Putting Ourselves Back in the Equation
Author(s): George Musser
For centuries, we have separated mind from matter. While physicists have pursued a theory of 'everything' with single-minded purpose, the matter of the mind, of human consciousness, has been conveniently sidestepped and ignored - consigned to priests, philosophers and poets.
With the ambition of Stephen Hawking, Carlo Rovelli and Brian Cox, Putting Ourselves Back in the Equation sets out a bold new vision for theoretical physics, unrestricted by sleek equations and neat formulations. Combining cutting-edge neuroscience with the latest in quantum mechanics, acclaimed writer Musser offers a new interpretation of human consciousness. From bizarre cognitive phenomena, like lucid dreaming and self-taught synaesthesia, to the latest technological developments in AI, Musser asks: what can physics teach us about what it means to be human?
