Description
In this novel that explores the intersection of science and spirituality, Theodore Reveil, one of the leading lights in string theory physics, is on his way to present his latest research at a triumphant meeting of his colleagues from around the world when he realizes that he has lost the notes for his presentation. Verging on panic, he is in the middle of ransacking his hotel room for the missing notes when he is stopped in his tracks by a voice—and a vision. Shaken by what he has just experienced, he takes the stage to deliver his speech, note-less. In the midst of his distraction and confusion, he poses the question “What if the Universe, instead of being a giant machine, is really a giant thought?” And then, before his astonished colleagues, Theodore makes an even bolder assertion: “The unsolvable terms in our equations may be road signs pointing to consciousness—to God—as the missing piece of the puzzle.” Antiphony traces the downward spiral of Theodore’s career in the wake of his controversial statements, as well as the remarkable transformation that threatens to lead him to the depths of madness—or the revelation of the Final Theory, the ultimate secret of the universe. Readers interested in the nature of the universe, consciousness, and spirit will find this novel engaging, entertaining, and thought-provoking.
Advance Praise
"With the debate between supporters of evolution and creationism (recently highlighted by Bill Nye and Ken Ham), Antiphony is an intriguing timely tale. As readers observe the protagonist's everyday life, we wonder whether Reveil's revelation means he is losing his mind or finding a spiritual awakening that will ultimately lead him to the asylum or the Universe's Final Unified Field Theory. Fans who prefer something offbeat will appreciate Chris Katsaropoulos' profound character study of a physicist on the brink of discovery, insanity or both."
~Harriet Klausner, Amazon Top Ten Reviewer
"Antiphony is, in many ways, an awe-inspiring novel. It was, I think, written in awe. Awe of science and reason. Awe of intuition and faith. Awe of one and the may, unity and diversity. Writer Chris Katsaropoulos has a way of delving deeply into what seem like small moments-the whole novel takes place in just three or four days-and capturing all their nuances and vibrating tension. Throughout "Antiphony," the protagonist (a physicist researching string theory) experiences dreams and visions that fill pages the way a flash flood fills a ravine-a torrent of words flowing into the space between the margins and pressing onward to the next page and the next.. It makes me wonder how he did it."
~ Al Riske, author of PRECARIOUS STORIES OF LOVE, SEX AND MISUNDERSTANDING and SABRINA'S WINDOW
"This was one of those books that make you question everything you know about science and the Earth. It reminded me of The Matrix. I believe that we do not know the exact ways that the Ice Age happened or the answers to physical science. What if we are not right about pi, or what if Einstein was off by one digit? I really liked this book, and I am giving it a 5/5."
