Best Science Fiction Books

blogger /

This is one dubious question that everyone wants to ask on Google, which is the best sci-fi book of all time. This isn’t really as simple as a movie where -Citizen Kane’ would proclaim the award every time. Books are different; no two ways going about it. Everyone one has their preferences and everyone has their choices, and just because you related to a post or article on Google, doesn’t make that book an all time best sci-fi book, it only makes it a # 1 book in the list of a select few who agree with such articles and blogs. I have seen many web blogs, and articles talking about top 10 or top 5 sci-fi books of all time, but remember, they are only individual choices not an all around votes. This is why the novels I will mention are not all time best novels, but are my personal choice.

My first sci-fi novel has to 2001 Space Odyssey : This is by far the essence of human soul and existence; a path to our past, a way to know ourselves a little better. The story of 2001 space odyssey is about a black metallic monolith being discovered on the moon, which was planted there about three million years ago by an intelligent entity. But that isn’t the beginning either, the first Monolith was first planted during the early period when apes ruled the world. One morning when they discover the monolith, their DNA began to change; not by touching or praying, but by being in its presence. The advance civilization planted these monoliths for humans as a way to advance themselves during a certain period when man moved from one stage of existence to the other. I do not want to explain the entire story, but my personal fascination with human origins led me to make this my number one sci-fi book, which only leads me to my number two book. A Memory of Light by Robert Jordan, Brandon Sanderson: It came to pass in those days, as it had come before and would come again, that the Dark lay heavy on the land and weighed down the hearts of men, and the green things failed, and hope died.’ – From Charal Drianaan te Calamon, The Cycle of the Dragon. In the Field of Merrilor the rulers of the nations gather to join behind Rand al’Thor, or to stop him from his plan to break the seals on the Dark One’s prison – which may be a sign of his madness, or the last hope of humankind. Egwene, the Amyrlin Seat, leans toward the former. In Andor, the Trollocs seize Caemlyn. In the wolf dream, Perrin Aybara battles Slayer. Approaching Ebou Dar, Mat Cauthon plans to visit his wife Tuon, now Fortuona, Empress of the Seanchan. All humanity is in peril – and the outcome will be decided in Shayol Ghul itself. The Wheel is turning, and the Age is coming to its end.

Timeline by Michael Crichton: The story of Timeline opens in New Mexico. A lonely man, wearing a brown robe, is found wandering through the desert by a couple who happen to be vacationing there. The man is sick and doesn’t know how he ended up there, and he does not even remember his own identity.

It is discovered that the man’s name is Joe Traub and that he is a physicist working for a company called ITC. He dies, and the company takes his body and cremates him, as he has no living relatives. One interesting item is discovered in his pocket – the plans of a medieval monastery.

What is Spiritual Knowledge What is Religious, Arts and Science Knowledge

blogger /

At this new age, many intellectuals falsely claim to be experts in spiritual knowledge. Some believe that knowledge of scientific thought from religious texts to guide the religion or the scriptures as spiritual knowledge. Others continue to discuss with his knowledge of the experience or scientific knowledge of religious texts taught in some universities. But few people are saints who were witnesses in detail by withholding his knowledge of the texts of the thought of religion, arts and science and say it can not be expressed in worlds.

Spiritual knowledge is absolute knowledge, while religious arts, and science knowledge of human concerns. Spiritual wisdom is knowledge that comes naturally himself, while the religious arts, and knowledge of the human sciences must be learned from others, civilization or university.

Divine wisdom is endless and always the same thing with him and our internal correspondence of the entire universe is in the pace of work without fault. Religious arts, science and human knowledge are limited and will continue to change corresponding to human needs, culture and lifestyle of individuals.

Religious arts, science and human knowledge in the language is spoken and can be stored in the form of thoughts in mind, so it can be communicated and learned from others. It has its past and future.

Spiritual knowledge is beyond the spoken language. It exists in the astral body of man and fails to be stored in the form of thoughts in mind, so it can not be communicated and learned from others. It exists in the present moment in Astral body. Astral body made it obvious what is required. Astral body and spiritual knowledge remains hidden in the back of our minds to thoughts and thoughts of languages and can be experienced just to keep in mind retained consciousness.

The withdrawal of the attention of many subjects and objects of the world by controlling the senses of sight, smell, taste, touch and hearing through meditation, the truth of our religion, arts and scientific knowledge can be an experience, and thus our individual lives are linked to it. Also experience comes with sustained attention in the consciousness of those holy life experiences and spiritual absolute knowledge. Since the individual life and absolute life can not be known at the same time, people can not cage secret spiritual knowledge and its astral body put into words. Our adorable religious texts of many religions are not a divine wisdom, but the statements of prophets, to provide technical testify to experience spiritual knowledge in beyond consciousness and astral body that is subtle world of oneness of god. Simple study of religious texts may give us religious scholar who continue to imagine it as by its level of practice it.

But knowing the true spiritual knowledge is one who practices the words of the prophets of his religion on his life in sub-conscious. The mere thought of carrying spiritual texts or spiritual values of people serves no purpose. Consciously Think how many people visit each day to his spiritual guide and continue to pray. A few reach the destinations that are willing to forgo life linked to the world and dissolve into the absolute life.

Science Experiment Build Your Own Rain Alarm

blogger /

Many electrical devices are used as early warning systems such as burglar alarms, electric fencing systems and many more. Don”t you think it will be useful to have an early warning system for rain to warn you to close the windows and bring in the clothes from the clothesline? In the following science experiment you will build a device that can detect rain as soon as the first drops start to fall:

WHAT YOU NEED:

“9 Volt battery
“Plastic coated copper wire
“9 Volt buzzer or bell
“Clothespin
“Effervescent tables
“Wire cutters
“Rubber cement

HOW TO PROCEED:

1.Cut two pieces of thin plastic coated wire of about 2m – 3m each (or long enough to reach from the outside of your window to the inside of your bedroom where the buzzer and battery will be positioned). Use wire cutters to strip clean the ends of both wires. Make sure that one end of each wire has at least 30mm clean stripped, and the other side of each wire about 100mm clean stripped.
2.Push the 100mm stripped clean ends of both wires through a small opening in your bedroom window, and connects the other ends to the terminals of a 9-V battery, and an electrical buzzer or a bell. Use another shorter piece of wire to connect the battery and the bell to each other as in the diagram above.
3.On the outside of your window, connect a wooden or plastic clothespin to the other ends of the wires by winding it several times over each of the front ends of the clothespin. This will be your two contact pieces to complete the electrical circuit.
4.Place a small effervescent-type of tablet in between the two prongs with the contact pieces of the clothespin to prevent them from touching. You may need to experiment with several types of tables to find the most suitable one, which degenerate the fastest when coming in contact with water or “rain”.
5.Place the clothespin and tablet configuration on the sill of your window (you can use rubber cement to hold it in position).
6.When it starts to rain, the buzzer will go off and warn you that your clothes or curtains might get wet!

The power or “electrical energy” stored in a battery can only be released and allowed to flow when a complete circuit is made out of wires or other “conductors” that conduct electricity. In the above experiment, the electrical circuit is not complete until the prongs of the clothes pins with the wires wrapped around it are pressed together. When the rain drops degenerate and melt the effervescent tablet, the prongs with the wire contact pieces are pressed together, making a circular path between the battery and the bell. The current flows in a complete “loop” from the battery through the “rain detector” on the window sill to the buzzer and battery in your room. When the circuit is complete and the current is flowing, the buzzer sounds to warn you of the rain that started to fall!

How Science Found The Missing Portion In The Weight-Loss Puzzle

blogger /

Two out of three Americans are overweight. And diet after diet, the pounds always return. Why hasnt dieting worked until now?

Scientist feverishly worked on the ultimate solution and in 1994 they discovered a communication system between fat cells and also the brain. Fat cells create a messaging hormone called leptin that signals inside your brain that you are full and can quit eating.

One other leptin message regulates weight by telling your body’s cells to either get rid of fat or store it. Scientists assumed that over weight people needed more leptin. They were wrong!

To get more effective weight regulation, it isnt the amount of leptin, but clarity of the message that counts. If we consistently overeat, the fat gained sends out much more leptin which overwhelms the brain and body so they ignore the “stop eating start burning fat” message. This creates a vicious loop: fat cells keep creating progressively more leptin in an attempt to be heard, resulting in our bodies storing even more fat. That fat creates more leptin. This cycle is commonly called “leptin resistance” and it is a significant factor in the fat gain cycle.

The revolution started in 1994 at New Yorks Rockefeller University, when Dr. Jeffrey Friedman and his research team discovered that the fat cells of genetically obese mice failed to produce a chemical called LEPTIN. Leptin was the first adipokine, the first hormone shown to be made exclusively by fat cells. Researchers soon discovered that administration of leptin curbed the appetite and stimulated the metabolism of laboratory animals. Injecting leptin into genetically obese mice restored them to normal body weight. Leptin appeared to function as part of what scientists refer to as a negative feedback loop. When an animal is overfed and begins to gain weight, the increase in body fat leads to an increase in production of leptin, which in turn suppresses appetite and stimulates fat burning, restoring the animal to a normal lean weight. This method of internal self-correction is called “homeostasis” and it stabilizes the bodys internal state.

Overweight humans are not leptin deficient: the more body fat, the higher the levels of leptin in blood. For people who are chronically overweight, the problem seems to be that leptin is not doing its job of reducing appetite and stimulating fat burning. The effect of leptin is blocked. Scientists call this state LEPTIN RESISTANCE. Leptin resistance makes losing weight difficult if not impossible. The goal of The Fat Resistance Diet is to help readers overcome leptin resistance through a diet and exercise plan based on health research.

Advice about eating less and exercising more has been a resounding failure. Diets, whether theyre low calorie, low fat or low carbohydrate, all produce initial weight loss but do a lousy job of maintaining leanness. If theres a way that science can help us undo the damage technology has caused, then understanding and combating leptin resistance may well be the key.

Four Arguments for Being Grateful from Wallace Wattles Science of Getting Rich

blogger /

Are you trying to find the magic formula for the Law of Attraction and obtaining virtually everything you desire in life? In his classic book, The Science of Getting Rich, Wallace Wattles provided a simple and powerful answer: always be grateful.

Attracting More Blessings with Gratitude

For more than 100 years, Wattles “Science Book” has changed the lives of thousands of of people. Behaving and thinking in what he called a “Certain Way, ” Wattles guaranteed, will allow you to have the wealth you long for.

Wallace Wattles revealed something that is now known to be a scientific truth. There is a cosmic intelligence-the Creator or God -which is the source of the great things that are ready to enter into your life. This source provides abundant opportunities for you to become wealthy and realize your dreams.

This is the point where gratitude enters the picture. The best way of staying connected to this universal intelligence is both profound and easy, by being grateful.

Wallace Wattles 4 Reasons For Being Grateful

1. Thankfulness attracts good things you desire to you.
Do you want more riches and things that only money can buy? Then what you have to do is pretty simple: give thanks.

The more gratefully you set your attention on the Infinite when wonderful things happen, the more blessings you will receive, and the more rapidly these blessings will appear. In other words, thankfulness sets the Law of Attraction into play on your behalf!

2. Your heartfelt gratitude shields you from negative feelings.
Do you see your life in a negative light? Or are you feeling depressed right now? An attitude of gratitude keeps those thoughts at bay. Give it an opportunity. Imagine a simple thing that stimulates thankfulness and see what occurs.

If you fill your mind with grateful feelings about all the blessings in your life, you cant entertain negative thinking. A stress-free and joyful life is coming to you!

3. Gratitude raises you onto a different plane.
In his remarkable book, Wattles identified the journey between two realities: one focused on being a fierce competitor, the other on being a supportive creator.

The Competitive Plane is led by dog-eat-dog thinking. Here men and women think that they need to battle their way to the top and make sure that they overtake everyone else for a seemingly a limited supply of riches.

The Creative Plane is the complete opposite. Here individuals realize success surrounded by freedom, joy, and love. These people fully grasp that the universe is a fountain of riches and there’s not a need to concern oneself with rivalry. There is an infinite supply of every possible good.

Wattles’ main point is to shift into becoming a resident of the creative plane. And the consistent expression of gratitude allows you to plant your feet solidly on the Creative Plane.

4. Faith is the result of gratitude.
If a grateful state is a seed, faithfulness becomes its flower. The thankful individual continually expects good results, and expectation turns into faith. Without a living faith, you cannot get rich by the creative approach.

Isn’t the strength of gratitude amazing? Its a lot more than that. It is the main link to creating unlimited access to anything you want in life!

Don’t forget: Follow Wattles guidance and make gratitude your uppermost objective. Start your day with expressions of gratitude for the good things you possess and those that are on their way. This will bring you into resonance with the good in everything, and the good in everything will step toward you.
