Reviews
"Alan Lightman might be the only writer who can dance through not just one but seven universes in a book not much larger than a human hand."      -- The Columbus Dispatch "Engaging. . . . While this lively, lyrical book examines some of the major scientific thinking of our time, it also celebrates the human drive to make sense of it all."       -- Portland Press Herald "Any reader will enjoy pondering, through well-organized and graceful prose, what can be objectively proven about the world in which we live and what remains a mystery."       -- The Boston Globe "Lightman has an appealing humility and affection for the mysterious, and an even more attractive compassion for humans, with their short lives and big questions."      -- The Columbus Dispatch "Lightman is one of the few physicists who can name-check the Dalai Lama, astronomer Henrietta Leavitt, Dostoevsky, and dark energy in the same work, while deftly guiding readers through discussions of modern physics and philosophy. Here he has composed a thoughtful, straightforward collection of essays that invite readers to think deeply about the world around them."       -- Publishers Weekly,  starred review "Alan Lightman . . . has written not so much about cosmology as his title might imply but about our direct, subjective experience with it . . . . We are not observers on the outside looking in. We are on the inside too."      -- New York Journal of Books "This MIT physicist-turned-bestselling author is one of the nation's top science writers, exploring the intersection of science and culture. That he used to teach physics in the morning, and creative writing in the afternoon is all the recommendation you need. . . . Lightman [is] an able and charming tour guide. . . .  The Accidental Universe  portrays a physicist who not only observes his environment, but interacts with it, as well."       --Portland Press Herald "As he's demonstrated in highly original novels like  Einstein's Dreams  and  Mr g , Alan Lightman possesses the mind of a theoretical physicist and the soul of an artist. . . . He offers intriguing glimpses of how the gulf we too often perceive between science and the rest of life might be bridged."       -- Shelf Awareness "Elegantly provocative. . . . Lightman celebrates our grand quest for knowledge and takes measure of the challenges our discoveries deliver."       -- Booklist

Synopsis
The bestselling author of Einsteins Dreams explores the emotional and philosophical questions raised by recent discoveries in science w ith passion and curiosity. He looks at the dialogue between science and religion; the conflict between our human desire for permanence and the impermanence of nature; the possibility that our universe is simply an accident; the manner in which modern technology has separated us from direct experience of the world; and our resistance to the view that our bodies and minds can be explained by scientific logic and laws. Behind all of these considerations is the suggestion--at once haunting and exhilarating--that what we see and understand of the world is only a tiny piece of the extraordinary, perhaps unfathomable whole., The bestselling author of Einsteins Dreams explores the emotional and philosophical questions raised by recent discoveries in science w ith passion and curiosity .
