Dr. Kiehn is a retired (emeritus) Professor of Physics with more than 55 years experience as a physics experimentalist, theorist, and teacher. He worked on the nuclear powered submarine project at Argonne National Laboratory and on various reactor and nuclear weapons projects at Los Alamos National Laboratory. He joined the staff of the Physics Department at the University of Houston in 1962, and flew his own Cessna 172 from his Pecan Orchard - Cattle Ranch, near San Antonio, to the University of Houston. He holds a number of patents ranging from Plutonium Breeder Reactors and Radiation Dectectors to Dual Polarized Ring Lasers useful in downhole oil exploration. He now spends much of his time in the Provence area of Southern France, at the base of Mont Ventoux.****

The universal effectiveness of Topological Thermodynamics
In the first monograph of this series, the Cartan Topology (constructed from an Exterior Differential 1-form) was used to generate the First Law of Thermodynamics as a statement in Cohomology -- a topological (not a geometrical) constraint. Now (2009),in this sixth monograph it is demonstrated that the Cartan Topology is equivalent to the Kolmogorov T0 poset (3) topology on 4 points. The T0 topology is not metrizable, so not dependent upon geometrical constraints that cause the classic metrizable theories to be time reversal invariant. IN this volume many examples are given to demonstrate that non-equilibrium systems and irreversible processes are due to the non-metrizable features of the Kolmogorov-Cartan T0 topology.

Falaco Solitons, Cosmology and the Arrow of Time
Falaco Solitons are topological defects you can create in your swimmng pool. Could it be that they are related to pairs of spiral arm galaxies? Thermodynamics of non-equilibrium thermodynamic systems give a logical basis for the arrow of time.
