We tend to equate science with absolute truth, forgetting that science is a continuous process of exploration, theorizing, and experimentation. Thus, the only way to explain the mysteries of the universe are to keep thinking of possibilities, potential explanations, and new testing methods.

Quantum Pythagoreans suggests that there is much potential in using both real and virtual testing. Both have their strengths and weaknesses. However, each has something equally important to give to scientific study.

Quantum Pythagoreans provides a nice background on the scientific investigations of a number of interconnected topics, all beginning with the concept of momentum. As the title suggests, the author does not limit himself to quantum theory but is equally open to understanding the associated symbolism used by Pythagoras. This allows the author to look at intriguing concepts such as the harmonics of planets.
