Reviews for Beyond Star Trek
34 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Excellent! Especially the second half where there's a lot of quantum discussion, including an explanation of the "quantum froth" from "The Cosmic Code" (though he doesn't call it that). Also physics explanations of why telekineses, telepathy, et. al. are very unlikely due to the enormous energy requirements, lack of known "force of nature" to impart the force/info, etc.
