Quantum Conversations: With Karen Curry Parker

“The universe was born, not in an implicitly chaotic big bang, but as the first moment of a fine-tuned and ongoing big breath.” Jude Currivan, today’s guest on Quantum Revolution We have been conditioned to believe that the Universe began with a big bang - an explosion that initiated chaos, disruption and, ultimately, lined up a series of random, chaotic events that eventually led to the creation of life on Earth. This assumption forces us to believe that not only is life a serendipitous and random event resulting from the birth of the Universe, we ourselves are simply accidental aspects of this cosmic event. In her new book, The Story of Gaia, Dr. Currivan shares scientific breakthroughs which detail the 13.8-billion-year story of our universe and Gaia, where everything in existence has inherent meaning and evolutionary purpose. Evolution is not driven by random occurrences and mutations, but by profoundly resonant and harmonic interplays of forces and influences, each intelligently informed and guided. Th
