At The Crossroads of Emotion and Reason

About the Book

Illusion has many real examples in nature. This working table I am writing on, a piece of wood, is so firm, so rigid, so static that it is hard to believe that literally trillions of electrons in it are moving almost at the speed of light. Its rigidity is an illusion, like a magic. This universe is a Magic Kingdom in the Disney World!
