Everything that exists - atoms and cells, energy fields and ecosystems - is constantly processing information. Everything - photons and planets, microbes and mammals - is constantly moving to a goal, advancing from one state to another. Everything - from particles to butterflies - is constantly causing effects in its environment. Everything is mind.
Mind, like life, has its own domains and kingdoms - from the mind-cloud that is matter to mind-bots, mind-pods, et al. We live in a metaverse of mind. This is the message of modern science.
"Varghese explores the basic and critical questions we face concerning this remarkable and wonderful universe. It is written with a deep understanding of philosophy, spirituality, and the complex science involved, yet expressed in a way which is interesting and very understandable to the non-specialist." - Charles H. Townes, Nobel Prize winner and inventor of the laser.
"Though I found myself arguing (...), the issues raised and [the] lucid outline of modern science's framework of understanding, helped me to challenge and refine my own answers to the ultimate questions that each one of us must ask." - Arno Penzias, Nobel Prize winner who established the Big Bang Theory with his co-discovery of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation.
"The year's most intriguing book about God" - Time magazine (on a book co-edited by Varghese with contributions from 24 Nobel Prize-winning scientists).
"Towering and courageous." - Francis S. Collins, Former Director of the National Institutes of Health (on a book co-authored by Varghese and Antony Flew)
