Dear Graham Pemberton,

I read it, with all the attention your series deserves until the final chapter; I reread some excerpts that I did not quite understand, took notes, copied paragraphs I thought were important.

Like you, I am not a medical doctor or a physicist.

I am a civil engineer and graduated from the Polytechnic School of the University of São Paulo – USP, in 1958.

Passionate about Cosmology, Technology, Physics and Philosophy, I read and read a lot.

When I was forty or a little older, I enrolled in the distance-learning course in physics at USP. But, at that time, it required many hours of face-to-face classes and, working very early on to graduate, then to help my parents and siblings until they graduated, I could not take the course.

Even with the specific knowledge on Physics and correlate matters I cannot follow but eat around the edges.

Cosmology texts are much more accessible; in Philosophy, I could learn from the good books we have at our disposal, delve deeper and debate on university websites and read works and theses by philosophers.

I have only published two novels and a book of poems.

Whether people like physics or not, Quantum Theory has become the subject of newscasts, special presentations and texts for laypeople, and the cause of passionate comments and discussions, and criticism, even from highly reputable physicists and physicians.

About the Theory of Everything, the best and clearest I've seen is Michio Kaku's explanation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvFjeFGHFds&t=160s, which, by the way, I quote in a te my posts here on Medium.

As many others that I know, I'm a spiritualist and an atheist.

I wasn't always an atheist; I converted to atheism for two main reasons:

• Due to my Freudian analysis during at almost ten years started with Professor Armando Ferrari, continued with renowned teachers. Early on, my dreams, which I related to him, called my attention to the Collective Unconscious, and I became interested in Jung and Jungianism.

• For Science, and epistemology, as a corollary, for theories of knowledge.

In my view, with all the limitations I have and admitted, your series was built, beforehand, with competence and use of true references, just to prove your thesis that quantum theory proves the reunification of science and religion, that religions are believable and true even perhaps that they prove the existence of God, which is most evident when announcing that the last chapter promised “Having made the case with these four authors that there is a strong connection between the quantum physics revolution and the Eastern religions, in the next article this story will take a strange turn”.

And this last chapter is the anticlimax of what it announced: it is the initial objective of the series, more objections to those that would apparently deny you thesis.

It leads me to produce a new text, which I hope to be less partial than you.

But, I repeat Congratulations on your series and clear writing, perfectly understandable by laymen like me...
