Synopsis
Glimpses of Reality provides for the layman reader the opportunity to take a startling journey through parts of the universe to help examine the issues concerning the nature and roots of cosmology, as we presently perceive them.

Fundamental concepts of the infinite and infinitesimal realms of reality are addressed in relation to the macrocosmic and microcosmic worlds through very basic applications of mathematics, classical and modern physics, astronomy, biology and philosophy. Quantum theory is used to explore certain aspects of thought and consciousness, as we try to understand how our mind operates on the level of cosmic consciousness.

Existing concepts concerning black holes and parallel universes are introduced to help explain extremely short quantum thought processes. These concepts are coupled with the respective quantum wave distributions, as theorized by some neuroscientists.

Glimpses of Reality is geared for high school and college students and for those who are creative in thought, and wish to learn more about the microcosmic and macrocosmic aspects of reality.

From The Book
Have you ever wondered as a child or for that matter at anytime during your life, just how little is little and how big is big, and how these concepts could be related?

In fact, isn't it awe inspiring to peer out into the universe and see the celestial objects, whether through a telescope or with the unaided eye, as they were rather than what they are.

Most amazing, is to know that electromagnetic energy, emitted or reflected by celestial objects, has the property of traveling at the unvarying velocity of 186, 000 miles per second...Using some basic calculations, according to the laws of motion, by the time you finish reading this page you will have covered a distance of over some 6900 miles.

The otherwise stable ground beneath your feet is actually hurtling through space at a colossal speed in many different directions...
