Lewis Carroll's tale of Alice and her adventures in the nonsensical dream world of Wonderland has delighted readers young and old for more than a hundred years. Full of sublime make-believe and introducing such unforgettable characters as the Mad Hatter, the Queen of Hearts, and the Cheshire Cat, the Alice books are full of anarchic humor and sparkling word play.“Alice in Wonderland is one of the top 25 books of all time. I always loved the book and I always loved the various characters, the psychedelic nature of it and kind-of odd allegorical stories inside stories. I always thought it was beautiful.” –Jonny Depp"Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is an 1865 novel written by English mathematician Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. It tells of a girl named Alice falling through a rabbit hole into a fantasy world populated by peculiar, anthropomorphic creatures. The tale plays with logic, giving the story lasting popularity with adults as well as with children. It is considered to be one of the best examples of the literary nonsense genre. Its narrative course and structure, characters and imagery have been enormously influential in both popular culture and literature, especially in the fantasy genre."Complete With Original IllustrationsThese edition Includes:Alice’s Adventures in WonderlandThrough the Looking GlassThe Hunting of the SnarkAlice's Adventures Under GroundSylvie and BrunoSylvie and Bruno ConcludedSongs From Alice In Wonderland and Through the Looking GlassSongs From Through the Looking GlassThe Nursery “Alice”Three Sunsets and Other Poems

This open access book highlights the link between Bruno Latour's works and the semiotic perspective on social phenomena analysis. It identifies and relaunches a dialogue that was as heated as it was fruitful, but still little recognized within the social sciences. It asks why the theory of signification has so far been only sporadically acknowledged in literature derived from Latour's work. Starting from these premises, the book explores two interrelated dimensions, the initial one of a "semiotics for Latour", which looks at concepts from semiotics in Latour's study of social phenomena, and extensively for the first time, a symmetrical one of a "Latour for semiotics," accounting for the impact of Latourian inquiry on contemporary semiotic research. The book offers a novel perspective on Bruno Latour's work by addressing a wide readership, including those interested in Latour’s approach, actor-network theory, semiotics, and the social sciences.The English translation of this book from the Italian original manuscript was done with the help of artificial intelligence, then revised technically and linguistically by the author in collaboration with a professional translator.

Die umfassende Biografie zum 100. Geburtstag des legendären Politikers!
Bruno Kreisky war ein Mann mit Eigenschaften. Er besaß Charisma und Spontaneität, war abwägend und impulsiv, zugleich aber der politischen Aufklärung verpflichtet. Bruno Kreisky hatte eine lebenslange Vision: die Menschen in Arbeit halten. Seine faszinierende und durchaus widersprüchliche Persönlichkeit ist das Ergebnis eines außergewöhnlichen Lebens. Er war Sozialist aus bürgerlicher Familie, saß in den Gefängnissen der Austrofaschisten und der Gestapo, überlebte Nationalsozialismus und Zweiten Weltkrieg als Emigrant in Schweden, wo er Demokratie und Sozialstaat kennenlernte und sie als reale Alternative zum Österreich der dreißiger Jahre verstand. Am Wiederaufbau seiner Heimat entscheidend beteiligt, hat Bruno Kreisky sein Land geprägt wie niemand sonst.
Diese umfassende Biografie beruht auf der jahrzehntelangen Beschäftigung des Autors mit dem Phänomen Kreisky. Als enger Mitarbeiter konnte Wolfgang Petritsch ungewöhnliche Einblicke in das Denken und Handeln des Porträtierten gewinnen.

Bruno Schulz è uno dei più geniali, stravaganti e misconosciuti scrittori del ‘900. Nasce e vive insieme alla sua famiglia a Drohobyč (Polonia) dove lavora come insegnante di disegno. Dopo la morte del padre, della madre e del fratello maggiore, ottiene la fama di scrittore nel 1933, a quarantadue anni, con la sua prima raccolta di racconti. Otto anni dopo, nel 1941, in seguito all’invasione nazista della Polonia, diventa il protetto di un ufficiale della Gestapo che lo impiega per il suo talento. L’anno successivo viene ucciso a sangue freddo da un altro ufficiale, e cancellato dalla storia a soli cinquant’anni, come dispetto al suo protettore. In quel periodo stava completando la stesura del suo primo romanzo, Il Messia.
 
“Bruno Schulz, il genio sconosciuto, è stato uno dei grandi scrittori, uno dei grandi trasmigratori del mondo a parole […] Le pagine sono affollate di brillantezza verbale, come i cieli pieni, minacciosi e sorprendenti. Ma qualcosa di crudele si nasconde dietro questa bellezza, legata ad essa – la crudeltà del mito. […] Come Borges, è un cosmogonista senza teologia. Lo sforzo straziante della sua prosa è quello di costruire di nuovo il mondo, a partire dai frammenti che esistono dopo qualche innominabile disastro. […] Sensibile all’informe, Schulz presta ancora più attenzione di Beckett alla noia, al limbo preponderante della vita, ai frammenti scadenti dell’esperienza, alle stagioni morte, a quei tratti negativi del tempo” John Updike

Palkittu romaani Giordano Brunosta – katolisen kirkon vainoamasta vapaasta ajattelijasta.Nuoren Giordano Brunon mieltä askarruttaa kaikki mahdollinen: avaruus, maailman rakenne, ihmeellinen luonto, uskonto, jumala ja kiihkeä rakkaus. Sekaannuksen pohjalta hän rakentaa omaa filosofiaansa ja pyrkii kohti ymmärrystä keräten ympärilleen sekä epäilijöitä että tukijoita. Vapaalle ajattelulle on kuitenkin vain vähän sijaa 1500-luvun Italiassa. Pian Bruno joutuukin katolisen kirkon vainon kohteeksi, ja levoton kiertolaiselämä Euroopassa alkaa.Giordano Bruno (1548–1600) oli napolilainen filosofi, esoteerikko ja teologi, jonka inkvisitio tuomitsi poltettavaksi roviolla harhaoppisuudesta. Tiina Kailan "Bruno" kuvaa taidokkaasti vainotun miehen sisäistä kamppailua ja rakkauden kaipuuta.Bruno on saanut Kalevi Jäntin ja Valtion kirjallisuuspalkinnon vuonna 1991. Teos oli myös Finlandia-ehdokkaana ilmestymisvuonnaan.

In the 1980s a poor farmer’s son from Recife, Brazil, joined the Brazilian navy and began selling cocaine. After his arrest in Rio de Janeiro he spent the next eight years in prison, where he joined the Comando Vermelho criminal faction and eventually became one of its leaders. Robert Gay tells this young man’s dramatic and captivating story in Bruno. In his shockingly candid interviews with Gay, Bruno provides many insights into the criminal world in which he lived: details of day-to-day prison life; the inner workings of the Brazilian drug trade; the structure of criminal factions; and the complexities of the relationships and links between the prisons, drug trade, gangs, police, and favelas. And most stunningly, Bruno’s story suggests that Brazilian mismanagement of the prison system directly led to the Comando Vermelho and other criminal factions’ expansion into Rio’s favelas, where their turf wars and battles with police have terrorized the city for over two decades.

Yet he has also been a cautionary tale, known as much for how he dropped out of sight as for what put him in the spotlight in the first place. As much as people know the music, the man remains a mystery. In Thank You, his much-anticipated memoir, he's finally ready to share his story - a story that many thought he'd never have the chance to tell. Written with Ben Greenman, who has written memoirs with George Clinton and Brian Wilson among others, Thank You will include a foreword by Questlove. The book was created in collaboration with Sly Stone's manager Arlene Hirschkowitz. "For as long as I can remember folks have been asking me to tell my story," says Stone. "I wasn't ready. I had to be in a new frame of mind to become Sylvester Stewart again to tell the true story of Sly Stone. It's been a wild ride and hopefully my fans enjoy it too."

Go Tell It On The Mountain, first published in 1953, is Baldwin's first major work, a semi-autobiographical novel that has established itself as an American classic. With lyrical precision, psychological directness, resonating symbolic power, and a rage that is at once unrelenting and compassionate, Baldwin chronicles a fourteen-year-old boy's discovery of the terms of his identity as the stepson of the minister of a storefront Pentecostal church in Harlem one Saturday in March of 1935. Baldwin's rendering of his protagonist's spiritual, sexual, and moral struggle of self-invention opened new possibilities in the American language and in the way Americans understand themselves.

'Ever since I was a child I loved to dance. I had it in me - and when you dance the whole day and you've got music, it doesn't feel like work. It's freedom. It's love. It's therapy.'Before taking Strictly Come Dancing by storm, Motsi Mabuse worked her way up to becoming one of the top professional dancers worldwide and was crowned the Latin dance champion. From the moment she fell in love with the glitterball world as a young child watching a dance tournament, she knew that dancing was her destiny. However, it wasn't always an easy path. Motsi takes us back to her youth growing up in apartheid-era South Africa, where she experienced exclusion and discrimination. She raised the money herself to compete in international competitions, eventually uprooting her life to be with her dance partner in Germany. Through it all, Motsi never let anything hold her back from fulfilling her dreams, showing the determination, hard work and resilience it took to get to where she is today. In Finding My Own Rhythm, Motsi leads us in to the rhinestone-studded world of dance, through the ups and downs, romances and heartbreaks, the obstacles and adversity, and the long hours and triumphs that made it all worth it, all while staying true to herself and moving to the beat of her own rhythm.

Love brings up emotions that run the gamut from agony to ecstasy, and can inspire us to accomplish some of the craziest and most amazing feats.

Here are 201 of the best love quotes you will find online, perfect for sharing with that special someone. We couldn't have put these inspirational phrases better ourselves. 
 "The best love is the kind that awakens the soul; that makes us reach for more, that plants the fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. That’s what I hope to give you forever."

The Life and Letters of Lewis Carroll is a biography written by Carroll's nephew, Stuart Dodgson Collingwood, and published in 1898.

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson better known by the pseudonym Lewis Carroll (1832 – 1898), was an English author, mathematician, logician, Anglican deacon and photographer.

From the earliest developments of thought, mankind believed that some significant coincidences were signs by which a higher philosophical or divine level sought to inter-dialogue with men. In the last three centuries this had been erased from the new directions of science. Extraordinary coincidences were considered as fruits of chance. Anyone who wanted to interpret extraordinary events as divine signals was mocked. In the same way, premonitions were considered illusions or even signs of imbalance. This, despite many had experienced these extraordinary facts.Science denied the existence of a psychic dimension with which the human mind could interact. According to the common opinion, the only existing reality was matter. However, in the 1980s, experiments in quantum physics demonstrated the existence of a universe that is not just composed of matter. This universe holds a level in which energy and information do not suffer the limits of space and time typical of classical physics.This confirms all the intuitions matured in the history of humanity. Among these intuitions the concept of "Soul of the World" enunciated by the Greek philosopher Plato. More recently, the Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung has elaborated the theory of the "collective unconscious".This book avoids investigating excessively specialized topics. The author clearly accompanies the reader in understanding the three levels that form a single reality.The first level is the physical one, which is part of our daily experience. The second level is the one described by quantum physics, typical of the smallest elementary particles of atoms.The third is the psychic level called "non-locality". It is the spiritual level, which can not be physically located anywhere.This path of knowledge refers to recent discoveries recognized by official science. The strange coincidences and phenomena of the mind become important parts of a new and surprising reality.

Pages 360, 58 illustrations. The book is divided into three parts. In the first part (The intuitions) the author deals with the most relevant hypotheses on the illusory reality of the perceptible world. The existence of a level of consciousness that transcends matter has been envisaged by the great thinkers. We find this idea in Plato's Myth of the Cave, in Berkeley's Immaterialistic Theory, in the Psychology of Form. The most authoritative source lies in the works on the collective unconscious and on the theory of synchronicity by Carl Jung.In the second part (Confirmations) the author describes in an elementary but detailed way the path of quantum physics, from Thomas Young's double slit experiment to the phenomena of the superposition of states and quantum correlation. Through these privileged keys it is possible to understand quantum entanglement. In the third part (Perspectives) the author describes the theories developed by David Bohm on the "quantum potential" on the "implicated universe". and on the holographic vision of the cosmos. Everything is explained with absolute simplicity, without the use of mathematical formulas and with the help of many illustrations.

In modern-day Tokyo, Robin Swann’s life has sputtered to a stop. She’s stuck in a dead-end job testing antiquities for an auction house, but her true love is poetry, not pottery. Her stalled dissertation sits on her laptop, unopened in months, and she has no one to confide in but her goldfish. On the other side of town, Nori Okuda sells rice bowls and tea cups to Tokyo restaurants, as her family has done for generations.

Reveals how the art of memory is the origin of the Masonic method • Explains the classical techniques of the art of memory, how they were reworked by hermetic thinkers during the Renaissance, and how they contributed to the transformation of operative Freemasonry into speculative Freemasonry • Traces the creation of speculative Freemasonry to 1637, one hundred years earlier than previously thought • Explores how the “memory palaces” created with the art of memory enabled access to universal knowledge as well as represented the Masonic temple in its imaginary state In Antiquity, the art of memory was a mnemonic device that allowed an orator, such as Cicero, to recall all the points he wished to make by associating each of them with an image or architectural element in the site he was speaking. When this art was rediscovered in the Renaissance, hermetic thinkers like Giordano Bruno reworked it into a method that allowed them to acquire knowledge with the creation of “memory palaces.” The elements of these memory palaces were not intended to trigger the memory but would actually transform into talismanic objects with knowledge entirely new to the seeker. In this book, Charles B. Jameux shows that this hermetic reworking of the classical art of memory was no mystery to operative Masons, who grafted it onto their own rituals, catalyzing the transformation of operative Masonry into speculative Masonry. He shows how the hieroglyphic writing used during the Renaissance in the art of memory provided the groundwork for one of the most esoteric elements of masonic practice: the grasp of the realm of image by the letter, where symbols were “buried” within words. Using archival evidence from 17th-century Scotland and earlier, combined with the research of modern scholars such as Frances Yates and David Stevenson, Jameux argues that the creation of speculative Freemasonry can be traced back 100 years earlier than conventional history records--to 1637, when the first recorded use of the Mason’s Word appeared and with it, the first known appearance of the symbolic Temple of Solomon. He follows Giordano Bruno’s visit to the British Isles in the late 16th century and the subsequent activities of the men he met there, showing that Masonic symbolism owes much of its current form to early memory palaces, which represented the Masonic lodge and temple in their fully imaginary states. Revealing the pivotal role of the memory palace and hermetic traditions in early Masonic symbolism, Jameux sheds new light on the Masonic questions asked of each initiate and the spiritual importance of the Temple of Jerusalem to Freemasonry.

Carl Jung and Wolfgang Pauli worked respectively in the field of psyche and in that of matter. These two sectors are considered absolutely incompatible with each other. In fact, scientific materialism denies the existence of every psychic component in the known universe.Despite the enormous distance between their disciplines, the two scientists established a collaboration that lasted more than twenty years. During that time they never stopped looking for a "unifying element", able to reconcile, on a scientific level, the reasons of the psychic dimension with those of the material dimension.Unfortunately, they did not achieve this goal in their lifetime, but they were prophets of a new scientific interpretation of the universe. In fact, the evolution of knowledge in the field of quantum physics, and above all the experimental confirmations of phenomena such as quantum entanglement, re-evaluate their theories. Today the idea of a universe that is not divided into "material objects" strongly emerges. The universe is not divided but consists of a unique reality, made of spirit and matter. This is the reality that Jung and Pauli called "Unus mundus". Matter and psyche have equal dignity and contribute together to the existence of the universe.The "Cenacle" is a place of knowledge and study. We believe it is the most suitable environment to resume work from the point where Carl Jung and Wolfgang Pauli interrupted them.We can say that, today, scientific news ennobles their research and projects them towards even more daring interpretations than they had imagined.Carl Gustav Jung was a Swiss psychologist and psychotherapist, well known for his theories on the collective unconscious and synchronicity. Pauli is one of the fathers of quantum physics. On Pauli we can say that in 1945 he received the Nobel Prize for his studies on a basic principle of quantum mechanics, known as the "Pauli Exclusion Principle".

An autobiographical work that describes firsthand the great tectonic shifts in English society following the First World War, Robert Graves's Goodbye to All That is a matchless evocation of the Great War's haunting legacy, published in Penguin Modern Classics.
In 1929 Robert Graves went to live abroad permanently, vowing 'never to make England my home again'. This is his superb account of his life up until that 'bitter leave-taking': from his childhood and desperately unhappy school days at Charterhouse, to his time serving as a young officer in the First World War that was to haunt him throughout his life. It also contains memorable encounters with fellow writers and poets, including Siegfried Sassoon and Thomas Hardy, and looks at his increasingly unhappy marriage to Nancy Nicholson. Goodbye to All That, with its vivid, harrowing descriptions of the Western Front, is a classic war document, and also has immense value as one of the most candid self-portraits of an artist ever written.
Robert Ranke Graves (1895-1985) was a British poet, novelist, and critic. He is best known for the historical novel I, Claudius and the critical study of myth and poetry The White Goddess. His autobiography, Goodbye to All That, was published in 1929, quickly establishing itself as a modern classic. Graves also translated Apuleius, Lucan and Suetonius for the Penguin Classics, and compiled the first modern dictionary of Greek Mythology, The Greek Myths. His translation of The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám (with Omar Ali-Shah) is also published in Penguin Classics.

The memo landed on Kim Philby's desk in Washington, DC, in July 1950. Three months later, Bruno Pontecorvo, a physicist at Harwell, Britain's atomic energy lab, disappeared without a trace. When he re-surfaced six years later, he was on the other side of the Iron Curtain.One of the most brilliant scientists of his generation, Pontecorvo was privy to many secrets: he had worked on the Anglo-Canadian arm of the Manhattan Project, and quietly discovered a way to find the uranium coveted by nuclear powers. Yet when he disappeared MI5 insisted he was not a threat. Now, based on unprecedented access to archives, letters, surviving family members and scientists, award-winning writer and physics professor Frank Close exposes the truth about a man irrevocably marked by the advent of the atomic age and the Cold War.

“When the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there
came a sound from Heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with
other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.”
Acts 2:1-4.
HOW absolutely necessary is the Presence and Power of the Holy Spirit! It is not possible for us to
promote the Glory of God, or to bless the souls of men, unless the Holy Spirit shall be in us and with us.
Those who were assembled on that memorable day of Pentecost were all men of prayer and faith; but
even these precious gifts are only available when the celestial fire sets them on a blaze. They were all
men of experience—most of them had been preachers of the Word, and workers of miracles; they had
endured trials and troubles in company with their Lord, and had been with Him in His temptation. Yet,
even experienced Christians, without the Spirit of God, are weak as water! Among them were the Apostles
and the 70 Evangelists, and with them were those honored women in whose houses the Lord had
often been entertained, and who had ministered to Him of their substance.

Pages 270. Illustrated.The incredible discoveries of quantum physics are completely upsetting the assumptions of classical science. Today the technique allows amazing achievements. For example, the first quantum computers with almost unlimited computing capabilities are being realized. Some support the real possibility of time travel. In addition to these innovations known to the general public, there are others less known but no less important.  They are the novelties deriving from quantum studies, among which we can mention the "superposition of states" and the "quantum collapse".The "superposition of states" confirms that the same particle can be found simultaneously in two or more places. The theory of "quantum collapse" confirms that the behavior of matter can be decided simply by observation. These are not assumptions, but principles verified experimentally.This book does not only deal with these innovations, but gives much space to more advanced theories. These are theories announced but not yet confirmed. Furthermore, the book also evaluates the most risky theories, provided they are scientifically based.For example, the book talks about the multiverse, or theory of parallel universes, proposed by the physicist Hugh Everett. In the same way the book speaks of non-locality. It is a psychic space totally independent of the laws of classical physics. As a result of non-locality, elementary particles, located at astronomical distances, behave as if they were one.This book also talks about the latest research by Roger Penrose, an unbelieving physicist, and Stuart Hameroff. According to these two scientists the soul exists and can be identified with quantum fluctuations. These fluctuations have the ability to survive the physical death of the body.If really the "souls" are condensations of quantum fluctuations, we can formulate a question: will it ever be possible to devise instruments that allow dialogue with these fluctuations?The book exposes the research of established scientists but without using any mathematical formula. The theories are exposed in a simple and understandable way to everyone. In this way everyone can discover the unsuspected aspects of the reality in which we live.It is clear that quantum physics is decreeing the end of materialism and the beginning of a new cultural phase, based on the collaboration between spirit and matter.

Son nom la relie à une constellation, mais sa présence au monde la rend indissociable des paysages qu’elle traverse : Hélène Dorion vit environnée de lacs et de forêts, de fleuves et de rivages, de brumes de mémoire et de vastes estuaires où la pensée s’évase. Dans ce recueil voué aux forêts, elle fait entendre le chant de l’arbre, comme il existe un chant d’amour et des voix de plain-chant. « Mes forêts… », dit-elle dans un souffle qui se densifie de poème en poème. Et l’on entre à pas de loup dans une forêt de signes où l'on déchiffre la partition de la vie sur fond de ciel, sur fond de terre, sur fond de neige, de feuillages persistants et de flammes qu'emporte le vent, de bourgeons sertis dans l’écorce et de renouvellement. Un chemin « qui donne sens à ce qu’on appelle humanité. »
Née au Québec en 1958, Hélène Dorion a publié une vingtaine d’ouvrages de poésie au Québec, en Belgique et en France, et qui ont été traduits dans plus de dix langues. Lauréate de nombreux prix littéraires, elle est aujourd’hui considérée comme l’une des voix majeures de la poésie francophone. « Nous avons besoin de sa quête intérieure, de cette immensité du dedans, de ce vent de l’âme que sa poésie ne cesse de faire souffler et de faire entendre », écrit à son propos l’écrivain Pierre Nepveu.

Cartea este împărțită în trei părți. În prima parte (Intuițiile) autorul tratează cele mai relevante ipoteze asupra realității iluzorii a lumii perceptibile. Existența unui nivel de conștiință care transcende materia a fost prevăzută de marii gânditori. Această idee o găsim în Mitul peșterii lui Platon, în "Teoria imaterialistă" a lui Berkeley, în "Psihologia formei" (Gestaltpsychologie). Sursa cea mai autoritară se află în lucrările despre inconștientul colectiv și pe teoria sincronicității de Carl Jung.În a doua parte (Confirmări) autorul descrie într-un mod elementar, dar detaliat, calea fizicii cuantice, de la experimentul lui Thomas Young al barierei cu două fante până la fenomenele de suprapunere a stărilor și corelația cuantică. Prin aceste chei privilegiate este posibil să înțelegem încurcarea cuantică. În partea a treia (Perspective) autorul descrie teoriile dezvoltate de David Bohm asupra "potențialului cuantic" asupra "universului implicat și explicat" și asupra viziunii holografice a cosmosului. Totul este explicat cu o simplitate absolută, fără utilizarea formulelor matematice și cu ajutorul multor ilustrații.Omenirea, de la origini, a dorit să investigheze originea și compoziția lucrurilor, să le descopere funcționarea și scopul intim.Metoda utilizată universal este de a descompune obiectele în părți din ce în ce mai mici, apoi analizându-le cu fiecare tehnică posibilă, de la investigații vizuale până la reacții chimice. Acest lucru se întâmplă și astăzi. De exemplu, dacă un om de știință dorește să descopere structura chimică și fizică a unui cub de granit, îl va sparge în bucăți din ce în ce mai mici până când acesta va fi împărțit în atomi individuali.Cu toate acestea, dacă omul de știință însuși vrea să investigheze particulele individuale care alcătuiesc atomul, primește o surpriză incredibilă. Cubul de granit se comportă ca un cub de gheață. Omul de știință vede materia devenind lichidă, evaporându-se, dispărând între degete. Materia solidă devine energie care vibrează.Particulele unice sunt transformate în unde fluctuante fără mai multă corporalitate.La nivel subatomic, materia nu mai este materie solidă, ea devine ceva diferit. Particulele elementare ne înșeală.Arată ca niște pete solide dacă cineva le observă, dar se comportă ca undele vibrante atunci când nu sunt observate.Practic atomii conțin doar vid.La suprafață, credem că putem atinge, cântări, manipula și măsura materia. Dar, în compoziția sa cea mai intimă, materia devine o undă de gol, energie, informație, undă sau vibrație. Ceea ce ni se pare material solid, în esența sa cea mai intimă, nu mai este material solid.În acest moment, este clar că nu mai putem vorbi de o singură realitate. În funcție de nivelurile de observare, de la extrem de mici la infinit de mari, există multe realități, toate diferite, dar toate absolut adevărate.Sau, poate, există multe aspecte ale unei realități superioare, încă necunoscute. Toate filozofiile și religiile au întotdeauna emis ipoteza unei "zone a spiritului" care transcende materia; nimeni, cu toate acestea, nu a putut vreodată să ofere dovezi ale existenței sale. Astăzi fizica cuantică deschide o fereastră uriașă pe orizonturi pe care, până în secolul trecut, nu le-am fi putut imagina. Confirmările provin din experimentele efectuate cu succes, în special cele referitoare la fenomenul încurcării cuantice.
