The Prophet and the Astronomer

Meer over het boek

Exploring the connection between ancient prophecies and contemporary astronomy, Marcelo Gleiser delves into humanity's quest to understand cosmic phenomena. He examines themes ranging from apocalyptic visions in religious texts to modern scientific inquiries about cataclysmic events like asteroid impacts, solar eclipses, and black holes. The narrative reflects on the implications of these cosmic events for life on Earth and contemplates the universe's ultimate fate, weaving together insights from both science and spirituality.
