IN 100 WORDS OR LESS... -- by Steve Nadis

Yesterday Gatemouth pointed out that 5518 words are not all that much and I agree. Yet a person can say a lot in 100 words or less, especially if those words are shrewdly chosen, as you shall see in our new feature named “IN 100 WORDS OR LESS...” The first entry is a book review, or shall I say mini-book review. Here it is; please count along with me to make sure I do not overstay my 100-word welcome:
 
It came without notice, turning my universe upside down--a new book from “Career Engineering-Physicist” Bobby McGehee, “NEW UNIVERSE THEORY WITH THE LAWS OF PHYSICS” (authorhouse, 2005).  According to the author (who hails from an Arizona retirement community), the New Universe Theory (NUT) agrees with the "Laws of Physics," at least as he defines them, whereas the Big Bang Theory, in his estimation, was never compliant. Anyone worrying about the universe’s fate, as I often do, will find comfort in McGehee’s conclusion: "The universe is not expanding to its death: It is continuing to grow with vim, vigor, and vitality."

2 - True to your word, they're 100. Bravo.
McGehee's conclusion is indeed comforting. Does that apply to planet Earth also or is there a special doomsday appendix? (Comment this)

3 - There are 8 appendices, FW, though none exactly on the subject you suggest. Thanks Z--that's the spirit! (Comment this)
