The Physics of Consciousness: The Quantum Mind and the Meaning of Life

Walker, Evan Harris

How quantum physics will explain the nature of reality and the human mind.. }For decades, neuroscientists, psychologists, and an army of brain researchers have been struggling, in vain, to explain the phenomenon of consciousness. Now there is a clear trail to the answer, and it leads through the dense jungle of quantum physics, Zen, and subjective experience, and arrives at an unexpected destination.In this tour-de-force of scientific investigation, Evan Harris Walker, a pioneer in the science of consciousness, describes the outcome of his fifty-year search for the true nature of reality. Drawing on a deep knowledge of quantum physics and Zen philosophy, Walker shows how the operation of bizarre yet actual properties of elementary particles support a new and exciting theory of reality, based on the principles of quantum physics; a theory that answers questions such as What is the nature of consciousness, of will? What is the source of material reality? and What is God?Clearly written in non-technical, lyrical prose, The Physics of Consciousness is more than just the explanation of a scienceit is a new vision of life. }
