Vladimir Skrebnev

Apes, quants and subquantum world or Quo vadis Vladimir Skrebnev

The book contains an overview of works which could be of interest to a free-thinking reader. Some results and claims of these works may at first sight, and often at the second sight, seem paradoxical. The first reaction to these type of results is "it can't be", the second is "there may be something in it", the third is "well, that's common knowledge". The papers covered in this overview have been published in high ranking international journals after robust discussions with peer reviewers. The main ideas of papers are understandable for non-specialists without formulas. Specialists will agree with the formulas, too. However, it felt irresponsible to talk about science and not to talk about the catastrophes it has caused and may cause in the future. We say that science has given humanity the modern civilization with all its benefits. But that obscures the other side of the coin. Therefore, the book also includes a chapter about the nature of humans, about our trajectory, and about the responsibilities of science.
