Description

One of "Brain Pickings" Best Science Books of 2014Incredible discoveries from the fringes of the universe to the inner workings of our minds all from nothing! It turns out that almost nothing is as curious or as enlightening as, well, nothing. What is nothingness? Where can it be found? The writers of the world's top-selling science magazine investigate from the big bang, dark energy, and the void to superconductors, vestigial organs, hypnosis, and the placebo effect and discover that understanding nothing may be the key to understanding everything: What came before the big bang, and will our universe end? How might cooling matter down almost to absolute zero help solve our energy crisis? How can someone suffer from a false diagnosis as though it were true? Does nothingness even exist? Recent experiments suggest that squeezing a perfect vacuum somehow creates light. Why is it unfair to accuse sloths animals who do nothing of being lazy? And more! Contributors Paul Davies, Jo Marchant, and Ian Stewart, along with two former editors of "Nature" and 16 other leading writers and scientists, marshal up-to-the-minute research to make one of the most perplexing realms in science dazzlingly clear. Prepare to be amazed at how much "more" there is to nothing than you ever realized."

And we come under the instruction and discipline of great spiritual teachers of prayer. In two previous books, Reading Scripture with the Church Fathers and Learning Theology with the Church Fathers, Christopher Hall has ushered us alongside the church fathers as they study the Scriptures and plumb the depths of theology. In this survey of the spiritual life of worship he informs and challenges Christians in faithful Nothing: Surprising Insights Everywhere from Zero to Oblivion pdf living today. Hall weaves his own experiences into his observations of the fathers' practices and teachings and so helps us close the gap of the centuries.
