The Hidden Domain: Home of the Quantum Wave Function, Nature's Creative Source [Paperback]

Norman Friedman (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 1997

The Hidden Domain explains that our familiar three-dimensional world is a reality arising from an invisible ocean of unmeasurable energy which surrounds and permeates us. This conception as remarkable as it seems arises in a natural way from the mathematical formalisms of modern quantum theory-a theory which is the most successful in scientific history. Physicists describe this nonphysical level of reality with the mathematical entity called the wave function. Since this level is not accessible to us through conventional scientific equipment presents a detailed study of the wave function using images metaphors and analogies which are grounded in solid science. This underlying basic source of our normal sensory reality is thoroughly investigated and illustrated without the use of ma thematics. An intriguing learning adventure is thus created for the layperson as well as the scientist.

Review

"...a bridge to a new millennium in which the divisions of science and spirituality, intellect and intuition, will be harmonized." --Larry Dossey, M.D., author of Prayer is Good Medicine and Healing Words



"...deals with all the questions I ever wanted to ask about quantum mechanics but never did for fear I would be unable to understand the answers." --Montague Ullman, M.D., Clinical Professor of Psychiatry Emeritus, Albert Einstein College of Medicine and co-author of Dream Telephathy

From the Publisher

Norman Friedman has made a valuable contribution in unifying science psychology and spirituality. This book is a bridge to a new millennium in which the old divisions of science and spirituality intellect and intuition will be harmonized. This is an important book. -Larry Dossey M.D.

Author of At times what seems so mysterious is due to lack of understanding. Norman Friedman once again tackles the 'unknown' source of reality in and brings us much closer to understanding the source of creation

5.0 out of 5 stars This Book is Good !, January 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Hidden Domain: Home of the Quantum Wave Function, Nature's Creative Source (Paperback)

Norman Friedman has done a wonderful job of synthesizing the ideas of the whose who of Modern Physicists into an intriguing, easily understood presentation. It is quantum physics and its implications all without the math although the math is discussed. If you have ever struggled to understand the concepts of modern physics because the math got in the way (and you were saved by the class curve) then this book will finally tell you what you missed. If you haven't taken courses in the field, the book will clearly tell you the crazy implications. If you've read the writings of Jane Roberts you will be pleased to see that Seth's explainations of our world boundaries is pretty close to the current view. You can converse with great authority on modern physics after reading this book and actually sound intelligent. This is one great book. 5 Stars for Friedman

2.0 out of 5 stars Not quite ready for the future, April 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Hidden Domain: Home of the Quantum Wave Function, Nature's Creative Source (Paperback)

Norman Friedman deserves credit for the way in which he manages to explain the concepts of 20th century physics so well. Unfortunately, his interpretation of quantum physics is rather conservative. The result is that he attempts to prop all of reality into a framework that is just too narrow and limited. It is not the definitive book on the relationship between modern physics and spirituality, but it's a good start.

5.0 out of 5 stars All of the Concepts without the Math !, December 30, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Hidden Domain: Home of the Quantum Wave Function, Nature's Creative Source (Paperback)

Dr. Friedman has done a remarkable job of presenting the personalities, concepts and the bizzare reality of modern physics without the math. This book should be required reading (seriously) for all students who think that they may one day take modern physics and also for those who love the philisophical implications of discovering the boundaries of the physical world. You get to understand "concepts" without the "math". This makes the math much more relavent if you ever have to apply it in a class room situation or even discussion at a party. It certainly would have helped me! Esoteric and Scientific all in one package, the book leaves you feeling that you could discuss the implications of modern physics with any leading physicist today and actually be able to intelligently converse! 5 Stars for Dr. Friedman.
