Publisher's Synopsis
Helen had been dead for several hours when she visited Dr. Gadway in Miami, and she was not alone. But this book is not about his encounter with the ghost of his recently murdered former lover and her angel. It's about how the possibility of such drama constrains physical reality to be. Ever careful to distinguish between scientific facts and their interpretation, Gadway argues that ghosts and angels are no more difficult to fit within the paradigm of modern science than scientists themselves. Quantum physicists assume that micro events are fundamentally random. Gadway challenges this assumption with arguments that are readily accessible to the layman. Personal experiences-including motorcycle tours of the northeast and the great northwest, flights to Peru and Africa, confessions of betrayal and the experience of love and forgiveness-are contextualized with penetrating insights into what some of the greatest thinkers have contributed to our modern worldview. Along the way he motivates an intuitive explanation of synchronicity that departs sharply from the one worked out by Jung and Pauli. Join Gadway on an adventure of discovery that deconstructs gravity, a force that Einstein's magnificent General Theory both describes and denies. As the title to this eminently readable and important book suggests, contrary to the default position of post-Copernican cosmology, the universe is not indifferent to our being here. Ours is a different world, one that attends us tirelessly-a place where, on occasion, you will encounter ghosts and angels, and intimations from the other side.
