Quantum Project Books

Listening to this book it was an immense experience to hear how Dr Lipton explains about the ins and outs of the biology. What I found particularly higly interesting, was the constantly present buildup of lower-level phenomena (e.g. cell biochemistry interaction) to a collective higher level observables (e.g how a collection of cells express themselves).

Where I must compliment Dr Lipton is his enthusiasm with which he speaks. I necer heard an 'uh' or any other kind of pause and it never seems as if he is reading from a paper too. This for itself is a joy to listen to.

It all, makes a very well founded scientific piece of work and presented higly interestingly. As a physicist I feel pitty for myself not to have studied biology instead.

In the later chapters it comes to the point of mentally controlling the physics (of the body - the cells). There, and only there I am having a conflict. Not because I am in a tight scientific tube of thinking, but because it just can't be. What I mean to say is this:
Dr Lipton refers to 'buying into the disease'. To put my opinion clearly I will polarise with an example to the more extreme: Suppose I have no legs but 'I do not buy into that', will that make me walk?
OR: if I command my cells (in whatever way) not to feel the pain when walking hot coals, what happens with my command if the 'coals' appear to be 1000 degree Celcius. My feet will vaporise, if I feel it or not.

Dear Dr Lipton, you are a great man and I love you for this work and your enthusiasm, but there are real physical limitations as to what we can command our cells to do. I hope you can appreciate that.

I hope I'll ever meet you. Only one star reduction because of the latter argumentation.

Nevertheless one must and may not fail to share Dr Lipton's thoughts. A must have, a must read! Higly recommended.

This set of 8 CDs opens a window to understanding what is really going on at the cellular level of especially the human body and what this means for our health and well-being. Narrated by the author Bruce Lipton in an easy-to-listen-to way and also presented in language that is easily understood for the non-scientist, ordinary person in the street.

"I am listening to the CDs you sent me... they are fantastic... totally changing my understanding of life itself !

Thank you SOOO MUCH !"

That's the note I received from my son, a pretty brilliant guy himself, after sending him Bruce Lipton's The Wisdom of Your Cells CDs. My husband, a professor at UCLA, and I just sat enthralled by what we were hearing. We'd already read the book and I had also ordered all the DVDs available by Lipton. Listening to the CDs are totally expanding my consciousness. They wonderfully complement my other studies of quantum physics, consciousness, and health.

The information is enlightening and exciting. This is no small potatoes stuff. This is information people need to have. No matter who you are, you will get a lot from these CDs.

I love this series! Bruce Lipton discusses challenging topics with a passion that inspires my ears and mind. The chapters are well segmented too, and there are practical examples woven in.

Yey for teaching that soaks in.
Yey for updated health notions propagated by well-respected, western-trained experts.
Yey for holistic perspectives that allow us to be human, natural and in awe of existence.
Yey for passionate nerdiness.

The information to be found within this CD presentation is both indepth and astounding, HOWEVER there's a lot more and its even MORE MIND BLOWING!

I found this book utterly fascinating. I have my own collection of orb photos, and it was wonderful to read validation of their existence. I loved reading the two differing points of view about the orbs and hope that others will appreciate this phenomenon as well.

I had read articles about orbs and thought this book would be more objective in its approach and it really wasn't. While it's possible multi-dimensional entities appear as orbs I think these photographers are creating orbs in some way. They're NOT frauds. I believe these people are sincere. I just think that somehow --- maybe in their auras -- they're producing energy that manifests as orbs. Of course, if you think the 3D world is it, you won't like this book. Serious multi-dimensional investigators, however, might be disappointed.

I really enjoyed this book. It is the only book to date that has given some sort of scientific and spiritual explanation about orb photo's. I have been taking orb photo's since 2001 when I got my first digital camera. I think that there is much more to the story of orb's that we have only begun to figure them out. Thanks for writing a such a controversal book. I for beleive they are spiritual in nature. I will keep taking photo's of orbs as a amatuer photographer.

For several years, I have viewed orbs as evidence of the paranormal, ghosts, in a simpler word. I am now starting to rethink this perspective. After reading this book, which I was given to by a friend who has dealt with the paranormal for almost all of her life, I can honestly say that there's much more to this phenomenon that I realized.

First off, I no longer feel that orbs are evidence of deceased individuals. The may be beings living in an entirely different dimension, and through the technology embedded in our digital cameras we are able to see this energy crossing over.

The book itself was very well written, included a multitude of evidence comparing both genuine and artificial orb photographs, and approached the topic from two very different sides. The first part of the book explores the evidence itself, focusing on the technology and possible ways in which we're experiencing/documenting the phenomenon. The second half of the book, approaches the subject from a much more spiritual approach, seeking mankind's enlightenment.

I highly recommend this book, it gave my research plenty of new directions to explore.

It's my belief that The Orb Project, for what ever it may first appear to the skeptical scientific mind, is actually part of the early, entirely scientific, penetration of a frontier on a par with that of Magellan witnessing for the first time (in European history) the vast reaches of the central Pacific. In fact, the implications of this research stretch beyond the horizon of mere global exploration, (obviously no small claim on my part) because, what the book opens, and invites more of, is the systematic investigation of the possibility/proof of coexistent dimensions in interaction with our own, by witnessing the astounding, yet completely simple physical evidence, we ourselves confirm our own existence with constantly, photographs.

Clearly, the authors bring their own leanings and beliefs to the study; point in case, being Heinemann's insistence on the term "Spirit emanations". Apparently however, that did not dilute the rigorous scientific slice and dice they've spent collective decades scrutinizing their own and others' data with. So, although their "spirituality" fuels their investigation, as it may your own, it also provides a universe of speculation in that most scientific of probing questions - hypotheses. To quote Ledwith, however out of context "... it simply means that our understanding of "spiritual" would stand in sore need of redefinition.

And that's exactly what these two, I must say, brave man, are contributing to, by making it very clear what the difference is between a photograph of water droplets, dust, reflections, camera malfunctions, or what have you, and - an Orb. I guarantee that no matter how you respond to the information in this book, you'll never look at your digital photos the same way again. I highly recommend it.

Review by Jack McDaniel, author of What If, a Course in Exploring the Quantum Question of Consciousnes with Teenagers.

I enjoyed the book until about page 200, when the pages were out of order (not the page numbers, the text) and diagrams were missing. This edition of the book should be pulled from Amazon. Buy the paperback instead, the publisher got it right.

Before tackling this book, I had read some of Dr. Aczel's other works, such as The Mystery of the Aleph and Fermat's Last Theorem. I found those books quite enjoyable, so when I heard that he had published a new book on quantum entanglement, I could hardly wait to grab a copy.

After reading it through, I must say I am sorely disappointed to the work. I am still somewhat unclear as to what exactly entanglement is in any depth. His explanations, which are repeated at least a dozen times to no effect, are poor and left me confused. Diagrams are peppered throughout the book with no explanation or captions, leaving one to think that they're there just for eye-candy. Typos abound in the book and some pages are misnumbered (pages 232-4 especially). The book goes on and on about John Bell's famous theorem, but I am still confused as to what this theorem was and why we should care about it. In fact, the practical effects of entanglement aren't even gotten to until practically the last chapter -- the entire rest of the book is simply a biography on those who are or were working on entanglement.

Overall a terribly written book from an author whom I know can do much better. I am left confused as to the very subject matter the book purports to explain. Save your money on this one.

In 1935 Einstein, Rosen and Podolsky raised a serious criticism of quantum theory in the form of a paradox. The criticism meant that quantum theory brings about a "spooky action at distance" or "entanglement" between quantum subsystems. Two photons generated at a point with a correlation, for example, continue to have the correlation even after they are separated by a great distance, and a change in the state of one of them affects the other instantaneously. In 1964 John Bell proposed a mathematical theorem experimentally to test the existence of entanglement. Alain Aspect carried out such an experiment in 1982 to show that entanglement is a reality.

Even one of the greatest physicists in history, Albert Einstein, could not suppose that entanglement would be a reality. So it must be quite difficult to make ordinary person understand it. Amir Aczel tried to do this difficult task in this book, but he does not seem to have well succeeded. Just half of a total of 20 chapters is spent to describe the history of quantum mechanics, though a short mention about entanglement appears at a few places. Thus the reader who learned quantum mechanics to some extent at least would find the first half of the book rather tedious. From the story of debate between Einstein and Bohr in chapter 11, the book becomes interesting. However, the author explains neither Bell's theorem nor the details of many experiments understandably. On the final page, the author reveals the reason of difficulty in understanding entanglement writing, "... the quantum theory does not tell us why things happen the way they do; why are the particles entangled?" Was our expectation to the author too big?

A good point of the book is that it includes biographical descriptions of a lot of physicists related to quantum theory and entanglement. I have learned for the first time that Thomas Young, famous for the double slit experiment, was a child prodigy. Schrödinger's anecdotal "entanglement" with women are also told. A bad point is that writing and printing are made rather carelessly. For example, von Neumann's proof of the non-existence of hidden variable in quantum mechanics and John Bell's later challenge to Neumann's assumption are repeatedly described on pages 101 and 102. There are many typos, and especially the contents of pages 234 and 235 should be interchanged. This error, combined with sudden appearance of the description of Borromean rings on page 232, makes the reader confused around these pages.

This book makes the understanding of the greatest ideas in science as expressed mathematically that it should be taught to gradeschoolers.
It gives anyone who has ever breezed over the commutative property of addition/multiplication in math as simply fundamental, and without depth, a real understanding of exactly how important that property actually is; by logically and simply linking it directly to the uncertainty principal; helping some to understand it easily.
The rest of the book past the point of the commutative property and uncertainty does the same in the same fashion; and whos carese about tiepows if the message is being goteen across...understanding is what's important.
I digress...maybe it should be required reading only in magnet or schools for the more mentally endowed; however I see it as simply brilliant. (This review actually written by Brian Harred, I'm in my girlfriend's account because she was at amazon.com last on this computer).
Seriously, I highly recomend this book to anyone with an intuitive understanding of math and physics, but needs a really good, quick refresher...Brian Harred (also, how did that big blue statement about voting on our own reviews get RIGHT below my thoughts? The stars are not votes; they are the reviewer's opion as expressed in "stars"...

The majority of the book is a review of the history of physics leading up to the current understanding of entanglement, including much biographical information about the major players in the quantum mechanics arena. I would have liked to see more than just that last short chapter talking about the implications and possibilities of entanglement.

If this is the first time you've heard the words "quantum physics," then maybe you will get something out of this book. If you have the slightest familiarity with the subject, such as having read a science periodical article about it, this book is probably a waste of your time. Much of it is not very useful graphics and text blocks, and the actual narrative is sparse and overly simplistic. I have enjoyed most of Gribben's books, which is why I bought this one, it was a real disappointment...and a waste of money.

Was looking for a really patient basic book that would be as passionate as it was informative.... this volume was neither....

I have read several books on Quantum physics and I have never come accross such clear explanations on some strange concepts ranging from black body radiation to QED and Quantum teleportation. And in only 70 pages! I think Gribbin's strength is in its ability to explain advanced concepts from the layman's point of view.

The only audience which should consider this book is those who have a sincere interest in science but very little or no knowledge of quantum mechanics. Such readers can casually browse through this book and get a feel for how bizarre and interesting quantum mechanics is, thus whetting their appetite for further study. However, the book is very short, and it therefore lacks the depth and details needed to provide a meaningful understanding of the subject even at the popular science level. Most novices would therefore be better off skipping this book entirely and, instead, reading a more substantial book at the popular level, of which there are many. Readers beyond the novice level would definitely be better off skipping this book -- even for review purposes, they would find the book to be too superficial to be useful.

This is not the same book as given in the description. the "paperback edition" is an entirely different book by different authors! This is a treatment of superconductivity which is elementary only to a theoretical physicist.

The word origami in the title is deceiving. I was hoping for unit or modular origami models. The only folding that you do is of models that must be cut out, folded and taped together. Maybe I can find a chemistry teacher that might be interested in the book.

This book is fun. There is a full range of origami skill levels covered. You can create all sorts of molecules and crystal formations from the simple to the infamous buckminster Fullerenes ("buckyballs"). There is information about each item covered in the book. If I could change anything about this book, it would be to have the origami pages colored. With that exception, I thought the book was a very good time. (Who wants to make little paper swans for the rest of their life?)
