Black Excellence in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics: Volume II

Volume 2 of 2, begins with Africans in Diaspora who have made breakthroughs in our comprehension of time and space. It begins with the life story and contributions of George Robert Carruthers who invented astronautical devices essential to space exploration. His foremost invention is the ultraviolet spectrum camera used by the National Aeronautical and Space Administrations (NASA) for the moon landing. The story of Isaac T. Gilliam IV follows as the Director of NASA’s Research Center who supervised flight tests of high speed aircraft and experimental vehicles. The book reviews other inventors in space travel including black astronauts. Respecting time travel, this volume examines whether we are living in a digital reality. If so, to whose or what’s advantage? How this matters evolved from theories to a movie series and mass popularity. Sophia Stewart is given credit for writing the original script. In respects to theoretical framework for whether reality is virtual, Dr. James Gates ideas are highlighted. Neil de Grasse Tyson, the astrophysicist who worked with colleagues, like Gates, in connecting time and space is perused. Examined is whether the past, present, and future are simultaneous realities. Included is whether our essence exists in parallel worlds, dimensions, and universes. The book does a deep dive into identifying unsung leaders in science from Percy Julian, Marie Daly, and Edward Bouchet to Sara Lawrence Lightfoot and Oluyinka O. Olutoye. Space pioneers from a builder of rocket systems to leading astronauts, like Mae Jemison, is acknowledged. Aprille Ericsson, a renowned astronautical engineer is recognized, among others. Powtaw Valerino is acknowledged for her work on jet propulsion and navigational systems for NASA’s Cassani mission. The volume ends up with biblical references to research highlighted regarding time and space, as well as extraterrestrial imprint on our civilization. References are given to King James Bible and the International Bible versions. Appeal is given to our “Better Angels” and intellectual design. Increased alien intervention is examined and why. Revelation regarding whether the latter intervention is known to the government and if so, why this knowledge is publicly denied.
