Summary: 2 Stars
"The Field: The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe," Lynne McTaggart, NY, Harper Perennial, 2002 ISBN 0-06-093117-5, pbk 227/268 pgs., (Notes 18 pg., Biblio. 18 pg., Index 4 pg.) 8" x 5 1/4"
Never judge a book by its cover is indisputably "proven" by this investigative journalist author wanting in basic scientific credentials who wrestles with quantum theoreticals to cackle a holistic Theory Of Everything in a mangled Epilog comparable to the general unified (GUT)theory beyond the reaches of Einstein, Heisenberg, etc.
Admittedly, I was lured to read the book based on its title & ranking, & I felt uneasy upon reading page VIII (Ackn.) "If something like homeopathy worked, it upended everything we believe about our physical and biological reality. One of the two - homeopathy or standard medical science had to be wrong." This distortion of logic was too bold, overly assuming & even nonsensical - but then, it now did require the author to offer-up proof that homeopathy worked so we (the readers) could now witness Madison Avenue at it's Finest, like the "hook" of the Sit-Coms to tune in after commercial breaks, and be consumed with her Ed, Bill, Hal, Bernie, Fritz Popp (33 and good-looking), Benveniste, etc., specululate on matters truly philosophical. Intermixed are vague references to E=MC2, holography, PAF, 'photon sucking', DNA, Zero Point Field (HPF),ADIS, OJ Simpson, telekinesis, REG, RNG, EDA & a revelation that homeopathy works by memory imparted to water so to exhibit 'coherent domains' via coherent photons, a process where "shaking of the containers, as is done in homeopathy, appears to act as a method of speeding up the process," concluding "water is like a tape recorder, imprinting & carrying information whether the original molecule is still there or not."
The author writes dangerously well for the near & non-scientific community, the 'New Age', & those wont to mythologies of sorts.
