Dr. Quantum Presents A User's Guide to Your Universe

I thought I was getting a up to date explaination in layman's terms of Quantum Mechanics and Relativity. Instead I get what sounds like a Tao/Buddist/Eastern Philosophy on Life in the Universe. This is not for someone interested in Physics. If you want to know someone's idea of where you fit in the Universe this is your book.

A wasted Credit for me....

I thought that this book is scientific. It started with a scientific introduction then moved to pseudoscientific talk promoting Yoga, Shamanism, Kabbalah etc. This lacked the scientific method and the author kept saying his "suggestions" and "thoughts" with no evidence and wanted the audience to believe him. Most of the time, the author was telling his stories with the Shamans and the like.
It was a waste of time and money.

Yep, Fred is an animated type presentor but he has good stuff. You have to weed out what you think is worth it, and to me, this fits into the self development range. If you wish to look at things in a new light but don't understand the other physics guys, give fred a try. Be open minded and light hearted on the approach, but do go ahead and listen. You may learn something worth far more then the 1 credit.

This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.

If your expectations are that you have science all figured out and you just want someone to tell you what you already think you know, then this recording with violate your expectations. But, if you do not think you have it all figured out and you want to experience one way in which quantum physics can take you down the rabbit hole of weirdness, this recording is for you

What this audio book is and is not. If you are looking for a straight up book on Physics this is not it. This is a book about Quantum Physics and or Quantum Theory. This looks at the world of energy and particles. Looking at the world from this point of view is surreal. The author then takes his knowledge Quantum Physics and shows how this is applicable in the spiritual world and his own spiritual journey. This book combines Quantum Theory and New Age philosophy. The author is quaky zany and a lot of fun to listen to. He is quite animated, perhaps a bit patronizing. However, I find him fun to listen to. If this type of thing is your cup of tea you will enjoy it. I did.

There were many interesting points to ponder in this book. I enjoyed the author's enthusiasm but many times I felt it to be overwhelming and overly dramatic. I considered not finishing the book because the delivery was unprofessional, the logic was haphazard, and he seemed to be shooting from the hip and never making his point after rambling about a topic for several minutes.

Disappointed that after about chapter 3, "Dr. Quantum" turned into "Dr. New Age", and went all mystical. His ideas about how we're all linked at the quantum level are neither new nor plausible.

Look Matilda, you're a good physicist, but you can't tell people that they are in a paradoxical state, yogi or otherwise without giving proofs of how you come up with such nonsense. In addition, cut it out with the German dialect, enshultegen sie, unser kuhlshrank ist leer! People like your voice, keep it that way through the entire book. I am posting this review and NOT posting it at the same time, so depending on whether you are reading this or not depends on what universe you chose to wake up on this morning.

I agree with Thomas. What we got here was an educated idiot, who rambles on and on for hours, saying the same thing over and again. The book definately never breaks the boundries between nonsense and second grade science.

Dr. Wolf certainly knows his subject and that subject is fascinating. While the assembly of information and the progression of the talk is good the presentation is poor.

It would seem that Dr. Wolf is attempting to teach Quantum Physics to Grade Schoolers. The over acting and often childish commentary is distracting. It would have been better if Dr. Wolf had delivered his talk in a more serious way while keeping an element of humour where appropriate.
