The book has a very pleasing layout, with the right size of font and
line spacing and correct content density. Great effort for a
self-published book!

The impact of the book is kaleidoscopic. The patterns in one reader's
mind (mine, that is) shifted and re-arranged themselves with a
'rustling noise' more than once.

The author's writing style is remarkably equidistant from the turgid
prose of Indians writing on philosophy or religion and the
we-know-it-all style of Western authors on the philosophy of science."

There is a sort of cosmic, background 'Eureka!' that seems to suffuse
the entire book. Its central thesis about the difference between
perceived reality and absolute reality is an idea waiting to bloom in
a million minds.

The test on the 'Emotionality of Faith,' Page 171, was remarkably
prescient; it worked for me!

I am not sure that the first part, which is essentially descriptive
and philosophical, sits comfortably with the second part with its
tightly-argued physics; if and when the author is on his way to
winning the argument, he may want to look at three different
categories of readers - the lay but intelligent ones who need a degree
of 'translation,' the non-physicist specialist, and the physicist
philosophers. Market segmentation is the key to success.

I think this book needs to be read widely. I am making a small
attempt at plugging it by copying this to my close friends.

If you asked a 5-year-old what the universe was like, and they drew it in crayon with what limited knowledge of grammar that they have, you would end up with this book.
