Spaceland Publications is honored to present STIP-2: A Lecture Series on Nothing. This has been transcribed directly from the tape recorded lectures of the live presentation of STIP-2 by Professor Galambos. Spaceland Publications-following the example of Galambos’ literary executor, William W. Martin-has edited out nothing other than, “the professor’s slips of tongue, false starts, rare moments of trying to unscramble confusions of thought, dates, numbers, etc.” This is in keeping with the procedure William W. Martin-used in editing Galambos’ fifteen volume magnum opus, Sic Itur Ad Astra. The result? Vintage Galambos! No dull exposition of scientific facts here. Rather, an animated, excited, often humorous and always articulate teaching of the most profound concepts of physics, biology and volitional science by a professor whose love of the subject matter was palpable. It is the hope that the reader will feel more like he is listening to a lecture than reading a book, that Professor Galambos is talking to him, not writing to him.

Fred Bastiat –
Another breakthrough from Spaceland Publications – a special invitational lecture by astrophysicist Andrew J. Galambos presented on Sept. 11th 1976.
This course was jokingly referred to by Galambos as a lecture on nothing. He even guaranteed that it would be about nothing. When his students heard the course, they learned all about nothing – including that nothing was really something. This is vintage Galambos – no dull science info, fast paced, even humorous.
While this book is meant to be read by people already familiar with Galambos’ Theory of Freedom, it can be excellent for people who want to learn how Freedom itself can be derived from physics.
Galambos says that all science is a search for absolutes in a world of relative measurement and he proceeds to cover many facets of physical science in terms any layperson can understand – including astronomy, electricity, mathematics, magnetism, chemistry, biology, energy including discussions of the Carnot engine and absolute zero, and links it all to human behavior, our species survival, and his Theories of Volition and Freedom. In other words, it’s jam-packed with information found nowhere else including any university course.
The concept of zero as the starting point to compare nearly anything is particularly interesting – whether it’s history, journalism, the ego, survival of mankind itself, news, property, finances, coercion (attacks on property), and freedom itself. While there can be assaults on small amounts of property, there is no such thing as a small interference with property. He easily concludes that people in groups have zero rights over property and individuals have zero rights to entitlements. Anything above zero interference with the property of another individual is not acceptable. And, as in science, we must have semantic precision and always work to discover absolutes. Zero coercion is the goal – nothing less.
Spaceland Publications has again done a great job of making Galambos’ lectures available as originally presented to live audiences, word for word, and easy to read with an excellent table of contents and an amazingly thorough index to find any topic in seconds. It’s not for everyone. But for people with an inclination to science who understand that our very survival as a species depends on correct thinking about freedom itself — and not the political state or subjection to artificial intelligence the book is a winner.
