New Theory of Time, Free-Will, and the Relation Between Relativity and Quantum Mechanics by Rose & O'Hanlon Just Published by Ithys Press of Dublin.

DUBLIN, IRELAND, December 22, 2011

In the new book entitled 'Love & Curiosity--The Cosmos', Danis Rose and John O'Hanlon put forward the theory of 'Reason-and-Consequence' in opposition to the current scientific theory of 'Cause-and-Effect' as the underlying mechanism of the Universe.

Rose & O'Hanlon tackle the 'Big Problems' of Science and Philosophy to get to the heart of the Science/Religion conflict; a conflict which has always been a battle between two kinds of explanations of the Universe, often couched as a conflict about facts.

Science claims that morally neutral Laws of Nature explain the Universe. Religion claims that Divine Intelligence governs the Universe. Thinkers on both sides (eg., Albert Einstein, Richard Dawkins, Cardinal Schonborn) agree that these explanations are mutually incompatible.

In contrast, Rose (textual scholar) and O'Hanlon (physicist) present a concise argument that a single principle of 'Reason-and-Consequence' explains the Universe and everything in it -- including the Laws of Nature, Reason and Logic, living creatures, physical objects, language, ideas and thoughts, and even Space and Time -- as the product of value-driven choices made by conscious agents.

The book is a limited first edition of 1000 copies (26 Lettered/EUR200; 50 Numbered/EUR100; 900 Standard/EUR40) printed by Martino Mardersteig of Verona and published in 2011 by Ithys Press of Dublin, a fine-press publisher of literature and philosophy. The book anticipates Dublin's designation as European City of Science 2012.
