Review of UNUM: Infinity and Eternity
[Following is a volunteer review of "UNUM: Infinity and Eternity" by Rudy Ernst.]
UNUM: Infinity and Eternity by Rady Ernst is a nonfictional philosophy of science book that tries to answer some of the puzzling questions that humanity has faced over the years.
The book can be summarized in these simple words: "Everything may well be in everything". Well, that's what the author wrote after squeezing thousands of books' worth of information into a book just slightly over 70 pages.
The book focuses on answering the question of our existence and our purpose on earth by first sieving through the most prominent scientific theories that have tried to answer questions about humanity's very nature, like the theory of relativity by Albert Einstein or the now prominent quantum theories that try to focus on subatomic particles in avail to get to the bottom of everything. But the author found these theories lacking and could reach infinity through eternity without giving a clear answer to how and why humanity exists only on earth.
The book also tries to take into account various religious beliefs, which have provided the most basic answer to the question of how and why we exist. In so far as the notion of religious beliefs is based on faith, which is itself infinite, it becomes a battle for eternity. Every belief can be real and true, but as we constantly put these beliefs to the test, each of the findings consistently points in the direction of infinite complexities that escape our human comprehension.
This book UNUM is well written. It shows our shorthand capacity to think, which is also confined to space and time. Everything seems to contain everything because we don't get to the bottom of our existence. And according to Rady, we may spend eternity trying to figure out where we come from.
I love this book, it is amazing. I like the way the author tried to show how every discipline of academia is trying to come to the bottom of our existence, but to no avail.
This book can be a good read for philosophers and scientists alike because the author squeezed books worthy of a library into this small book. It can be difficult to understand the book for someone who is new to the topics tackled in it.
I give this book a four out of five rating because, although it is professionally edited, it is too small for the information it has squeezed in between the pages.
