This book is a scientific story that chronicles the origin and evolution of the mutually connected physical and mental aspects of our universe. This work examines, in an engaging way, two of the greatest mysteries in all of science and philosophy – the origin of the universe itself and the nature of human consciousness. The author invites the reader to travel with him mentally to ponder the deep question “Why is there something rather than nothing?”
The author infuses memories of events in his own life to showcase the marvelous “magic” of human memory. The book also reveals the sheer power of rational thought embodied in great achievements by the likes of Georg Cantor with his proof of distinct levels of mathematical infinity, and Kurt Gödel in the formulation of his Incompleteness Theorems that lie at the root of our ability to gain absolute knowledge about the universe.
This educationally entertaining work will appeal to a broad spectrum of readers from scientist-authors and educators to anyone who is seeking to discover a new “cosmic perspective” they each might adopt for themselves.
