Episode 35: Alexis Castellanos, Author of “Isla to Island”, and Her Panel Presentation during the Operación Pedro Pan Two-Day Event
No full textIn Part 1 of “Operación Pedro Pan: The Voices and Stories of Cuba’s Child Exodus—A Knights HistoryCast Mini-Series,” the Department of History’s Sebastian Garcia talked with Alexis Castellanos, an author, illustrator, graphic novelist, and a panelist at the esteemed, conspicuous, and powerful “Operación Pedro Pan: Honoring the Cultural, Historical Legacy of Cuba’s Child Exodus” Two-Day Program that Florida Humanities, UCF’s Department of English and Department of Modern Languages and Literatures sponsored (see https://cah.ucf.edu/pedro-pan/ for more details on sponsors and the program in general).
Sebastian structured this specific episode on Alexis Castellanos’ Isla to Island, a wordless graphic novel grounded by her personal family history and the history of Operación Pedro Pan (Operation Peter Pan). By analyzing such a historic event through the medium of fiction, Sebastian argued that this is one of the most unique Knights HistoryCast episodes of all time. Naturally, their conversation expanded to what she talked about during her panel presentation in Panel One, Day 1 of the event that featured “internationally renowned scholars that discussed the political, historical, and cultural legacy of Operación Pedro Pan (1960-1962).” (https://cah.ucf.edu/pedro-pan/)

Geometrotermodinámica del Agujero Negro de Kerr-Newman con Constante Cosmológica
No full textEl estudio de las termodinámica de agujeros negros ha sido objeto de constante análisis;las transiciones de fase de los agujeros negros se ha obtenido por medio de la capacidad calorífica. En la actualidad la propuesta desarrollada por Hernando Quevedo ha formalizado el estudio de la termodinámica introduciendo un factor geométrico que ha cobrado relevancia en el contexto de la relatividad general y los agujeros negros, pues además de hallar transiciones de fase con la capacidad calorífica se han logrado relacionar las singularidades de escalar de curvatura R con las transiciones de fase que puedan existir en dichos sistemas. El vínculo entre la termodinámica y la geometría desarrollada por Quevedo se conoce como ıa geometrotermodinámica GTD, donde la invarianza de Legendre juega un rol fundamental pues la escogencia adecuada de la métrica asegura resultados ́óptimos en el estudio. En este trabajo se aplica la GTD al agujero negro de Kerr AdS y Kerr-Newman AdS, con la constante cosmológica como variable termodinámica, donde los potenciales termodinámicos nos permiten calcular la capacidad calorífica y las transiciones de fase que ocurren en estos sistemas para ser comparadas con las singularidades obtenidas con escalar de curvatura R. Los resultados obtenidos nos llevan a concluir que la constante cosmológica como variable termodinámica no produce cambios en las transiciones de fase, tal y como se esperaba. / Abstract. The study of thermodynamics of black holes has been constant alalisis object; the phase transitions of black holes has been obtain trought the heat capacity . At present, the proposal developed by Hernando Quevedo has formailzed the study of thermodynamics by introducting a geometric factor that has gained importance in the context of the general relativity and black holes, as well as �nding a phase transitions with a heat capacity has been achieved related the singularities of the curvatur escalar R with a phase transitions that may exist in such systems. The link between thermodynamics and geometry developed by Quevedo called GTD, where the Legendre invariance plays a fundamental rolle as the proper choice of the metric ensures optimum results in the study. This paper applies the GTD to AdS Kerr black hole and Kerr-Newman AdS with cosmological constant like thermodynamic variable, where the thermodynamic potential allow calculate the heat capacity and phase transitions that occur in these systems to be compared with the singularities curvature obtained with scalar curvature R. The results obtained we have concluded that the cosmological constant like thermodynamics variable no produce changes in phase transitions, like we have hoped.Maestrí
THE MYSTIC ROAD : SELECTED POEMS - ALEXIS KARPOUZOS
No full text
Alexis karpouzos (born on April 09, 1967) is a philosopher, author, spiritual master and pioneer of higher consciousness. He is author of several books on philosophy, metaphysics, spirituality, modern science. His most famous books are: ‘’Universal consciousness’’, ‘’non-duality’’, ‘’An ocean of souls’’, ‘’Beyond the heaven’’. Alexis Karpouzos is also a recording artist. He has recorded two music albums and twenty-four singles songs. He has also appeared in two documentary films, television and radio productions. He is the pioneer of the post-ontology consciousness and the wisdom of universal wholeness. The global language of poetry of Alexis Karpouzos, by following the paths of wisdom, is a vehicle for transmitting human knowledge and values, history, ancient traditions, and links with nature. It transmits the human values and worldly knowledge that are essential for opening ourselves to the Other. Poetic creation, therefore, forges very strong links between humans -it transcends beyond languages, beliefs and cultures. Each poem appears in its original form, in a vibrant celebration of life, diversity, language, and the enduring power of poetry. At a time when the Humanities are under threat, this book offers a defense of poetry within the context of growing interest in mindfulness in spirituality, in consciousness, in art, in education.</p

COSMOLOGY, PHILOSOPHY AND PHYSICS: ALEXIS KARPOUZOS
No full textIf physics leads us today to a world view which is essentially holistic, it returns, in a way, to its beginning, 2,500 years ago. It is interesting to follow the evolution of Western science along its spiral path, starting from the mystical philosophies of the early Greeks, rising and unfolding in an impressive development of intellectual thought that increasingly turned away from its mystical origins to develop a world view which is in sharp contrast to that of the Far East In its most recent stages, Western science is finally overcoming this view and coming back to those of the early Greek and the Eastern philosophies. This time, however, it is not only based on intuition, but also on experiments of great precision and sophistication, and on a rigorous and consistent mathematical formalism. The parallels to modem physics appear not only in the Vedas of Hinduism, in the I Ching , or in the Buddhist sutras, but also in the fragments of Heraclitus, Parmenides, Plotinus, African-American philosophy, the eastern negative theology, in the Sufism of lbn Arabi, in the holistic spirit of Giordano Bruno and Meister Eckhart, in monadology of Leibniz, in the Absolute Idea of Hegel and Shelling, e.t.
All ancient spiritual traditions suggest that the world is a unity and the multiplicity is only apparent. Modern science claims that the visible world of matter and the multiplicity is only apparent, the reality is unseen and invisible. Since different roads the mysticism and the rationalism lead to the same view, the view of the open totality of the world. The mystical insight of spirituality and the rational mind of science leading to the open thought, the wisdom of life. The spiritual experience of oneness conduces to the same insight as reasoning through science. Both convey the insight of fundamental interconnection between ourselves, other people, other forms of life, the biosphere and, ultimately, the universe. Science and spirituality, far from being mutually exclusive and conflicting elements, are complementary partners in the search for the path that can enable humanity to recover its oneness with the world. Science demonstrates the urgent and objective need for it; and spirituality testifies to its inherent value and supreme desirability. We can reason to our oneness in the world, and we can experience our oneness with the world. The time has come to do both, for they are complementary and mutually reinforcing.
Presents a revolutionary new paradigm of Cosmic Thought that bridges the divide between science and spirituality. Discloses the ramifications of non-localized consciousness and how the physical world and spiritual experience are two aspects of the same Cosmos. What scientists are now finding at the outermost frontiers of every field is overturning all the basic premises concerning the nature of matter and reality.The essays on this book are the notes from the international e – learning courses that were given by the philosopher, and author Alexis Karpouzos during the winter of 2014. Students studying in London, Amsterdam, Berlin and Paris took part in the courses, which were held by the educational and cultural center "Alexis karpouzos community", located in Athens
