Autorenporträt

For several decades, Geoff Stone has been grappling with a few of the deepest mysteries that reality has presented humanity with. His interests were first sparked as a student of philosophy, after having been introduced to the strange observer-dependent behaviour of both quantum objects, and the speed of light. Inside academia he covered metaphysics, and psychophysics, but it wasn't until after leaving academia that he decided to wade deeper into the complexities of theoretical physics.The Supervelocity and Selection theory of Light is a small part of a much larger project that focuses on refining and applying basic concepts and answering difficult questions about quantum mechanics. What is infinity? What is randomness? What is information? How do continuous and discrete variables interact? What is entropy? What is probability? What is observation?In this first book, Geoff Stone presents his wildest and most disruptive idea.
