The Superluminal Universe reveals, for the first time in English, the incredible insights of French quantum physicist Professor Regis Dutheil. Thanks to the development of particle accelerators, physicists are now able to propel particles (tachyons) at a speed close to that of light (300,000 km per second). At these extreme speeds, the laws that govern our universe no longer apply. Professor Dutheil's work has shown that the theory of relativity is not incompatible with that of tachyons, provided that we allow for the possibility of a double reality.

Zetetic Astronomy is the magnum opus of Samuel Rowbotham (1816-1884), a self-taught polymath, debater, faith healer, and early advocate of Utopian socialism. Drawing from a wide variety of contemporary sources, Christian scripture, and his own investigative and experimental skills, Rowbotham advocated tirelessly for his thesis that the true shape of the Earth was a plane, refuting all suggestions of rotundity. His arguments continue to captivate, persuade, and entertain up to the present day.

How Big Is the Universe? is a poetic journey through space, time, and consciousness. Using Earthly metaphors—a tennis ball for the observable universe and Pluto for the actual one—it translates cosmic immensity into human scale. The book traces humanity’s expanding awareness: from believing Earth was the center to discovering trillions of galaxies held together by unseen forces of dark matter and dark energy. It explores the search for life, the fine-tuning of physical laws, and the idea that consciousness may be the universe knowing itself.
