Lightman proposes a compromise that respects both spirituality and science: A sentient being created the laws of physics which subsequently birthed earth and mankind. Humor, prose and science (Lightman is an astrophysicist at Harvard) combine in this amazing, sometimes philosophical, journey through the creation of space and time. Philosophers, scientists and lovers of a well-crafted story will revel in this truly remarkable read.
