Persistence of Light


Book Description

John Hoyte was a student at Cambridge University who realized one day that a grant he might get could provide an interesting and unusual summer vacation. And thus was born the idea of leading an elephant over the Alps via the trails, paths, and mountain passes taken by Hannibal with his army and war elephants in 218 B.C to do battle with the Roman empire. Hoyte’s successful mission, with an elephant named Jumbo on loan from the Turin zoo, became a media sensation, leading to international coverage and starting him on the way to a fifty-year career as an inventor and entrepreneur in Silicon Valley. Hoyte’s story is a fascinating one, beginning with the six years of his childhood spent in a Japanese internment camp in China during World War II. Throughout the years that followed, he has taken each surprising twist and turn of fate and used it to help build a life infused with purpose, creativity and fulfillment.

In this exploration of quantum physics, he seeks to answer questions such as: Why does there have to be a here and a not-here? Is reality taught to us or does it simply exist? If we were to reduce or eliminate the persistence of reality, what would that be like? Are there possible parallel universes that have the same degree of reality as ours, and if so, what does that say about how our reality is determined in the first place? Albert Einstein said that reality is merely an illusion, and while the concepts in this book are complicated, you dont have to be a physicist to learn how his statement is true or how to deal with it on a personal level.
