Electronic Eng. and IT analyst, with interests in physics, astronomy, IT.
I recomend the reading of the online book, written by my friend Alfredo Gouveia de Oliveira
http://outrafisica.blogs.sapo.pt
With help of a dialog between 4 characters, and using only standard physics, the author presents an alternative view of the History of the Universe.
In order to be fully appreciated it should be read in chronological order (I'm used to google chrome browser and google reader).
Another reading that I share here is the book of Douglas Pinnow 'The Resonant Universe'. It is a monography of a model of particles that has only one parameter ('me'-electron mass) and derives the particle properties to within 1% of their values (barion masses well bellow 1%) and does not suffer of the barionic 'spin crises'.
papers of my friend Alfredo in the arxiv:
- Cosmological Principle and Relativity - Part I (arxiv physics
0205033)
- A relativistic time variation of matter/space fits both local and
cosmic data (arxiv astro-ph
0208365)
None of theese suggested readings has been comented or criticized until now.
