| Synopsis: |
Paul Davies, world renowned physicist and the author of more than twenty five books, explores significant scientific developments in explaining the origin of the universe in this critically acclaimed book, first published in 1988 and out of print for the past several years. Discoveries in the late twentieth century radically transformed the way scientists perceive the nature of the universe and our own place in it. Melding a variety of ideas and disciplines from biology, fundamental physics, computer science, mathematics, genetics and numerology, Davies presents his provocative theory on the source of the universe's creative potency. He explores the new paradigm (replacing the centuries old Newtonian view of the universe) that recognizes the collective and holistic properties of physical systems and the possibility of self organization. He suggests the idea of a blueprint, a pre-existing plan which the universe is realising as it develops.Challenging the view point that the physical universe is a meaningless collection of particles, he finds that the evidence of design is overwhelming: "Science may explain all the processes whereby the universe evolves its own destiny, but that leaves room for there to be a meaning behind existence." A provocative book that should be read. |
