The Non-Local Universe - The New Physics and Matters of the Mind (Paperback, Revised)

In The Non-Local Universe, Nadeau and Kafatos offer a revolutionary look at the breathtaking implications of non-locality. They argue that since every particle in the universe has been "entangled" with other particles, physical reality on the most basic level is an undivided wholeness. In addition to demonstrating that physical processes are vastly interdependent and interactive, they also show that more complex systems in both physics and biology display emergent properties and/or behaviours that cannot be explained in terms of the sum of the parts. One of the most startling implications of nonlocality in human, terms, claim the authors, is that there is no longer any basis for believing in the stark division between mind and world that has preoccupied much of Western thought since the seventeenth century.
