CRACKING THE QUANTUM MYSTERY: HOW PHILOSOPHY CAN UNLOCK SCIENCE'S STRANGEST PUZZLE

In Cracking the Quantum Mystery, Garry Seabrook offers perhaps the most innovative and groundbreaking philosophical theory to appear in decades. Turning Aristotle's first principle of logic on its head, Seabrook's theory will reverberate throughout the way we think and change our longest-held beliefs and principles.

In an easy-to-understand format, Seabrook addresses the hidden flaw in the first principle of logic. Of course, it is self-evident that the same thing cannot both exist and not exist at the same time; what is not self-evident, however, is the way Aristotle's principle of noncontradiction should be applied to the world. Seabrook outlines the profound influence this historic misunderstanding has exerted on both philosophy and science. As he points out, the discovery of quantum randomness, rather than undermining our demand for causality, actually casts doubt on our mastery of this first principle of logic.

Even Einstein and Neils Bohr failed to realise this subtle fact. Both understood that quantum randomness boiled down to the problem of contradiction, with their famous debate revolving around their differing interpretations of Kant's classic solution. What they both missed is that Kant predicated his theoretical framework on our supposed mastery of noncontradiction when the discovery of quantum randomness called such mastery itself into question.

Seabrook's original and easy-to-follow presentation of this notoriously complex subject is refreshing and revelatory. Cracking the Quantum Mystery provides a game-changing solution, breathtaking in its simplicity, that opens the way for a rethink of our most fundamental assumptions about the world.
