The universe within which we exist - from where and why did all this come about? Whose hand or will created it, by whose written or unwritten laws it is evolving? For what purpose do we exist in this world? What further fate awaits it? Probably, each person thought about these questions at least once in his life. During the course of our lives, the acuteness of these issues, against the backdrop of everyday routine, either weakens, or we get content with intermediate, incomplete pictures of the universe. In particular, most of us, at a certain stage in life, take the side of a scientific, or a religious view of the world. The scientific worldview is based upon (although it is not a universal rule) a belief in Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution, and, in many cases, atheism. Religious worldview, in turn, often stops at faith in the creation of our world by God - while avoiding further consideration of all the circumstances of the creation of the universe, in particular, the apparent imperfection of the material world. For example, Gautama Buddha is credited with saying that questions about the origin of our world are idle. Christianity also, in its turn, contains almost no information about the circumstances of our world creation. Further progress in understanding the universe is impossible without the synthesis of scientific and religious approaches. Scientific knowledge can be supplemented and enriched by an open recognition of the fundamental role of consciousness in the universe. Religion, in turn, by its nature does not necessarily intersect with scientific knowledge, but the expanded perspective, supplemented by science, on our world is an undoubted plus for mystically thinking people. Ultimately, the Truth about our world is common to all of us. The author hopes that the original hypotheses presented in this book about the nature of space and time, the driving force of evolution, the role of consciousness and platonic ideas in the formation of the world, will open up a new perspective for the reader to the key questions of the universe.

Auspicium legitur ad sensum, quod requirit aliquem habere imaginationem. Multa insueta sunt quanta est ruina, sic concentu assimilatur. symphonia canentium. Haec symphonia nihil aliud est quam orchestrae munus agitationis. Dum musici harmonice ludunt, melos fluit et fit secundum leges quantitatis mechanicae unda. Attamen, si musici in sync cum inter se non ludunt, symphonia substituitur per cacophoniam (sonitum), quod est simile ruinae functionis fluctus. Certe, quo maior numerus musicorum in orchestra est, tanto difficilior est eorum opera disponere. Sic minus ordinate.

Materia est forma exsistentiae spiritus sui ipsius, impotens ad formas perfectiores et harmonicas incorporandi. Variationes inter mundum corporalem et spiritualem inveniuntur nexus inter particulas primae (torta), et geometria hujus caret deformationibus. Conscientia, quae harmoniam naturam habet ac per consequens, fluctus exsistentiae formas - ideas e cosmo idearum extrahit, easque in nostro mundo involvit (exempli gratia in animantibus — quae nihil aliud sunt quam platonicae formae in corpore; materia corporis). Iustus mirifica altiore lectione et recensio "The Green Door" ab H.G. Wells lucem dat scienti. Legere.

Auspicious read, in the sense that it requires one to have an imagination. Many are unfamiliar with what Quantum collapse is, so actually it's likened to a symphony. This symphony is nothing but a wave function of the orchestra. While the musicians are playing harmoniously, the melody flows and comes to be according to the wave laws of quantum mechanics. However, if the musicians do not play in sync with one another, the symphony is replaced by cacophony (noise), which is analogous to the collapse of the wave function. Certainly, the larger the number of musicians in the orchestra, the harder it is to coordinate their performance. Thus less is orderly.
Not all material particles are tangible (i.e. neutrino), but all material particles behave algorithmically. ---by Andrey Cherepanov
Matter is the form of existence of a selfish spirit, incapable of incorporating more perfect and harmonious forms. The variants between the physical world and the spiritual one are found in connections between the particles of the first (twisted), and the geometry of the latter is devoid of deformations. Consciousness, which has a harmonious nature and, as a consequence, a wave form of existence – extracts ideas from the cosm of ideas, and embodies them in our world (for example, in the living beings – which are nothing but platonic forms embodied in physical matter). Just a wonderful read overall and the recounting of “The Green Door” by H.G. Wells imparts light for one who knows. Read.
‘The Spirit's aspiration for its primordial completeness is unstoppable. The primary driving force of the universe is Love.’
Author/philosopher/scientist Andrey Cherepanov graduated from Perm State Technical University, Perm Krai, Russia with a degree in mathematics, He is an enthusiast of physics, cosmology and religious philosophy. To enhance his ability to resolve or dissect problems, Andrey is an accomplished chess player, having won Russia youth chess championship and the title of chess champion in the states of Kansas and Georgia.
Andrey opens this intensely interesting and thoughtful treatise by posing the question – ‘The universe within which we exist - from where and why did all this come about? Whose hand or will created it, by whose written or unwritten laws it is evolving? For what purpose do we exist in this world? What further fate awaits it? ‘ - a question that is part of every thinking person’s mind that serves as the map to this book’s content.
His Introduction is cogent: ‘Modern science faces a number of fundamental questions, such as the origin of the universe, the mystery of evolution, the enigmatic laws of quantum mechanics, the nature of consciousness, space, and time. On the other hand, similar questions of creation – the origin of the world, the role of man in it, the nature of good and evil – have been the subject matter of concern for many world religions and various kinds of mystical teachings for ages. Interaction and mutual understanding between these two fields of knowledge leave much to be desired. Traditionally, physicists do not embrace mysticism readily. The field of interest of scientists is delineated by the boundaries of the so-called "rigorous science". However, the objective course of events leads to the fact that, as it develops, science inevitably enters the mystical realm. The theory of evolution is a clear example of a boundary zone in which both these spheres of knowledge overlap. Another instance of a border region involves the question pertaining to the nature of consciousness. Despite the circumspect attitude of science towards the issues of mysticism – it is difficult to overestimate the explanatory power of science. Modern physical theories are a treasure trove of information, which can be used to shed light on mystical questions as well. It can be said that, at present, a golden vein exists between mysticism and physics. The purpose of this book is to examine the key issues of the universe in an all-encompassing view – from a "scientific-mystical" perspective. This is possible because modern science has come in close proximity to the spiritual boundaries of the world. Also, there is an opposite connection in this regard – adequate philosophical intuitions can lead to promising directions when it comes to physical theory.’
In a most accessible (and wise) manner Aubrey discusses why atheism will eventually reach a dead end in answering ‘Whither the Universe’, a very fine exploration of physics, quantum mechanics and platonic ideas, the evolution theory of the origin of the Universe, and an enlightening look at the description of physical and spiritual reality, based on the discoveries of modern physics. And throughout the book are poignant illustrations by Evgeny Tsepkov and Natalia Tasch that solidify Andrey’s points.
This is as sound a synthesis of scientific and religious approaches as has been placed before us. Very highly recommended for all readers.
I certainly have different views about our universe than the author, Andrey Cherepanov. Taking the definition “science” from google it is: Science, noun: the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment. No one observed the “Big Bang” theory, nor can you recreate it by experiment. So it would seem that gasses, or acidic rain, or rocks exploding created “something” to be as “mystical” as the author believes “God created the heavens and the earth” to be “mystical”.
Christians do believe in science, and evolution. The German Shepherd dog evolved around 1899 by Max von Stephanitz. It was a mixture of breeds to develop a work dog for herding sheep. Christians cannot tell how God created something from nothing. But neither can experts explain how Conservation of Angular Momentum does not apply to some of the moons that spin in the wrong direction around Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune. Or other galaxies that spin in the wrong direction.
Andrey Cherepanov writes about the mysteries of our universe in this interesting novel. In it, Cherepanov addresses questions like how it was created, the purpose of our existence, and what the future holds for us all. You’ll find many chapters that focus on specific things like memory and perception, wave function collapse, and platonic ideas. The book also looks back in history and considers the ideas of famous scientists and their experiments/ideas about how they thought the universe worked. At 108 pages it isn’t that long of read which makes it great for those looking for a quick yet informative book. While it is heavy in scientific terms and equations, that shouldn’t deter you from reading it. Cherepanov explains what those terms and equations mean through clever illustrations and examples. If you enjoy learning about science or just want an interesting read you’ll definitely want to check this book out.
A difficult read that found me losing interest right from the start. I found that I had a hard time getting into this book and that it was just too easy for me to put it down and move on to something less boring. The concept of the book was interesting but the method used to get the information across was too educational and I got lost in the information provided. While the author provided some great details, it was just a little on the too much for my brain to handle side. I was on over load from the first chapter and on. I honestly felt like I was back in a college and completely unprepared for the test being handed out. As this was way over my head from the very beginning it would make for a great read for someone with a science degree and an interest in theology.
I honestly do not even want to waste 20 words on this review. I read it to see a different perspective, I saw it, and I disagree. I find it hard to put science and religion together or religious based science ... it’s not for me.
