The combination of the shoot down of the U-2 over Russia in 1960, Russia’s moving into Cuba, and the war in Vietnam placed a heavy load on the Central Intelligence Agency to develop a replacement spy plane, unlike anything the world had ever seen before. The CIA reestablishes its station at Area 51 under the CIA’s new Directorate of Science and Technology where it develops America’s first stealth plane, the A-12 Archangel. Designed with slide-rule technology, the CIA produces what is still today the fastest and highest flying manned air-breathing aircraft ever. The A-12 plane spends ...

Despite many technological and bureaucratic hurdles, the CIA, in eight months from contract to flying, and under budget, produces the revolutionary U-2 spy plane. A few months later, the CIA is overflying the Communist Soviet Union to disprove the feared bomber and missile gap between the two superpowers. The struggle ...

On September 11, 1999, humanity made a monumental discovery in the vastness of space. Scientists uncovered an asteroid of immense scientific importance—a colossal celestial entity. As massive as an aircraft carrier and towering as high as the iconic Empire State Building, this cosmic titan was later named Bennu. Remarkable for much more than its size, Bennu belonged to a rare breed of asteroids capable of revealing the essence of life itself. But just as Bennu became a beacon of promise, researchers identified a grave danger.

The Outsider Model Presented in a manner accessible to the general audience, the Outsider Model brings together philosophy, cosmology, and theology to produce a way of understanding life as a spiritual human being in the physical universe. There are two basic premises of this model. The first is that human life is not only physical; it requires a metaphysical contribution, such as a spirit or a soul. As our model considers human life to be part physical and part metaphysical, we see life from a new perspective. The contributions of the physical and metaphysical may be separated. We regard ...

Albert Einstein said, “Reality is an illusion, albeit a persistent one.” Bestselling author Stephen Hawley Martin agrees, and adds, “It’s actually an illusion in more ways than Einstein thought or imagined.” Many think a great awakening to what Einstein knew and Martin has uncovered will occur in 2024, but will it? Political and media forces are at work in an effort to keep humanity in the dark and themselves in power. Martin’s goal is for them to fail and for the public to awaken to an astonishing truth that will set them free. That’s why he’s written what he refers to as a...

Set in a revolutionary era of physics and science when a series of rapid-fire discoveries was upending our understanding of the universe, Splinters of Infinity by Mark Wolverton tells a little-known story: the tale of two of America's foremost physicists, Robert Millikan (1868-1953) and Arthur Compton (1892-1962), who found themselves locked in an intense, often deeply personal, conflict about cosmic rays.
