Product Description
Learn how a world-class inventor-scientist is currently tackling the greatest scientific mysteries of the universe -- and succeeding. With his new book, Drexler provides a viable baseline to jump-start debate on a standard model for postmodern cosmology. It is the first book to not only address these seven unsolved cosmic mysteries, shown in this book's subtitle, but also offer plausible explanations for each of them. The correlation of these seven cosmic phenomena by Drexler offers a revolutionary advance in cosmological research and potentially broad acceptance and use of the related concepts. This book was written for open-minded cosmologists, astronomers, astrophysicists, physicists, engineers, students, enthusiasts and those at NASA, NSF, DOE and ESO who want to understand postmodern cosmology. The author's five years of cosmology research, and his successes, convinced him that his postmodern cosmology model is correctly based upon the relationships and linkages of these seven cosmic phenomena. |

Coherent and compelling 
Discovering challenges to conventional wisdom is always interesting and especially so when the challenge is as compelling and well-reasoned as in this book. Jerome Drexler presents a plausible theory as to the composition of the dark matter that represents a high percentage of the mass of the universe but whose makeup mystifies cosmologists. Drexler posits that this dark matter consists of relativistic protons, which he believes are capable of forming galaxies, dark matter, the cosmic web, and newborn stars. Throughout the book, he repeatedly demonstrates how conventional cosmology is frequently at odds with actual astronomical observations and even with the laws of physics. Drexler's Postmodern Cosmology model presents a coherent theory that solves a number of cosmological "mysteries," including the nature of the Big Bang.

Good Book on Dark Matter
This book is one of the most current Dark Matter books available. Its a very nice read and liked the author's approach and its a unique approach. This book is clear logical deductive problem solving in its purest sense. He pieces together current cosmological evidence like a detective story and draws some unique conclusions. I would recommend this book!

A Self-Consistent Theory for Cosmology and Dark Matter
This very interesting book presents in historical fashion the material of the various books and papers written previously by the author on the subject, and explains how his theory answers a great many questions of astronomy and cosmology, plus makes predictions as to how the theory can be verified. Instead of trying to explain why no one has yet been able to find the so-called Cold Dark Matter, it seems to me that astronomers and cosmologists should consider this self-consistent theory based on hard physical principles as a viable alternative, and look for the predicted signs that it is or could be correct.

Intriguing non-standard cosmological model
Drexler presents a conceptually coherent and logically appealing model for the mechanics underlying the large scale structure of the universe. As his theory departs dramatically from the current Standard Cosmological Model, it will certainly attract vociferous criticism. Yet ongoing reports of newly observed and measured astronomical phenomena seem to be, more often than not, congruent with Drexler's Halo theory for dark matter and dark energy. Until his hypotheses are definitively falsified, the fact that some of the phenomena required by Drexler's theory have not yet been observed is no more troubling than the current non-observation of WIMPs, neutralinos, or MACHOs. Altogether, this book presents an intriguing rationalization for the many mysteries currently unexplained by the Standard Cosmological Model.

Drexler's nonsense 
As someone with a PhD in physics I can assure you that Drexler's ideas about dark matter and cosmology are wrong, inconsistent with experimental results and are not worth reading. His relativistic protons cannot be the dark matter. Dark matter does not emit or absorb measurable amounts of electromagnetic radiation while protons do; they would have been discovered long ago. Also the basic physics Drexler tries to use in his theories is incorrect. He obviously does not have the science or math background to calculate the consequences of his ideas and so seems to rely on wishful thinking. I happen to know that real scientists have explained to him both the physical inconsistencies of his theories and why, even if the physics was correct, many different experiments would rule them out. However, like many pseudo-science true-believers, Drexler refuses to listen and clings to his obviously wrong ideas. He also distorts actual scientific results to try to bolster his case. Drexler may be able to fool some lay people with no astrophysics background, but the few actual astrophysicists that have taken the time to look at his ideas all dismiss them as gibberish. Don't waste you time with this useless book.
