God and Quantum Physics
Physics cannot show that a corporal, godlike figure exists in the universe. However, the major religions of the world, especially Christianity, describe God as a spiritual energy and not corporal. Quantum physics says there exists a universal energy that has the attributes of God. This energy has consciousness and creativity. All matter is composed of this energy. This energy was responsible for the Big Bang. Professor emeritus William Tiller, a physicist at Stanford University, has shown this energy can interact with human consciousness. This book takes you through a non-mathematical proof of the physics of these assertions. About the Author
The author studied quantum physics and general relativity in graduate school at Penn State. His Ph.D. thesis was on general relativity. In June 1970, after working at two other organizations, he joined The John Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU/APL). At JHU/APL he became recognized as an international expert on wave propagation (acoustic, electromagnetic and seismic). He wrote a book Acoustic applications to oceanic science, published by John Wiley. He presented his work at professional meetings in London and Paris. His work dealt mainly with the detection of submarines by both acoustic and non-acoustic methods. One non-acoustic method was the detection of neutrinos emitted by the submarine's nuclear reactor. He was the Chief Scientist for his group. While at JHU/APL he taught astronomy at The University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). He retired in 2013 at age 77 and decided to write this book which he finished in 2020.

Such an interesting read!
Such an interesting read! I would never have thought that I could get through a physics book written by someone who studied and got his Ph.D. in the subject. You do not have to know much about physics to enjoy and understand this book. The author, C. Allan Boyles, gives you clear-cut information and allows you to conjecture, and invites you to ask questions about our universe. If you are ready to think deeply about our universe and how energy works and what it means, then this is the book for you! I was presented with new, fascinating information, and the points the author made were profound. I had to stop and process his writing more than a few times. The true beauty of this book is that it does not matter whether you consider yourself a religious person or not, this book will surely captivate your interest and make you wonder about this amazing world we live in.

E=mc^2 but KISS (keep it simple stupid)
About 50 years ago I conjectured that God’s physical state might be light. Light fills the universe (omnipresence) and at the speed of light, time stands still and God is always in the present now. As I learned in later years of quantum foam (quantum fluctuations resulting in generation of matter and antimatter from nothing), I realized this is the physics of creation (making something from nothing). So I purchased this book which was right “up my alley “ of interest.
The attempt to reveal the field of quantum physics by the use of helpful diagrams were not user friendly in a Kindle format. I would recommend buying the book for negotiating from text to diagrams or figures. Then quantum physics might be more simply understood.
I found the writing informative and interesting, but difficult to endorse but considering that 95% of the physical universe is unknown, no one treatise can resolve the question of God.

This book looks at possible connections between science and conceptions of God.
In the Introduction, the author states that he is not trying to prove, or disprove, the existence of God. The world's major religions, including Christianity, say that God is not corporeal, but is spiritual energy. According to quantum physics, the universe is not empty, but is full of energy that has creativity and consciousness. This energy can interact with human consciousness and is responsible for the Big Bang. That is what this non-mathematical book is all about.
Take your time with this book; there is no need to understand all of quantum physics in one reading. Go one chapter at a time. It's a very interesting book (I understood about half of it) that will give your brain quite a workout. Yes, it's worth reading.
