In Chapter Four, the author discusses the famous experiment in quantum physics called the “Double Slit,” and its startling conclusions…

 “How is it possible to send one tiny particle of 'matter' at a time through two slits and have it form a wave interference pattern? There was only one explanation that made any sense: An electron is a wave rather than a particle; it is not a solid piece of matter as we have always thought!”

 In Chapter Five, the author continues looking at the Double Slit experiment and what happens when you add an “observer” into the equation…

 “The ramifications are enormous. It means reality – the physical universe which we have always thought of to be 'solid and predictable' – is not 'real,' not 'solid and predictable' at all, because the basic building blocks of that universe are not particles of matter, but waves of possibilities – waves of potential locations where an electron might appear as a particle when it is observed.”

 ... and what scientists have called The Field to explain this phenomenon.
