72Amit Goswami, “Creativity and the Quantum: A Unified Theory of Creativity,” Creativity Research Journal 9 (1996): 47. By 2014, Goswami had reduced creativity to “two basic categories one that is closer to problem solving (akin to technological innovation), and another that involves the discovery of deeper truth. [Amit Goswami, Quantum Creativity (Carlsbad, California: Hay House, 2014), xi.] Now he pokes gentle fun at “Dr. John Problemsolver,” who cannot see beyond the materialist paradigm. (p.59)

111Michio Kaku, Hyperspace: A Scientific Odyssey through Parallel Universes, Time Warps, and the 10th Dimension (New York: Oxford University Press, 1994), 153-54. Roger Penrose is troubled by the reliance of string theory on 10 dimensions but considers it feasible that, ultimately, the problem may be resolved, as it is twistor theory. For the virtues and limitations and current popularity of string theory, see Roger Penrose, The Road to Reality: A Complete Guide to the Laws of the Universe (New York: Knopf, 2005), 869, 880-82, 887-93, 926-28, 1017, 1018, 1040, 1024, 1042; for twistor theory, see 962-67, 973, 991-92, 1003-1004. A resolution to the problem may be M-Theory, which posits an 11th dimension. In this dimension the strings, seen from a “mountaintop” view, have become membranes. Kaku and other string theorists have now endorsed this view. See Chapter 9.
