FRACTAL TIME: THE SECRET OF 2012 AND A NEW WORLD AGE By Gregg Braden


Many ancient traditions viewed ‘time’ as the great ripples of a galactic wave that ebbs and flows as it travels throughout the universe. Late 20th century discoveries revealed that even the most complex things in nature are really simple patterns–fractals –that repeat themselves in


predictable ways. Applying the new ‘laws’ of fractals to the ancient concept of the waves of time. Visionary scientist and bestselling author Gregg Braden proposes that everything, from the way we age to the wars between nations, is simply the returning waves of our past, with each one carrying a more powerful, amplified version of the one that came before it. Discover the great secret of our moment in history, and what we can expect as the


5000-year-cycle of the ancient Mayan calendar ends in 2012.


Fact: December 21st of the year 2012 signals the end of a long and mysterious cycle of time—a Great World Age that began 5,125 years ago.


Fact: With the 2012 Winter solstice, Earth enters into a rare celestial alignment creating forces that have not been experienced since the last such alignment 25,625 years ago.


Fact: The end of such cycles in the past have heralded a time of dramatic change on Earth, as well as opportunity for those living on Earth— changes remembered in ancient traditions and now confirmed in the scientific record.


What does 2012 mean for us today? History shows that World Age cycles of the past have triggered cataclysmic shifts in the earth that have altered entire civilizations. Today, the predictions for 2012 and what follows, range from an era of chaos and destruction to a thousand of years of peace and cooperation. What can we really expect from such a rare moment in time?


New discoveries suggest that the message of the ancient timekeepers, merged with the best science of today, holds the answer to the mystery and the key to our future.


The Bottom Line: If you know where you are in a cycle, then you know what to expect when it repeats! ISBN: 978-1848500754 Price: £10.99


THE GRAND DESIGN


By Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow


When and how did the universe begin? Why are we here? What is the nature of reality? Is the apparent ‘grand design’ of our universe evidence for a benevolent creator who set things in motion? Or does science offer another explanation? In The Grand Design, the


most recent scientific thinking about the mysteries of the universe is presented in language marked by both brilliance and simplicity. In the The Grand

Design, Hawking and Mlodinow explain the latest concepts of model-dependent realism (the idea that there can be no single version of reality) and the multiverse concept of reality, in which there are an infinite number of universes. They present original ideas about the top-down theory of cosmology (the idea that there is no one history of the universe, but that every possible history exists). They concludes with a riveting assessment of M-theory, and discuss whether it is the unified theory Einstein spent a lifetime searching for. This is the first major work in nearly a decade by Hawking, who is one of the world’s greatest thinkers. Overall this book is succinct, startling and lavishly illustrated guide to discoveries that are altering our understanding of the universe abd perhaps even threatening some of our most cherished belief systems, The Grand Design is a book that will inform–and provoke–like few other books do.
