Chapters

Chapter Sneak Peek

A look inside Reality 2.0 - Here are some of the chapters

Chapter 01: Introduction – Is There a Hole in the Universe?

Why even the best science leaves some of life’s biggest questions unanswered — and why that matters for everyone.

Chapter 04: Why Reason?

Reason isn’t cold or optional—it’s the tool that lets us test ideas and talk to each other honestly. Here you’ll see what reason does well, and where it needs help.

Chapter 10: Materialism

Materialism explains a lot—but not everything. We examine what it gets right, where it falls short (mind, meaning, value), and why “matter only” can’t be the full story.

Chapter 13: The Best Mystery of the Twentieth Century

From quantum experiments to observer effects, twentieth-century physics shook our assumptions. This chapter shows, in plain language, why those results matter for any honest view of reality.

Chapter 18: A New Model of Reality

Here the pieces connect: a practical framework that puts consciousness and the physical world into the same picture—clear enough to use, humble enough to test.

Chapter 20: The Meaning of Life

Meaning isn’t make-believe or a luxury. We lay out a grounded way to talk about purpose—how it arises, how to recognize it, and how to live it without pretending.

Chapter 21: What About Religion?

This chapter opens an honest conversation: what religion can offer, where it overreaches, and how faith and evidence can engage without bullying each other.

Glimpse

A Glimpse Inside Reality 2.0

This is a book about the universe, and it was written for you.
Why, of all things, did I decide to take on the universe? Well, it didn’t start out that way.
…
So, could what I’m saying possibly be true? Could science and math lead us toward some sort of deeper understanding of life and reality? I think so, and it’s quite a good story.
Read on.
