4 "AT LAST THE MAP OF THE WORLD HAS BEEN FREED FROM ITS OLD RESTRICTIONS AND CAN BE REDRAWN WITH FREEDOM AND CREATIVITY. SYNCHRONICITIES ARE TRUE PATTERNS OF THE UNIVERSE, CONNECTIONS THAT MOVE BEYOND THE DISTINCTION OF MATTER AND MIND. THEY ARE ECHOES AND REFLECTIONS THROWN OUT BY THE TIMELESS PLAY OF THE UNIVERSE."
F. David Peat, physicist, philosopher, and author, continues the ground-breaking work he began in Synchronicity: The Bridge Between Matter and Mind in this astonishing new look at the emerging science of synchronicity. From Schrödinger's cat to Heisenber Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, this rapidly developing field draws on both psychology and physics to examine the true nature of coincidence-the sudden recognition of the overreaching patterns that organize, inform, and illuminate our everyday lives.
In The Philosopher's Stone, Dr. Peat reveals an order to existence that is even deeper than we at first realized, a universal connectedness out of which mind and matter emerge. Most exciting of all, he suggests that the very atoms of our bodies are "conscious" of this order, giving us access to a limitless source of creativity and health. In language at once lucid and lyric, Dr. Peat explains the interrelated phenomena of serendipity and chaos science, the scientific correspondences of Eastern philosophies and Western physics, the linguistic properties of the genetic code, the connection between cell communication and the immune system, and much more.
The Philosopher's Stone is a guidebook to the way the world works based on the most exciting and revolutionary of recent scientific discoveries-that beneath the apparent chaos there is a deep-seated order to the universe.

He has worked actively as a theoretical physicist in England and Canada.
But Peat's interests expanded to include psychology, particularly that of Carl Jung, art and general aspects of culture, including that of Native America. Peat is the author of many books including a biography of David Bohm, with whom Peat collaborated, books on quantum theory and chaos theory, as well as a study of Synchronicity. Since moving to the village of Pari in Italy, Peat has created the Pari Center for New Learning.

This was a very interesting book that has peaked my interest in nonlinear equations, Newton's work in alchemy, Carl Jung and Marie Louise von Franz' works, and Moshe Feldenkrais. Also, trying to visualize 5 and 6 dimensions makes my head hurt.

I liked this book, though it was very similar to "Synchronicity: The Bridge Between Matter and Mind." It discusses quantum physics and the underlying unity and symmetry of the world.

Einige Dinge sind ganz gut dargestellt. Die Insektenpopulation und Chaos verstehe ich nun schon etwas besser.
