The Special Theory of Relativity: Mathematical Refutations by Radwan M. Kassir English | August 8, 2014 | ISBN: 1500779520 | 162 pages | PDF | 10 Mb Conceivably, Einstein's theory of the Special Relativity has been the most criticized theoretical physics work of the 20th century. The theory itself involves some counterintuitive assumptions leading to absurd, rather unrealistic outcomes and paradoxes, giving the theory a kind of a fictitious, surrealistic aspect!Most opponents argue that the theory is mathematically sound, yet its mathematical formulation is based on faulty assumptions. Therefore, most attempts to disprove the Special Relativity have been oriented towards identifying inconsistent or illogical outcomes concluded from its predictions. This book, however, sets forth an analytical study of the Special Relativity formulation. It reveals that the Special Relativity assumptions are inconsistent, resulting in space and time transformations embedding mathematical contradictions. The unviability of the Special Relativity predictions is ascertained through various mathematical arguments, concluding that the theory is actually built upon the interpretations of a theoretical, deceptively plausible linear coordinate transformation-in a hypothetically four dimensional spacetime-derived from not only imaginary assumptions, but contradictory as well! The Quest for Reality: Subjectivism and the Metaphysics of Colour By Barry Stroud 2002 | 247 Pages | ISBN: 0195151887 | PDF | 2 MB We say ''the grass is green'' or ''lemons are yellow'' to state what everyone knows. But are the things we see around us really colored, or do they only look that way because of the effects of light rays on our eyes and brains? Is color somehow ''unreal'' or ''subjective'' and dependent on our human perceptions and the conditions under which we see things? Distinguished scholar Barry Stroud investigates these and related questions in The Quest for Reality. In this long-awaited book, he examines what a person would have to do and believe in order to reach the conclusion that everyone's perceptions and beliefs about the color of things are ''illusions'' and do not accurately represent the way things are in the world as it is independently of us. Arguing that no such conclusion could be consistently reached, Stroud finds that the conditions of a successful unmasking of color cannot all be fulfilled. The discussion extends beyond color to present a serious challenge to many other philosophical attempts to discover the way things really are. A model of subtle, elegant, and rigorous philosophical writing, this study will attract a wide audience from all areas of philosophy.

The Inner World of a Suicidal Youth: What Every Parent and Health Professional Should Know By Mildred Osborne M.D. 2007 | 178 Pages | ISBN: 0313348553 | PDF | 2 MB Electra is a well-loved, beautiful, highly intelligent teenager. Yet, as is not uncommon, she becomes so depressed she contemplates suicide, considering it for years until she finally takes action. Electra's diary, discovered after her death and presented here by a psychiatrist, reveals her first-person reflections through to her fatal college year, showing how thought distortions are caused and how they chip away at self-esteem and the will to survive. In addition to enlightening professionals and aspiring professionals, this work will empower parents to identify and address growing dimensions in their children's development, and understand the struggles they face. And the end result is that Electra's diary teaches us all a lot about changes that are needed so that we can develop effective suicide prevention and treatment strategies, says author Millie Osborne, M.D.Suicide is now a public health crisis. It is the third leading cause of death for youths aged 15 to 24, and the fourth leading cause of death for children aged 10 to 14. As author Osborne explains, Existing approaches to preventing youth suicide have had little impact on reducing the number of suicides and suicide attempts across America. By unveiling the private thoughts of a suicidal teenager in this unprecedented book, Osborne hopes that the legacy of Electra will be an understanding of the adolescent mind that will spur more effective means to recognize, treat, and heal those at risk, and so vastly reduce suicide among our youths. |
