Quantum mechanics and what’s really real
When it comes to quantum physics, what — if anything — reflects reality? (If reality exists at all.) Chemist and science writer Jim Baggott tackles that thorny question in a remarkably thorough and enlightening book, writes reviewer Sabine Hossenfelder. The book doesn’t require a background in the field, but even Hossenfelder, a quantum physicist, discovered new insights in its pages. “Indeed, in Quantum Reality I found a more comprehensible explanation of the Penrose-Hameroff conjecture (that the origin of consciousness is coherent quantum states of microtubules in the human brain) than I have heard from both Penrose and Hameroff themselves,” she writes.
