¿Por qué Plank, el gato de Valentina, no es capaz de atrapar la luz que emite un láser? ¡Acompaña a Valentina y a Plank al mundo de lo diminuto para descubrir las maravillas del mundo cuántico! Valentina the physicist introduces the basic ideas of quantum physics, including the nature of atoms and molecules, photons, waves, energy, and matter, to explain to her cat, Plank, why he cannot catch the light from a laser.

Psychic phenomena involve two mysteries. The first is that the mind appears to have access to information unbound by the ordinary senses or the everyday constraints of space and time. The second is that the mind seems to be able to directly influence matter from a distance. Quantum mechanics has the same two mysteries. In this domain the first is called "nonlocality," and the second is known as the "observer" effect. Are these shared mysteries merely...

What is the fundamental nature of reality? Philosophers and scientists tend to give very different answers to this question. The materialist view of many physicists and scientists tells us that energy and matter are fundamental, implying that physical reality is ultimately what is real. On the other hand, idealists believe that consciousness and the mind are the fundamental reality. Idealists argue that things like particles and brain matter are actually...

Mark Oliver Everett, lead singer of the Eels and son of physicist Hugh Everett, travels America to learn about the father he barely knew. Through the world of quantum mechanics, Everett hopes to understand his father's brilliant but troubled mind.

"Distinguished scholars and scientists at the 128th Summer Convention of the Theosophical Society in America discuss the implications of the near-death experience, as well as revolutionary views on consciousness, including research on psychic abilities such as remote viewing and more!"--Publisher.

When her desperately ill older brother insists that she take him into their mysterious backyard garden, designed by their quantum physicist great uncle, fourteen-year-old Susan discovers that things are not always what they seem.

"In The Undivided Universe, Professor David Bohm, one of the foremost scientific thinkers of the day and one of the most distinguished physicists of his generation, presents a radically different approach to quantum theory. With Basil Hiley, his co-author and long-time colleague, an interpretation of quantum theory is developed which gives a clear, intuitive understanding of its meaning and in which there is a coherent notion of the reality of the...
