At the Edge of Time is a startling new addition to the body of
literature called reality theory. Donald W. Jarrell contends that
there are two realities, one a virtual reality of time and space
and a second reality beyond time and space. Many philosophers and
physicists agree that time is only an illusion. The author takes
this notion one quantum leap forward, using findings of quantum
mechanics and neuroimaging to show that both time and our everyday
world are illusions, that what we experience as time and space is
an impenetrably real virtual reality. It may seem not appropriately
scientific to take a theory of reality-the dual reality theory-and
apply it to other areas of our world, as the author does, before
the theory has been proven by experiment. Upon reading the book, it
will be clear that, as with the hypotheses of dark energy and dark
matter, it is not possible to definitively prove or disprove the
theory; the universal laws of physics very effectively prevent
this. The author, therefore, has chosen to turn that usual approach
on its head. If the dual reality theory is correct, it should serve
to explain our world in ways that allow us to understand, to
change, and to accurately predict events. And these changes and
predictions are themselves subject to testing by experiment (either
of the laboratory or thought variety). The theory has been used, in
At the Edge of Time, to explain phenomena such as time, wave
function collapse, the space-traveling-twin saga, the many-worlds
interpretation, Bell's theorem, particles in superposition, the
holographic universe, and gravity. The author also has used the
theory to explain some phenomena which scientists are frequently
reluctant to write about, such as dreams and hypnosis. These were
included because the theory should, if correct, shed light on these
phenomena as well. The dual reality theory, in the opinion of the
author, will enable the reader to understand phenomena that were
opaque or not fully explained using other theories. Whether the
theory does in fact serve this purpose is for readers to decide.
