Strange Entities by Chris Carvell

For readers seeking a mind-bending and consciousness-expanding read, Strange Entities: Quantum Processes linking Creation and Consciousness: An exploration connecting Material Reality and Non-Material Reality by Chris Carvell should top their reading list.

There has been a great deal of discussion in recent decades about quantum physics and mechanics, as well as superposition, quantum entanglement, quantum tunneling and many other highly academic niches that can boggle the average, non-physicist reader. This book attempts to simplify a massive range of related topics and find the logical connections between the quantum scale and the universal scale.

Essentially, if our consciousness is contained in cells within the brain, and these cells are composed of atoms, which are fundamentally guided by quantum principles, then our existence, perception, and consciousness is also a function of quantum uncertainty. If that sentence made your brain hurt, trust Chris Carvell to make the connections far more clear.

While some of the text veers into the overly verbose and academic, this book is intended to be accessible for lay readers, and it is mostly successful. The most confusing aspect is the fluidity with which the author moves between theoretical and proven science. His explanations are clear and his logical conclusions are sound, but it can be difficult to determine what is currently possible, and what exists only as hypothesis. That being said, the simplification of such complex subjects is an impressive achievement, and the innovative ideas presented in Strange Entities are fascinating from start to finish.
