Looking for Stars on an Island in Maine is a superb guide by Alan Lightman.
The exploration of the stress between our eager for permanence and certainty and fashionable scientific discoveries that time to the impermanent and unsure nature of the world.
As a physicist, Alan Lightman has all the time had a purely scientific view of the world. At the same time as an adolescent, experimenting in his personal laboratory, he was struck by the logic and materiality of the universe, which is managed by a small variety of forces. and peculiar guidelines. These legal guidelines state that every part on the earth is materials and impermanent. However one summer time night, whereas gazing on the stars from a small boat at sea, Lightman was overwhelmed by the overwhelming feeling that he was merging with one thing bigger than himself – an incredible unity and eternity, an indication of one thing absolute and immaterial.
Looking for the celebs on an island in Maine is the results of these lingering urges, written as an prolonged meditation on an island in Maine, the place Lightman and his spouse spent their summers. Surname. Framing the dialogue between faith and science as a distinction between absolutely the and the kin, Lightman explores our human quest for fact and that means in addition to the assorted strategies of faith. and science in that quest. Alongside the way in which, he drew from quite a lot of sources, from Saint Augustine’s conception of absolute fact to Einstein’s concept of relativity, from perception within the divine and everlasting nature of the celebs to matter. and their found dying, from the unity of the as soon as indivisible atom to variety. of subatomic particles and the latest idea of the multiverse.
What emerges just isn’t solely an understanding of the encounter between science and faith but in addition a profound exploration of the complexities of human existence.
I’ve learn practically every part Dr. Lightman has written for the common reader, starting way back with Einstein’s Desires. For me, he is a type of authors that actually hit and miss for me. When he’s good, he is excellent; when he is not… ah… Currently, possibly as a result of he is gotten a bit older, he is written a number of memoir-style books. I’ve to say, I do not discover this to be considered one of his finest works. He would not appear to have the talent to disclose his private historical past in a approach that makes this nice memoir so highly effective.
