In the summer of 1944, Denis Avey was being held in a POW labour camp, E715, near Auschwitz III. He had heard of the brutality meted out to the prisoners there and he was determined to witness what he could. He hatched a plan to swap places with a Jewish inmate and smuggled himself into his sector of the camp. He spent the night there on two occasions and experienced at first-hand the cruelty of a place where slave workers, had been sentenced to death through labour. Astonishingly, he survived to witness the aftermath of the Death March where thousands of prisoners were murdered by the Nazis as the Soviet Army advanced. After his own long trek right across central Europe he was repatriated to Britain. For decades he couldn't bring himself to revisit the past, but now Denis Avey feels able to tell the full story - a tale as gripping as it is moving - which offers us a unique insight into the mind of an ordinary man whose moral and physical courage are almost beyond belief.

Back in college I dreamed of becoming an investigative journalist, but that all changed when my best friend disappeared. After Claire went missing, all I wanted was a quiet life.

This book predicts anti-gravity made by a rotating black hole, which expands the universe, as well as a mechanism of a flying craft having a disk-shaped body for interstellar travel. The gravitational waves emitted from the black hole are also predicted. They can indicate the presence of the source, the black hole or the flying craft, having physical properties such as energy intensity and spin angular momentum. As a part of the simulation, the mechanism of a time machine is also described, which reverses the past and the future. With this mechanism, humans may observe the projected images of the reversed time in the perpendicular direction of the rotating strong gravity that distorts time and space. This book is a guide for young scientists and engineers who may be working in the field of astronomy, cosmology, astrophysics, space exploration, nuclear science and engineering.
