Jacket Flap Text of The Bible According to Einstein
An important moment in
science has arrived. During the
past few centuries, human knowledge of Nature has
increased manyfold. Scientists are now able to do things
previously thought to be impossible: The fabrication of exotic
kinds of matter that do not exist in Nature, the exploration of
outer space by sophisticated man-made probes, and the
cloning of life forms are just a few examples. We have achieved
a new understanding of how the Universe works. This
knowledge is precious, almost sacred -- it is the culmination
of the efforts of countless scientists. The philosophical
implications are immense: We now see our place in the
Universe differently than we did a few centuries ago. The
age of scientific enlightenment is upon us.
This knowledge has now been assembled in a single
book. The Bible According to Einstein is a
comprehensive compendium of scientific discoveries and
insights. Adopting a biblical format, it is divided into two
works: an "Old Testament" and a "New Testament."
What was the Universe like during the initial moments of
Creation? When did the stars and galaxies appear? How did
the Sun and Earth form? In the "Old Testament," the history
of the Universe is narrated from the beginning to the
present. The remarkable geological and biological evolution
of our planet is "resurrected in words," starting with the
emergence of life, continuing to the growth of complex
organisms, moving to the reign of the ruling reptiles, and
ending with the appearance of mammals and man. The
development of our Universe and our World is an amazing
story.
What are the natural "commandments" that govern
all? How did human spirituality and intelligence
emerge? After addressing these questions, the "New
Testament" goes on to deliver the laws of Nature and to reveal
the extraordinary workmanship of the Universe. Here the
reader discovers Nature's fundamental elements: from the
quark to the atom, from the double helix DNA molecule to the
cell, from the Earth to the celestial heaven. Unveiled is the
intrinsic beauty of our Universe.
The great physicist and Nobel laureate Richard
Feynman once said (in slightly different words): The fact that
I understand this rose -- the light reflected off its surface, how it
is composed of cells, why it is red, the evolutionary origin of
the bees' attraction to it, and so on -- these things do not in
any way diminish my appreciation of its beauty. In fact,
they enhance my ability to enjoy the rose.
Look inside this book and experience the World. Discover
the knowledge of "Nature's gospels." Here before you is an
offering -- the gift of scientific enlightenment.
