[edit] Caesar's Church
Claims that modern science has a great deal more in common with esoteric religious thought than has been commonly credited.
The tradition of modern scientific thought and discovery goes back to the days of the Renaissance, and is generally agreed to have put an end to much mystic, hermetic and gnostic writing about the universe and everything in it. In this all-embracing view of the furthest reaches of science, Benjamin Walker argue that only by referring to these 'obsolete' concepts can anyone begin to make sense of things that are spoken of seriously - but which even their adherents agree cannot be proved. Quarks, quanta, neutrinos, antiparticles, statons and tachyons: the complexity of the concepts seems far from ancient Greek philosophers like Archimedes and Plato, let alone giants such as Newton, Darwin, Pasteur and Einstein. What links them all is not the popular view of scientific detachment and precision, but a willingness to reach for the answers and then discover the methodology - more often than not in an imaginative, almost poetic manner. This fascinating compendium of modern scientific thought is also a study of man's ability to move beyond his immediate surroundings.
