The Universe in a Single Atom
The Universe in a Single Atom: The Convergence of Science and Spirituality
A personal synthesis of his relationship with science, from a childhood curiosity about clocks and the Potala's telescope to the Mind & Life meetings. It surveys quantum physics, cosmology, evolution and the neuroscience of consciousness, and compares them with Buddhist epistemology and philosophy of mind. It argues that Buddhism must revise its empirical claims when science refutes them and sets ethical limits to biotechnology.
