Quantum physics (quantum mechanics and quantum field theory)

A product of the "e;spiritual hothouse"e; of the Second Great Awakening, Spiritualism became the fastest growing religion in the nation during the 1850s, and one of the principal responses to the widespread perception that American society was descending into atomistic particularity.

*; Shows how the revelations emerging from quantum physics can wake us up from the disempowering spell of the scientific materialist worldview and help dispel the collective madness that has befallen our species*; Explains for readers with no physics background why quantum physics is, in the words of Albert Einstein, so ';uncommonly important' that ';it should be everyone's concern'*; Shows how quantum physics can help us awaken to the malleable, dreamlike nature of reality, a realization that unlocks the creative spirit within usExplaining the world-transforming effects of quantum physics, Paul Levy shows how discoveries in this fieldwidely considered the greatest in the history of sciencecan wake us up from the disempowering spell of the reductionist, materialist worldview, thereby helping to dispel the collective madness that has befallen our species.
