Who’s Afraid of Schrödinger’s Cat?A Dictionary of the New Scientific Ideas
by Danah Zohar
At the end of the nineteenth century, the British physicist Lord Kelvin advised his best
students to avoid a career in physics. “All the interesting work has been done there”,

way of looking at ourselves; our theories of mind and structures; global, political and
economic trends; the meaning of being human, and our place in the scheme of things.

and the seemingly irreconcilable and contradictory theorems that are at the heart of the
new science and the new thinking.
