    About this ebook

    No complicated math in this book! Lots of critical thinking with a new wrinkle. The author analyzes WHY physicists like Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking explain the universe using quantum theory.


    What is quantum theory? How do we perceive? How is causality flawed? How is reverse time possible? How does language processing happen? How do we understand? How does pattern recognition play a role in perception? What is reality? How does the arrow theory of time make assumptions that time flows in only one direction? How does reverse time travel happen in multidimensional spacetime? The latest explanations come from quantum physics. What is quantum physics? How did quantum physics evolve? How does quantum thinking affect our thoughts?


    The author bridges the disparity between quantum physics and religion by discussing snippets of logical reasoning offering insight into how both pursuits may coexist. There is no consensus on the origin of life nor the goal of life. How has quantum physics displaced but not replaced religion? What will be the role of religion in the future?


    The author approaches the elusive issues in a piecemeal way using anecdotes from his own experiences and everyday life. In this quick read, he offers insight into the joys of reasoning.

      About the Author

      Preface

      It is a matter of great interest to the public, to achieve the ultimate goal referred to as happiness. I have yet to find people discussing man’s ability to reason not only as a gift but as the ultimate goal in and of itself, and not happiness. I have canvassed intellectuals from physicists and philosophers to laymen and the elderly, to find no consensus on the goal of life, if any. Still, there is no mention of reasoning. Having been induced by my peers to veer away from critical thinking merely to bestow the light of so-called normal behavior in my social interactions, I feel I am now adequately developed both in mind and intellect to discuss the topic.

      Most of what I will discuss in this book is already widely known and may be considered ludicrously obvious as the reader skims through my writing. However, as with most discoveries, the result will not seem foolish when I connect the relevance of the concepts. I am not attempting to prove my point of view, but only raising observational questions in hopes that I will instill the seeds of critical thinking in those who have fallen prey to their daily distractions and vain pursuits. This work has been digitally checked for plagiarism. Although the concepts in this work are widely known, the writing of the work itself is 99% unique, save for renowned quotes and commonly used phrases. This work has a verified plagiarism result score of 1%.

      I have some knowledge of the sciences, mathematics, languages, and arts. I invented speech to text messaging technology, which was originally called DictoMail. My invention is referenced by multinational global companies such as Microsoft, Google, Canon, MCI, Bell Atlantic, IBM, Lucent, AT&T, Texas Instruments, Intel, Nortel, MIT, Avaya, Adobe, NEC, and Yahoo, under patent numbers US7693267B2, US20080159491A1, US20100145968A1, and CN101641676A. I have played music on diverse instruments such as piano and French horn. I have composed music scores, painted, coded programs in 20+ languages, and written books on a diverse range of topics from apartment property management to Asperger Syndrome and elastic fields of force doublets in stress analysis. I have designed the architecture for a phone system, then programmed the code for the architecture using WebRTC protocol, then created and composed on-hold music for the phone system. Every one of these endeavors has taken me to the brink of the ultimate goal. Although the tinkering has been fun, I have still pursued that ultimate goal as if not satisfied with physical achievement. At this time, I have come to realize that perhaps making sense of things is more important than actually making things. Why do I engage in such activities? is more important than which activity will yield the most desired result? This distinction is analogous to the vision set by a leader versus the operational methods optimized by his followers. Herein lies the crux, that thing which I call reasoning. I will discuss how reasoning eludes us and how one can harness its power, to enjoy the ultimate goal, which is not happiness but the pursuit of reason. The planning of a vacation is much more fun than the vacation itself. The expectation of an event is more thrilling than the event itself. Anticipation is a powerful emotion or feeling. This emotion is the result of reasoning and the byproducts of its unknowns. To anticipate implies to imagine and foresee, both of which require reasoning. Evidence of this conclusion lies in the Cambridge English Dictionary definition of the word anticipate. According to the dictionary,
