In The Wonder of the World: A Journey from Modern Science to the Mind
of God, Varghese explores the basic and critical questions we face concerning
this remarkable and wonderful universe. Why are we here? Where are we going? This
is no doctrinaire treatise, but a sensitive, profound and clear discussion of
the important issues of our universe and our existence, including questions, answers,
and uncertainties. It is written with a deep understanding of philosophy, spirituality,
and the complex science involved, yet expressed in a way which is interesting
and very understandable to the non-specialist.
—Charles H.
Townes
Nobel Prize winner and inventor of the laser

of intelligence in its history? Who holds the patent on quantum fields and the

the questions that drive The Wonder of the World: A Journey from Modern Science
to the Mind of God, More...
