Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What if the world is not as solid, immediate, or self-evident as it appears Here, light is not used as a religious metaphor but as a scientific starting point - the fundamental means through which we observe, measure, and understand the universe. Yet, as modern physics reveals, light also cha…llenges many of our ordinary assumptions about space, time, and reality. From this starting point, the book moves through relativity, quantum theory, time, perception, the brain, and consciousness. As each layer is examined, familiar certainties begin to shift. The apparently solid world becomes less certain, time becomes more mysterious, and the self - the deeply familiar sense of 'who I am'- begins to unravel. Alongside modern scientific perspectives, the book draws on insights from Advaita Vedanta, Buddhism, and Zen, bringing contemporary enquiry into conversation with ancient contemplative traditions. Together, these perspectives form a coherent exploration that challenges one of our most deeply held assumptions: that there is a solid, independent 'I' at the centre of experience. And what if the 'I' experiencing the world is not what we think it is Rather than offering another system of belief, this book invites readers to look closely, question directly, and investigate their own experience. In a field where science and contemplation rarely meet as equals, this book attempts something unusual: an enquiry that takes both modern physics and ancient wisdom seriously, letting each illuminate the other without reducing either to the other's terms - and finding, in the space between them, something neither can fully articulate alone. It is a question that, once genuinely asked, quietly touches everything - how we live, what we seek, and what we take ourselves to be. For readers drawn to the intersection of modern physics, consciousness studies, spirituality, and contemplative enquiry-and for anyone who has ever wondered whether the world is quite what it seems - this is an investigation not only into the nature of reality, but into the one who believes they are experiencing it.
