Finding the Hidden Key

Following the overthrow of the classical world picture by the findings of quantum mechanics, physicists have proposed a broad gamut of alternative world views. The Quantum Enigma begins with the major recognition that each of these suffers from a certain “residual Cartesianism” that has been smuggled in unconsciously. It turns out that the moment one discards this hidden and problematic premise, quantum theory begins to ¿make sense¿ in a way that it never has before.

As the author shows, it is now possible, for the first time, to integrate the findings of quantum physics into a world view that conforms to the permanent intuitions of mankind. This work can be read by scientists, but is also surprisingly accessible to the general reader unacquainted with the technical conceptions of physics or the quantum-reality literature.
