The New Cosmos Wes Jamroz

The evolution of man is realized through changes that occur within the cosmic matrix. These changes are projected onto the physical world where they are manifested as new concepts and ideas. First, a new concept in its symbolic form appears in scriptures, tales, or poetry. Then, it may be translated into mathematical formulas or expressed as laws of physics. At this point, it is celebrated as a great discovery of the human mind. Afterward, it is permanently instilled in the minds of most people. This book traces the unfolding of an idea that led to the formulation of one of the strangest scientific theories ever conceived by the human mind: quantum mechanics. The true nature of that theory is still perplexing and mystifying. Despite a century of studies, physicists still do not know how to deal with the fundamental aspects of quantum mechanics. It turns out that a certain genie trapped in an Egyptian pyramid played an instrumental role in guiding scientists to the discovery of the quantum theory. This genie may also help solve its seeming mystery.
