Aether: The Physicalists' God

by Laurent R. Duchesne

God is a thing, not a person. Whether there is an aether or not is finally answered: the Aether is but does not exist until it turns into matter.This isn't a new theory but a new insight into already existing theories. A freshly synthesized interpretation consistent with already known and well accepted scientific facts. A modern perspective in which the aether concept is reintroduced in an attempt to reconcile a centuries old notion of wholeness in space and time with actually established scientific paradigms. In addition to arguing for a common substrate to all matter, without math or complicated formulas, I relate self-awareness and perception to non-living self-organized systems. Thereby suggesting that Consciousness is not an independent supernatural entity separate from matter but an intrinsic property of all matter. This book represents what I have realized after a lifelong quest for proof of wholeness in space and time as a fundamental property of the Universe. It is aimed at a general audience, going from the specialist to the layman, with the hope of further popularizing these deeply philosophical issues.

I enjoyed the science part of the book, but not so much the philosophy/theology part of it.
