Btw, the full title of this book is 'Quantum Enigma: Physics Encounters
Consciousness'.
"The worldview demanded by quantum theory is, to borrow the words of J. B. S.
Haldane,
not only queerer than we suppose but queerer than we _can_ suppose. Most of
us share
some commonsense intuitions. For example, it is not just common sense that one
object
cannot be in two far apart places at once? And surely, what happens here is
not affected
by what happens at the _same time_ someplace very far away. And does it not go
without
saying that there is a real world "out there," whether or not we look at it?
Quantum
mechanics challenges each of these intuition by having observation actually
_create_
the physical reality observed."
To me, and Bo too, the MoQ and Quantum theory are, well,,, a quantum leap
beyond
intellectual patterns, and indicates not just expanded rationality, but a
totally new pattern
of understanding, a paradigm jolt into a new level.
