Light Bringer: Cosmic Ouroboros is an original sciencefiction poem that blends theoretical physics with myth, mysticism, and poetic vision. Following the lineage of Harry Martinson’s Aniara, the book weaves a timeless narrative that stretches from dying star systems to the ancient landscapes of Anatolia.
The story unfolds across multiple epochs: from the final transmission of Chief Engineer 1522, sent into the universe from within a steel cylinder through a plasma jet, to the “four jesters” guarding the Tree of Knowledge in the Noima system, and further back to a child in 9600 BCE Anatolia who intuitively maps the cosmos onto cave walls. These interconnected voices form a cyclical meditation on existence, memory, and survival.
Written by a physicist and theoretical astrophysicist, the work integrates concepts such as quantum mechanics, time symmetry, and thermodynamics with the spiritual insight of Anatolian Sufism and the philosophical heritage of ancient Ionian thinkers. Science here is not presented as cold calculation, but as a poetic act of inquiry, an art of explanation and understanding.
With references to figures such as Maxwell and Cramer and enriched by original illustrations, Light-Bringer: Cosmic Ouroboros explores the idea that the end of the universe resides within its beginning. It is a visionary, intellectual manifesto that invites the reader into a looping cosmos where knowledge, consciousness, and hope endlessly renew one another.
"Greetings to the light bringers who will tell the never-ending stories to thousands of worlds..."
"A science-fiction poem stretching from the hidden corners of the universe to the lands of Anatolia...
The stories of those who wander at the edges of Nature, on the verge of extinction,
are revived through existential cries that reach as far as Anatolian soil.
To tell these never-ending stories of the blue-green planet,
a consciousness is required."
