For several years now, authors with New Age leanings have been claiming that the higher levels of quantum physics are proving consistent with many metaphysical beliefs about the nature of the universe, particularly the existence of the mysterious 'life force' held to underlie many ancient philosophical traditions. But where was the evidence for these assertions, at least at a level accessible to an ordinary reader without a doctorate in physics? Well, here it is, in a fascinating marriage of high science and spirituality, from the pen of journalist Lynne McTaggart, author of the groundbreaking book What Doctors Don't Tell You and editor of the magazine of that name. It's deliberately told as an unfolding detective story, and liberally sprinkled with vignettes detailing the private lives and thoughts of the scientists involved, based on her extensive conversations with them as well as their research findings. This is clearly a somewhat uncritical analysis and, unless you are a physics graduate, you will probably have to accept many of her explanations at face value. Inevitably it includes both orthodox findings and what many might regard as 'quasi-science'. The tale which emerges centres on the discovery of the Zero Point Field, a universal energy interconnecting the cosmos. This field exists in the apparent empty space of the universe and comprises a potentially vast energy source which might be tapped for space travel; explain at a quantum level the mysteries of gravity, inertia, DNA, consciousness, creativity and illness; alter the meaning of Einstein's famous equation E=mc2; and offer a scientific basis for phenomena as diverse as extrasensory perception, levitation, homoeopathy, healing and the power of prayer. It also purports to show, as metaphysicists have always claimed, that matter is a sort of illusion: the only fundamental physical entity is energy. An extraordinary analysis of the science of miracles. (Kirkus UK)

'An irresistible detective story for anyone who believes there is more to this world than meets the eye.'
Jacques Benveniste

'A fascinating presentation about the true nature of life.'
Bernie Siegel, M.D,

'One of the most thought-provoking reads of the year.'
'The Ecologist'

During the past few decades, science has begun to prove what ancient myth and religion has always espoused: that there may be such a thing as a life force. Frontier scientists all over the globe have produced extraordinary evidence to show that an energy field – the Zero Point Field – connects everything in the universe, and we ourselves are part of this vast dynamic cobweb of energy exchange.

Lynne McTaggart's book is a highly readable scientific detective story which reveals how the field is responsible for many of the most profound human mysteries, from alternative medicine and spiritual healing to extra-sensory perception and the collective unconscious.

'McTaggart's book should come with a warning: may forever change your world view.'
Larry Dossey, M.D.
