Summary

Distant galaxies, dark matter, black holes - elusive, incomprehensible and inhospitable - these are the building blocks of modern physics. But where do we fit in this picture? For centuries, we have separated mind from matter. While physicists have pursued a theory of 'everything' with single-minded purpose, the matter of the mind, of human consciousness, has been conveniently sidestepped and ignored - consigned to priests, philosophers and poets. With the ambition of Stephen Hawking, Carlo Rovelli and Brian Cox, this book sets out a bold new vision for theoretical physics, unrestricted by sleek equations and neat formulations. Combining cutting-edge neuroscience with the latest in quantum mechanics, acclaimed writer Musser offers a new interpretation of human consciousness.
