This mysterious component, which Einstein called a "cosmological constant," would eventually work its way into his world-shattering theory of relativity. In this way, explains acclaimed science writer Corey S. Powell, Einstein was creating a formula for a new kind of "sci/religion," one in which God was a factor, denoted by the Greek letter Lambda, and one that would pave the way for an entirely new gnostic era in the history of human spirituality.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><i>Kirkus Reviews</i> Provocative, securely grounded in contemporary theories of physics, and worth pondering.<br><br><i>Scientific American</i> A delight to read....Provides an unusually graceful account of the history of cosmology.<br><br>Carl Zimmer author of <i>Evolution</i> and <i>Parasite Rex</i> Powell is one of our finest science reporters....This is a book of eloquence and passion.<br><br>John Horgan author of <i>The End of Science</i> and <i>The Undiscovered Mind</i> A splendid, startling argument that the greatest religious issue of our time is actually a 'scientific' problem -- the quest to discover the mysterious energy that sparked cosmic creation and that may control our ultimate destiny.<br>
