Our current understanding of nature is in terms of matter that is acted on by forces. There are four fundamental forces, of which three are described by so-called gauge theories, a type of quantum field theory. The fourth force, gravity, is best described by general relativity, and our traditional ways of thinking about gauge theories and gravity look completely different from each other.In recent years, an exciting new correspondence called the "double copy" has emerged, which suggests that the above theories may be much more closely related than previously thought. Inspired by previous work in string theory, it originated in the study of how particles interact, but has since been generalised to show that many gravitational quantities can be simply obtained by recycling simpler gauge theory results. This has significant practical applications - such as new calculational tools for astrophysics - but is also of conceptual importance, in suggesting that our current ways of thinking about fundamental physics are hiding a vast underlying structure.This book reviews our current theories of fundamental physics, before describing in detail how the double copy was discovered, how it can be applied to different types of object in gauge or gravity theory, and what its current and future applications are. No prior knowledge of quantum field theory or string theory is assumed, such that the book will be of interest to a broad audience of physicists and mathematicians.

90 SECONDS TO MIDNIGHTOn January 23rd 2023 'The Doomsday Clock' used by atomic Scientists to evaluate how far our world is from nuclear destruction was moved forwards to '90 seconds to midnight' which indicates that mankind has again entered a time period of unprecedented danger.In the 1970's NASA's Pioneer satellites discovered a new planetary body in the far regions of our solar system using its infrared equipment. NASA growing concerned about how this planet would affect our world sent out another infrared satellite named IRAS in 1983 to scan the universe in infrared. Its 10 month mission re-discovered the planetary body called Planet 10 or X in Roman numerals. This Planet is already having a disastrous effect on the earth due to its huge size and gravitational pull but can only be seen by cryogenically cooled equipment.Not only is the Earth under threat from this intruder Planet, NASA is tracking a number of near earth objects, the highest threat coming from the asteroid Apophis which will either skim past the earth on Friday 13th April 2029 or crash into us creating a series of near extinction events.Realising that people would need an explanation on why severe earth changes were happening The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change was formed in 1988 to provide a false but believable narrative and gain the time needed for alternative power structures to take shape. These are; The Bilderburg Group, The World Economic Forum, The United Nations and the World Health Organisation who are now positioning themselves to become a future government-in waiting dominating our own democratically elected national governments when these catastrophic events play out.This world government will be controlled by a man the bible calls the Antichrist who will run a new financial system based on Central Bank Digital Currencies. This system will go global by 2030 and will replace all cash and card transactions. No-one will be able to buy or sell without his evil mark. Just before this system in fully operational Christian believers will be caught up to meet Christ in the air in an event called 'The Rapture' just before a terrible time on earth lasting seven years called ' The Great Tribulation' begins.This Book will also look at how the Vaccine injured are being completely ignored.

This collection of essays by leading scholars explores the present, dynamic state of metaphysical religion in America. It includes chapters that: put survey data on this growing group in context; clarify definitional issues in the study of spirituality in general and metaphysical spirituality in particular; and assess the networks, conferences, rituals, festivals, retreat centers and periodicals recently developed by metaphysicals. The contributors discuss characteristic practices of mental healing and meditation, and show the reach of metaphysical ideas into public spaces and popular media cultures. One particular chapter also addresses the growing controversy over the legitimacy of metaphysical individuals and movements that appropriate elements of Native American and Asian religious beliefs and practices to enrich or sustain their own practice. This rich collection appeals to students, researchers, professionals and the layperson interested in knowing more about the historyand more importantly the direction that American metaphysical religion is taking.

     At a combined 600+ pounds, Chris & Patty were a happy couple, but a heavy couple.  When Patty's weight-loss surgery was approved, Chris faced a stark choice--risk 'Bariatric Divorce'?  Or get on board.     Chris made the choice to adopt the healthy lifestyle his wife had recommended for decades--this time for real, and this time for good.  He had never been successful at weight loss before, but he felt he had no excuses left.  He knew this would be the biggest challenge of his married life...and he knew the best way to stay on track was to write it all down.      On the day of Patty's surgery, Chris began keeping a secret journal, and kept writing for 400 days, as they each completed a 100+ pound weight loss.  His journal describes their stunning transformation and the effect it had on their families, co-workers, doctors, neighbors, and above all, their marriage itself.     Containing whimsy, candor, and dozens of photos, this is the story of how one marriage survived--and thrived--amid the profound change that results from one partner's bariatric surgery. 

Immigration and Regional Integration in a Globalizing World, Christopher White makes an important contribution to the immigration debate by investigating the relationship between two of the most important forces shaping the current international systeminternational migration and regional integration. The ability to manage the movement of people across national borders is considered one of the primary responsibilities of the nation-state, but international migration always involves more than one country. The world has become increasingly globalized and international migration has followed suit. The vast majority of states have come to realize that successful and effective migration policies involve cooperation and coordination with other states, sometimes by choice and sometimes by necessity. However, these efforts, both regionally and globally, are often highly contentious and result in conflict internally and externally. Managing migration and integration are key concerns for governments in nearly every region of the world and will take on even greater importance as globalization and technological advances shrink distances and bring us closer together. White uses an evidence-based approach to understanding immigration and economic integration to debunk the ';migration myth' that sees a strong connection between these two factors. Contrary to prevailing assumptions, the main argument is that there is no substantial relationship between the international migration and regional integration, despite the political rhetoric that generates enormous fear and anxiety surrounding these issues. Instead of conflating them, countries can consider the benefits of integration policies without worrying about migration and can consider migration policies without concern for integration. This book is for anyone concerned about the issue of immigration and its relationship to trade liberalization and regional integration.
