What if the afterlife began not with answers, but with the birth of a universe?

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.
