Quantum Physics

is NOT weird

“Paul van Leeuwen’s book Quantum Physics is NOT weird is a wonderful, very readable book that will convince thousands upon thousands of serious readers, including students of science, why consciousness is necessary to understand quantum physics and why materialist science is not adequate. I give the book my highest recommendation. This book will also give the inquisitive reader an introduction to the aborning quantum science of consciousness.”

The monumental book of Paul van Leeuwen on “Quantum Physics is Not Weird”, by title, is a masterpiece in disguise. Of course, Quantum Physics is not easy to digest and even weirder than we sometimes can imagine. Yet, this book should be praised due to its transparent treatment and related educational illustrations, that highly facilitate the mastering of the intriguing contents. Many of the 15 chapters, in a critical manner, treat the historical experiments that supported the very creation of this crucial field in physics, that evidently represents the best theory we currently have for understanding the fabric of reality. The cunning explanations also include the dangers of misinterpretation of such studies, clearly exhibiting the professional insights of the writer. An aspect of reader self-control is integrated by ending each subject with “What did we learn from this Chapter”. The chapters, may here and there, require re-reading and re-thinking, but ultimately will make sense not only to more experienced scientists, but also for students and interested laymen. By all this, the book almost offers a crash-course into proper scientific thinking, and it reminded me of the famous book of Fritjof Capra on “the Tao of Physics” of about 50 years ago, that became a classic in academic education. Conclusion: the book of Paul van Leeuwen is unique through its superb writing and educational strength and is highly recommended for a broad circle of readers. As a result of their rewarding study efforts, they will see the world in an entirely different perspective, since the writer is not afraid to finally touch upon the implications for Near Death Experiences and other Psi phenomena.
