Born on a mud floor in Bengal in the midst of the struggle for Indian independence, Dr Bhaumik survived colonial oppression, cyclone, epidemic, and famine to earn a PhD in physics from IIT and a Sloane Foundation fellowship for postdoctoral work at UCLA. Later he achieved international recognition and success as a co-inventor of the laser technology that made LASIK eye surgery possible. He has been awarded an honoray DSc degree for lifetime academic achievement from IIT.
Dr Bhaumik lives in Southern California.
Four hundred years after science overthrew faith, science is itself proving to be a false god, leaving in its wake a disillusioned and despondent mankind.
In Code Name God, Mani Bhaumik, renowned physicist and one of the pioneers of the LASIK eye surgery technology, draws on the field of quantum physics and cosmology to answer the fundamental questions about faith. He demonstrates how both spirituality and science are essential for human beings and how one can strike a perfect balance between the two. The author, who as a youngster lived in Mahatma Gandhi's camp, details his incredible rags-to-riches journey and his equally remarkable search for meaning in life, which make for a motivational saga.
Insightful and enriching, Code Name God provides a simple and easy-to-understand scientific approach to faith and the realization of god
