Delivered-To: uforc@wa.freei.net From: "Dr. Evan Harris Walker" wcri@erols.com Subject: the Physics of Reality by Evan Harris Walker Date: Thu, 20 Apr 2000 13:50:04 -0400 The Physics of Consciousness The Quantum Mind and the Meaning of Life Evan Harris Walker “The next big and creative encounter between science and religion is shaping up precisely along the fault lines Evan Harris Walker explores in this very suggestive, well-crafted and highly readable book. But he is way ahead of the pack, and he is defining the very terms of that encounter. As a theologian and life-long student of religion I welcome his balanced tone and well-informed analysis. This is a book that simply cannot be ignored as the question of the ‘meaning of life’ becomes—as it surely will—more and more central.”—Harvey Cox, Harvard Divinity School For a thousand years, philosophers and theologians have pondered the nature of ultimate reality. For decades, neurologists, psychologists, and physicists have struggled, in vain, to explain the phenomenon of consciousness—how a piece of matter, the brain, can create the sentience that becomes the seat of our whole being… When the woman he loved died of leukemia nearly half a century ago, author Evan Harris Walker began his personal search to determine “what we really are and what, if anything, remains when the tissues of the brain and body have ceased their functions?” A scientist by profession, he looked to physics for the answers to these most profound questions. Now there is a clear path to the answer, leading through the dense jungle of quantum physics, Zen, and subjective experience. This book chronicles both his quest and his conclusions. Evan Harris Walker, founder and director of the Walker Cancer Institute, has made major scientific contributions in astronomy, astrophysics, physics, neurophysiology, psychology, and medicine. Since he received his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Maryland in 1964, he has published more than a hundred papers in scientific journals and popular magazines, and holds a dozen patents. He lives in Aberdeen, Maryland. physics_press release03.doc was not openedTo order this book For further information or to schedule an interview with the author, please contact; please select from our references below (Reference #1)
