Russell Stannard Reihenfolge der Bücher (Chronologisch)

Mnoho lidí se dnes snaží najít kompromis mezi náboženstvím a nejnovějšími vědeckými poznatky. Věda a víra se zabývá zásadními otázkami, které tyto dvě oblasti zdánlivě rozdělují. Autor se věnuje problémům stvoření, evoluce, inteligentního designu, mimozemské inteligence, psychologie, morálky, zázraků a antropického principu a ke každému z nich předkládá jasné a srozumitelné argumenty pro a proti, nahlíží na ně z nejrůznějších úhlů pohledu tak, aby si čtenář mohl sám utvořit úsudek.

Many scientists assert that scientific thinking will eventually lead to a complete understanding of everything. However, Russell Stannard, a prominent high-energy physicist, strongly disagrees. He argues that fundamental science will eventually reach its explanatory limits, marking the end of the scientific age, similar to the stone and iron ages. To illustrate the boundaries of scientific understanding, Stannard explores profound questions in science today, such as consciousness, free will, the nature of space and time, and the existence of extraterrestrial life. He notes that understanding the subatomic world requires particle accelerators, and to grasp the tiniest units of nature, an accelerator the size of a galaxy would be needed. Without a new approach, we may never fully comprehend the universe's basic building blocks. Stannard remains hopeful that some questions will be answered, but acknowledges that certain puzzles may remain unsolved indefinitely, often without our awareness of having reached an insurmountable barrier. While he assures us that scientific knowledge will continue to find new applications and technology will advance, he contends that the quest for fresh discoveries about how the world works must ultimately come to a halt.

Wir alle glauben, dass wir im selben dreidimensionalen Raum leben, dass die Zeit für jeden gleich schnell vergeht und dass die Summe der Winkel in einem Dreieck immer 180° beträgt. Doch Einsteins Relativitätstheorie hat alle diese ›Wahrheiten‹ in Frage gestellt. Es gibt Umstände, unter denen sich jede von ihnen als falsch erweist. Ausgehend von alltäglichen Beobachtungen und den Ergebnissen einfachster Experimente führt Russell Stannard in die spannende Materie ein.
