Publisher's Synopsis
In the 1930s, a group of Nobel Prize winning physicists discovered something astonishing: reality couldn't be purely physical. Non-physical, influencing minds must exist in order for reality to appear out of the quantum realm. Solving Reality explores these scientists' insight. It shows a crucial fact: if things were only physical, then there would be no order in the universe. In a purely physical universe, there would be no life. We also get to see that the Big Bang is quadruply impossible, chicks have telekinetic powers and that you'll do better in exams if you study them after you take them. There's also fun illustrations, including one of Dr Samuel Johnson, naked, in a virtual-reality pod, just to keep things interesting. The universe is truly weird; it just looks normal.
