Five Questions: Answers to Life's Greatest Mysteries

From his earliest of days, Mr. Benguhe took great fascination in the world around him, both natural and technological; always seeking to understand reality's underlying principles. This led him to pursue engineering studies, obtaining a BSEE with a specialization in Coherent optics. While working in the holography lab at university, he came to appreciate both the power and intrinsic beauty behind a scientific approach to reality. However, as a recipient of a classical education, he was also exposed to the foundations of the western thought and the systematic study of questions related to our existence, Philosophy. It was during a class on Quantum Mechanics that the idea first came to Mr. Benguhe that the answers to deep philosophic questions need not be counter to scientific principles. At that point, Mr. Benguhe first began his attempt to reconcile the two. He married in 2000 and his daughter, Larisa, was born in 2002. He soon began to think about a legacy to leave Larisa, one that would share all that he had come to know. This book is the culmination of that endeavor. Mr. Benguhe currently works as a senior technologist in the alternative energy field.
