Download or read book Genesis Zen and Quantum Physics A Fresh Look at the Theology and Science of Evolution written by Jeff A. Benner and published by . This book was released on 2011-10-11 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since ancient times man has sought to understand the origins of the universe around him, and his place within it. Such speculations were once the sole purview of religion, but since the Enlightenment, science and rationality have also attempted to explain these mysteries, but from an opposing perspective. Conflict resulted and both sides dug in, clinging to dogmas that precluded any consideration of the other side. "Genesis, Zen and Quantum Physics" enters the fray with a very unique approach. Believing that harmony, rather than conflict, defines the relationship between the Genesis account and modern science; the authors have retranslated the creation story according to the ancient Hebrew pictographic language and in the context of the nomadic culture from which the language and narratives arose. The resulting translation and its accompanying commentary challenge the common understanding of God, science, and the very reason for man's existence. By harmonizing an accurate biblical account with cutting edge scientific understanding, the authors present a mature religious ideal and an appreciation for the understanding of the ancients for modern scientific concepts. This is a book that will redefine your understanding of God, the world around you and your role within it.

Download or read book The Quantum Genesis written by Alessandro Candeas and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is quantum science able to help us understand the creation of the universe and shed light on the narrative presented by the book of Genesis? If Hamlet lived in our century, he would say that there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of not only in our philosophy, but also in our science. This may be felt today because the Newtonian paradigm that frames our experiences and our common sense is being challenged by the more complex paradigms of relativity and quantum, field and superstring theories. As a consequence, our world views and religious frameworks are also invited to evolve accordingly. "The Quantum Genesis: the creation of the universe according to a quantum reading of the Bible" is an attempt to contribute to a new dialogue between religion and science. It proposes an innovative look at the first verses of Genesis according to the post-Newtonian paradigm, which embraces quantum field and string theories. Its chapters offer a new reading of the following narratives: 1) "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth"; 2) And God said, “Let there be light”; 3) “Let there be the firmament”; 4) “Let the Earth bring forth the living creature”; 5) “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness”; 6) "And God saw every thing that He had made, and, behold, it was very good". Indeed, scientific breakthroughs have rushed into fields previously monopolized by religion and philosophy. Paradigm shifts have moved science away from the tangible and concrete, drawing it to the conceptual, the subtle. Religious mysteries like eternity, omnipresence, interpenetration between energy and matter, conscious power over reality and unity of beings may find compatibilities with quantum theory. Features previously considered antiscientific heresies or mysticism now form a part of an explanatory framework of a more sophisticated science that shakes the pillars of materialism, determinism, mechanicism and the objectivism of classical science. The 21st century may witness the convergence between science and religion, between reason and faith, taking into account the advancements of the first toward more subtle, intangible and complex accomplishments that challenge common sense and daily experiences, and the growing tolerance and open mindedness of the latter. Divergences between science and religion may be put together in two dilemmas: theism versus naturalism and materialism versus spiritualism. The book argues that both dilemmas are false, and that everything is intertwined within the framework of the “intelligent design” thesis. Open-minded physics have been stressing the convergence between quantum theory – particularly cosmic interconnection and unity – and aspects of Taoism, Hinduism and Brahmanism. Nevertheless, this convergence has not been deeply studied in Christianity and Judaism, in spite of the broad possibilities of links with the Holy Scriptures. That is what this book tries to accomplish, exploring bridges with the quantum fields of energy (“heavens”, “earth” and “heavenly waters”), from before the Big Bang itself all the way to the making of man, while also considering the creation of light and of life itself. It may be of interest of not only religious readers, but also of scientists, atheists, agnostics and the general public.

Download or read book The Creation of Quantum Mechanics and the Bohr Pauli Dialogue written by J. Hendry and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many books have been written on the history of quantum mechanics. So far as I am aware, however, this is the first to incorporate the results of the large amount of detailed scholarly research completed by professional historians of physics over the past fifteen years. It is also, I believe, the first since Max Jammer's pioneering study of fifteen years ago to attempt a genuine 'history' as opposed to a mere technical report or popular or semi-popular account. My aims in making this attempt have been to satisfy the needs of historians of science and, more especially, to promote a serious interest in the history of science among phYSicists and physics students. Since the creation of quantum mechanics was inevitably a technical process conducted through the medium of technical language it has been impossible to avoid the introduction of a large amount of such language. Some acquaintance with quantum mechanics, corresponding to that obtained through an undergraduate physics course, has accordingly been assumed. I have tried to ensure, however, that such an acquaintance should be sufficient as well as necessary, and even someone with only the most basic grounding in physics should be able with judicious skip ping, to get through the book. The technical details are essential to the dialogue, but the plot proceeds and can, I hope, be understood on a non technical level.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul LaViolette reveals astonishing parallels between cutting edge scientific thought and early creation myths, and how these myths encode a theory of cosmology in which matter is continually growing from seeds of order that emerge spontaneously from chaos. Exposing the contradictions of the Big Bang theory, LaViolette leads us beyond the restrictive metaphors of modern science and into a new science for the 21st century.
Download or read book The Genesis of Technoscientific Revolutions written by Venkatesh Narayanamurti and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2021-11-16 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research powers innovation and technoscientific advance, but it is due for a rethink, one consistent with its deeply holistic nature, requiring deeply human nurturing. Research is a deeply human endeavor that must be nurtured to achieve its full potential. As with tending a garden, care must be taken to organize, plant, feed, and weedÑand the manner in which this nurturing is done must be consistent with the nature of what is being nurtured. In The Genesis of Technoscientific Revolutions, Venkatesh Narayanamurti and Jeffrey Tsao propose a new and holistic system, a rethinking of the nature and nurturing of research. They share lessons from their vast research experience in the physical sciences and engineering, as well as from perspectives drawn from the history and philosophy of science and technology, research policy and management, and the evolutionary biological, complexity, physical, and economic sciences. Narayanamurti and Tsao argue that research is a recursive, reciprocal process at many levels: between science and technology; between questions and answer finding; and between the consolidation and challenging of conventional wisdom. These fundamental aspects of the nature of research should be reflected in how it is nurtured. To that end, Narayanamurti and Tsao propose aligning organization, funding, and governance with research; embracing a culture of holistic technoscientific exploration; and instructing people with care and accountability.

Download or read book Genesis written by Guido Tonelli and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2021-04-13 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A breakout bestseller in Italy, now available for American readers for the first time, Genesis: The Story of How Everything Began is a short, humanistic tour of the origins of the universe, earth, and life—drawing on the latest discoveries in physics to explain the seven most significant moments in the creation of the cosmos. Curiosity and wonderment about the origins of the universe are at the heart of our experience of the world. From Hesiod’s Chaos, described in his poem about the origins of the Greek gods, Theogony, to today’s mind-bending theories of the multiverse, humans have been consumed by the relentless pursuit of an answer to one awe inspiring question: What exactly happened during those first moments? Guido Tonelli, the acclaimed, award-winning particle physicist and a central figure in the discovery of the Higgs boson (the “God particle”), reveals the extraordinary story of our genesis—from the origins of the universe, to the emergence of life on Earth, to the birth of human language with its power to describe the world. Evoking the seven days of biblical creation, Tonelli takes us on a brisk, lively tour through the evolution of our cosmos and considers the incredible challenges scientists face in exploring its mysteries. Genesis both explains the fundamental physics of our universe and marvels at the profound wonder of our existence.
Download or read book The Genesis of God written by Michael Faust and published by Magus Books. This book was released on with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many atheists consider Darwin's theory of evolution the proof that God does not exist. On the contrary, it is the basis of God's existence. God is not the creator of the universe but rather its ultimate creation, the optimal expression of the inherent potential of the cosmos. He is the maximum actualization of possibility. Physicists say that anything not forbidden is compulsory. God is the compulsory apex of cosmic existence. Modern science has led to a complete loss of a religious sensibility in the Western world. Religious assertions increasingly sound crazy and ridiculous. The irony is that religion is ultimately scientific. There is no contradiction between science and religion. It is not religion that is abolished by science but atheism. Welcome to the world of the scientific God of cosmic evolution. God not only exists, he is inevitable. Here is the proof, from first principles.
Download or read book The Genesis of Feynman Diagrams written by Adrian Wüthrich and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-09-24 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a detailed reconstruction of the genesis of Feynman diagrams the author reveals that their development was constantly driven by the attempt to resolve fundamental problems concerning the uninterpretable infinities that arose in quantum as well as classical theories of electrodynamic phenomena. Accordingly, as a comparison with the graphical representations that were in use before Feynman diagrams shows, the resulting theory of quantum electrodynamics, featuring Feynman diagrams, differed significantly from earlier versions of the theory in the way in which the relevant phenomena were conceptualized and modelled. The author traces the development of Feynman diagrams from Feynman's "struggle with the Dirac equation" in unpublished manuscripts to the two of Freeman Dyson's publications which put Feynman diagrams into a field theoretic context. The author brings to the fore that Feynman and Dyson not only created a powerful computational device but, above all, a new conceptual framework in which the uninterpretable infinities that had arisen in the old form of the theory could be precisely identified and subsequently removed in a justifiable manner.
Download or read book Modern Physics and Ancient Faith written by Stephen M. Barr and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2003-02-28 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A considerable amount of public debate and media print has been devoted to the “war between science and religion.” In his accessible and eminently readable new book, Stephen M. Barr demonstrates that what is really at war with religion is not science itself, but a philosophy called scientific materialism. Modern Physics and Ancient Faith argues that the great discoveries of modern physics are more compatible with the central teachings of Christianity and Judaism about God, the cosmos, and the human soul than with the atheistic viewpoint of scientific materialism. Scientific materialism grew out of scientific discoveries made from the time of Copernicus up to the beginning of the twentieth century. These discoveries led many thoughtful people to the conclusion that the universe has no cause or purpose, that the human race is an accidental by-product of blind material forces, and that the ultimate reality is matter itself. Barr contends that the revolutionary discoveries of the twentieth century run counter to this line of thought. He uses five of these discoveries—the Big Bang theory, unified field theories, anthropic coincidences, Gödel’s Theorem in mathematics, and quantum theory—to cast serious doubt on the materialist’s view of the world and to give greater credence to Judeo-Christian claims about God and the universe. Written in clear language, Barr’s rigorous and fair text explains modern physics to general readers without oversimplification. Using the insights of modern physics, he reveals that modern scientific discoveries and religious faith are deeply consonant. Anyone with an interest in science and religion will find Modern Physics and Ancient Faith invaluable.
Download or read book Einstein Defiant written by Edmund Blair Bolles and published by Joseph Henry Press. This book was released on 2004-05-09 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I find the idea quite intolerable that an electron exposed to radiation should choose of its own free will, not only its moment to jump off, but also its direction. In that case, I would rather be a cobbler, or even an employee in a gaming house, than a physicist." -Albert Einstein A scandal hovers over the history of 20th century physics. Albert Einstein-the century's greatest physicist-was never able to come to terms with quantum mechanics, the century's greatest theoretical achievement. For physicists who routinely use both quantum laws and Einstein's ideas, this contradiction can be almost too embarrassing to dwell on. Yet Einstein was one of the founders of quantum physics and he spent many years preaching the quantum's importance and its revolutionary nature. The Danish genius Neils Bohr was another founder of quantum physics. He had managed to solve one of the few physics problems that Einstein ever shied away from, linking quantum mathematics with a new model of the atom. This leap immediately yielded results that explained electron behavior and the periodic table of the elements. Despite their mutual appreciation of the quantum's importance, these two giants of modern physics never agreed on the fundamentals of their work. In fact, they clashed repeatedly throughout the 1920s, arguing first over Einstein's theory of "light quanta"(photons), then over Niels Bohr's short-lived theory that denied the conservation of energy at the quantum level, and climactically over the new quantum mechanics that Bohr enthusiastically embraced and Einstein stubbornly defied. This contest of visions stripped the scientific imagination naked. Einstein was a staunch realist, demanding to know the physical reasons behind physical events. At odds with this approach was Bohr's more pragmatic perspective that favored theories that worked, even if he might not have a corresponding explanation of the underlying reality. Powerful and illuminating, Einstein Defiant is the first book to capture the soul and the science that inspired this dramatic duel, revealing the personalities and the passions-and, in the end, what was at stake for the world.
