Code name God : the spiritual odyssey of a man of science

Four hundred years after science overthrew faith, science is itself proving to be a false god, leaving in its wake a disillusioned and despondent mankind. In Code Name God, Mani Bhaumik, renowned physicist and one of the pioneers of the LASIK eye surgery technology, draws on the field of quantum physics and cosmology to answer the fundamental questions about faith. He demonstrates how both spirituality and science are essential for human beings and how one can strike a perfect balance between the two. The author, who as a youngster lived in Mahatma Gandhi's camp, details his incredible rags-to-riches journey and his equally remarkable search for meaning in life, which make for a motivational saga. Insightful and enriching, Code Name God provides a simple and easy-to-understand scientific approach to faith and the realization of god. Born on a mud floor in Bengal, India, Dr. Bhaumik grew up in a spiritually profound tradition. He escaped poverty to became a brilliant physicist, co-inventor of the excimer laser, the technology behind LASIK eye surgery, and a successful entrepreneur. But fame and success weren't enough. In this book, he offers us his remarkable rags-to-riches story, his understanding of the true nature of science, and his vision of spirituality as that which gives meaning to our lives.--From publisher description
