This is one of the 13 short stories in the author's Echoes of the Mind's Eye collection (C) 2021. It has also appeared in otehr collections since 2011. This short story poses a novel theory as to the role of black holes in both the creation and destruction of an endless number of universes that coexist in an incomprehensibly complex multiverse. It is a cautionary tale about the arrogance of scientists who are the cosmic equivalent of amoebas attempting to discern the secrets of the universe by thoroughly examining within the limits of their perception the drop of pond scum they inhabit. It ...

Usamos la palabra "amor" como si supiéramos íntimamente su definición. Después de todo, todos amamos a muchas personal y algunas otras cosas que preciamos mediante nuestras vidas de muchas diferentes maneras. Amamos a nuestros padres, a nuestros familiares y amigos, y hasta nuestras mascotas, coches, y (los que tenemos esa dicha) a nuestro trabajo o profesión. ¿Pero quien entre nosotros puede definir claramente lo que es un amor perfecto o el fulminante efecto transformativa que puede otorgarle a quien lo encuentra? Quien puede decir que amaran toda una vida con la misma intensidad a ...

This book contains two contemporary fiction short stories. Modern Art and the Critics examines the reliability of expert opinions as regards modern art which can often tell us a great deal more about the critics rather than the intrinsic value of the object of their critiques. Redemption, the second short story in this ebook, concerns the unexpected life-altering experience of a self-absorbed, highly successful young executive in a brief encounter with the paranormal at a friend's birthday party.

¿Qué precio pagarías por volver a una encrucijada en tu vida cuando cometiste un error terrible que te cambió la vida? ¿Renunciarías a una vida no satisfecha por la posibilidad de conseguir la felicidad virtual en una realidad alternativa generada por computadora? ¿Sacrificarías todo si pudieras alcanzar el conocimiento absoluto? Si es así, ¿podrías vivir con el conocimiento que obtuviste? Se dice que ninguna persona es una isla, pero ¿qué pasa si incluso el ser menos preciado entre nosotros es un dios por derecho propio? Si un visitante extranjero te ofreciera una vida repleta...

We use the word "love" freely as though we were intimately familiar with its meaning. After all, we all love many people and many other things throughout our lives in a variety of ways. We love our parents, our families, our friends, our pets, our cars and, those of us fortunate enough to do so, our careers and jobs. Yet who among us can clearly define what constitutes a perfect love or the transformative power it can have over those fortunate enough to encounter it? And who can honestly say they will love their significant other throughout their a lifetime with the same intensity of a new ...

Amazon description: Human beings are not the only intelligent life forms on Earth and possibly not the most intelligent. Efforts at communicating with marine mammals such as whales and dolphins whose brains are larger than our own have had very limited success to date, less so than the success we've enjoyed in teaching some gorillas and chimpanzees to communicate using sign language although their brains ...

This collection of poems presents a unique perspective on enduring themes--love, existentialism, the darker side of life in an urban environment, loneliness, quiet heroism and the transcendent power of poetry to rebuild weary souls and teach lessons we may not want to learn.
