Autor

For most of his life, Geoff Stone has been grappling with a few of the deepest mysteries that reality has presented humanity with. His interests were first sparked as a student of philosophy, after having been introduced to the strange observer-dependent behaviour of both quantum objects and the speed of light. Inside academia, he covered metaphysics and psychophysics, but it wasn't until after leaving academia that he decided to wade deeper into the unsolved problems of theoretical physics.This is the first of a three-part series which scrutinizes the basic concepts of quantum mechanics in light of their history and utility. Future investigations will focus on bringing clarity to our understanding of information, observation, randomness, probability, symmetry, chaos, noise, infinity, irrational numbers, imaginary numbers, fractals and holograms.
