Publisher's Synopsis
COSMOLOGOS collects sixty essays written between 2007 and 2020, with a focus on cosmological matters and our perception of reality as the author (an innovative poet and thinker) has come to view it over the years. In his own words, "I consider it a primer for both young and old minds alike, sharing the essence of my poetic viewpoint for readers to compare and contrast against their own views and ideas. At once playful and serious, clocking in at just over 200 pages, you will find intense speculations as well as sober musings on our perceptions of the cosmos and the nature of this singularity we've all been written into from an archaic and mysterious process long lost in the shrouded mists of time." This collection of musings and ruminations on space and time and our place in it contains essays updating and expanding upon the nature of our solar system, our consciousness, the implicit meaning of numbers, the history of robots, a unique perspective on a possible time machine, deep insights into SETI and a proposed resolution to the Fermi Paradox, wild speculations about the habitable zone, our asteroid belt, the underlying implication of the tree of knowledge, and the strange attractors found within the paradoxical nature of the quantum realm, all of which the author plays fast and loose with in order to get readers excited about the prospects of using their own imaginations to make sense of the miraculous world we all live on together.
