Mind, Memory and Quantum Entanglement

Provocatively subtitled 'the estate agent who thought he was Einstein', this engaging and original book is part memoir and part intellectual autobiography documenting a 40-year search for the relationship between mind, memory and quantum entanglement, while explaining the author's key idea of duplication theory to account for pattern, order and structure: 'equal intervals in space – similar structures – tend to duplicate themselves through all time in one location. Equal intervals in time – similar actions – tend to duplicate themselves through all space at one time.' This idea is closest to the morphic resonance of Rupert Sheldrake, which the author discovered after reading A New Science of Life in the early 1980s, and there is some fascinating and detailed correspondence not only with Rupert, but also with Henry Margenau, Karl Pribram and Arthur Koestler. Nick falls within the category of the dedicated amateur making a serious contribution to important topics which will be appreciated especially by those with an interest in the interface of physics and consciousness studies as many details are relatively technical such as the transfer of information through time on a quantum basis in which randomness plays a role as Nick also postulates in relating intuition to random brain processes.
