Product Description

Synopsis
Learn how a world-class inventor-scientist is currently tackling the greatest scientific mysteries of the universe -- and succeeding. With his new book, Drexler provides a viable baseline to jump-start debate on a standard model for postmodern cosmology. It is the first book to not only address these seven unsolved cosmic mysteries, shown in this book's subtitle, but also offer plausible explanations for each of them. The correlation of these seven cosmic phenomena by Drexler offers a revolutionary advance in cosmological research and potentially broad acceptance and use of the related concepts. This book was written for open-minded cosmologists, astronomers, astrophysicists, physicists, engineers, students, enthusiasts and those at NASA, NSF, DOE and ESO who want to understand postmodern cosmology. The author's five years of cosmology research, and his successes, convinced him that his postmodern cosmology model is correctly based upon the relationships and linkages of these seven cosmic phenomena.

1.0 out of 5 stars Postmodern Cosmology, 3 Feb 2009
By P. Cave (Hampshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The two other (5 star) reviews for this book were so positive that I decided to buy it myself. However, after buying the book and reading it for myself, I can't believe that those 5 star reviews are genuine. They are both written in the same self-indulgent style that the author uses in this terrible book, which makes me wonder if he wrote the reviews himself.
This is not a book attempting to explain anything about cosmology, it is merely a giant back-slapping exercise by the author about how he's (supposedly) managed to achieve what thousands of other physicists have failed to do for many years. This is a guy with no scientific background, who has come up with a concept (which handily isn't actually explained in the book) and how he's attempted to get some exposure for himself.
The book describes nothing, the book explains nothing. It's a meandering collection of the author's own internet newswire releases (many of which contain identical sentences/paragraphs) with no details, just a load of waffle about not very much.
Please, do not waste your money on this utterly pointless book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Coherent and Compelling Arguments, 21 Feb 2009
By Frederic N. (SF Bay Area) - See all my reviews
Discovering challenges to conventional wisdom is always interesting and especially so when the challenge is as compelling and well-reasoned as in this book. Jerome Drexler presents a plausible theory as to the composition of the dark matter that represents a high percentage of the mass of the universe but whose makeup mystifies cosmologists. Drexler posits that this dark matter consists of relativistic protons, which he believes are capable of forming galaxies, dark matter, the cosmic web, and newborn stars. Throughout the book, he repeatedly demonstrates how conventional cosmology is frequently at odds with actual astronomical observations and even with the laws of physics. Drexler's Postmodern Cosmology model presents a coherent theory that solves a number of cosmological "mysteries," including the nature of the Big Bang.

5.0 out of 5 stars Post-Modern Cosmology Has Arrived!, 28 May 2008
By Sy F. Robbins "SetauketScientist" (Setauket, NY USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A must read for anyone interested in straightforward, logical solutions to some of cosmology's most significant unsolved problems. This book highlights all of Drexler's work to date, particularly his relativistic-baryon dark matter hypothesis; it also establishes his primacy on the concept of a Relativistic Big Bang that satisfies the second law of thermodynamics. It is now incumbent on the scientific community to accept the plausibility of Drexler's theories, and to find additional supporting observational evidence (e.g., the UV signatures of Lyman-alpha blobs), or to refute them based on such evidence.
