A new popular science book God Does Play Dice With the Universe will
be published this year. The book will reveal a deep secret of nature
for the first time. It is that every thing in the universe, no matter
it is an atom or a ball or even a star, jumps in a random and
discontinuous way. In a famous metaphor, God does play dice with the
universe. The book can now be downloaded from the website
http://www.quantummotion.org/. Happy reading!

-------------------------------------------
We live in a classical world. Yet, there is a ghostlike atomic world
underneath. Everyone knows that a ball is composed of atoms. But
nobody knows what atoms look like, and especially, how in hell atoms
move. They don't look like small balls at all; for instance, a single
atom can pass through two slits at the same time. The more stunning
fact is that we don't exactly know how a ball moves either. It appears
to move in a continuous way. This, however, is a mere illusion. Even
the greatest scientists Newton and Einstein were also deluded by the
appearance.

How about the real motion then? The new book will lead you to walk out
Plato's cave along a logical and comprehensible road. After passing
Zeno's arrow, Newton's inertia, Einstein's light, and Schrodinger's
cat, you will finally reach the real world, where every thing in the
universe, whether it is an atom or a ball or even a star, jumps in a
random and discontinuous way. In a famous metaphor, God does play dice
with the universe. In this new picture of reality, thing is not inert
but active; it ceaselessly jumps by its own "free will". Moreover,
such motion will entangle the universe into an inseparable whole in
the form of time division. Is this new world not amazing?

Life is transitory. Everyone is a mere mote in the universe. But God
gives us mind; thus we can see and understand the real world. The most
happiness is not beyond this. As the great Chinese sage Confucius
taught us, "Hear the Tao in the morning, and it would be all right to
die that evening." I hope that this book will not only tell you a
startling new picture of the world, but also bring you a colorful
life.

The book is free on the website http://www.quantummotion.org/
