In Mysteries Of the First Instant, Daniel Friedmann takes us on a journey through time and space to explain what happened at the moment before the universe was created. We dive into a world of particles, forces, scientific theories and religious documents as the author studies what might have happened in the first instant.

As an engineering physicist, Daniel Friedmann provides plenty of data on scientific subjects. He intelligently starts the book with a beautiful story as an introduction and a friendly dialogue where plenty of complex questions are answered. This is for the general reader to feel a growing interest and curiosity for this mystery from the eyes of a child.

I was amazed to learn about the different forces of the particles in the universe, the order of time, spiritual time vs physical time, and soul dimensions vs world dimensions. Readers can also expect to read conclusions revolving around theories of the universe from renowned and not so known scientists who have contributed to science. The author compares scientific and religious propositions of the first instant of the universe, for example using the Hebrew alphabet and numerical values of the letters to explain some mysterious phenomena.

I felt a bit disconnected in chapter 7 because until then, every chapter seemed to be related to the previous one or at least summarized the information. So I suddenly noticed a radical turn that I didn't quite know how to take: Is the author asking me to consider this a transition or an isolated chapter? So it wasn't until a good introduction to Part 2, in chapter 14, that I started feeling reoriented again.

The book is well structured and supported by figures, glossary, index, and references. The figures along with the explanations offer great interaction with the reader, for example, where he marks off space where the universe is enclosed to help us visualise the universe as something infinite, yes, but also something measurable using the information we have gathered for decades to explain the qualities and behaviours of particles.

Displaying the editor's name on the book cover says a lot of good things about the author. She honestly did a great job. There are no typo, spelling or grammar errors in this 296-page book. I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars because the author organised the information and he took the writing style into consideration.

There is scientific and religious content to explain the mysteries of the universe. I recommend this book if you want to deepen your knowledge about the very first instant before the Creation as we have known it so far.
