Exposing problems with Origin of the Universe theories The May/2014 issue of Scientific American highlighted a major calamity • theorists working in particle physics admit they’re in a state of “confusion” • there is “widespread panic” that particle physicists may be barking up the wrong tree • Science periodicals, forums, and blog posts suggest revising fundamental principles to resolve the “crisis in physics” Cosmology on Trial is an all-inclusive cosmology journal introducing the reader to many unexplained and unsolved mysteries of the universe. QUOTES FROM PHYSICISTS: “Theoretical physics is at a crossroads right now…In a sense we’ve entered a very deep crisis.” Dr. Neil Turok – Director of the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics Dr. Lee Smolin – a renowned physicist and bestselling author is pushing for a new paradigm in astrophysics: “We need to make a clean break and embark on a search for a new kind of theory that can be applied to the whole universe – a theory that avoids the confusions and paradoxes, answers the unanswerable questions, and generates genuine physical predictions for cosmological observations.” Cosmology on Trial – an Amazon Bestseller by Pierre St. Clair READER’S REVIEW: A great summary study exposing the relevant details regarding modern cosmology, without complex jargon. The author's approach is "Just the facts please, show me the evidence." The Big Bang, Gravity, Quantum Mechanics, and General Relativity are on trial and their apologists go to the witness stand. Will they survive the cross-examinations? A profound eye-opener of inconsistencies taught as "scientific". OTHER REVIEWS: “This book simply makes the very strong point that our cosmology of yesteryear was not based on solid evidence, and our cosmology of today isn't either.” V. DiCara – Japan “Scientific progress and complacency go ill together, and St Clair has done a superb job in actually advancing the cause of real science.” M. Lyons – USA Cosmology On Trial examines the case for the origin of the universe like an attorney in a court of law • Major physicists like Stephen Hawking have to defend the basis for their theories • The evidence must be beyond reasonable doubt; similar to the rationale for a jury to decide a case The book reveals that Newtonian physics, General Relativity, Quantum Mechanics, and String Theory have still not proven whether Gravity is a wave, a graviton particle, or even a fabric of spacetime. Gravity is not even included in the Standard Model of Physics although it is ubiquitous. Physicists still do not fully understand Gravity, the most common force in nature. “As a scientist and as an educator, I like the idea that we believe things because there’s evidence.” Dr. Richard Dawkins – Oxford University Professor and Bestselling Author NASA physicists admit that 96% of the matter and energy in the universe is a mystery. Can today’s cosmology be complete if science only understands 4% of the universe? Bestselling author Pierre St Clair digs deep behind the headlines to update the public about the current crisis in physics. • What science really knows about the universe and the one issue that is never studied • The most important initiative in physics which scientists ignore • The five biggest myths of cosmology that are not supported by observation or data QUOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: " Current ideas about the origin of the universe lack verifiable data. In spite of this, many ideas masquerade as relevant theories and compete for greater elegance just like beauty pageant contestants." “If you are interested in coming to grips with just what science knows and does not know about the universe then this book is for you.” A. Brennan – Australia
