Cosmos & Astronomical Pulses in Time: Paired Literary–Scientific Visions — Galaxies, Planets & Life
About this ebook
Zoe and Tod step through a tunnel of light—and into a cosmos still forming. What begins as a luminous passage becomes a plunge into quantum un-time, elemental encounters, and the explosive unfolding of galaxies. As they travel through astronomical pulses of time, they are not merely observers but participants: becoming a star, torn apart by a black hole, and reborn as planetary forces—magnetic core and mineral sky. At every scale—atomic, stellar, or human—the question pulses: what does it mean to become?
Alongside this epic journey is a novel scientific model that charts the universe's evolution not as a smooth continuum, but as a series of logarithmic pulses—thresholds of increasing complexity that mark deep structure in time. Five major nodes are mapped: from the speculative quantum matrix before the Big Bang (~32 Gya), to the birth of galaxies (~16 Gya), interactive planets (~8 Gya), the emergence of life (~4 Gya), and the rise of eukaryotic complexity (~2 Gya). Each node marks a leap—cosmic, chemical, or biological.
Together, these parallel narratives reveal a cosmos not simply expanding, but unfolding in rhythm—where love, light, and transformation shape both story and structure. Cosmos & Astronomical Pulses in Time invites readers into a uniquely paired vision—where the poetic and the empirical speak in harmony, and where the mystery of time becomes a gateway to meaning.
About the author
Michael A. Susko holds degrees in Philosophy and Counseling Psychology and brings an interdisciplinary lens to his writing, teaching, and research. He has taught courses in history, Indigenous studies, and dream interpretation, and helped found a progressive charter school that integrated the arts and sciences with a focus on experiential learning.
With a background in mental health advocacy and a commitment to social engagement—including visits to a remote Guatemalan village through a Sister Parish Project—the author's work is informed by both human experience and scientific inquiry.
His research explores the logarithmic unfolding of time across biology, culture, and now, the astronomical universe. In this volume, Cosmos & Astronomical Pulses in Time, he applies this framework to deep space and time, revealing pulsed patterns in galaxy formation, planetary emergence, and life's cosmic context. Blending speculative insight with scientific synthesis, he offers a new perspective on the evolving universe and our place within it.
