From the Publisher:
Today nearly everyone is familiar with holograms, three-dimensional images
projected into space with the aid of a laser. Now, two of the world's most
eminent thinkers -- University of London physicists David Bohm, a former
protégé of Einstein's and one of the world's most respected quantum
physicists, and Stanford neurophysiologist Karl Pribram, one of the
architects of our modern understanding of the brain -- believe that the
universe itself may be a giant hologram, quite literally a kind of image or
construct created, at least in part, by the human mind. This remarkable new
way of looking at the universe explains now only many of the unsolved
puzzles of physics, but also such mysterious occurrences as telepathy,
out-of-body and near death experiences, "lucid" dreams, and even religious
and mystical experiences such as feelings of cosmic unity and miraculous
healings.
