interesting book

Great book!
And vice versa –
Little here is likely to surprise any reasonably serious reader of popular science, but Lightman’s delightful musings about meaning and wonder in our nearly impenetrable universe somehow capture what makes life worth living. Or, short of that, they leave one feeling these few hours were time well spent.
Clay Kallam –
Alan Lightman, a theoretical physicist and writer, begins "Searching for Stars on an Island in Maine" with a brief chapter on seeing 17,000-year-old cave paintings, and follows with his mystical experience while contemplating the stars on Maine’s Lute Island.Those two themes twine and twine again throughout this brief, wonderfully written book that ponders some of philosophy’s most basic questions — without, of course, being able to come to any definitive conclusions.The experience in the cave takes Lightman back to the human artists who are completely unknown to us, just as we will be completely unknown to people 17,000 years in the future. We may find some meaning in those cave paintings today, but what meaning the artists intended, and any hint about their thoughts, feelings, identity and aspirations, are lost in the deep fog of time. Similarly, of course, our lives will disappear under the weight of millennia, and what matters so much to us now will be irrelevant in the blink of a geologic eye.That being so, what is it that gives meaning to our lives? Why should we strive if all is eventually, and perhaps almost immediately, meaningless?That brings Lightman to his other main point — the search for the Absolute (his capitalization) and certainty, some of which can be found in mystical experiences. These deeply moving and powerful trance-like states lie at the heart of every religion and belief about the connectedness of the universe, and apparently (as I have nev.

No matter what your belief system is, at one point you will have to accept that only with a leap of faith(or quantum) things start to make sense(or not). Simply because we do not know what we do not know. That’s the essence of this book, at least the way I interpreted it…There is no God, yet deep inside he longs for one.
Max Blackston –
This book is a rare example of a scientist being honest about belief in God. Although in practically every chapter, Lightman declares his lack of any such faith, that he is committed to a scientist’s materialistic view of the world, and that he believes in the finality of death, each of these declarations is counterbalanced by a “yet†or “butâ€: He personally feels something greater than himself, "a hint of something absolute", when he lies on his back staring at the stars from a boat near his island summer home off the coast of Maine; although he knows that his mind is no more than a “hundred-billion odd neurons†directed by “chemical and electrical flowsâ€, he admits “I feel, therefore I amâ€; and when he thinks about his deceased parents, he cannot bring himself to believe the “impossible truth†that they no longer exist.In a series of engagingly written chapters, the author ranges across the history of scientific discovery and explores the boundaries of modern scientific understanding. He covers the Galilean "revolution", that finally put paid to the notion of the earth-centric universe, the unlocking of the secrets of the once indivisible atom, Darwinian evolution, and Quantum Mechanics, which demonstrates that, at some level, nothing is certain. These all challenge religious certainties and spiritual beliefs, but the author does not mock or disparage the fact that many people – including many scientists – cling to them. He interleaves the science with chapt.

Well written, thoughtful challenge to many long held ideas. Lightman explains complex ideas in such a way that they are relatively easy to understand even though one does not have a scientific background. This is one of the few books,that will make you put it down after many of the chapters and just think about what you have just read.
Larry Weissberger –
An amazing book!
