Summary
Details

Why do we believe what we believe-and what happens when those beliefs are tested by evidence?

When The Heavens Go Quiet explores the tension between comforting certainty and the often unsettling demands of reason. With clarity and depth, Noah Baer examines how belief systems form, why they persist, and how they can distort-or outright resist-even the most compelling facts. Drawing from neuroscience, evolutionary psychology, and the philosophy of science, this book challenges readers to confront the cognitive and emotional roots of faith, myth, and identity.

Rather than dismissing belief outright, Baer investigates its psychological utility-while making a case for intellectual honesty, falsifiability, and scientific curiosity as tools for navigating the unknown.

For readers willing to trade certainty for truth, When The Heavens Go Quiet offers a rigorous and timely invitation to think more clearly, question more deeply, and live more freely.
