Vistas in Time III: Time Sheets
Gerardus D. Bouw, Ph.D. -- pg. 93
The third article in a series that examines the role time plays in our perceptions and memory. Starting with the Energy Uncertainty Principle, we examine the evidence that leads to the many-universes model and explain why that set of solutions is so popular among modern cosmologists. We also examine the nature of the popular holographic universe. We end up with a variant of the Topological Geometrodynamics Theory which projects the 4-dimensional space on a complex plane yielding an 8-dimensional space. Finally, we outline how the elusive single-universe solution can be found in modern cosmological thought.

The Star of Bethlehem I: Astronomical Perspectives
Gerardus D. Bouw, Ph. D. -- pg. 111
A survey of the astronomical events leading up to the birth of Jesus and carrying on through the visit of the wise men and the lunar eclipse before Herod the Great's death. The astronomical evidence points the late summer or very early fall of 2 B.C. as the time of the birth of Christ.
