About the Book

How does the cosmos do something it has long been thought that only gods could achieve? How does an inanimate universe generate stunning new forms and unbelievable new powers without a Creator? How does the cosmos create? That's the central question of a book that in its original edition was called profound, extraordinary, provocative, mind-bending, and daring. Author Howard Bloom takes you on a scientific expedition into the secret heart of a cosmos you've never seen. Not just any cosmos. An electrifyingly inventive cosmos. An obsessive-compulsive cosmos. A driven, ambitious cosmos. A cosmos of colossal shocks. A cosmos of screaming, stunning surprise. A cosmos that breaks five of science's most sacred laws. Yes, five. At the end of this intellectual thrill-ride is a whole new theory of the beginning, middle, and end of the universe-the Bloom toroidal model, also known as the big bagel theory-which explains two of the biggest mysteries in physics- dark energy and why, if antimatter and matter are created in equal amounts, there is so little antimatter in this universe. Called "truly awesome" by Nobel Prize-winner Dudley Herschbach, this paperback edition of The God Problem will pull you in with the irresistible attraction of a black hole and spit you out again enlightened with the force of a big bang. Be prepared to have your mind blown.

About the Author :
HOWARD BLOOM has been called "the Darwin, Newton, Einstein, and Freud of the 21st century" and "the next Stephen Hawking." He is the author of The Lucifer Principle- A Scientific Expedition into the Forces of History ("mesmerizing"--The Washington Post); Global Brain- The Evolution of Mass Mind from the Big Bang to the 21st Century ("reassuring and sobering"--The New Yorker); and The Genius of the Beast- A Radical Re-Vision of Capitalism ("impressive, stimulating, and tremendously enjoyable."--James Fallows, National Correspondent, the Atlantic Monthly). A past visiting scholar at New York University, Bloom is the founder of the International Paleopsychology Project, founder of the Space Development Steering Committee (a group that includes astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Edgar Mitchell), and is currently co-designing a multi-planetary mission at Caltech. He has appeared on Good Morning America, the CBS Morning News, CBS Nightwatch, CNN, the BBC, and over one hundred other media outlets.

Review :
""If Howard Bloom is only 10 percent right, we'll have to drastically revise our notions of the universe. . . . [His] argument will rock your world." -BARBARA EHRENREICH, National Magazine Award winner and author of Nickel and Dimed "Enthralling. Astonishing. Written with the panache of the Great Blondin turning somersaults on the rope above Niagara. Profound, extraordinarily eclectic, and crazy. The most exciting cliff-hanger of a book I can remember reading." -JAMES BURKE, Creator and host of seven BBC-TV series, including Connections"Bloody hell. . . . What a truly extraordinary book. I'm gobsmacked. It's a fast-paced, highly readable, and deeply researched thriller-documentary that grapples with the big issues of the universe. . . . Food for the brain." -FRANCIS PRYOR, President of the Council for British Archaeology, author of Britain BC "For those of us who do not invoke god(s) to explain things, there is a challenge--where did the complexity of the physical and natural world come from? . . . This deep, provocative, spectacularly well-written book provides some answers. . . . A wonderful book." -ROBERT SAPOLSKY, MacArthur Foundation "genius grant" winner and author of Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers"Strong. Like a STEAM ROLLER. Impressive. Great." -RICHARD FOREMAN, MacArthur Foundation "genius grant" winner and founder of the Ontological-Hysteric Theater"A deeply engrossing and mind-bending meld of philosophy and science, written with great clarity, humor, and daring." -CHARLES SIEBERT, Contributing writer, New York Times Sunday Magazine"Truly awesome. . . . Bursting with insights and ideas, delivered with delightful verve and zest. . . . A tantalizing, fresh new view of the cosmos for humankind."-DUDLEY HERSCHBACH, Winner of the 1986 Nobel Prize in Chemistry
