The Holographic Universe ::
Finally started Michael Talbot’s The Holographic Universe. I’ve gotten to the top of page 3 and am hooked:
There is evidence to suggest that our world and everything in it ... are only ghostly images, projections from a level of reality so far beyond our own it is literally beyond both space and time.
The main architects of this astonishing idea are two of the world’s most eminent thinkers: University of London physicist David Bohm, a protégé of Einstein’s and one of the world’s most respected quantum physicists; and Karl Pribram, a neurophysiologist ... Intriguingly, Bohm and Pribram arrived at their conclusions independently and while working from two very different directions.
...
In his 1987 book entitled Synchronicity: The Bridge Between Matter and Mind, Dr. F. David Peat, a physicist at Queen’s University in Canada, asserts that synchronicities (coincidences that are so unusual and psychologically meaningful they don’t seem to be the result of chance alone) can be explained by the holographic model. Peat believes such coincidences are actually “flaws in the fabric of reality.” They reveal that our thought processes are much more intimately connected to the physical world than has been hitertho suspected.
