Quantum Reality (Beyond The New Phisics)

An Excursion into metaphysics...
... and the meaning of reality.

What is quantum reality? How do different people see the world? What is quantum theory all about? …and many many more.
The book tells us about eight (yes 8) different views of quantum reality and how different groups of people are interpreting the world. Can anything travel faster than light? Are all the objects in the universe interconnected? What is particle entanglement and how does it work?
In here we find many answers to questions like this and many facts about quantum reality. We find out why there are so many different interpretations of same theory and why they are so different and yet so connected and based on same presumptions.
Nick Herbert explains the purpose of this quest in search for final answer to the question how the world really looks like and how shall we see or not.
It was quite hard reading for me since it was my first scientific book that I read in English. That was the reason why I needed quite more time to get through it and to understand what it says.
The book is great and if you are interested in quantum theory and you have some physics knowledge you should read it. It opens some new windows to look through.
