About this title

Synopsis

According to the standard interpretation of quantum mechanics, the wave function is a pure mathematical entity with no other reality, than that its size renders the probability of observing a particle at a given position in space. The author, on the other hand, believes, that the wave field is very real and that it directs the particles into the observed positions by exerting forces upon them. More importantly, he claims that he has found experimental proof of this. These experiments are described in detail in the book and may easily be repeated by anyone interested. Apart from proving the main point, the experiments yield some astounding results which, among other things, suggest that here are signals that move faster than light in contradiction with Einstein's theory.
It is well-known that a similar situation arises in connection with the phenomenon of entanglement. This leads the author to a closer examination of the basics of the two theories of relativity. As he tries to make quantum mechanics more easily comprehensible, so with relativity. He reintroduces the concepts of absolute time and absolute mass, and on this basis makes surprising new derivations of Einstein's famous energy equation, the dependence of mass with velocity and of the formula for the time dilation.
A final question. Can consciousness play any role in physical theory? The author answers affirmatively, and in fact he makes diligent use of the concept in his models. Hence the title of the book.

About the Author

Peter Pedersen was born in 1949 in Jutland, Denmark. He quickly became an avid reader and developed an interest in the sciences. He studied at Aarhus University, but became increasingly dissatisfied with quantum mechanics and the theory of relativity. As a consequence, he had neither opportunity to nor interest in pursuing a university career after his final exams in physics and astronomy. Instead, he became for some years a teacher in the Danish equivalent of grammar school or high school. He has continued his experimental and theoretical studies of physics, and the results can be found in this book.
