The Unobservable Universe: A Paradox-Free Framework for Understanding the Universe

     Were ancient Greek philosophers right about reality being only an illusion? What was really the biggest blunder of Einstein's life? Is everything we've been taught about the universe incorrect? In The Unobservable Universe, visionary scientist and engineer Scott M. Tyson successfully unravels cosmology from the level of rocket science and brings it down to Earth, demystifying the universe in terms that laymen can comprehend and enjoy, splitting atoms but not hairs on this magical mystery tour of the outback of time and space.

     Tapping nearly three millennia of scientific philosophy and drawing upon his three decades as a prolific researcher, brilliant scientist and inspiring writer, Tyson artfully deconstructs key misunderstandings that modern science inadvertently continues to embrace − unraveling the inconsistencies and paradoxes emerging from contemporary science and science philosophy, dissecting complex principles and debunking long-held premises with illustrative examples to expose vital new insights. His provocative theories, supported with pragmatic anecdotes and symbolic metaphors, translate quantum physics into a master blueprint for all cosmology readers to examine, explore and contemplate.

     Tyson effectively illustrates the meaning of perceptions in a way that will prompt scientists to fundamentally rethink preconceived notions and consider new possibilities. He guides readers in a bold, new direction that provides a coherent framework in which they can truly understand the universe and the underlying Theory of Everything. Informative and illuminating, this groundbreaking book's lively style provides an enlightening and entertaining page-turner, laced with a brilliant combination of compelling theory, solid research, simple analogy, contagious enthusiasm and enough humor to break a smile on the faces of even the most serious cosmologists. Tyson propels readers toward a new state of thinking, with a greater awareness and understanding of the mysteries of the universe that more accurately reflects its truths and realities. As a benchmark for cosmology, The Unobservable Universe will forever change the way we look at our world.

Visionary physicist, engineer, scientist, researcher, author and inventor SCOTT M. TYSON has devoted much of his 30-year career to developing new technological approaches and sustainable strategies for space and defense applications. Long-recognized as a pioneering problem-solver and "big picture" futurist, Tyson's groundbreaking innovations have accelerated the advancement of space electronic solutions while distinguishing him as a change agent in his field. He has fifteen patents in space technology and multiple awards to prove it - including a 2011 "Who's Who in Technology" award recognizing him as a key leader of scientific innovations in New Mexico's technology sphere. His work continues to have a profound impact on the way scientists and laymen alike view themselves and the world around them through his compelling first book, The Unobservable Universe.
