Abstract:
“From the Big Bang to the Big Brain” chronicles the fourteen-billion-year story of cosmic and human history for the nonscientific mind. It is a story, dazzling in scope, that covers seven major transitional events, beginning with the origin of the universe and progressing to the evolution of human consciousness. Drawing diverse data from astrophysics to metaphysics, a world of accumulated scientific and philosophical knowledge is traversed by blending science with imagination and fact with intuition. The book scopes the universes of time and mind by examining key pivotal transitions in our evolutionary history.
