Annotation: Alan Lightman here explores the emotional and philosophical questions raised by discoveries in science, focusing most intently on the human condition and the needs of mankind. He looks at the difficult dialogue between science and religion, the possibility that our universe is simply an accident, the manner in which modern technology has separated us from direct experience of the world, and our resistance to the view that our bodies and minds can be explained by science. And behind all of these considerations is the suggestion that what we see and understand of the world is only a tiny piece of the extraordinaryperhaps unfathomablewhole.
