Join Mesa Refuge founder Peter Barnes and Jonathan Halliwell at the Point Reyes Presbyterian Church as they discuss Peter’s new book, A Symphony of Smithereens: How Our Universe Composes Itself.
In this graceful homage to Pythagoras and Einstein, Peter hitchhikes through 13.8 billion years of cosmic history — and 2,600 years of human fascination with it — to find the invisible roots of our universe’s unfolding. Hints: (1) math, music and chance are involved, (2) super-natural forces aren’t, and (3) the actual process is simple, but not too simple.
With clarity and brevity, Peter describes the key ingredients of our universe and the invisible forces that drive them. He then weaves everything into a credible explanation of how our universe composes itself. His hypothesis will resonate with non-scientists and scientists alike.
