Title: The Universe and Multiple Reality: A Physical Explanation for Manifesting, Magick and Miracles by M. R. Franks ISBN: 0-595-29472-3 Publisher: iUniverse, Inc. Pub. Date: 08 October, 2003 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $10.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.29 (7 reviews)

Summary: Galileo or Einstein
Comment: "Postulates with no explanation" is also what critics said of Galileo and Einstein. Such criticism usually comes from those heavily invested in the current orthodoxy, from those unable or unwilling to see beyond the box.
Genius, it is said, instantly recognizes genius, while mediocrity knows nothing better than itself.
This book is BRILLIANT!
Recall Occam's Razor: The simplest explanation is probably the correct one. Einstein's General Theory of Relativity didn't drone on for hundreds and hundreds of pages. Those who fault brevity should spend their money on longer, more expensive, but far less insightful works.
This book, however, can change your view of the universe and even of life itself. It's a must for those with the courage to view things differently but far more clearly.

Summary: I couldn't agree more...
Comment: I agree completely with the previous reviewer - postulates with no explanations - is what you will find in this short book, filled mainly with quotes from other authors & experts. I was also inclined to read the book since it received such a positive online rating. However, further inspection of the reader reviews show they are redundant, lacking real substance, and biased. Why else would a reader seek to criticize all other similar titles (ex. The Elegant Universe, The Theory of Everything and even Deutsch's great writing) with the same useless lingo of 'bunny fluff', 'puffery', etc. only to recommend this book in each? I am sorry, the only thing PUFFED up, are some of the reviews.
As an intelligent reader and theorist who has studied parallel universes and quantum physics, I prefer a text that answers what it claims to, not a brief with quotes from authors, whom have ironically been bashed. I was left more confused than satisfied and asked myself "what IS the purpose of this book"?
Although a bit disappointing, it remains a good read but is much better as an extensive editorial. I gave the author an extra star for creativity, intellect and excellence in writing but would have really preferred to read about his own perspectives/theories to offer an explanation to the postulates put forth in the book.

Summary: Neither physics nor explanation
Comment: I bought the book beacause I was intrigued by the title and mislead by 5 stars from other reviewers. The concept of Mr. Franks is : our mind affects our environment (universe) and in a certain way is our universe. This is an interesting, though by no means new, concept. You might find interesting (philosophical) thoughts and questions in the book, but unfortunately the book fails to provide a physical - as promised in subtitle - explanation on the subject. Explanation, I think, must be based on a theory, but the book does not provide any theory at all (which is not surprising considering the size), just mentions some modern quantum physics concepts. The book consists of seven chapters (a few pages per chapter), each of them briefly discusses one postulate. Here some of the postulates: chapter 1:"Every conceivable energy state exists"; chapter 3: "All imagined energy states can be ordered"; chapter 6: "Each conscious being's trail through the lattice is unique to that being". Well, you got the picture. Where those postulates come from is not clear (of course, they do not come from anywhere - therefore they are postulates), and consequently the conclusions seem quite arbitrary. I'm asking myself why to bother to write a book if you can just postulate whatever you like right away. Further, I think, almost half of the book consists of citations of others. My impression is that, when abridged, it could be a suitable article for a newspaper or a magazine.
