Before you is a unique book-reflection on man, consciousness and the Universe. The author is a professional astronomer, senior researcher at the P.K. Sternberg Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov. Unlike most popular science publications, this book is not limited to a story about the successes of modern physics and cosmology. After the panegyric to modern science, the author makes a sharp turn in the narrative and shows the fundamental limitations of the cognitive activity of consciousness, rooted in its biological nature. The limitations that the language of science inevitably inherits are mathematics. A close look at mathematics demonstrates its helplessness as a tool in solving fundamental questions of science. Moving away from traditional scientific cliches and turning to the experience of the East, the author speaks of qualitatively different possibilities of cognitive activity of consciousness. The book makes you look at yoga, religion, science from a different angle and unexpectedly see between them what is common, which often slipped away with a superficial emotional look.
