Nearly a century ago, the endeavor to explain the world solely through mathematical physics abruptly and utterly collapsed. As physicist Nick Herbert notes, “One of science’s best-kept secrets is that physicists have lost their grip on reality.” We are now informed that the universe arises spontaneously from “nothing” and forms a “multiverse,” where “anything that can happen will happen, and it will occur an infinite number of times.” The elusive and legendary genius Wolfgang Smith reveals, through surprisingly straightforward reasoning, the impasse that physics has reached and how we might “finally return to the real world.” “The End of Quantum Reality” introduces this remarkable individual to a modern audience that may have never encountered a true philos-sophia—someone equally comfortable with the complexities of quantum physics and the profound insights of the greatest human wisdom traditions.
