Description

Explore the connection between faith and physics in Practical Mystic. This book examines the life of A.S. Eddington (1882-1944), a renowned pioneer in astrophysics and relativity who was also a devout Quaker. While many believe science and religion are at odds, Eddington's life provides a model for how these two worlds can coexist. Through the lens of Eddington's career, the text demonstrates how scientific and religious values can interact and overlap. As a world-class scientist and a popularizer of science, Eddington maintained his religious beliefs without compromising his professional integrity. This biography offers a unique look at a man who defended the relationship between science and faith, providing a historical perspective on how one can pursue rigorous scientific discovery while remaining deeply spiritual.
