Focused Review & Study - Topic #1

What's the purpose of the new category
The parent category's goal is to present forums, from time-to-time, that are focused on a specific book, theory, lecture, and other areas of work that seem credible, have substance, and are worthy of discussion. The author of such works will be invited to participate in these discussions. The material will be available for review and study by ToeQuest members to gain new knowledge, insight, and to draw on the author and other members for key insights. Books may occasionally need to be purchased and ToeQuest will attempt to obtain discounts for ToeQuest members.

What's this Forum About
I have come across some information that I think will make a great first "Review & Study" forum. The material is the basis for a new book to be released in 2006 by Alexander Franklin Mayer. The book is titled, "The Many Directions of Time". The study material is based on a single underlying idea: that time is not a single dimension of spacetime but rather a local geometric distinction in spacetime. The material for study consists of the following:

1. Alexander Franklin Mayer's Website.
   
2. An Introduction - 17 PowerPoint slides that introduce the larger body of work.
3. Lecture 1 - "A Correction to the Gravitational Model".
4. Lecture 2 - "The Many Directions of Time - Solving the Cosmology Puzzle".
5. A selection of review comments on the Lectures.
   
6. Energy Paper.
   

Posting Guidelines
All discussions should be related to the study material. When you start a thread you may make general comments about the material but if you go into specifics you must include a reference so others can refer to the material. A reference can be something like this: "A Simple Experiment", Lecture 1, Page 45. and should appear near the top of your starting post. If you post to a thread, try and keep the discussion on the original topic. If the topic relates to another area of the lectures that you wish to discuss, you can state what the relationship is and provide a link to a new thread that you initiate on the related topic.
