What is Real, by Adam Becker
An unhelpful rehash of already well understood people, events, and theories. The book is
clearly an exercise in popular science attempting to reach a broader audience though one may
less charitably say attempting to publish unoriginal thought and make a quick buck with a good marketing campaign.
In the interest of fairness, the book did provide me with a very satisfying ah-ha moment when
discussing the multiple universes theory of Everett, and how it arose from the desire not
to collapse the schrodinger waveform, as described specifically in the cat example. By
splitting into two universes for the two possible outcomes at the moment of observation, one
avoids the need to collapse the wave to a single result. Made some of the lead up to that part worth the trip.
