Synopsis
Playful and profound, bizarre and brilliant--Pickover blends science fiction with science, religion, and philosophy in a unique and user-friendly manner., In his most ambitious book yet, Clifford Pickover bridges the gulf between logic, spirit, science, and religion. While exploring the concept of omniscience, Pickover explains the kinds of relationships limited beings can have with an all-knowing God. Pickover's thought exercises, controversial experiments, and practical analogies help us transcend our ordinary lives while challenging us to better understand our place in the cosmos and our dreams of a supernatural God. Through an inventive blend of science, history, philosophy, science fiction, and mind-stretching brainteasers, Pickover unfolds the paradoxes of God like no other writer. He provides glimpses into the infinite, allowing us to think big, and to have daring, limitless dreams., Playful and profound, bizarre and brilliant-Pickover blends science fiction with science, religion, and philosophy in a unique and user-friendly manner.
