Lee Smolin’s book, “Einstein’s Unfinished Revolution” is largely about particle/wave duality and an alternate theory that never caught on: the Pilot Wave theory. It’s a Realist alternative to the Anti-Realist school of Heisenberg, etc. As Feynman used to say, “nobody understands quantum physics”. I really don’t have a clue which theory is more “correct”. But the book’s interesting, and I recommend it. Also, an exploration of consciousness and quantum physics is central to the Dalai Lama’s, “The universe in a single atom”. Another book I highly recommend. He’s passionate about science, and it’s a thought provoking book. In “The Profound Mind”, he goes further into various philosophies, and has some really interesting things to say on consciousness, subjectivity, etc. Quantum Mechanics attracts a lot of “woo”. I didn’t find the Dalai Lama’s books to fall into that category — more philosophical than anything else. Just worth mentioning. It’s a shame, in general, how much pseudoscience surrounds Quantum Mechanics — the reality of things is plenty interesting and confounding on its own!
