At once touching and shattering, Celehar’s witnessing for one of these girls will lead him into the depths of his own losses. The love of his friends will lead him out again.

A SIMPLE TALE OF SUBATOMIC PARTICLE METAPHYSICS In the summer of 2008, a long awaited scientific experiment was started at the CERN particle accelerator near Geneva. The experiment involved the high-speed collision of subatomic particles and the objective was to prove the existence of the Higgs boson, more commonly known as 'The God Particle'. To the great disappointment of the worldwide scientific community and the relief of many people who were concerned that this experiment might trigger a reaction that would destroy our planet, a technical hitch caused the experiment to be abandoned at ...

What If Everything in the Universe Was Made of Just One Thread? What If Einstein Got It Wrong? This Theory Challenges the Big Bang — and Everything That Follows. The Threads and Luxidoni Light Theory explained in plain English without math, jargon, or paradoxes, offers a radical new way to understand the universe.What if: Light isn't a wave or a particle, but spinning Luxidoni on a straight thread? Gravity isn't curved space, but rising thread tension? Black holes are not holes, but regions where energy stops spinning—so light vanishes? And what if no two protons or neutrons are ...
