Description
Alexander Petrovich Nikonov is the author of more than two dozen fiction and popular science books. With five minutes left before becoming a candidate of sciences, he abandoned a dissertation he’d already written and left academia—first for journalism, and then for writing, where he achieved significant success: he became a laureate of awards from the Union of Journalists of Russia (2001) and the Union of Journalists of Moscow (2002). For his contribution to Russian culture, he was awarded the Pushkin Medal (1999); for the book “Monkey Upgrade,” he received the Belyaev Prize (2005).
In his new book, the author tells about the mysterious world of quantum mechanics—the most surprising, hard to explain, and understood by few chapter in the physics book. Quantum mechanics is known not only for studying the very foundation of the universe— the basis of the basis of our world—but also as the first branch of physics in which modern science confronted the observer, that is, consciousness. Therefore, considering this science is impossible without a fair share of existentialism and metaphysics—attempts to understand what consciousness, being, and reality are in essence. In world literature, attempts of this kind offered by the author have not yet existed. This is an absolutely new look at the philosophy of quantum mechanics.
