Book Description
Courageous scientists challenge the dominant paradigm of reality. Why are they so brave and what does their research reveal? What is reality? Is there more than we know from our five senses? Vanguard scientists believe there is more than we see so they formulate a non-materialist paradigm that expands human potential, to include mind and matter interaction. Since going against the dominant worldview provokes opposition, this book explores the personal backgrounds of the scientists to find out why they are so courageous. We learn that there is another dimension that allows for enhanced abilities. Based on interviews conducted by Gayle Kimball, The Mysteries of Reality: Dialogues with Visionary Scientists reports on the current research and personal characteristics of visionaries from around the world.

The Mystery of Reality
Author: Christopher G. Smith
Publisher: Troubador Publishing Ltd
ISBN: 1780883358
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 249
Book Description
This book is life-changing and will challenge your concept of who you are. One of the aims of The Mystery of Reality is to explore the concept of what it means to be a ‘self’. This is a process that is far from straightforward and is paradoxical. When you become aware of the issues that affect the concept of a ‘self,’ you come to realise that life can be lived from two perspectives that may be viewed as authentic or inauthentic.Authentic living can be achieved through a process of faith which may be viewed as a commitment to what is of ultimate concern. This is embryonic within the timeless spiritual reality we call love that seeks expression psychophysically within the context of everyday living in time and space. This enables you to access the courage to be yourself. However, life is complex and reality is such that it is difficult to live permanently from a perspective that is completely authentic.Distinguished authors, such as Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris, have published books in recent years with the specific purpose of promoting atheism and denigrating religious faith as an irrational process. Whilst acknowledging many of the arguments that they make in challenging the concept of a theistic God, this book makes a case for religious faith that is not based on theistic beliefs, does not rely on revealed truth and is consistent with current scientific thinking about the nature of the universe. It is a radical approach which combines the eastern concept of the selflessness of consciousness with the western concept of faith as ultimate concern. The Mystery of Reality seeks to establish a rational foundation for religious faith that makes it intelligible to people living in the twenty-first century. It addresses issues which are of fundamental importance to our happiness and the way life is lived.

The Romance of Reality
Author: Bobby Azarian
Publisher: BenBella Books
ISBN: 1637740441
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
Why do we exist? For centuries, this question was the sole province of religion and philosophy. But now science is ready to take a seat at the table. According to the prevailing scientific paradigm, the universe tends toward randomness; it functions according to laws without purpose, and the emergence of life is an accident devoid of meaning. But this bleak interpretation of nature is currently being challenged by cutting-edge findings at the intersection of physics, biology, neuroscience, and information theory—generally referred to as “complexity science.” Thanks to a new understanding of evolution, as well as recent advances in our understanding of the phenomenon known as emergence, a new cosmic narrative is taking shape: Nature’s simplest “parts” come together to form ever-greater “wholes” in a process that has no end in sight. In The Romance of Reality, cognitive neuroscientist Bobby Azarian explains the science behind this new view of reality and explores what it means for all of us. In engaging, accessible prose, Azarian outlines the fundamental misunderstanding of thermodynamics at the heart of the old assumptions about the universe’s evolution, and shows us the evidence that suggests that the universe is a “self-organizing” system, one that is moving toward increasing complexity and awareness. Cosmologist and science communicator Carl Sagan once said of humanity that “we are a way for the cosmos to know itself.” The Romance of Reality shows that this poetic statement in fact rests on a scientific foundation and gives us a new way to know the cosmos, along with a riveting vision of life that imbues existence with meaning—nothing supernatural required.

Basic Structures of Reality
Author: Colin McGinn
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199909539
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
In Basic Structures of Reality, Colin McGinn deals with questions of metaphysics, epistemology, and philosophy of mind from the vantage point of physics. Combining general philosophy with physics, he covers such topics as the definition of matter, the nature of space, motion, gravity, electromagnetic fields, the character of physical knowledge, and consciousness and meaning. Throughout, McGinn maintains an historical perspective and seeks to determine how much we really know of the world described by physics. He defends a version of "structuralism": the thesis that our knowledge is partial and merely abstract, leaving a large epistemological gap at the center of physics. McGinn then connects this element of mystery to parallel mysteries in relation to the mind. Consciousness emerges as just one more mystery of physics. A theory of matter and space is developed, according to which the impenetrability of matter is explained as the deletion of volumes of space. McGinn proposes a philosophy of science that distinguishes physics from both psychology and biology, explores the ontology of energy, and considers the relevance of physics to seemingly remote fields such as the theory of meaning. In the form of a series of aphorisms, the author presents a metaphysical system that takes laws of nature as fundamental. With its broad scope and deep study of the fundamental questions at the heart of philosophy of physics, this book is not intended primarily for specialists, but for the general philosophical reader interested in how physics and philosophy intersect.

Schrodinger's Kittens
Author: John Gribbin
Publisher: Hachette UK
ISBN: 1780225997
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
Accessible exploration of one of the most exciting areas of scientific inquiry - the nature of light. Following on from his bestseller, SCHRODINGER'S CAT, John Gribbin presents the recent dramatic improvements in experimental techniques that have enabled physicists to formulate and test new theories about the nature of light. He describes these theories not in terms of hard-to-imagine entities like spinning subnuclear particles, but in terms of the fate of two small cats, separated at a tender age and carried to opposite ends of the universe. In this way Gribbin introduces the reader to such new developments as quantum cryptography, through which unbreakable codes can be made, and goes on to possible future developments such as the idea that the ¿entanglement' of quantum particles could be a way to build a STAR TREK style teleportation machine.

The Case Against Reality: Why Evolution Hid the Truth from Our Eyes
Author: Donald Hoffman
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 0393254704
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 347
Book Description
Can we trust our senses to tell us the truth? Challenging leading scientific theories that claim that our senses report back objective reality, cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman argues that while we should take our perceptions seriously, we should not take them literally. From examining why fashion designers create clothes that give the illusion of a more “attractive” body shape to studying how companies use color to elicit specific emotions in consumers, and even dismantling the very notion that spacetime is objective reality, The Case Against Reality dares us to question everything we thought we knew about the world we see.
