The One
How an Ancient Idea Holds the Future of Physics

"A particle physicist makes the scientific case for an ancient idea about the nature of the universe: that all is One... Blending physics, philosophy, and the history of ideas, The One is an epic, mind-expanding journey through millennia of human thought and into the nature of reality itself."

PRAISE

"A heady mix of history, philosophy and cutting-edge theory that is fascinating", "stimulating and engrossing", "provocative and at times infuriating".
(The Wall Street Journal)

"intriguing, controversial book for general readers on the mysteries of quantum physics"
(Nature Book Review)

"the history is thoroughly researched, the physics is cutting edge and Päs's larger point resonates: much, or maybe all, of what we take for reality is an artifact of our limited perspectives"
(Scientific American)

"I'll never see reality the same way again!"
(George Musser, author of "Spooky Action at a Distance")

"An enticing read for those who seek to understand their place in nature"
(Sabine Hossenfelder, author of "Lost in Math" and "Existential Physics")

"Päs delivers an entertaining and enlightening tour of physics, religion, and philosophy, yielding a monistic vision of fundamental reality as a vast unified whole"
(Jonathan Schaffer, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at Rutgers University)

The Perfect Wave
With Neutrinos at the Boundary of Space and Time

[Erhältlich auch auf Deutsch]

"Some science books are good because they tell you a lot about science. Some are good because they present their examples and argument in very well written prose. A few do both. 'The Perfect Wave' is one of the few."
(Wall Street Journal)

"The ghostly neutrino - a mutable, almost massless particle... stars in this scientific history"
(Nature)

"Physics buffs will relish his explanations"
(The Economist)

"Takes readers on a wild ride in pursuit of the neutrino - part ghost, part outlaw, part Holy Grail to theoretical physicists"
(Publishers Weekly)

"One of the most accessible, informative and flat-out bridge-building science books read in years"
(City Book Review)
