About the Book and Where to Get it

 

This dramatic science fiction story is based upon an imaginative mixture of real-world facts and reasoned speculation. 


A present-day, benevolent scientific organization's activities have unintentionally threatened the world. The outcome is uncertain.


The story may inspire at least three  ancient questions:  Why are we here? Are science and religion really that different?  Are we alone in the universe?

Reader Reviews at Goodreads.com

 " .. I have always been fascinated by the two advertised topics. Science and religion.  .. Quantum States has a take on it I found refreshing and fascinating ..  I couldn't put it down." 

         - J    


" I was a bit hesitant on the content  .. even on first glance, it could be liberally mistaken for a textbook. ..  I found the science to be pretty straightforward and served the story well .. I found the book to be a truly entertaining, provocative science fiction story :)" 

             - Brandis                 


 My first look at the cover screamed "science" to me, and "quantum" in the title completed the initial intimidation factor .. This was not a science book. Lots of science in it but author theorizes science and religion are more alike than we tend to think .. First time I ever thought about things this way." 

      -S. Williams


 " .. Quantum States was engaging, suspenseful, unpredictable and it made me think about what if this could really happen and the accompanying moral issues. Overall, I thought the book was a great reading experience." 

        - R Mitchell


 "As a STEM girly myself, the science parts of the book didn't give me pause. I’m sure the author was taking some liberties for the sake of storytelling (it is fiction after all!) but I had no issues with the more fantastical and/or speculative elements. .. Bottom line at the bottom, I agree with the other reviewers that it was a fun ride. The story progressed logically and inexorably toward a conclusion that was difficult to predict in advance, and I appreciated that even at the denouement it was left open for the reader to contemtplate and decide for themselves! "

      - B.

Author's Additional Reading suggestions

 

There are scientific, religious, and philosophical topics in Quantum States.  Religious and philosophical topics are likely areas most people understand well.


On the other hand, quantum physics can be quite challenging.  With its difficult maths, counter-intuitive concepts, and specialized jargon, it tends to intimidate us as much as it informs us.  


This is not a book from which a reader learns quantum physics.  Even among those with expert knowledge sometimes wrestle with ideas without consensus. This makes it difficult for learners to chose among alternative explanations.


I am not a scientist, nor do I have anything more than a conversational  understanding of quantum physics.  There are many other gifted  people who research, practice, investigate, write about, and are really good at teaching it.

 

In 40 years, I have personally read hundreds of books on quantum physics.  If anyone desires expert resources regarding underlying scientific principles or speculations, recommended sources are listed.
