Print: $15.87 ‘The coming revolution in physics’ is the authors latest monograph expanding his concepts and arguments about the misunderstanding and misuse of time in physics. Blankson argues that since most of us accept that the earth-year is a valid unit of time, we have to accept, also, that time is necessarily discrete, since the year is only one unit of time that has to be repeated for time to continue. Discrete time cannot march, so history is not the march of time but of events. Also discrete time cannot curve, therefore the concept of ‘curved space-time’ by which time travel is said to be a ‘scientific possibility’ is false. By discrete time, the Minkowski 4-D geometry cannot reflect physical reality; and since his equation s=ct has sunk deep into physics, the philosopher thinks physics is heading for another revolution in the very near future.

Print: $20.65 Download: FREE Paperback In 1905, when Albert Einstein introduced a new theory of time as space-time, otherwise known as ‘local time’, some philosophers considered it as (probably) his greatest discovery. The reason, evidently, is that time is more important than anything else except life itself. But what, essentially, is it? Einstein did not give us the philosophical interpretation of space-time. That is a task for the philosophers.
Samuel K. K. Blankson, the Ghanaian philosopher, gives one of the most lucid and logical interpretations of what Einstein called ‘time, pure and simple’. The strange and extremely technical phenomenon known as ‘time dilation’, which inspired Einstein to discover his special theory of relativity, is lucidly explained. The reader will find the answer simple and most surprising, and, it is hoped, satisfactory too.

Download: FREE Hardcover Print: $28.63 Scientists claim that they cannot understand Einstein’s theory of relativity without the contribution made by Hermann Minkowski which equates space to time, but the author thinks that the Minkowski theory is logically flawed and even unworthy of being mentioned in the same breath as relativity, and therefore calls it “dream physics.”
He points out that Professor Sir Arthur Eddington and Bertrand Russell described the Minkowski theory as fictitious and arbitrary. Instead, the author argues that the original Einstein’s theory of time was his greatest achievement, and shows how the ancient problems of the passage and continuity (or perpetual time) can be easily resolved.

Print: $12.01 Download: $5.04 SOFTCOVER PRINT VERSION This is a new monograph by the Ghanaian philosopher, Samuel K. K. Blankson, who gave us The Metaphysical Foundation For Physics. In less than a hundred pages, and without mathematics, he launches a blistering attack on Herman Minkowski, the foremost mathematical interpreter of Einstein's theory of Space-Time.
He explains that space-time is a philosophical concept and that mathematicians are ill-equipped to interpret it properly, and gives his own interpretation of space-time as 'relation between points'. The book is written in plain language, and aimed at the intelligent general reader. There is no doubt that if Blankson is right then mathematicians have a major problem on their hands.

UN resolution to solve the world refugee problem. The story follows a
British diplomat juggling his personal sexuality whilst on a mission to
Africa to secretly aid the Togolese government succeed with their UN
resolution. The story captures the African mentality and raises many
important issues relating to colonialism, African trade restrictions, the
African brain drain, corruption, Western Government’s manipulation of Africa
and its people, the effectiveness of the United Nations and more. This is a
novel by the Ghanaian philosopher and author of "The Einstein Theory of
Space-Time without Mathematics", Samuel K. K. Blankson.
