Black Marbles: Why Our Universe Is What It Is Paperback -

Thomas V. Moore has had a life-long interest in physics and cosmology. To satisfy his interest, he has had to rely on popular explanations, due to his rudimentary mathematical ability. Over the years, he became discontented with many of the features of standard cosmological models that seemed to be implied by purely mathematical analysis. Being thus excluded from inside-the-box methodology, he was forced outside the box, and began to ponder explanations of a more simple and direct nature. Invoking a third type of universal state in the form of Black Matter seemed to provide answers to many questions, while leaving the bulk of work in the field entirely intact. This work has been done by scholars who are made of ordinary matter, and pertains exclusively to ordinary matter and energy. Their work has been brilliant and valid. Black Marble Theory merely provides a framework that encompasses this work, and addresses many of its most persistent mysteries. Mr. Moore enjoyed a long career with IBM, working with early big box computers, and eventually doing pioneering work in the field of interactive media. He authored the book Managing Interactive Video Projects with his colleague Dr. R. E. Bergman. Thomas is retired, and lives with his wife Judy in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
