- (1888PressRelease) July 09, 2016 - "Ultimum Mysterium" by Anthony Burns is published by John Hunt Publishing, About the Book: How does "Ultimum Mysterium" explain mysterious phenomena?
In Section I: The Puzzle, the author sets out and examines a number of reportedly true cases of such activity, both from history and from more recent times, which are so bizarre that even current scientific theories are unable to offer an explanation.
In Section II: The Physics, the author reviews the latest scientific discoveries (mainly in physics, but also in neurological research) with a view to seeing whether these can offer any kind of explanation to the strange phenomena described in Section I.
In Section III: The Philosophy, the author examines the underlying philosophical issues to see what may be possible in terms of a scientific explanation. He argues the universe is what it is, regardless of what we may think about its workings. If the impossible happens, so be it. We need keep an open mind and embrace the bizarre, but fascinating world of the impossible.
About the Author:
Anthony Burns is a retired Physics teacher living in Banbury, Oxfordshire, UK. He has taught college students in Oxford and is keenly interested in astronomy and unexplained phenomena.
Excerpt from the Book:
"Impossible things happen. They ought not to, but they do. We like to think that we live in a stable, well-ordered universe whose laws we are able to discover and understand. And, for the most part, this is true. But time and again, people from all over the world and from all walks of life have reported strange events - apparent glitches in reality - which simply 'ought not' to happen. Such phenomena seemingly contradict the laws of physics and common sense. Nevertheless, events like this do happen. If only one person reports an anomaly in the workings of things, we may say that the person is deluded, fantasizing, even hallucinating, and it is common to take this view. However, if several people observe the same anomaly (or a similar one), we may take this as an indication that our preconceptions about the workings of nature are almost certainly wrong, and that we need to reconsider our theories on how the universe works.
Many centuries ago, we knew very little about the workings of nature. We thought that the surface of the earth was flat and that 'up' was the same direction everywhere. Also, in our ignorance, we thought that thunderstorms, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and eclipses of the sun and moon were all the work of angry gods who needed to be appeased through ritual and sacrifice. We now know better than this, of course. There are no 'angry gods' out there. The earth is a rocky sphere orbiting the sun, and earthquakes, eclipses and the like are simply part of the normal workings of nature. Even now, however, many of us find it rather unsettling to think that there are stars directly beneath the earth as well as above it, if we think about it."
