What if your dreams were more than fleeting whispers in the night? What if they were windows into parallel lives, each verse a doorway, each rhythm a heartbeat?In Parallel You Volume 2, Claude Phipps invites readers into a universe of poetic possibility where imagination transcends logic and fate bends like light. Spanning over 30 years of lyrical exploration, this collection captures the evolution of a mind unbound, beginning with a poem written at just eighteen years old...

LASER PROPULSION IN SPACE: FUNDAMENTALS, TECHNOLOGY, AND FUTURE MISSIONS takes readers on a comprehensive journey from the theoretical overview of propulsion fundamentals, to reviews of current projects involving high-power CW fiber lasers and energetic mm-wave sources with their ongoing and potential end-use applications in beamed energy propulsion (BEP). Written by experts in the field, this mathematically sound reference text also highlights graphical solutions of equations' results, as...

This book explores and explains scientific mysteries and principles, leavened with tongue-in-cheek humor and an abundance of illustrations. Chapters are short, but give an understanding of technology and science not available elsewhere. Questions include:• What holds a satellite up while it goes around the Earth?• Why is the sky (made out of clear air!) blue instead of green, or just black as night like the sky that high altitude jumper Felix Baumgartner saw?• How i...
