with-Nick Herbert |
| Nick Herbert holds a Ph.D. in experimental physics from Stanford University. He was senior scientist at Memorex, Santa Clara, and other Bay Area hardware companies specializing in magnetic, electrostatic, optical, and thermal methods of information processing and storage. He has taught science at all levels from graduate school to kindergarten including the development, with his wife Betsy, of a hands-on home-schooling science curriculum. Nick was the coordinator (along with Saul-Paul Sirag) of Esalen Institute's physics and consciousness program and has led many workshops on the quantum mechanics of everyday life. He is the author of Quantum Reality: Beyond the New Physics, Faster Than Light (published in Japan under the title Time Machine Construction Manual), Elemental Mind: Human Consciousness and the New Physics, and he devised the shortest proof of Bell's interconnectedness theorem to date. He has written on
faster-than-light
and quantum theory for such journals as the American
Journal of Physics and New
Scientist,
and is Fringe Science columnist for Mondo
2000. We interviewed Nick April 23, 1989, on a hill overlooking
Santa
Cruz, California. Nick spoke with us about the implications of Bell's
Theorem, superluminal loopholes in physics, and the secret
technologies
behind time travel and contacting the dead, including step-by-step
instructions
on how to build your very own time machine. Nick is an ardent disciple
of quantum theory's left-hand path, and his ability to humanize science
and his imaginative speculations on time travel make him both
fascinating
and fun. He has a way of making even the most complex concepts of
quantum
physics easily understandable. He is very warm, has a contagious sense
of humor, and has an uncanny talent for making the mundane seem
mysterious. |
