La diversidad de la ciencia

In this posthumous work, the brilliant astrophysicist and Pulitzer Prize winner Carl Sagan masterfully combines astronomy, physics, biology, philosophy, mythology and theology to explore the relationship between religion and science, and to explain the almost mystical feeling one experiences when admiring the universe. . In 1985, Sagan was invited to the prestigious Gifford Lectures and the result of that meeting is this wonderful and personal exposition of his observations and opinions on major issues in human history. With a clear and direct style, without academicism or technicality, the author addresses the key themes of his work such as the origin of the universe, the possibility of intelligent life on other planets, the danger of nuclear annihilation, creationism and the possible chemical nature. of transcendence. Sagan's funny, wise, and often surprisingly prophetic observations about some of the universe's greatest mysteries have the invigorating effect of stimulating the intellect and imagination, as well as awakening us to the greatness of life in the cosmos.
