Gravity sometimes doesn't work. Some things are both waves and particles. . .at the same time. Electrons simply disappear . . . all the time. If the universe is this wild and unpredictable, so full of possibility, why are your thoughts about your own life so limited? Hundreds of years ago, science and religion split apart; they became antagonists in the great game of explanation and discovery. But science and religion are two sides of the same coin. They both help explain the universe, our place in the great plan and the meaning of our lives. In fact, they can only begin to do that adequately when they work together. What the Bleep Do We Know?!TM is a book of amazing science. With the help of more than a dozen research and theoretical scientists, it takes you through the looking glass of quantum physics into a universe that is more bizarre and alive than ever imagined. Then it takes you beyond, into the outer-inner edges of our scientific knowledge of consciousness, perception, body chemistry and brain structure. What is a thought made of? What is reality made of? And most importantly, how does a thought change the nature of reality? This science leads not just to the material world, but deep into the realm of spirituality. If observation affects the outcome, we aren't merely part of the universe, but participants in it. If thoughts are more than random neural firings, than consciousness is more than an anatomical accident. A higher power exists, but is it truly out there? Where is the dividing line between out there and in here? This is not a book of definitive answers. This is a book of mind stretching questions. It is a book that shows you not the path, but the endless possibilities. Do you think you have to go to the same job every day, do the same errands, think the same thoughts, feel the same way? Well, think again.… (more)

Excellent in every way! Gives a great introduction to the quantum world and explains complicated concepts in an easy to understand way. It also teaches you how to use the concepts and principles and apply them to yourself and life to create change that you may have previously considered impossible. This should be on everyone's must read list ( )

Ma che Bleep so?

Più vedo, più leggo, più mi accorgo di non sapere e non capire...

Centinaia di anni fa, la scienza e la religione si sono separate, diventando antagoniste nel grande gioco della spiegazione e della scoperta. Ma scienza e religione sono due facce della stessa medaglia. Entrambe aiutano a spiegare l’universo, il nostro posto nel grande disegno, e il significato della nostra vita.

Di fatto, possono iniziare a farlo adeguatamente soltanto quando collaborano.
Ma che ..bip.. sappiamo veramente!? è un libro di scienza sorprendente. Con l’aiuto di oltre una dozzina di scienziati sperimentali e teorici, vi guiderà attraverso lo specchio della fisica quantistica all’interno di un universo che è più bizzarro e vivo di quanto si sia mai immaginato. E poi vi condurrà ancora oltre, ai margini estremi della nostra conoscenza scientifica della coscienza, della percezione, della chimica del corpo e della struttura cerebrale.

Di che cos’è fatto un pensiero?
Di che cos’è fatta la realtà?
E soprattutto, come può un pensiero modificare la natura della realtà?
Questa scienza non porta soltanto al mondo materiale, ma nel profondo del regno della spiritualità. Se l’osservazione influenza l’esito, noi non solo siamo parte dell’universo, ma ne siamo parte attiva. Se i pensieri sono più di attivazioni neurali casuali, la coscienza è più di un incidente anatomico.

Esiste un potere più elevato, ma è veramente là fuori? Dov’è la linea di demarcazione tra là fuori e qui dentro?
Questo non è un libro di risposte definitive. Questo è un libro di domande che espandono la mente. È un libro che non vi mostra la via, ma le infinite possibilità. Pensate di dover andare ogni giorno allo stesso lavoro, a fare le stesse commissioni, di dover fare gli stessi pensieri, sentirvi allo stesso modo?
Bene, ripensateci: scoprirete infinite possibilità di cambiare la realtà quotidiana. ( )

Uhmmmm... well... I think I just didn't get it. Or perhaps I've already folded up the "Box" and buried it in the back yard instead of living my life inside it. I found most of the stuff common sensical - like if you live an angry life, you'll find yourself being angry. And vice versa! Really... how odd.

It's glossy and pretty and has lots of pictures and "vignettes" in the margins where the contributors give a little insight into their own lives. Perhaps this is interesting to some people, it wasn't to me. I am not sure what I expected from this book... but it was more glossy-shiny-pretty than educational-informational. ( )

A bit chewy to read, but the general principle is one I get. ( )

Deze verzorgde en zeer rijk geïllustreerde uitgave verschijnt naar aanleiding van een in het alternatief circuit populair-wetenschappelijke Amerikaans docu-filmdrama over de zelfscheppende relatie tussen bewustzijn en werkelijkheid vanuit verschillende wetenschapsdisciplines en door alternatieve denkers. Deze denkers (waarin de kwantumfysici centraal staan) zijn naast het feit ze zich intensief met de bovenstaande materie bezighouden, mede gekozen omdat ze interdisciplinair denken en werken. Er wordt hier dan ook veelomvattend opzetje gepresenteerd naar een eenheidsscheppende theorie en praxis, waarbij vooral de scheppende kracht van bewustzijn een hoofdrol speelt. Thema's zijn dan ook: de scheiding tussen religie en wetenschap, wat is werkelijkheid?, geest boven materie, emoties, verslavingen, (kwantum)brein en de verstrengelingstheorie. Hoewel vooral de kwantumtheorie niet voor iedereen gemakkelijk te begrijpen zal zijn, is het boek 'op zijn Teleacs' voor iedereen zo leesbaar mogelijk gemaakt door onder meer de persoonlijke aanspreekvorm, samenvattende teksten in de marge, ruime witmarges en de persoonlijke opdrachten.
