Bøker av David Sayre

How time, ignorance, and death intersect, highlighting unique innovations and discoveries that offer hope and a moral compass.What makes time, ignorance, and death inevitable? Do they have something in common? A pioneer of reducing that deadly "something" leads a short tour of where it's found and displaced. Sayre's tour visits some unusual places. An immigrant neighborhood builds a microgrid. A remote radio telescope solves how to detect intelligence in the universe. A quantum mystery is resolved by our own incomplete view. All are related. The tour's destination is a moral compass and hope in tragedy.

There we meet amazing examples of good and evil, interwoven with contemporary scientists own searches for meaning, explaining faith and love, truth and life, time and order and beauty. The things we hold sacred are real, after all. For readers unfulfilled by either conventional religions or scientific materialism; parents, teachers, and leaders struggling to reconcile peace with power and beauty with truth.

A companion work to Flatland (Sayre/Emberley, 2014), the Dialogues offer meaning, comfort, and direction to a world at risk of losing its faith.

These have made him expert in reducing ¿entropy,¿ the measure of both decay and ignorance¿and that is how scientists would detect intelligent life, anywhere in the universe.
