Quantum Enigma's description of the experimental quantum facts, and the quantum theory explaining them, is undisputed. Because the authors open the closet and examine the skeleton, theirs is a controversial book. Physics' encounter with consciousness is its skeleton in the closet. They present the quantum mystery honestly, with an emphasis on what is and what is not speculation. Authors Bruce Rosenblum and Fred Kuttner explain all of this in non-technical terms with help from some fanciful stories and bits about the theory's developers. Einstein derided the theory's "spooky interactions." With Bell's Theorem, we now know Schrodinger's superpositions and Einstein's spooky interactions indeed exist. Schrodinger showed that it "absurdly" allowed a cat to be in a "superposition" simultaneously dead and alive. Quantum Enigma explores what that implies and why some founders of the theory became the foremost objectors to it. Trying to understand the atom, physicists built quantum mechanics and found, to their embarrassment, that their theory intimately connects consciousness with the physical world. Can you believe that physical reality is created by our observation of it? Physicists were forced to this conclusion, the quantum enigma, by what they observed in their laboratories. The most successful theory in all of science-and the basis of one third of our economy-says the strangest things about the world and about us.
