Dunne (1866-1949) was an accomplished English aeronautical engineer and a designer of Britian's early military aircraft. His \u003ci\u003eAn Experiment with Time, \u003c\/i\u003e first published in 1927, sparked a great deal of scientific interest in--and controversy about--his new model of multidimensional time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA series of strange, troubling precognitive dreams (including a vision of the then future catastrophic eruption of Mt. Pelee on the island of Martininque in 1902) led Dunne to re-evaluate the meaning and significance of dreams. Could dreams be a blend of memories of past and future events? What was most upsetting about his dreams was that they contradicted the accepted model of time as a series of events flowing only one way: into the future. What if time wasn't like that at all?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll of this prompted Dunne to think about time in an entirely new way. To do this, Dunne made, as he put it,an extremely cautious investigation in a rather novel direction. He wanted to outline a provable way of accounting for multiple dimensions and precognition, that is, seeing events before they happen. The result was a challenging scientific theory of the Infinite Regress, in which time, consciousness, and the universe are seen as serial, existing in four dimensions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAstonishingly, Dunne's proposed model of time accounts for many of life's mysteries: the nature and purpose of dreams, how prophecy works, the immortality of the soul, and the existence of the all-seeing general observer, the Witness behind consciousness (what is now commonly called the Higher Self).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere in print again is the book English playwright and novelist J.B. Priestley called one of the most fascinating, most curious, and perhaps the most important books of this age.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49544805351697,"sku":"GOR013720153","price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B0BMKPKFWB.jpg?v=1751161719","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/experiment-with-time-book-j-w-dunne-9798888302361","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
