A Shadow's Desire
Afflicted with a painful, supernatural parasite since childhood, Kyle had long since resigned himself to a life of isolation. Never did he predict that his sombre existence would so quickly ignite into a blazing flame of desire. Upon meeting Molly for the first time, Kyle is forced to confront a vulnerability he’s never felt before. Somehow, through a remarkable capability of her own, she is able to slowly bring her light into his world. Although powerful beyond comprehension, Kyle soon learns that it’s this beautiful young woman that has the most precious ability of all. Sensing the danger he poses, Kyle becomes conflicted, struggling with his incongruous nature. The more time Kyle spends with her, the more his shadow slowly dominates, successfully slipping through his restraint. As both his fear and love grow, spiralling into one another, many questions remain. Will this uncertain danger finally corrupt Kyle into the monster he dreads becoming? Can they have what they desire? Can they have each other? Although light and shadow appear polar opposites, for one to thrive, so must the other.

The Two Layers of Physics
According to the standard interpretation of quantum mechanics, the wave function is a pure mathematical entity with no other reality, than that its size renders the probability of observing a particle at a given position in space. The author, on the other hand, believes, that the wave field is very real and that it directs the particles into the observed positions by exerting forces upon them. More importantly, he claims that he has found experimental proof of this. These experiments are described in detail in the book and may easily be repeated by anyone interested. Apart from proving the main point, the experiments yield some astounding results which, among other things, suggest that here are signals that move faster than light in contradiction with Einstein’s theory.
It is well-known that a similar situation arises in connection with the phenomenon of entanglement. This leads the author to a closer examination of the basics of the two theories of relativity. As he tries to make quantum mechanics more easily comprehensible, so with relativity. He reintroduces the concepts of absolute time and absolute mass, and on this basis makes surprising new derivations of Einstein’s famous energy equation, the dependence of mass with velocity and of the formula for the time dilation.
A final question. Can consciousness play any role in physical theory? The author answers affirmatively, and in fact he makes diligent use of the concept in his models. Hence the title of the book.
