Publisher's Synopsis
This book could have been billed a lot of different ways:
- A fundamental breakthrough in theoretical physics
- A complete guide to a new technology that will touch off a second Industrial Revolution, open the space frontier and transform terrestrial transportation into something out of a sci-fi film
- A scientifically verifiable solution to the riddle of UFO propulsion and the crop-circle mystery
All of the above are true, but none touches on its most important theme: A radical yet painless solution to global warming, one that will be as attractive to the petrochemical and automotive industries as it is to entrepreneurs and venture capitalists.
More than idle speculation, the book offers a paradigm shift, a recipe for radical change that will augur for peace, not war. The key to this transformation is the technology of gravity control. The tragedy is that it has been hiding in plain sight for more than thirty-five years, during which time global warming has grown from a smoldering ember to an open conflagration with only a bucket-brigade trying to put it out. This book is a last-ditch effort to bring the technology online in time to avert environmental catastrophe and, yes, save the planet.
The genius behind gravity control, the book asserts, was Dr. Frederick Alzofon (1919-2012) - a student of J.R. Oppenheimer, relativity expert Victor Lenzen, and mathematics guru Griffith C. Evans at Cal Berkeley in the '40s and '50s. As an acknowledged world-class authority on optics and heat conduction, an aerospace scientist with a distinguished thirty-year career, and the author of over forty papers and two books on advanced topics in mathematical physics, he was fully qualified to make such a discovery.
Using unpublished papers and recorded dialogs with his father, editor and commentator David Alzofon presents gravity control in simple terms accessible to most readers, even if they lack a scientific background. As he puts it, "If you can understand a microwave oven, you can understand a flying saucer." There is plenty inside for the professional physicist or electrical engineer to ponder as well, including details of experiments conducted in 1994 at a university in the Pacific Northwest that validated the technology and the theoretical model behind it.
UFOs enter the story, not as the central focus, but as evidence that the technology is already in operation. If you are tired of UFO mysteries and want real answers instead, look no further. Riddles solved include what makes a "flying saucer" the design of choice, how they make right-angle turns at incredible speed without killing the occupants, and how they execute soundless, bat-out-of-hell takeoffs into space at will. Also covered, crop-circle formation: how "the visitors" do it and why (and how we can, too, incidentally).
In a Eureka! answer to a skeptical question posed by Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson, you will find out how to model alien technology in your bathtub, and if you are a physicist or an electrical engineer, you will find more than enough specifics to replicate the technology in the lab.
Don't let the humorous title fool you: This is a serious book about a serious subject that concerns all of us: survival..
Certain to be controversial, the book throws down the gauntlet before science and industry, asking "Which will you choose - doomsday or the stars?"
If the choice is to ignore the challenge, that's quite all right, because any lone-wolf electrical engineer can, with the help of this book, pick up that gauntlet and run with it - into a future beyond imagination.
