Description

Einstein did not attempt to explain the constancy of the velocity of light: he assumed it and derived his theories accordingly. But we have explained it.' -- from Chapter 8 of Space and Counterspace

Many people feel alienated by modern science and its impersonal view of our world, based on the concept of the 'detached observer'. Our human intuitions suggest that we need a broader-based science which can encompass phenomena currently excluded, such as human consciousness, qualities and values.

In this groundbreaking book, Nick Thomas presents a wider view of science using the theory of 'counterspace'. Counterspace exists alongside space as we know it, and was first proposed by Rudolf Steiner, and developed by the Cambridge mathematician George Adams. Through its startling lens, key aspects of our world -- such as gravity, time, light and colour, as well as the stars, the solar system, and the classical elements -- can be viewed and understood in dynamically new ways.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is counterspace in Nick Thomas’s book?

Counterspace is presented as a complementary realm alongside familiar space, giving Thomas a framework for approaching gravity, time, light, and other natural phenomena in dynamic new ways.

Where does the book’s counterspace approach come from?

The approach builds on an idea first proposed by Rudolf Steiner and developed mathematically by George Adams, which Nick Thomas extends through projective geometry and natural science.

Which phenomena does Space and Counterspace examine?

It examines gravity, time, light, color, the stars, the solar system, and the classical elements, while also considering consciousness, qualities, and values within a wider science.

Who will find Space and Counterspace especially useful?

The book is especially useful for readers interested in projective geometry, anthroposophy, natural philosophy, and scientific approaches that include qualitative as well as quantitative understanding.
