Le monde quantique et la conscience

Are we robots or actors within our own lives? Quantum physics raises important philosophical and metaphysical questions. This book shows how it can answer this fundamental question which man has asked since the dawn of time: Are we free to make real choices or are our choices actually predetermined by factors we remain unaware of? In other words, does free will exist? In this work which remains accessible to non-specialists, the author draws on theories of quantum physics to show that it is the free choices that we make which create reality, and not reality which creates our consciousness. This notion, which transforms our vision of man and the world, encourages us to assume greater responsibility, as our choices are therefore capable of altering what surrounds us depending on the ideals we have opted for. TABLE OF CONTENTS The classical ideas, Waves, Particles and spirits, Orthodox quantum mechanics: the free choice of the observer and the random choice of Nature, The causal impact of our intentions, The reality and long-distance phantom action, Retrocausality?
