| defying the laws of physics: Stoogeology Peter Seely, Gail W. Pieper, 2007-05-15 In the world of slapstick comedy, few are more beloved than the Three Stooges. Throughout their 190 short films, they consistently delivered physical, verbal and situational comedy in new and creative ways. Following the trio from outer space to ancient Rome, this volume provides an in-depth look at their comedy and its impact on twentieth century art, culture and thought. This analysis reveals new insights into the language, literary structure, politics, race, gender, ethnicity and even psychology of the classic shorts. It discusses the elements of surrealism within the Stooges films, exploring the many ways in which they created their own reality regardless of time and space. The portrayal of women and minorities and the role of the mistake in Stooges' works are also addressed. Moreover, the book examines the impact that the Columbia Studios style and the austerity of its Short Subjects Department had on the work of the Three Stooges, films that ironically have outlasted more costly and celebrated productions. |

| defying the laws of physics: The Three Rooms Kevin Murphy, 2018-08-07 Move into the Present Room and Enjoy Your Life “The Three Rooms is a heartfelt seminal text which addresses self-understanding in spatial and temporal terms, simple enough for a child to understand, yet deep enough to awaken a true spiritual seeker.” —Dr. Michael R. Cunningham, Chancellor, National University System Most of us are sleepwalking, focusing on the physical world when we should be paying attention to our inner selves, and to being in the present. The Three Rooms will help readers awaken and align with their Higher Self. The book uses the metaphor of rooms to represent places our thoughts go: backwards to the Past Room, forward to the Future Room, or now in the Present Room. In the Present Room, there are no regrets of the past or fears of the future; it is the ideal state “where we can find joy, peace, acceptance, and compassion,” among other positive emotions. That is where we are meant to be. |

| defying the laws of physics: Thoughts Worth Thinking Kris Doulos, 2015-09-24 The book consists of 106 topics. Some will inspire, some will inform, and some will make the reader angry. The information is based upon the information in the Bible. Longstanding traditions are placed alongside the words of Jesus so the reader can decide which he thinks is true. The intent is to be accurate without being judgmental. Do you know the name Gabriel told Mary to call her baby was not Jesus? Do you know Armageddon has already happened? Do you know there is no Greek word that can be correctly translated using the English word hell? Do you know Paul contradicted Jesus? These and other questions related to erroneous traditional beliefs are answered by the text of the Bible. |
| defying the laws of physics: What Is Real? Adam Becker, 2018-03-20 A thorough, illuminating exploration of the most consequential controversy raging in modern science. --New York Times Book Review An Editor's Choice, New York Times Book Review Longlisted for PEN/E.O. Wilson Prize for Literary Science Writing Longlisted for Goodreads Choice Award Every physicist agrees quantum mechanics is among humanity's finest scientific achievements. But ask what it means, and the result will be a brawl. For a century, most physicists have followed Niels Bohr's solipsistic and poorly reasoned Copenhagen interpretation. Indeed, questioning it has long meant professional ruin, yet some daring physicists, such as John Bell, David Bohm, and Hugh Everett, persisted in seeking the true meaning of quantum mechanics. What Is Real? is the gripping story of this battle of ideas and the courageous scientists who dared to stand up for truth. An excellent, accessible account. --Wall Street Journal Splendid. . . .

People today imagine that ancient humans were just like us, but at a more primitive stage of development. In fact, ancient humans were nothing like us. They had incredible abilities - superpowers - that we have now lost. We discarded them in the course of becoming modern, conscious humans, but these superpowers still lie latent in all of us, and can be recovered in the right circumstances. The ancient humans were the Prometheans, bridging the gap to the gods, and supremely well-versed in carrying the divine fire. They knew the secrets of the gods. Isn't it time to regain all of their lost knowledge and power? |
| defying the laws of physics: Watchers of the Rainbow Covenant Derrick G. Lindsey, 2010-12 1: Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, 2: that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose. 3: And the LORD said, My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years. 4: There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown. (Genesis 6: 1-4 NKJV) 13: I saw in the visions of my head while on my bed, and there was a watcher, a holy one, coming down from heaven. (Daniel 4:13 NKJV) 17: This decision is by the decree of the watchers, And the sentence by the word of the holy ones, In order that the living may know That the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, Gives it to whomever He will, And sets over it the lowest of men.(Daniel 4:17 NKJV) What are we to believe when we discover that what we've always thought and believed is so extraordinarily different, it's beyond our wildest imagination? Three unlikely partners become unlikely heroes; Robert, Joshua and Timothy find themselves in just such a plight. In 23rd century Los Angeles, the line that separates science from religion is about to be shattered beyond all time.

| defying the laws of physics: Unconventional Flying Objects Hill, Paul R., 2014-06-01 Paul Hill was a well-respected NASA scientist when, in the early 1950s, he had a UFO sighting. Soon after, he built the first flying platform and was able to duplicate the UFO's tilt-to-control maneuvers. Official policy, however, prevented him from proclaiming his findings. I was destined, says Hill, to be as unidentified as the flying objects. For the next twenty-five years, Hill acted as an unofficial clearinghouse at NASA, collecting and analyzing sightings' reports for physical properties, propulsion possibilities, dynamics, etc. To refute claims that UFOs defy the laws of physics, he had to make technological sense... of the unconventional object. After his retirement from NASA, Hill finally completed his remarkable analysis. This book, published posthumously, presents his findings that UFOs obey, not defy, the laws of physics. Vindicating his own sighting and thousands of others, he proves that UFO technology is not only explainable, but attainable. |
| defying the laws of physics: We Love Energy Too! Let’s talk about Energy: Connecting Quantum Physics to People Susan Barbaro, Julie Bonetti, 2016-06-26 We Love Energy Too: VOLUME 2: Science can explain a lot of things – from the laws of physics to the planetary movements. There are some things that still elude science, and science itself confirms that certain phenomena are beyond the standard laws as we know them. The laws of physics exist, and are accurate, however, we cannot determine that they are complete. How and what does that say for us here, and for how we live? What is possible if we open our minds and think beyond the laws of science and physics? When you explore science in a new way you can relate it to people and interactions in a new way, and come up with interesting hypotheses. From the Authors: If you have any interest in things other than people’s stories, complaints and drama, and feel that there is something else out there, you’re right, there is. And that’s where we are. Social media, television, movies, other self-help books are unfulfilling. They just perpetuate an empty feeling. If you are interested in what everyone else is doing, keep supporting them. Yet, if you are interested in accessing something else within yourself and all around you, our books help to open the door to magick, science, creativity, and psychic ability. We work with energy. What does that mean? Everyone wants to talk to us or be in our conversations. So, we wrote about what we know and have experienced. If you want to be in our conversations, listen to our podcasts. Otherwise, read our books, that’s where the energy is. Find our books on our Amazon Author pages.

| defying the laws of physics: Sathyam Sivam Sundaram N. Kasturi, 2014-10-21 “Know Me as the Teacher of Truth, Sathyam Sivam Sundaram” Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba has said. Chronicled by Professor N. Kasturi, the biographer of the Avatar of the Age, this third volume of Sathyam Sivam Sundaram, depicting the Divine life covering the period from 1969 to 1972, highlights a variety of epoch making events, such as the inauguration of Dharmakshetra in Mumbai, in May, 1968, by Bhagawan, after it was built in an incredible hundred and eight days of dedicated work, the first World Conference and the historic public meeting addressed by Bhagawan at Mumbai, in which the then Deputy Prime Minister of India, Sri Morarji Desai took part, and the miraculous cure of Kulapathi Dr. K. M. Munshi from Parkinson’s disease by Baba, as narrated by Dr. Munshi himself. The Divine tour of Africa is unique in its portrayal, as the biographer takes the readers virtually along with him, with his beautiful narration. The establishment of the college for women at Anantapur, for the uplift of women, by Bhagawan in June, 1966, the manifestation of jyotir linga, which lay hidden at the Somanath Temple in Sourashtra, curing a strange malady, with which the doctors of Dibrugarh were afflicted, and the installation of Shirdi idol at Guindy, Chennai are some of the many Divine leelas narrated by the author in his own inimitable style. |

Isolated and burdened by sorrow, his life takes an unexpected turn when he encounters a mysterious mentor who recognizes both his inner turmoil and potential. Through this divine intervention, Ishant is gently guided on a journey of spiritual awakening. This path leads him to an ancient Gurukul, a secluded school steeped in mysticism and surreal beauty. The school, with its timeless teachings and ethereal aura, becomes Ishant's sanctuary.

| defying the laws of physics: The Science Handbook Matthew S. Deal, 2023-11-11 This handbook presents a diverse array of scientific concepts, with the intent that one or several will spark an interest in deeper exploration. The first attempt for this book was to compile all the First Laws of science as an introduction. However, focusing solely on the “first laws” omitted too many fascinating and crucial concepts that would be ideal in an introductory handbook such as this. Consequently, the book evolved to feature various theories and principles of science, aiming to attract folks with a term, concept, or idea that drives their curiosity further. Thus, this book is not intended as a reference source, but rather as a catalyst for exploration and discovery. |

| defying the laws of physics: Our Fragile Moment Michael E. Mann, 2023-09-26 In this sweeping work of science and history, the renowned climate scientist and author of The New Climate War shows us the conditions on Earth that allowed humans not only to exist but thrive, and how they are imperiled if we veer off course. For the vast majority of its 4.54 billion years, Earth has proven it can manage just fine without human beings. Then came the first proto-humans, who emerged just a little more than 2 million years ago—a fleeting moment in geological time. What is it that made this benevolent moment of ours possible? Ironically, it’s the very same thing that now threatens us—climate change. The drying of the tropics during the Pleistocene period created a niche for early hominids, who could hunt prey as forests gave way to savannahs in the African tropics. The sudden cooling episode known as the “Younger Dryas” 13,000 years ago, which occurred just as Earth was thawing out of the last Ice Age, spurred the development of agriculture in the fertile crescent. The “Little Ice Age” cooling of the 16th-19th centuries led to famines and pestilence for much of Europe, yet it was a boon for the Dutch, who were able to take advantage of stronger winds to shorten their ocean voyages. The conditions that allowed humans to live on this earth are fragile, incredibly so. Climate variability has at times created new niches that humans or their ancestors could potentially exploit, and challenges that at times have spurred innovation. But there’s a relatively narrow envelope of climate variability within which human civilization remains viable. And our survival depends on conditions remaining within that range. In this book, renowned climate scientist Michael Mann will arm readers with the knowledge necessary to appreciate the gravity of the unfolding climate crisis, while emboldening them—and others--to act before it truly does become too late. |

| defying the laws of physics: Bringers of Order James N. Gilmore, 2025-02-04 Wearable technology, including smartwatches, biometric trackers, and body cameras, are often touted as helpful tools that record, produce, and analyze data about daily life to improve our individual habits and health or to solve serious public issues. In this book, James N. Gilmore argues that these lofty promises mask forms of surveillance and power. Charting the implementation of wearables in areas of accessibility, health, sports, labor, law enforcement, and infrastructure, Gilmore demonstrates how these devices have been positioned as authoritative means for producing knowledge about human activity. Drawing on news reporting, advertising, film and television, company reports, and legal policies, he shows how this knowledge production reproduces three distinct modes of power: normalcy, surveillance, and solutionism. Bringers of Order empowers readers to examine the complicated ways our devices reshape how we think about our lives and our ethics and why we should resist companies analyzing our personal data. |

| defying the laws of physics: High Crimes Michael Kodas, 2008-02-05 High Crimes is journalist Michael Kodas's gripping account of life on top of the world--where man is every bit as deadly as Mother Nature. In the years following the publication of Into Thin Air, much has changed on Mount Everest. Among all the books documenting the glorious adventures in mountains around the world, none details how the recent infusion of wealthy climbers is drawing crime to the highest place on the planet. The change is caused both by a tremendous boom in traffic, and a new class of parasitic and predatory adventurer. It's likely that Jon Krakauer would not recognize the camps that he visited on Mount Everest almost a decade ago. This book takes readers on a harrowing tour of the criminal underworld on the slopes of the world's most majestic mountain. High Crimes describes two major expeditions: the tragic story of Nils Antezana, a climber who died on Everest after he was abandoned by his guide; as well as the author's own story of his participation in the Connecticut Everest Expedition, guided by George Dijmarescu and his wife and climbing partner, Lhakpa Sherpa. Dijmarescu, who at first seemed well-intentioned and charming, turned increasingly hostile to his own wife, as well as to the author and the other women on the team. By the end of the expedition, the three women could not travel unaccompanied in base camp due to the threat of violence. Those that tried to stand against the violence and theft found that the worst of the intimidation had followed them home to Connecticut. Beatings, thefts, drugs, prostitution, coercion, threats, and abandonment on the highest slopes of Everest and other mountains have become the rule rather than the exception. Kodas describes many such experiences, and explores the larger issues these stories raise with thriller-like intensity. |
