People are not the result of a cosmic accident, but of laws of the universe that grant our lives meaning and purpose, says physicist Paul Davies.
British-born cosmologist Paul Davies calls this cosmic fine-tuning the “Goldilocks Enigma.” Like the porridge for the three bears, he says the universe is “just right” for life. Davies is an eminent physicist who’s received numerous awards, including the Templeton Prize and the Faraday Prize from the Royal Society in London. His 1992 book “The Mind of God” has become a classic of popular science writing. But his new book, “The Cosmic Jackpot,” will challenge even the most open-minded readers. Without ever invoking God, Davies argues for a grand cosmic plan. The universe, he believes, is filled with meaning and purpose.
