As the crowd stood and applauded for the neurophysiologist Du
Bois-Reymond's lecture on August 14, 1872, they did not know that
his lecture on the seven riddles of the universe would be long
remembered. Scientists at the time believed that science could
unlock all of the mysteries of the universe. However, the
scientific revolution of the early 20th century fueled by
relativity and quantum mechanics would upend the scientific world
confirming Du Bois-Reymond's insights. This book explores the
brilliance of Du Bois-Reymond's life and work and a vastly expanded
scientific understanding of these riddles through the modern
disciplines of physics, chemistry, and biology. Despite the
progress, underlying metaphysical notions still haunt the riddles.
Utilizing notions from Whitehead's Process Philosophy, the author
delves into the underlying structure of our universe and outlines
the nature of the deity that emerges. Part two of this book
examines the riddles consequent demands on theology and religion
through the lens of the extraordinary teacher, philosopher, and
theologian William DeWitt Hyde. The author clarifies notions about
miracles, immortality, and wisdom. This book takes the reader on a
vivid, imaginative journey towards unraveling the mysteries of our
existence, roles in society, and personal loyalties.
