Almost one hundred years ago, the project to reduce the world to mathematical physics failed suddenly and completely: “One of the best-kept secrets of science, ” physicist Nick Herbert writes, “is that physicists have lost their grip on reality. ” The world, we are now told, emerges spontaneously, out of “nothing, ” and constitutes a “multiverse, ” where “anything that can happen will happen, and it will happen an infinite number of times. ” Legendary reclusive genius Wolfgang Smith demonstrates on shockingly obvious grounds the dead end at which physics has arrived, and how we can “return, at last, to the real world. ” The End of Quantum Reality introduces this extraordinary man to a contemporary audience which has, perhaps, never encountered a true philos-sophia, one as intimately at ease with the rigors of quantum physics as with the greatest schools of human wisdom.
