The initial impetus for his research was the book series Ether-Physics and-Philosophy Volume 1-4 (German edition) by Prof Alfred Evert, last published in 2011. Using basic mathematics, he identifies false assumptions and is questioning nothing less than our common astrophysical world model. Today, it seems undisputed that our universe must contain some dark matter and that the vacuum is filled with infinite energies. Highly admired academics and despised lunatics speculate about parallel worlds and the possibility of multiple dimensions. Esotericism and science equally work with vague definitions and often wrong assumptions. As a non-academic amateur, Christian Frambs doubts were growing the more he researched the fundaments of our dominant and very rarely questioned astrophysical explanation of the world. The authors brother - an experienced Navigator and Mariner - convinced Christian Frambs to write an essay covering his thoughts, analyses, questions and alternative conclusions. Rewriting the proverb that an apple doesnt just fall far from the tree describes the spirit of his work. The key element and basis of his suggestion of another alternative world model is the good old and widely forgotten physical concept of the ether. The Key Statements of this publication: - All perceptions are illusionary projections of reality. - Only two facts are undoubted: There must be SOMETHING and MOTION. - The ether-theorem is based on just these two hypotheses: a single real substance which is vibrating in itself. - Many different movement patterns represent the phenomena, from the photon, electron and atom to the stars and galaxies. - There are no fixed particles. In analogy to sound, only the structures of MOTION are wandering forward within the ether. - Gravity only exists in the immediate vicinity of a celestial body, but its cause is not based on mass. - There are also no forces attracting the mass; the Earth, for example, drifts passively in an ether-whirlpool around the Sun. - The geostationary satellites, for example, provide clear proof, as they are contrary to the usual laws constantly dancing around. - Everything is made of ONE. This ancient wisdom/spiritual concept becomes a physical/scientific reality: The homogeneous ether fills the universe without gaps, and all phenomena are only movements within this medium. - New approaches for a more understandable and plausible world model are presented.

"I had this feeling that space was not empty but here were - its building blocks" - Space time magazineWhat are the Ingredients of space? Is space physical? Is space Empty? -This book presents the building blocks of space.This thought experimental book is a good introduction to the ingredients of space and has a lot of interesting history about the development of the theory since 1879. Its an informal introduction to a very difficult and doubtfully intelligible theory doubted even by its most ingenious contributors. The reader should expect that he/she will have to concentrate hard on what Balungi says but the rewards are significant. He is a talented physicist and a good writer. If you read it carefully and stop to think about the message as it unfolds then you will get a worthwhile if imperfect picture of what the theory is saying and how it was invented,Its buried treasure and you will have to do some digging. It is a really serious attempt to do all that can be done in an informal style. Balungi explains and re-defines Einsteins theory of general relativity, Dark matter, black holes, Dark energy, elementary particles, the accelerated expansion of the universe, and the building blocks of space-time. This wonderful and exciting book is optimal for physics graduate students and researchers. Not since James Maxwells celebrated best-seller a dynamical theory of the electromagnetic theory and Albert Einstein:Relativity: The Special and The General Theory A Popular Exposition has physics been so vividly, intelligently and entertainingly revealed. This is a First Edition to Atoms of Space.

"Wenn Licht eine konstante Geschwindigkeit hat, also vorher nie beschleunigt wurde, dann kann Licht keine Materie sein und sich daher auch nicht bewegen, geschweige denn uberhaupt eine Geschwindigkeit haben. Denn alles, was eine Geschwindigkeit hat, ist ursprunglich beschleunigt worden - dies gilt nur fur alles Materielle."

Grune Papageien sind schon seit dem klassischen Altertum in Europa bekannt. Angeblich wurden sie durch den Heereszug Alexanders aus dem exotischen Indien nach Westen gebracht.Auf der Suche nach dem Seeweg nach Indien gelangten im Zuge der Entdeckungsfahrten der portugiesischen und spanischen Seefahrer ab ca. 1450 vermehrt bislang unbekannte Papageienarten nach Europa; zuerst Graupapageien aus Westafrika, dann ab 1492 eine Vielzahl roter, gruner, gelber und blauer Papageien aus der Neuen Welt des amerikanischen Kontinents, und schlielich horte man nach 1515 noch von weien Papageien (= Kakadus) aus den fernen Gewurzinseln der Molukken. Papageien standen symbolisch fur die neu entdeckte tropische Welt in Ost und West.Umso mehr uberrascht es daher, dass auf zahlreichen westlichen Weltkarten vom 16. bis ins 18. Jahrhundert ein Papageienland, genannt Psittacorum regio auf einem hypothetischen Sudkontinent namens Terra Australis oder Magellanica, heute in etwa die Antarktis, eingezeichnet war. Die vorliegende Darstellung zeigt auf, warum es im Europa zu einem Papageienland in der Antarktis kam, um dann in groerem Detail auszufuhren, wie sich dieser kartographische Irrtum durch Matteo Riccis beruhmte Weltkarte (1602) in China, Korea und Japan ausbreitete und bis Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts gehalten hat.Das Buch ist illustriert mit zahlreichen Weltkarten, auf denen das Papageienland eingezeichnet ist, und mit einer ausfuhrlichen Bibliographie versehen. Der Leser wird auf einen kulturgeschichtlichen Streifzug durch ein relativ unbekanntes und eher unruhmliches Kapitel der Kartographie gefuhrt, um am Schluss doch noch zu erfahren, dass Papageien im kalten subantarktischen Klima existieren, die von Seefahrern gesichtet, von Kartographen und Ornithologen aber ignoriert wurden. Mit der Entdeckung der eigentlichen Antarktis und des australischen Kontinents zum Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts verschwand das Papageienland aus den Weltkarten, aber nicht die Utopie seiner Entdeckung, die heutzutage sogar von manchen Kreisen nationalistisch instrumentalisiert wird.

Il libro di Esercizi di Termodinamica Applicata presenta numerosi esercizi completamente risolti e commentati. I procedimenti di calcolo sono spiegati dettagliatamente, con richiami alla teoria di base ed alle equazioni che governano i principi della termodinamica. Gli argomenti trattati seguono i programmi dei corsi di Fisica Tecnica 1 e fanno riferimento a situazioni reali, riscontrabili nelle usuali applicazioni civili e industriali. Si e cercato quindi di evitare esercizi di argomentazione astratta, evidenziando come la termodinamica e applicata continuamente nelle attivita di ogni giorno, ad esempio nei motori endotermici delle autovetture, nei frigoriferi, negli impianti di conversione dellenergia e di climatizzazione (riscaldamento e condizionamento dellaria). Lapproccio semplice ed intuitivo ed il modestissimo ricorso a tecniche matematiche rendono il libro fruibile con facilita da parte di tutti gli studenti universitari impegnati nello studio dei corsi di Fisica Tecnica.

Derzeit sind fur Deutschland fast 14.000 Gropilzarten bekannt. Unter einem Gropilz versteht man Pilzfruchtkorper, die noch mit bloem menschlichen Auge erfassbar sind. In Niedersachsen werden derzeit 6381 Taxa aus allen taxonomischen Gruppen angefuhrt.Schwerpunktmaig befasst sich die Publikation mit der Pilzflora des Harly, einem kleinraumigen Bergzug bei Vienenburg im nordlichen Harzvorland. Sie ist vielen Naturinteressierten nahezu unbekannt, da es bisher keine Veroffentlichung zu diesem Thema gab. Diese Kenntnislucke soll nun verringert werden.Die exakte Zahl von Gropilzen im engeren Sinne ist relativ schwierig zu benennen. Die Landes-koordinatoren zur Artenerfassung in Niedersachsen, Jorg Albers und Axel Schilling (2024), fuhren bis dato (Stand 12.08.24) 5541 Taxa fur Niedersachsen an, wobei mehrere Hundert ungeklarter Namen noch unberucksichtigt bleiben mussen.Ausgehend von dieser vorlaufigen Anzahl machen die gefundenen Arten im Harly 16,66 % aus.Das Arteninventar an Gropilzen durfte im Harly jedoch noch weit hoher ausfallen.Insofern versteht sich die Veroffentlichung auch nur als vorlaufiger Zwischenstandsbericht.100 ausgewahlte, vom Autor gemalte Bildtafeln und weitere fotografisch festgehaltene Pilzarten sollen den Textteil erganzen sowie allen Naturinteressierten die wunderbare Welt der Pilze im Harly nahebringen. Wie alles ist auch diese durch Klimakrise und vielerlei lokale Einwirkungen rucklaufig und bestandsgefahrdet.
