Quantum Enigma: Physics Encounters Consciousness
by Rosenblum, Bruce and Kuttner, Fred
A Concept So Out There it Scared Einstein Most people, including myself, have never been within ten feet of a book about quantum mechanics; for us it remains shrouded in mystery, even though it is something we live with every day, much like our own brains. Which is one of the key ideas behind this thought-provoking book, which explores the relationship between the greatest mystery of quantum physics and the way we perceive the world. It's heady stuff, but thanks to the way it's written, it stirs curiosity as much as it makes one's head spin. |
