What is time ?

The universe reveals a network of structures, which embeds self-similar structures at smaller and smaller scales in a cascading manner. Objects form, decay and regenerate again and again in order to sustain an unchanging pattern which is forms the network. Thus, while there exist constant fluctuations everywhere, the universe always reproduces an unchanging dynamics which redirects all outflows as inflows in all scales. It self-regulates as a system which has neither beginning or end.

The book is divided into ten chapters. In the first Chapter “How Big is the Universe?” the ideas of the fractal have been introduced. In the second Chapter “How are the Cosmic Structures Distributed and Organized?” the nature of the cosmic structures are presented by extracting greater information from the available digital data. In the third chapter “Formation and Evolution of Cosmic Structures” the universal way the cosmic structures grow and evolve- whether they are stars, or galaxies, or clusters, or superclusters - are described. In chapter 4 the nature of the fractal network, which lies at the foundation of all structure formation in the universe, is presented together with the discussions about the hierarchical spiral and the knots. In chapter 5 “Our Galaxy and the Question of the Existence of Black-hole at its Center”, the mechanism of the cosmic structure formation in our own Milky Way galaxy, and the dynamics which may operate at the galactic centre, are explained. In chapter 6 “Planetary Nebulae, Supernovae, Quasars and Gamma-ray Bursts”, the mechanisms by which the cosmic structures die after reaching the critical stage of growth are demonstrated by using factual data. In chapter 7 “Vortex Dynamics Behind the Creation of the Universe”, the way vortices grow and decay are described, and examples of the vortices in the laboratories as well as in the atmosphere are studied. In chapter 8 “Cosmic Structure Formation and the Vortex Model” the cosmic structures are compared with the structures seen in the vortices as they grow, evolve and decay. In chapter 9 “Planet Formation”, the question about the role of gravity is touched upon, while the formation and motions of planets caught in turbulence and the magnetic fields are discussed. In chapter 10 “Summary, Comparison and Conclusion” the basic ideas of the theory are summarized and the answers given by this new theory and the old theory in explaining some of the crucial observations are compared. In the conclusion I have hinted at the connection which may exist between the way universe builds its structures and the biological world of life.
