This is a link to the eighth article of Ian's popular series entitled 'Alchemy and the Imagination'. The subject matter this time is the relationship between the New Physics and emerging post-postmodern perspectives on creativity. The article was delivered as a talk to the public via Bendigo Goldfields Library's 'Philosophy in the Library' series (Bendigo, Australia. June 4th 2012). Are writers, artists, musicians etc. Quantum travellers capable of sampling parallel words, other dimensions of being or the Implicate Order described by David Bohm?
