Physicist Richard Austin Gudmundsen brings a lifetime of scientific expertise to bear on gospel questions, using Georg Cantor's transfinite mathematics and Einstein's relativity to propose logical frameworks for understanding eternity, God's foreknowledge, the infinite Atonement, and the Creation. Ranging across metaphysics, world philosophy, literature, and scriptural instruments like the Urim and Thummim and Jaredite barges, this speculative treatise aims to help faithful readers bridge the perceived gap between physical theory and revealed truth. A physicist uses Cantor's transfinite math to explain how 'all of time' can be a single point to God. Ever wondered how God can see the future without destroying free agency? A PhD physicist offers a scientific model. Engineering the Jaredite barges: a real scientist reverse-engineers the Book of Ether's mysterious vessels. For the LDS reader who loves both the Doctrine and Covenants and the Discovery Channel. Perfect for an LDS reader with a scientific or engineering bent who enjoys speculative attempts to harmonize physics and mathematics with gospel doctrine.
