| Dear Subscriber, |
|
| We see objects
in front of us, and experience a real material effect when we approach
and touch them. Thus, we conclude that all objects are embedded in
space and exist objectively. However, such experiences in everyday life
cannot be transferred to the atomic level: within standard quantum
theory, the material world is still embedded in space, but it no longer
has an objective existence. How can objects be embedded in space
without existing objectively?

![]() COSMIC SECRETS
Basic Features of Reality
by Wolfram Schommers (Institute for Scientific Computing,
Germany)
300pp (approx.)
978-981-283-643-4: US$58 / £38 US$40.60
/ £26.60
This book addresses this and similar issues in an
illustrative and non-conventional way. Using up-to-date information,
the following basic questions are contemplated: What is a particle, a
quantum object? What can we say about the nature of time? How is
reality, in particular the cosmos, formed? What is the influence of
evolution on the discovery of new developments in this field? Like the
philosophers Whitehead and Bergson, the primacy of process is
advocated: we experience objects — both quantum objects and those we
experience in everyday life — at certain positions in space, but
everything is a matter of process and the existence of static objects
in space is thus eliminated.
