Fourth Nobel Laureate Endorses The Bible According to Einstein
The number of scientists endorsing
the "science bible of the new millennium" continues to grow. The back
cover of The Bible According to Einstein: A Scientific Complement
to the Holy Bible for the
Third Millennium (Jupiter Scientific Publishing, 1999) lists
praiseworthy statements from three Nobel laureates, the President
of the American Anthropological Association, the physicist and
best-selling author Michio Kaku, and
the Chair of the Chemical Sciences of the New York Academy
of Sciences. Now a fourth Nobel laureate, Tsung-Dao Lee (Columbia University) has
endorsed the book, saying that it "provides a delightful
portrayal of the workings of the universe, a universe
governed by natural laws and profound symmetries."
The timing could not be better. Jupiter
Scientific recently sold the rights
to translate the book into Chinese, thereby
making the extraordinary 634-page tome available
to the more than one billion readers
in China. Dr. T. D. Lee, who is Chinese born, is
one of the most respected physicists
in the world. In 1957 at the age of 31, he
became the second youngest scientist
ever to win the Prize. The Nobel committee honored him
for his work on the violation of parity
symmetry – the
fact that the nature does not appear to be the same
when viewed in a mirror. "We are extremely please that
a scientist of Dr. Lee's stature has praised the book," said
Gezhi Weng of Jupiter Scientific Publishing.
The Bible According to Einstein adopts
the structure and language of the Holy Bible but replaces
religion with science. A history of the Universe, Earth and life
is narrated in its "Old Testament" while the laws of nature
and the principles of science are presented in its "New Testament." Dr. Lee
joins a second Chinese born Nobel laureate, Samuel
Ting (now at MIT), who describes the book as "fascinating."
