Synopsis
Paul Davies' The Mind of God: Science and the Search for Ultimate Meaning explores how modern science is beginning to shed light on the mysteries of our existence.
Is the universe - and 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 and mathematics in unlocking the secrets of nature mean that there must be a deep and significant link between the human mind and 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 and 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.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Etat : Muy bueno. : En este libro, Paul Davies explora las fascinantes preguntas de la física moderna, como por qué las matemáticas, un sistema abstracto de lógica inventado por el hombre, resultan tan útiles para comprender las leyes de la naturaleza. ¿Es la existencia de vida inteligente una casualidad o, en cierto sentido, una parte inevitable y esencial del cosmos? Davies argumenta que los logros de la ciencia y las matemáticas al revelar los secretos de la naturaleza implican que debe existir una conexión profunda y significativa entre la mente humana y la organización del mundo físico. En esta búsqueda de una explicación última del universo, examina el origen del cosmos, la posibilidad de otros universos y la afirmación de que habitamos una especie de computadora gigante.
