"Age-old questoins such as 'What is reality?' and 'What is consciousness?' are now being tackled by scientists, suggesting that the metaphysics of today may be the science of tomorrow. [. . .] Talbot begins with an experiment that took place in Paris in the summer of 1982. Frenchman Alain Aspect led a team of physicists in an inquiry with measurements in the billinoths of a second. The results promise to confirm that one of the following possibilities is indeed fact: either what we call 'objective reality' does not exist or faster-than-light communication into the past and future can be achieved. 'Beyond the Quantum' also focuses on the work of many internationally known theoreticians, including Rupert Sheldrake and Sir Fred Hoyle of Cambridge Universtity, David Bohm of the University of London, and Nobel laureate Sir John Eccles." - from dust-jacket blurb.
