Description

The Accidental Universe: The World You Thought You KnewWith passion and curiosity, Alan Lightman explores the emotional and philosophical questions raised by recent discoveries in science. 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

With passion and curiosity, Alan Lightman explores the emotional and philosophical questions raised by recent discoveries in science. 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.

Behind all of these considerations is the suggestion--at once haunting and exhilarating--that what we see and understand of the world is only a tiny piece of the extraordinary, perhaps unfathomable whole.

Runs small but great quality for the price
Size: 10 Years, Color: Black
I sized up hoping to get something a little bigger to grow into, however this suite runs small. If I had ordered the real size it would be too small. I ordered a 7 for my 6 year old and a 10 for my 8 year old. The size 10 was missing the suspenders and came with a real tie not a bow tie unlike what is in the description.

Old World Charm
Size: 10 Years, Color: Navy Blue, Size: 10 Years, Color: Navy Blue
What a great value! The fit is nice. The bow tie that comes with it doesn't match. We never tried the suspenders. The pocket for the pocket square is very shallow since the white one is sewn in. The highlight is the vest. Buy or borrow a pocket watch. It makes the outfit!

Nice suit

Nice, affordable suit! Surprised how well it fit. 6' 1" 195 lb son wore to prom. Pants were a tad short but he didn't care. Looked sharp.
