The Quantum Brain is an adventure in the science of ideas. It is the first book on the brain that combines a grasp of the physics of the microcosm and the technologies of artificial intelligence, neural networks, and self-organizing systems, with a recognition of the transcendant properties that define the mind and differentiate it from matter. Although the subject is inherently difficult and novel, Jeffrey Satinover is an inspired guide through the fertile areas of convergence among the pivotal sciences of the age. From such insights will emerge both new technologies and new philosophies and theologies for the Twenty First Century.
Nothing is too wonderful to be true.
Too much of a good thing can be wonderful. The supreme abundance of the telecosm is the electromagnetic spectrum, embracing all the universe of vibrating electrical and magnetic fields, from power line pulses through light beams to cosmic rays. Set by the permeability of free space, this minimal span determines the speed of light. In one of the most important issues in the history of the GTR, George Gilder proclaims that Uniphase, now JDSUniphase, will be for the fiber optic era what Intel was for the computer era, the fundamental enabler of the dominant technology of our time. In March of 1999, with the capitulation of the GSM forces in Europe, CDMA's world wide victory became assured.
