This book is gibberish. But it's brilliant gibberish. Which kind of makes sense because he's explaining quantum physics, which is useful gibberish. Musser is either a charlatan or a great explainer. Or both. I read this book foolishly expecting him to explain quantum entanglement. He can't. Nobody can. Feynman said don't feel bad if you don't understand quantum physics - nobody does. I tossed the quantum entanglement problem to my really smart 10 year old grandson who has not yet been biased by a conventional physics education and even he couldn't figure it out. But his explanations were every bit as entertaining as Musser's explanations of whether time and space really exist. So why the 5 stars? He does a superb job of explaining all the nonsense theories. Very entertaining. My advice - Never try to read explanations of quantum physics sober. Read more
