Throughout history, humans have dreamed of knowing the reason for the existence of the universe. In The Mind of God, physicist Paul Davies explores whether modern science can provide the key that will unlock this last secret. In his quest for an ultimate explanation, Davies reexamines the great questions that have preoccupied humankind for millennia, and in the process explores, among other topics, the origin and evolution of the cosmos, the nature of life and consciousness, and the claim that our universe is a kind of gigantic computer. Charting the ways in which the theories of such scientists as Newton, Einstein, and more recently Stephen Hawking and Richard Feynman have altered our conception of the physical universe. Davies puts these scientists' discoveries into context with the writings of philosophers such as Plato. Descartes, Hume, and Kant. His startling conclusion is that the universe is "no minor byproduct of mindless, purposeless forces....

Paul Davies is really smart. At least he is a lot smarter than I am, or he makes me feel that he is a lot smarter than I am. I am sure that he knows a lot about math and physics. Parts of this book are dense with explanations of mathematical theories and physics that can help us understand the complexity and beautiful simplicity of... I have a Ph.D., but I still found this book a real slog at times, particularly toward the middle of the book, when he digresses extensively on game theory. I still have no real idea how that fits in to the idea of God . . . nevertheless, I found Davies' ideas to be stimulating enough to make the book worth reading. A very enjoyable, interesting and rewarding book. The author is not afraid to tackle the most fundamental questions about the Universe, science/mathematics, consciousness and their fascinating mutual inter-relationships. And he does it in a deep but accessible way, combining a scientific approach/overview with interesting philosophical...
