Rumi and Modern Scientific Views

Rumi and Modern Scientific Views considers Rumis work from a different
point of view. Jalaladdin Rumi (1207-1273), one of the greatest geniuses
of mankind and the most eminent mystical poet of any age and all time,
has composed over 70,000 verses of poetry. His work has been translated into
many languages and is now one of the most widely read poets in America;
the more people learned about Rumi, the more they appreciated his depth
and were encouraged to dig deeper. This book is also trying to dig deeper;
although Rumis name stands for love and ecstatic fl ight into the infi nite,
he has also poetized his scientifi c and philosophic concepts and doctrines,
which today, after centuries, are established and understood as well known
scientifi c facts. This book attempts to fi ll in the non-recognized gaps, mainly
in the history of physical sciences, covering some important topics in modern
scientifi c views.
