Mind, Matter, and Our Search for Meaning in an Evolving Universe
Ratings6
Average rating3.9
Throughout this book, the author's background in mathematics and physics is evident. This reminds me of this joke that a chancellor complains about the physics department “We need to cut costs!” He says. “All this complex technology you guys use! Why can't you be more like the Maths department? All they need is pencils, paper and a cup of coffee!” as applied physics needs costlier equipment.
Having worked in both spheres simultaneously, the author puts the reader at ease who is interested in reading popular science. Anecdotes of the string theory in its earliest adaptations to the Higgs Boson experiment (GOD particle) renders particle physics comprehensible to a casual reader like me.
The references in Vedas and Upanishads which deal with time, consciousness, the relation between cause and effect, that still the modern science of the west pondering upon, shows that Vedic sciences are sophisticated in their understanding.
In the end, “Until the end of Time” will show anyone who has the slightest tinge of curiosity about the mind, matter, consciousness, and of course the existential universe, many angles to explore.
