In trying to understand the atom, physicists built quantum mechanics and found,
to their embarrassment, that their theory intimately connects consciousness with
the physical world. Quantum Enigma explores what that implies and why some
founders of the theory became the foremost objectors to it. Authors Bruce
Rosenblum and Fred Kuttner explain all of this in non-technical terms with help
from some fanciful stories and anecdotes about the theory's developers. They
present the quantum mystery honestly, with an emphasis on what is and what is
not speculation. Quantum Enigma's description of the experimental quantum facts,
and the quantum theory explaining them, is undisputed. Interpreting what it all
means, however, is controversial. Every interpretation of quantum physics
encounters consciousness. Rosenblum and Kuttner therefore turn to exploring
consciousness itself--and encounter quantum physics. Free will and anthropic
principles become crucial issues, and the connection of consciousness with the
cosmos suggested by some leading quantum cosmologists is mind-blowing. Readers
are brought to a boundary where the particular expertise of physicists is no
longer a sure guide. They will find, instead, the facts and hints provided by
quantum mechanics and the ability to speculate for themselves.
