How did the universe begin? Will it last forever? Why are we here? For millennia, scientists have tried to unravel the mysteries of the universe. Our horizons have greatly expanded, but numerous questions remain. For many, that gap between the known and the unknown is filled by religion. But is there a better way to resolve uncertainty? In this new essay collection, author Raman Sivashankar explores the three ways humans try to explain the mysteries of our existence. The first is through science. Physicists trace the beginning of the world back billions of years and the genesis of the universe even further-to the big bang. Religions, from Christianity to Islam to Hinduism, have their own ways of explaining natural phenomena. And then there is the occult, considered at times both a pseudoreligion and a pseudoscience. But could there also be some truth to what the conjurers, soothsayers, and paranormal investigators claim? Our Universe an Unending Mystery illuminates the connections between science, religion, and the occult and examines the commonalities among different religions. For readers who have niggling questions about the universe or are interested in a fresh perspective on existence, this thought-provoking new book offers fascinating answers.
