Summary:
"Biologist Robert Lanza and astronomer Bob Berman re-examine everything we thought we knew about life, death, the universe, and the nature of reality itself. Science tells us with some precision that the universe is 26.8 percent dark matter, 68.3 percent dark energy, and only 4.9 percent ordinary matter, but must confess that it doesnt really know what dark matter is and knows even less about dark energy. Science is increasingly pointing toward an infinite universe but has no ability to explain what that really means. Concepts such as time, space, and even causality are increasingly being demonstrated as meaningless. All of science is based on information passing through our consciousness but science hasn't the foggiest idea what consciousness is, and it cant explain the linkage between subatomic states and observation by conscious observers. Science describes life as an random occurrence in a dead universe but has no real understanding of how life began or why the universe appears to be exquisitely designed for the emergence of life. Biocentrism isnt a rejection of science. Quite the opposite. Beyond Biocentrism challenges us to fully accept the implications of the latest scientific findings in fields ranging from plant biology and cosmology to quantum entanglement and consciousness. By listening to what scientific discoveries are telling us, it becomes increasingly clear that life and consciousness are central to any true understanding of the universe. This forces a fundamental rethinking of everything we thought we knew about life, death, and our place in the universe."--Provided by publisher.
