voor de sterrenverhalen uit de Griekse, Scandinavische en Egyptische mythologie. Tot slot zijn er verdiepende essays met beschouwingen over het heelal. Daarin lees je ook hoe de nachtelijke hemel kunstenaars door de eeuwen heen heeft geïnspireerd. Er is voor dit boek geen exacte voorkennis vereist, want de toegankelijk manier van schrijven en verhelderende illustraties nemen je als lezer mee op reis. Gaandeweg voel je je steeds meer thuis in de sterrenkoepel. Een uniek boek voor iedereen met belangstelling voor de wereld om zich heen, die daartoe ook de sterrenhemel rekent.

    Time Expansion Experiences

    Have you ever been in an accident and felt that time slowed down? Have you felt time stretch radically, or even apparently disappear, in a state of deep meditation? Psychologist Dr Steve Taylor calls these Time Expansion Experiences, and in this book he shares his years of research into this life-changing phenomenon.Most of us will have experienced a TEE, an experience of time slowing down in an extreme situation, and yet it is a phenomenon that has never been fully explored or explained - until now.Psychologist Dr. Steve Taylor has spent several years analysing “time expansion experiences” (or TEEs), after collecting hundreds of reports. He has also found many examples of "time cessation experiences" (or TCEs), in which time appears to disappear altogether. In this book he shares the fascinating psychology and shared features behind all of these case studies, coming to an incredible conclusion: TEEs are a real altered state of consciousness, rather than a trick of recollection. Not only this, but TEEs and TCEs are almost always positive, with a sense of calm well-being, clarity and heightened awareness. In this ground-breaking book, discover profound implications: What do unusual states of consciousness such as mystical experiences, psychedelic experiences, and near-death experiences tell us about time and consciousness?What can the countless reports of “life review” - when people view a whole lifetime of events and experiences within a few seconds - tell about the past, present and the future?What does modern physics have to say about the idea that linear time is illusory?If our perception of time is an illusion, is it possible to speed up and slow down time at will, including inducing TEEs?

  7. Vintergatans Minoiska Civilisation Återkomsten

    Vintergatans Minoiska Civilisation Återkomsten

    FÖR CA 5 MILJONER ÅR sedan dränerade minorna Medelhavet genom att låta vattnet avdunstade. Saltet samlades in och användes som drivmedel för driva rymdskepp. Genom spegling av stjärnhimmelen i vattenyta som sedan memorerades kunde bilden tjäna som karta vid navigering. Astronomiska data som beräknats fram memorerades också. Atlantis var i jälva verket ett gigantiskt interneringsläger där man samlade in slavar och arbetare med fagra löften. Som sedan sändes ut till olika kolonier i Vintergatan. Sannolikt finns det en stor population av människor på planeter i Vintergatan som är hämtade från Jorden.Den Minoiska Civilisationen bygger nu stor anläggning på havsbotten i Atlanten. Här förefaller det som man nu har för avsikt att ta första kontakt med oss. Efter att ha varit ointresserad av oss, troligen för vi har ansetts för primitiva. Att Atlantis ej hittats tidigare (Nu upptäckts Atlantis städer A,B,C) beror på ren okunskap, anser jag. Man har utgått från läget i¿ Det Stors Havet¿. I Bibeln benämns Medelhavet som det stora havet. I min bok kan du läsa om min spännande resa för att hitta Atlantis.

  12. First Manned Rocket Launch
    1. Jean Paul , Pallud

    First Manned Rocket Launch

    The Natter rocket plane, a WWII German weapon, marked a key milestone in vertical rocket-powered flight.Well before Yuri Gagarin or Alan Shepard, Lothar Sieber became the first man to take off vertically from the ground under rocket power on March 1, 1945. The plane crashed after flying for 55 seconds and he was killed. The launch marked a milestone on the road to spaceflight, even though it remained virtually unknown to the general public for more than half a century.But the Natter was a weapon of war born out in the closing months of World War II when Germany was desperately looking for 'wonder weapons' to fight the inevitable defeat.A vertical take-off rocket fighter, the Natter would reach the Allied bomber altitude in seconds, then the pilot would get within firing distance of a bomber, and fire all 24 rockets into the nose in a single shot. Its fuel running out, the pilot will then glide the plane at high speed to a lower altitude, at which point he will trigger the plane to break up, a large parachute opening at the rear, popping off the nose and the pilot with it. The pilot and the tail with the Walter rocket engine would land under their separate parachutes, while the disposable nose, fuselage and wings were to crash to the ground.The Natter is unquestionably an exciting aircraft but it is safe to assume that it would have been a failure as a bomber interceptor.
