Synopsis
I'm David Terrell, and I wrote Start Here. I break a lot of rules in the book, and the book probably offends most people who have absolute faith in God or Science. So I think you'll like it. The first thing I did in the book was show that, logically, there is no real difference between The Big Bang and the Creation Story (the one from the Old Testament). I had fun with that, let me tell you. And then I had fun with everything else. There are those on both sides who don't want to follow the logic. But I don't think there is anyone who can show that the logic is faulty. And I think you might be charmed by the logic. Oh and that was about the first third of the book. Turns out, whether you are made of God-stuff or subatomic particles, you are actually creating the universe at this moment. I don't mean that in any woo-woo, what-if, artsy-fartsy way. This is the reality that all of us have to face at some point. Quarks collapse from wave energy to matter at the point scientists expect them to collapse. Or, from the other side, if there was nothing outside of God at the Creation, then the universe was created from God. Which means you are made of God-stuff. Which means, not to skip too many steps here, you are right now creating the universe as God-stuff or as a being that collapses subatomic particles from waves to matter at the place you expect them. Which is you in this place right now. So some smart-alecks would say, Yeah, but how can you create yourself if you haven't created yourself yet? Wouldn't that mean creating yourself from nothing? Doesn't that sound like a self-referential existence, like “I exist because I exist”? Yeah. Well, haven't we just gone through explaining that Creation thing? And maybe – oops, we've just been created all over again this moment. Who are you to do that? Here's who: by all astronomical measurements, wherever you are is the exact center of the universe. If microwave radiation travels at approximately the speed of light (for this example, I could accept any whole-number integer percentage as a value of "approximately"), how can those microwaves have traveled for 14 billion years and still be here? And if both of those are true, does "here" have any kind of reasonable definition? If the only thing you can do is start, break a few rules and buy this book.

À propos de l'auteur
David A. Terrell was born in California and grew up in Hawai'i. Mr. Terrell lived in a subdivision between a sugar cane plantation and the beach, between Asian-Hawai'ian-Americans and European-Hawai'ian-Americansand Hawai'ian-Hawai'ian-Americans, between visitor and native, belonging to none -- and yet, in the long tradition of those Islands, belonging to all. He was educated at the University of Hawai'i, and he still participates in late-night discussions about the meaning of life, the Universe and everything. Back in California, he found work as a specialist in learning the technologies for a new product, understanding the various ways customers use the new product, and delivering information at the moment the customer needs it. He perfected his craft and waited for the perfect time to write this book. He has had two marriages, and he’s been happily discussing life, the Universe and everything with Suse for several years. This book is a finalization of the synthesis of his research and philosophy or, to put that same thought in different words, this is one way to get it done now. Mr. Terrell continues searching the possibilities of this moment.
