It was the last straw when my pseudo-science friend said that I just had to read Gary Zukav's The Dancing Wu Li Masters: An Overview of the New Physics and Fritjof Capra's The Tao of Physics : An Exploration of the Parallels Between Modern Physics and Eastern Mysticism.
When the psychics and Taoists started using quantum physics to support their eastern mysticism points of view, things had gone too far. I could take it no longer. Zukav calls quantum physics "non-reality based physics". Non-reality based physics? Isn't that an oxymoron? Of course it is!
That's when Model of Reality was born. Ever since my physics graduate studies at the University of Texas in 1983, I knew that quantum mechanics was not the final answer. But I could not figure out what was really happening in the strange microscopic world. So I left the world of physics. In essence, "I couldn't put up, so I shut up".
But, on my own, I continued to work on and off for two decades, searching for the real answers that I so greatly coveted. Finally I came upon the theoretical discovery that I knew I needed! What an amazing discovery! Thus, I was highly motivated to do the tedious calculations, computer programming, and mental work to write Model of Reality between the years 1998 and 2002.
