Part 2 – The Quantum Revolution

This book was designed as a textbook for students who need to fill their science requirement. The Quantum Revolution discusses how quantum theory overthrew the objective, materialist and determinist worldviews of classical physics. The text emphasizes how quantum physics may reestablish consciousness as a causal agent in science by delving into quantum non-locality and its implications to society.

In an effort to excite college seniors and first-year graduate students about the essence of quantum mechanics,

Goswami always begins a topic with what students know before moving into more complex areas. He teaches students how to ask the right questions, satisfying their interest in the meaning and interpretation of quantum mechanics, and treats the nitty-gritty details carefully. The unifying approach of the book presents quantum mechanics not only as a schema for successful calculations and predictions but also as a basis for a new and exciting worldview. The most unusual aspect of the book is an ongoing presentation of the radicalness of quantum mechanics as compared to classical physics.

The authors have demonstrated not only the long-suspected metaphysical unity of science and spirituality but also their cosmological and methodological unity. Crucial to the new integration are ideas of quantam physics and quantam leaps, which embody a new science based on the primary of consciousness as propounded in the Upanishads. Goswamis show in this paradigm-shifting book that not only can the paradoxes of quantam physics be resolved on the basis of a spiritual universe but also well-known paradoxes of life, mind and health. All the monumental traditions of India, Vedanta, Yoga, and Tantra, become alive in their connectedness with this newest science within consciousness.
