Reference excerpt

Origin is a 2017 mystery thriller novel by American author Dan Brown and the fifth installment in his Robert Langdon series, following Inferno. The book was released on October 3, 2017.

Plot

Edmond Kirsch, a billionaire philanthropist, computer scientist, futurist, and strident atheist, attends a meeting at the Santa Maria de Montserrat Abbey in Catalonia (Spain) with Roman Catholic Bishop Antonio Valdespino, Jewish Rabbi Yehuda Köves, and Muslim Imam Syed al-Fadl, members of the Parliament of the World's Religions. Kirsch informs them that he has made a revolutionary discovery that he plans to release to the public in a month. The book hints that Kirsch's discovery, if revealed, would severely undermine religious beliefs. Kirsch decided to inform them out of respect, despite his hatred of organized religion, which he blames for his mother's death. The three religious leaders learn that Kirsch will be making his discovery public in three days' time, prompting Valdespino to demand that he stop. Kirsch hosts an event at the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao in order to reveal his discovery. Among those in attendance are Kirsch's former teacher, Robert Langdon, and the Guggenheim's curator Ambra Vidal, the fiancée of the future King of Spain, Prince Julián. The large number of prominent guests receive each a headset through which they communicate with a voice named Winston. Winston is a highly sophisticated and all-knowing artificial intelligence developed by Kirsch himself. After giving Langdon a tour through the Guggenheim museum, Winston leads Langdon to a private meeting with Kirsch, who claims that his presentation will reveal humanity's origins and future, answering humanities' most mysterious questions: "Where do we come from?" and "Where are we going?". During the meeting Kirsch claims that he fears that he puts himself in danger because of the religious controversy of his discovery.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Origin (Brown novel)

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Origin (Brown novel) claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Origin (Brown novel) before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Origin (Brown novel) ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Origin (Brown novel)

In research: Origin (Brown novel) appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Origin (Brown novel) in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Origin (Brown novel) is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2017 American novels, 2017 English-language novels, American mystery novels, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
