Love This Beautiful Musical Mathematical Universe is written by Lena Rabi Capapas. I was delighted reading every paragraph in this book. Although the philosophical and scientific contents are not new to me, I think her explanation of the concepts is remarkably clear and coherent. This work is a must-read for anyone who desires to graduate in these subjects at the university level. The author is a physician who decided to shift focus from medicine to a new horizon. I can easily relate with her because I am also a physician who felt called to greater freedom to launch out into the deep. Especially when I was reading the last chapter, on the power of love, I felt a kind of comradeship with her as we seemed to be on a common wavelength.
This book is about vibrations in the universe and how they are integral to all aspects of our lives. The theme is found in the history of philosophy, mysticism, medicine, science, mathematics, music, etc. In this digital age, almost all electronic gadgets function on scientific principles involving resonance. As the writer journeys through history, she deals with contradictions and questions raised by Planck’s constant, Einstein’s equation, and many other topics that I cannot mention in this short review. I appreciate how she delves into the physics and metaphysics of vibrations and electromagnetic fields. Overall, she seems to offer a comprehensive of all that is taught in physics at the university level.
A uniqueness of this book is that she relates science to philosophy and spirituality. I liked her description of “the observer effect” on what we observe. I was also intrigued by the concept of “quantum entanglement” (wherein things that have an interaction remain connected forever) and tried to apply it to mysticism. The chapter on the holographic universe left me astounded. Her exposition of black holes is excellent, and it stimulated my imagination. She has wonderful explanations for the warm hands of friendship and the red face of a child after playing (with the help of electrons in physics). Similarly, the author applies wave-particle duality to the risen body of Christ. She relates all this to the harmonics of love.
Such interdisciplinary studies are becoming a trend, and I have read several books on these themes. Nevertheless, I must acknowledge that the quality of this work surpasses all that I have read in the past. I have only one criticism. Although Love This Beautiful Musical Mathematical Universe is very informative, it seems to be incomplete without an equal emphasis on analysis and original reflections by the author. I think there is a possibility to do so, from the perspective of spirituality. Lena has dealt with it only briefly. The topic is very relevant, and I await another volume focusing on her own thoughts.
For all the reasons mentioned above, I rate this book 3 out of 4 stars. Although I found a few grammatical errors, they do not impact the quality of the read and could simply be stylistic preferences. I am happy to recommend it to students of science, philosophers, and mystics.
