Field : The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe

Non Scientific

Very New Ageish. Taking a few scientific facts and overlaying them with LOTS of metaphysical speculation.

Waste of money

Mostly a historical narrative of research in zero point theroy. Which is better explained in Paul Davies book The Goldie Locks Enigma on one page (148). Very tedious book.

If I didn't know it was non-fiction I'd think it was fiction

This is fantastic! I have never read about all of this scientific research, about the 'field' that connects everything, including thoughts and matter. This is a great book and very well written too. Just great, and it would make a great topic for a discussion group -- great food for thought in here.

Scientists Explore the Last Frontier - the Zero Point Field

With an ear for human interest and eye for detail, Lynne McTaggart masterfully tells the true story in THE FIELD of how pioneers in science and consciousness research are working to achieve a more complete understanding of the true nature of reality -- an understanding which includes (rather than ignores) consciousness. THE FIELD describes how scientists have gradually become aware of what appears to be a unifying energy structure in our universe. This 'Zero Point Field' provides us with a simpler explanation for how things work than previous overly-complex ideas require. Simplicity in science is a good thing, because it generally indicates which theories will win out as time goes by. The Zero Point Field theory demonstrates it's elegant simplicity by allowing physicists to derive the famous equation F=ma (rather than take it as a starting assumption), and by helping medical practitioners understand the underlying scientific basis for homeopathy. Our scientific conceptualization of this universe has changed considerably over the last few centuries and now faces one of the biggest overhauls ever -- and THE FIELD demonstrates why the Zero Point Field is likely to be the last frontier for us to explore. THE FIELD is packed with detailed descriptions of some of the most exciting experiments recently conducted by leading researchers in the field of consciousness such as: Cleve Backster, Jacques Benveniste, William Braud, Bob Jahn, Edgar Mitchell, Fritz-Albert Popp, Hal Puthoff, Rupert Sheldrake, Russell Targ, Elisabeth Targ, and Charles Tart. I give this book my highest recommendation.

I LOVED this book!

I have never read a book that so rocked my world. It is breathtaking. I cannot recommend it highly enough to anyone who is curious about how the world works, or wants to learn what is beyond traditional science's reduction of the world (and us) to nothing more than mechanical pieces functioning in set ways. No, I take that back. Everyone should read this book. It is THE layman's guide to the cutting edge of physics. I will never look at anything, from the apple on my desk to the beating of my heart to the thoughts in my head, in the same way again. My only warning is that it may cause you many sleepless nights.

I'd recommend this book and The Intention Experiment!

This book is solid and informative about how the mind influeces reality. I read The Intention Experiment first (which came after this), and both are very interesting if your lookin for something about mind/reality/meditative. Give it a chance and I assure you, you'll love it.

The Field

I enjoyed the book and seeing the scientific proof that the Field ( collective consciousness) exists and seeing the possibility of developing the individual as well as the good it can do for society. It was an interesting read.

Lynn McTaggart is awesome!

Lynn McTaggart never fails to amaze me. I learn something new everytime I read one of her books. This is a book I placed in my library and refuse to part with. I've read it multiple times and enjoy more each time. Useful information and inspriing to think the world is still full of magic. This book is easy to read and understand. Lynn talks with various scientists and puts the most cutting edge quantum physics in a language everyone can understand. Discusses scientific research by top universities and by our own government. This book put all the pieces together for me. I've even used names of scientists from this book to find other books written on the subject. I highly recommend this book. I added it to my permanent library.

Is this audio cd as good as the book?

The audio cd does not say how long it is and therefore it might just be a short rendering of the book. Is it???

Finally, I have my answers!

This book is full of amazing facts and clinical information regarding quantum physics and the existence of what is called "the field." Basically, science has known for years that the spaces between matter (objects, people) are not empty, but are full of energy. Energy that has amazing power and potential. The interviews conducted by McTaggart were undoubtedly challenging for her as a journalist, and non-scientific person. She has taken concepts that are typically communicated as mathematical equations by physicists and translated them into living, breathing examples that everyone can understand and relate to. At least one thing in this book will hit you over the head and you'll have a major AH-HA! moment. Great for fans of "What the Bleep" and those who enjoy "The Living Matrix."

A few new Ideals!

Well read

great

A great stepping stone for anyone begining the wacky world of quantum physics.
