Description
Blending the sweep of modern physics with a daring philosophical question, this popular-science work traces the path from Newtonian mechanics to the counterintuitive logic of quantum theory, culminating in ideas such as Bell’s inequalities. Along the way, it explores how the “bizarre but actual” behaviors of elementary particles—revealed through experiments and theory—can be used to frame what consciousness might be, and how it could relate to the physical world. Rather than offering easy answers, the book invites readers to think rigorously about measurement, information, and the limits of explanation. With a clear, investigative style, Evan Harris Walker turns the tools of physics into a lens for examining one of science’s most persistent mysteries.
