In Philosophy of Quantum Physics: Making Sense of What Doesn’t Make Sense, Boris Kriger invites the listener on a journey across the frontiers of knowledge — where physics meets metaphysics, and reality itself begins to question its own coherence. From the birth of matter to the architecture of uncertainty, from entanglement to the nature of consciousness, this book explores how our deepest theories of the universe reshape the idea of what it means to be.

This book takes the listener on an extraordinary journey through the invisible architecture of reality — from the quiet pull that keeps our feet on the ground to the roaring gravity wells of black holes and the earliest tremors of spacetime itself.

Because such metaphors structure our most basic understandings of our experience, they are "metaphors we live by"—metaphors that can shape our perceptions and actions without our ever noticing them.

This book is a journey into the remarkable world of bees, exploring their hidden importance and why our future is so closely tied to theirs.
