RE: Quantum Physics books
Hi there,
Just a warning. I've had an interest in quantum physics for years (ever since I read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintainace by Robert Pirsig - not a physics book but it grabs the interest) but I have to say that, fascinated as I am, I still find it incomprehensible. The vast majority of books seem to require an immense knowledge of mathematics and physics far beyond my capabilities. My advice is to search the web (just put quantum physics for beginners in your search engine) and you will possibly find something useful.
By the way, ain't seen the film. Any good?
Regards, Ian.
RE: Quantum Physics books
I just started reading "Hyperspace" , by Michio Kaku. Its all about parallel universes and such. But, it was writtin in 1993, and he says things like, "the higher dimensions are impossible to see", which I disagree with. What we know about the mind now is different than in 1993, and "what the bleep" shows that we can concieve these higher dimensions, we just may not be concieving them.
But one thing the book says that I really like, is that everything in nature can be unified and explained through one equation, which we havent discovered yet. But, the whole idea of hyperspace and higher dimensions is that all things are unified. So, spirituality, and science are very much alike, yet there were small gaps in this book.
I would like to check out that new book that Sharon mentioned. Its awesome, these days the most advanced scientists are focusing on this spiritual and scientific convergence.

Thanks. Anything that gets me through the mire is gonna be helpful. I still can't get over the idea that the very stuff that we are all made of (and, indeed, everything in the known universe) is actually made up of things that can't be provedto exist at all, or am I misunderstanding the whole basis of quantum physics? Persigs book (even though only a small part was devoted to all this) actually scared me a bit when I first read it (albeit 30 years ago or more). Any more thoughts on this?

Hi There,
thanks for the suggestions of books, I'll check out Hyperspace, it sounds interesting...
Houseboy - What the bleep is an excellent movie and well worth seeing. it really makes it simple and really creates a feeling of "Wow, just what are we capable of if all this is true," and the scientific understanding of how we create our own reality - COMPLETELY!!
also, back to what Elyezual was saying, i wonder if the thing the book was saying about the fact we can all be unified and explained through one equation is anything to do with what Drunvelo was discovering in "The Flower Of Life" books. Have you read them / done the course. It all about the scientific explaination of how the universe exists and how we are all exactly the same thing....... i think its based on fibonacci spirals?? or something like that. its basically to do with sacred geometry which i think is fascinating!!

I know these are not books but...
