Press Release for The Unobservable Universe

Scientist Debunks Universe’s Mysteries and Reveals a Brilliant New Paradigm in Groundbreaking Cosmology Book

Award-winning technologist Scott M. Tyson shakes the foundation of Western philosophical thought and scientific doctrine with The Unobservable Universe
Albuquerque, NM (May 11, 2011) – Visionary scientist and innovative researcher Scott M. Tyson debuts into the publishing world with the release of his earth-shattering book, The Unobservable Universe. Tyson introduces bold, new cosmological theories that are sure to stir controversy and initiate intense dialogue throughout the science community.

The Unobservable Universe takes readers on an exciting 2,500-year journey through which they can comprehend all the phenomena in the universe. This enlightening and entertaining book unravels the mysteries with which humanity has been grappling for millennia; offers insight into the past, present, and future of the universe; and outlines a solid basis for future cosmological research in a passionate page-turner that never loses its readers or its credibility.
Tyson’s provocatively compelling theories − supported by scientific evidence, real-life anecdotes, down-to-earth humor and a contagious passion for his subject − translate quantum physics into a comprehensible framework for all cosmology readers to examine, explore and contemplate, propelling them toward a new paradigm of greater awareness and understanding of the universe, and revealing the underlying Theory of Everything.

Written in a lively, upbeat and conversational approach that engages readers in thought experiments as the author slays paradoxes, The Unobservable Universe effectively illustrates the meaning of perceptions in a way that will fundamentally change how readers view themselves and their world. The eBook version is available online at www.theunobservableuniverse.com, as well as Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, Borders.com, and numerous other sales channels.

I’ve got an exciting announcement to make… (finally!)

It’s been quite the book project, but the wait is about to end! Various editions of The Unobservable Universe will begin releasing as soon as this weekend!

The release of the book culminates a very long multidisciplinary project. The breakdown looks like this:

· 34 years of study, research, thought experiments, and sleepless nights;

· 4 weeks of writing (after 34 years the book was largely composed in my mind and waiting to be expressed!);

· 6 months of rewriting, editing, artwork development, and formatting. The manuscript was also reviewed by scientific peers and general readers, and their comments were used to further refine the manuscript. Some of those reviews appear on the book’s cover.

I just received my proof copy of the paperback edition this week, and I’m really pleased with it. A few final refinements are being made right now to the production version before it releases in May.

Needless to say, the first release will be the FREE PDF eBook for those who have “LIKED” the Facebook page. I really appreciate your patience and I want to show my gratitude by getting the book into your hands first!

Here’s the expected release schedule:

· On or before May 1 - FREE PDF eBook for Facebook fans. Once I post the coupon code to the Facebook page, remember to enter it at checkout to make certain that you get the eBook for absolutely FREE. Please keep in mind that only a limited quantity of 1,000 PDF eBooks are being given away, so check your copy out early! This affordable edition of the eBook will remain available for only $4.99 (only on the book’s Web site) after the FREE copies are distributed.

· On or before May 8The remaining eBook editions: EPUB, MOBI, Kindle, rPDF. List price: $19.99

· On or before May 15The full, unabridged MP3 audio book edition. I narrated the book myself, with the help of other voice talent (my wife, Janna, and my step-daughter, Tauby), and I expect the recording to be about 14 hours in length. (Let me know if you think I still have a strong New York accent or if living in the southwestern region of the country for the past 20 years has tempered it a bit.) List price: $29.99

· On or before May 22The trade paperback edition. Final page count is 330. List price $24.99

The various versions of the book will be sold through a wide variety of distribution channels, including Amazon.com, Barnesandnoble.com, and Borders.com, as well as through the book’s Web site at www.theunobservableuniverse.com. (Autographed copies will only be available through the book’s Web site.)

SPECIAL PRE-ORDER PRICING: Special pre-order pricing of only $12.49 for any edition will remain in effect until the release of the paperback. No matter what, the special pre-order pricing will remain in effect at least through May 14. After the pre-order pricing ends, each edition of the book will be available at a discounted price.

You will soon be able to read the book and find out for yourself why I feel so confident that researchers at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN have not discovered the Higgs boson, as some rumors had speculated this past week. (The Higgs boson is the mythical particle that theoretical physicists and mathematicians speculate as the foundation for the property of matter called "mass." Interestingly, many scientists have chosen to refer to the Higgs boson as the “God” particle, which seems somewhat ironic to me and only serves to further obscure, at least in mind, the increasingly subtle differences between scientific doctrine and religious dogma.)

Future blog articles will now begin to focus on important issues and insights relating to the origin, nature, and evolution of our universe, as well as the relationship between each living entity and the incredible world that surrounds it. Please invite your friends and colleagues to follow my Blog.

Don’t be shy! I look forward to receiving your comments and questions! Please feel free to share your thoughts and experiences as you read the book either on my Blog (scottmtyson.blogspot.com) or through the “Contact Me” page on the book’s Web site. Post your reviews of the book on my Blog and portions of them might be selected to be included in the next revision of the book!

You are each welcome to attend the official book release party in Albuquerque on May 15 where you will be able to get an autographed copy of the paperback edition! Click on the “Events” tab on the book’s Facebook page to get all the details.

And finally, begin considering the possibility that you might soon acquire a very different perspective of your world!

Thank you for your continuing interest and support!
