Overview

The author wrote this book to accomplish three major objectives: 1) For the appreciation of science, the philosophy of science and its beauty and wonder; 2) to explore the quantum paradigm and other important developments in science that are leading the way to important progress in key areas of research; and most importantly, 3) to appreciate how medical technologies are important medical tools that can improve the human condition. With regard to the first objective, as Carl Sagan implied, science provides us with a better understanding of who we are, our humanity, and even our role in the Universe. Science is a doorway to deeper knowledge about both ourselves and the world we live in. The author thinks that there is nothing more important we as a species can do in this life than to appreciate the beauty and order of our Universe! The quantum paradigm along with the relativity theory are currently some of our most advanced theories. The author has applied these theories in important ways to medical technologies. Specifically, he explains PET and MRI imaging according to the quantum paradigm, and MEG according to special relativity theory. It was the authors intent to use the most advanced theories known to provide the best explanation for the operation of these technologies. Consistent with this objective, he made an effort to approach current theoretical limits by discussing quantum field theory and its important applications in PET and MRI imaging technologies. Most importantly, the author talks about how early disease detection is an effective method that can be applied to many diseases including cancer, heart disease, and many neurological diseases. He argues very simply that early disease detection improves treatment outcomes, and that, if we apply this early detection methodology nationally or even globally, then this could improve the standards of medical care for many millions of people both in American and worldwide! In addition, the author also has a chapter on ethics, law and policy. It was his goal to emphasise that we have good policies that will be beneficial both here in American as well as internationally. These policies will be beneficial to the Trump Administration and any administration that follows. Most importantly, by applying Kants universal principles, we can make the world a better place!
