Description
In this engaging collection of public lectures, a celebrated physicist turns his famously incisive mind toward the questions that shape everyday life. He examines the tensions between science and religion, the public’s mistrust of authority, and the enduring appeal of phenomena such as faith healing, extrasensory perception, and flying saucers. Blending skepticism with curiosity, humor with personal reflection, he explores how people form beliefs and how we might think more clearly about a complicated world. The result is an accessible, thought-provoking portrait of a scientist whose intellectual reach extended far beyond the laboratory.
