Modern science has achieved a remarkable legacy of reliable knowledge and rigorous standards of validation. But gaps in even the most successful theories-quantum, relativity, and evolutionary theories-still reflect a deeply fragmented account. To get beyon the fragmented reductive account of the universe emerging randomly in a big bang from literally nothing, we need to think outside the bang. With clarity and subtle insights, Dr. Boyer describes how theories on the forefront of physics and psychology, matter and mind, link to a coherent picture of the ultimate unity of nature. Drawing from...

With concise non-technical descriptions of physical, quantum, and unified field theories--and subtler insights into spacetime as levels of nature to thread them together--a whole new perspective that links mind and matter is introduced. For the first time in modern science, a logically consistent picture is presented of how your arm for example can be guided by your mind. Tacit assumptions are made explicit in a profoundly integrating analysis of how mind and matter interact. Ancient views such as the holistic Vedic model that have long focused on integrating subjective and objective are...
