An account of how quantum physics is putting forward ideas that confirm the perceived beliefs of mystics who think the world is an illusion

The mystical writings of the world’s great physicists—now in one eye-opening volume that bridges the gap between science and religion Quantum Questions collects the mystical writings of each of the major physicists involved in the discovery of quantum physics and relativity, including Albert Einstein, Werner Heisenberg, and Max Planck. The selections are written in nontechnical language and will be of interest to scientists and nonscientists alike.

Science has made tremendous advances in overcoming superstition and replacing “revealed truth” with proven factual truth. Quantum mechanics and the Theories of Relativity have contributed immensely to these advances. But, in spite of this, certain absurdities, referred to as the “quantum enigma”, have emerged from the standard interpretation of quantum mechanics. This has been recognized by some physicists, but the absurdities have been largely ignored by most to the detriment of our understanding of the creation, evolution and nature of the universe. Albert Einstein himself felt quantum mechanics was incomplete and spent the last 3 or 4 decades of his life fighting the proponents of the absurdities. It has been claimed that Einstein lost this battle, but the author disagrees and provides proof of the opposite. Einstein may have made slight mistakes in developing his Theories of Relativity, however, that may have unintentionally contributed to the absurdities and the author’s work supports the statement that "Einstein may have been wrong just where most thought he was right and right just where most thought he was wrong." The author provides a new analysis of space and time and corrections to aspects of quantum mechanics and the Theories of Relativity that may eliminate the absurdities. This could provide a new understanding of the birth, evolution and nature of the universe and possible explanations for dark energy and dark matter. This is presented in a manner that can be understood and appreciated by all curious folks, not just physicists, and will help them understand their universe and the amazing things physicists have accomplished.

Argues that the discoveries of twentieth-century physics--relativity and the quantum theory--demand a radical reformulation of the fundamentals of reality and a way of thinking, that is closer to mysticism than materialism.

Sal Restivo's book is a major achievement in the sociology of science and mathematics. It is exciting to read and constitutes a creative, wide-ranging exploration of the connections between physics and mysticism, between the natural science and the humanities. Of particular interest is his attempt to show the emergence of abstraction and of formal disciplines in science by relating them to the structure of social interests in society. All told, this book challenges the separation of C.P. Snow's two cultures' and is an original attempt to overcome the chasms between the natural sciences, the humanities, and the social sciences. The implications of the book's content certainly go far beyond its title.' Prof. W. Heydebrand, New York University

Author discusses his theories on how to synthesize the basic tenets of physics and Eastern mysticism in order to present a new vision of reality.

The new book Mysticism & Physics self help inner guide to meditation , inner being , inner consciousness , non being body incorporeal , awareness into the law of eternity , Mysticism means inner science the search of inner mystery and reality of an organic unity, through scientific factual path such as meditation silence love , or any path that take you into a mindless dimension singing dancing painting sculpting running etc that centered you into your inner being and consciousness awareness , once you are centered into your inner being simultaneous you are centered into the all existence that means consciousness non being incorporeal body awareness into the law of eternity , and physics means knowledge of nature is a search to understand how the universe behave through all of is intrinsic law , hide to human eyes , what you see the matter part of the universe is only 5 per cent of the universal body a pale shadow of an hide reality that is 95 per cent , physics studies search time and space and all is hide entities forces , finally physics and mysticism converge merge together in many circumstances and here in the new book on mysticism and physics is explain clear those circumstances were the two science converge and melt merge together in a mystical union ....Angelo Aulisa welcome
