Description
A lyrical exploration of how modern science illuminates what it means to be human. Oren Harman delves into the latest scientific thinking on the birth of the universe and the solar system, the journey from a single cell all the way to our human minds. Science reveals new insights into the workings of the world around us and within us, reawakening our sense of wonder and terror at existence. In this book, Harman uses modern science to create original mythologies, drawing parallels between ancient legends and contemporary discoveries. From the earth and moon to the loneliness of consciousness, Harman's exploration is a thought-provoking journey into the human condition. Science may not solve our existential puzzles, but its magical discoveries can help us continue the never-ending search for meaning and understanding.
