Sir Isaac Newton famously complained about "action at a distance." How was it possible, he wrote, that gravity, or attraction, operated between objects without physical contact? Well, jump to the twenty-first century, and we have a lot more to say about that. Readers will enjoy a brilliant, outrageous, playful exploration of quantum physics in everyday life, from a secret interplay of TV plots with us, in electricity, to other speculations, founded in the author's decades of initiations as well as being an original thinker and a scholar.
An unusual feature of the illustrations in An Underground Principia is a technique called "computer-PK," or mind through matter in the creation of printouts that refocus the text on-screen in the printing so that nothing happens twice. As in Einstein's "Credo," the author exemplifies: "The most beautiful and deepest experience [one] can have is the sense of the mysterious."
