Alan Lightman - Probable Impossibilities + other work (25 books) ALAN LIGHTMAN (b. 1948) is an American physicist, novelist, essayist, and educator known for exploring the intersection of the sciences and the humanities, especially the dialogue between science, philosophy, religion, and spirituality. He has served on the faculties of Harvard University and MIT, and is currently a Professor of the Practice of the Humanities at MIT, where he was the first person to receive a dual faculty appointment in science and the humanities. In his scientific research, Lightman has made contributions to the theory of astrophysical processes under extreme temperatures and densities. In particular, his work has focused on relativistic gravitation theory, the structure and behavior of accretion disks, stellar dynamics, radiative processes, and relativistic plasmas. He has been praised for non-fiction works that make science accessible to the general public. These include the award-winning ORIGINS: THE LIVES AND WORLDS OF MODERN COSMOLOGISTS (1990), an ambitious work distilled from interviews conducted with twenty-seven cosmologists that explores the nonscientific factors that shape the scientific enterprise. Other notable works include ANCIENT LIGHT: OUR CHANGING VIEW OF THE UNIVERSE (1991), which traces science's evolving perspective on the universe, and TIME FOR THE STARS (1992), which aims to render astrophysics accessible to the lay reader. THE DISCOVERIES (2005) chronicles twenty-four great discoveries of 20th-century science — everything from the theory of relativity to mapping the structure of DNA — and charts the intellectual and emotional landscape of the time, the human drama of discovery, and the significance and impact of the work. Many of his books and essays written for a general audience explore the emotional and philosophical questions raised by recent scientific discoveries. He looks at the dialogue between science and religion; the conflict between our human desire for permanence and the impermanence of nature; the possibility that our universe is simply an accident; the manner in which modern technology has separated us from direct experience of the world; and our resistance to the view that our bodies and minds can be explained by scientific logic and laws. His most recent work, PROBABLE IMPOSSIBILITIES (2021), is a collection of meditative essays on the possibilities — and impossibilities — of nothingness and infinity, and how our place in the cosmos falls somewhere in between. Last but certainly not least, Lightman began a successful second career as a novelist with the publication of the international bestselling novel EINSTEIN'S DREAMS (1993), a fictional collage of stories dreamed by the world-renowned physicist as he works on his theory of relativity in 1905. It was praised in the New York Times for creating "a magical, metaphysical realm ... as in Calvino's work, the fantastical elements of the stories are grounded in precise, crystalline prose." His novel THE DIAGNOSIS (2000) is a disturbing examination of our modern obsession with speed, information, and money, and what this obsession has done to our minds and our spirits. It was a finalist for the National Book Award.
