DESCRIPTION:
They present the quantum mystery honestly, with an emphasis on what is and what is not speculation. Critically important problems in our understanding are interestingly discussed with perception, depth, and careful objectivity." --Charles Townes, winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics "Lively and thought-provoking." --The Washington Times "This book is unique. Rosenblum and Kuttner therefore turn to exploring consciousness itself--and encounter quantum physics. Every interpretation of quantum physics encounters consciousness. Free will and anthropic principles become crucial issues, and the connection of consciousness with the cosmos suggested by some leading quantum cosmologists is mind-blowing. Quantum Enigma explores what that implies and why some founders of the theory became the foremost objectors to it. The clearest expositions I have ever seen." --George Greenstein, Professor of Astronomy, Amherst College "An immensely important and exciting book." --Raymond Chester Russ, editor of Journal of Mind and Behavior "Exposes the hidden skeleton in
Bruce Rosenblum is Professor of Physics and former Chairperson of the Physics Department at the University of California, Santa Cruz.Fred Kuttner is a former industrial physicist and now devotes most of his time to teaching and researching physics at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
Natures greatest trick Stephen Balbach "Quantum Enigma" opens with a colleague's objection to the book: "Though what you are saying is correct, presenting this information to non-scientists is the intellectual equivalent of allowing children to play with loaded guns."Visualizing the quantum enigma is not difficult, the authors reveal it with stories and diagrams that. Quantum Theory for Everyone Harold McFarland Quantum mechanics is one of the most tested and verified theories of modern physics. However, there are several parts of quantum mechanics that can only be described as bizarre. Of course the physicists discuss and argue the implications of the strange behavior of the quantum world but very few average people fully understand th. A Fascinating Inquiry Into An Enigma Of A "Mysterious World" Dr. Jonathan Dolhenty First, I want assure readers who are not physicists, and even those who are not science-enabled, that they have nothing to fear in reading "Quantum Enigma: Physics Encounters Consciousness." The book is written for the ordinary literate reader and no understanding of physics or general science is assumed by the authors (both phy
I know of no other which so artfully tackles two of the greatest mysteries of modern science, quantum mechanics and consciousness. The authors' treatment of this thorny and controversial issue is honest, wide-ranging and immensely readable. The book contains some of the clearest expositions I have ever seen of the strange and paradoxical nature of the quantum world. It has long been suspected that these mysteries are somehow related. Critically important problems in our understanding are interestingly discussed with perception, depth, and careful objectivity."--Charles Townes, winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics, inventor ofthe laser, and Templeton Prize recipient"Employing the simplest, correct demonstration of the Great Quantum Dilemma that I have ever seen, Rosenblum and Kuttner starkly expose t
