The Music of Consciousness

Trying to understand the nature of existence is a fundamental concern for all thinking human beings. Our ancestors looked at the sky, especially the night sky, and were filled with wonder about its symbols and its strangeness. From the seventeenth century, discoveries have dramatically changed man's view of the universe. Copernicus and Galileo changed the view we had of the solar system. Hubble proved there are billions of galaxies not unlike our own Milky Way and that they are expanding to God knows where. The last 150 years have expanded our horizons with the advent of miraculous discoveries in quantum physics, the big bang, relativity, particles of all shapes and sizes, black holes, neutron stars, entanglement, quasars, pulsars, cosmic background microwave radiation, not to mention nuclear power and atomic bombs. This book takes all this knowledge in an interesting direction, focusing on consciousness, on man's journey in light of the new discoveries and new knowledge. It raises questions about what precisely evolution is, about the mysteries of creation, about the essential meaning of the wave function, and it will make the reader wonder even more why we wonder why, why we wonder why we wonder.
