National Space Day 2023

Ifscapes travels into the multiverse (explored in The Bible and the Holographic Universe from a non-fiction perspective), but as the series shows, there's a lot to be said about travel into the universe!  If you haven't heard, May 5, 2023 is National Space Day.

Some fast facts about space:

- "outer space" popularly begins at the the Kármán line, about 62 miles above the surface of Earth.

- space is a deep vacuum, but not a perfect one.

 - if two pieces of one type of metal touch each other in space, the two pieces stick together in a process called cold welding.

- the first spacewalks occurred in 1965.

- it takes Jupiter almost 12 years to orbit the sun.

- 25 of Uranus's 27 moons are named after characters from William Shakespeare's works.

- Voyager I was launched in 1977 and crossed into interstellar space in 2012.

- Alpha Centauri is the star system nearest to us.

- the first cat to fly in space was the French feline Félicette (1963).

- Lucian of Samosata (second century A.D.) wrote about a space battle in his True History.

Book Announcement: Perennials of Paradox

Announcing the release of Ifscapes, Volume 6: Perennials of Paradox!

Now available on Amazon Kindle:

"In a multiverse filled with universes, there’s plenty of space and outer space for multiples, contingents, and alternates. Where does alter ego meet alternate ego? How many repeated extraterrestrial invasions does it take to stir Earth’s defenses to action? Can a man full of life really investigate his own murder? The latest Ifscapes installment, Perennials of Paradox explores these questions over and over in a brand-new collection of science fiction and fantasy short stories."

Merry Christmas!

Book Announcement: Sidewise Musings

Announcing Sideways Musings, volume 5 in the Ifscapes series — now available on Amazon Kindle!

From the book description:

"How many Mercurians does it take to change a light-bulb in a far-away citadel of lights? What really caused the literal downfall of Atlantis? Does a meeting of artificial intelligence and asteroids really equal a new empire? Ifscapes teases these questions and more as the series travels underground, upside-down, sidewise, and otherwise in the latest collection of meta-myth science fiction and fantasy short stories. . . .

Inverted and retroverted worlds meet with remote non-human resources, chronological catastrophes, fantastic islands, and robotic antagonists in just a few worldscapes, timescapes, and landscapes of If. Is it when in Rome that you do as the Pallentinians do, or was that in Babylon, or even in Troy? Are the enemies at Thebes’ gates or in the palace halls? Which came first, Socrates or the dialogue? Volume Five in the multiverse of Ifscapes, Sidewise Musings ponders the boundaries and puzzles the pundits with a whole new array of meta-myth manuscript discoveries, athwart adventures, and oblique obstacles of space and time."

More Endorsements for The Bible and the Holographic Universe

 “This book is a life changer! The reality we think we are living in is not the primary world but a holographic image or a simulated reality. Ultimate reality is in the next life, and only what we have done for the glory of God will count when we step into eternity. If you are intentional about living a life of value, I highly recommend reading this book.”
—Aletha Hinthorn, founder, Women Alive

“Cynthia Polsley adds layers of dimensionality to what it means to develop an eternal perspective. She nails it: ‘It turns out that the reality we think we are living in is not the primary world.’ I loved her insight and ability to not only think outside the box but articulate how to get there.”
—Sue Bohlin, associate writer and speaker, Probe Ministries 

Press Kit available upon request.

The Bible and the Holographic Universe: Now Available on Kindle

Book Endorsements Include:
 
“This book is a breath of fresh air in a world often confused. Cynthia shows herself a master at presenting a missional contextualization of the message of the Bible. In our current world of the metaverse, the multiverse, the matrix, quantum mechanics, artificial intelligence, and the desire of many for trans- and post-humanism, this book uses modern parlance to share eternal truths. Highly recommended!”
—Mondo Gonzales, cohost, Prophecy Watchers Ministries
 
“Bringing together philosophy, theology, Scripture, and recent thought regarding a holographic understanding of the universe, Polsley explores our Matrix-like existence, synthesizing Einsteinian science and evangelical belief. Whether agreeing with her conclusions or not, one is left with a deeper grasp of the ephemeral and transient nature of the created order, pointing to a future reality that transcends what we now experience.”
—Paul V. Harrison, pastor, Madison Free Will Baptist Church
