Paul Davies The Mind of God: Science & the Search for Ultimate Meaning" explores how modern science is beginning to shed light on the mysteries of our existence. Is the universe
- & our place in it
- the result of random chance or is there an ultimate meaning to existence? Where did the laws of nature come from? Were they created by a higher force or can they be explained in some other way? How for example could a mechanism as complex as an eye have evolved without a creator? Paul Davies argues that the achievement of science & mathematics in unlocking the secrets of nature mean that there must be a deep & significant link between the human mind & the organization of the physical world. In this quest for an ultimate explanation of the universe he examines the origin of the cosmos the possibility of other universes & the claim that we inhabit a kind of gigantic computer. The universe is he concludes no mere quirk of fate but a meaningful place for thinking beings. Through science we can truly glimpse the mind of God. " Makes us re-examine the great questions of existence". (" The New York Times"). " The greatest achievement of the book is to provide an insight into the nature of science itself & the uncertainties that lie in the physical realm". (John Gribbin " Sunday Times"). " For those brought up on a diet of Adam & Eve " The Mind of God" will make surprising reading". (" Independent"). Paul Davies is Director of the Beyond Center for Fundamental Concepts in Science & co-Director of the Cosmology Initiative both at Arizona State University. An internationally-acclaimed physicist writer & broadcaster Davies is the author of some twenty award-winning books including " The Eerie Silence: Searching for Ourselves in the Universe" " The Goldilocks Enigma: Why is the Universe Just Right for Life?" & " About Time: Einsteins Unfinished Revolution"."
