Cosmological koans
Please sign in so that we can notify you about a reply
Anthony Agirre is not only a well -known physicist, cosmologist and mathematician, but also a popularizer of science, who acted as an expert in a number of documentaries. In his “cosmological koans,” he decided to talk about the structure of our world as a physicist and resorted to the practice of Zen-Buddhist koans for this. Coans are a kind of parable in which the doctrine of reality is concluded, as it is understood by adherents of Zen Buddhism. There are several dozen such koans in the book, and each of them affects any one topic (classical and quantum mechanics, calculation theory, entropy, etc) It is not easy to talk about such complex objects is understandable and exciting, but the author succeeded: the thoughtful reader once again convinces that our universe is a rather mysterious place and that there is a connection between its properties and the existence of people
