Are You Conscious and Can You Prove It? Short Science Essays

Kendrick Frazier

Are You Conscious and Can You Prove It? Short Science Essays. Sid Deutsch. iUniverse, New York, 2003. 201 pp. $27.95, hardcover. Magnet therapy, free will vs. determinism, the origin of life, the “fantastic” pacemaker system, UFOs, multiple universes, the claim that photons can communicate at faster-than-light velocities, what makes suicide bombers tick. These are among the topics addressed in this collection of twenty-two short science essays by a biomedical engineer, CSICOP scientific consultant, and former associate editor of IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering. Deutsch hopes that “one or more of the ideas” expressed in the book will “resonate, here and there, with the intelligent layperson.”
