  <default-description>&lt;FONT size=2&gt;&lt;P&gt;Today nearly everyone is familiar with holograms, three-dimensional images projected into space with the aid of a laser. Now, two of the world's most eminent thinkers -- University of London physicists David Bohm, a former protege of Einstein's and one of the world's most respected quantum physicists, and Stanford neurophysiologist Karl Pribram, one of the architects of our modern understanding of the brain -- believe that the universe itself may be a giant hologram, quite literally a kind of image or construct created, at least in part, by the human mind. This remarkable new way of looking at the universe explains not only many of the unsolved puzzles of physics, but also such mysterious occurrences as telepathy, out-of-body and near death experiences, &quot;lucid&quot; dreams, and even religious and mystical experiences such as feelings of cosmic unity and miraculous healings.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[St. Augustine said there are no miracles only that which we don't yet understand.  The reason for scientific revolution is never the obvious stuff.  18th century physicists believed physics was almost done.  All there was left to do was work out the motion of light and radiation.

What was cutting-edge quantum mechanics theory at the book's publishing date, somehow remain fascinating, and a bit chilling.

    <body><![CDATA[Great book.<br/>Scientifically confirms the way we interact with reality.  What is funny is that throughout the ages, many have in one way or another expressed the idea that we create our own reality.  Here is the scientific explanation.<br/>Great book that might be a slow read for many.  Match th...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/53128462">more...</a>]]></body>
