Quantum Magic
by Dr. Dean S. Hartley III
What if you could control quantum randomness?
Hard science fiction, romance, intrigue, quantum mechanics.
What if quantum events could be controlled mentally? What kinds of things could you do with that control? Could you make money doing it? What would such an ability say about what the mind is?
Ross MacDonald discovers that he can control quantum events. With Leanne Wallace and their friends, he creates useful industrial and domestic applications.
Ross MacDonald and three of his postdoctoral friends were drinking beer in Gatlinburg when he showed them that he could snuff out a candle by thinking at it. The friends accused him of performing magic, but he assured them that it was just quantum mechanics. The beer and discussion were absorbing but when two young women joined them, the question of magic was forgotten.
After the group returned to Knoxville and their teaching at the University of Tennessee, George and Carl arranged to go out with Chrissy and Brandy, the women they had met in Gatlinburg. However, to avoid it being a romantic date when they didn’t really know the women, Ross and Frank were dragged along.
At that point, they ran into the vindictive Sarah Lodge, an organizer of violent demonstrations, which started a chain of unpleasant and dangerous events. However, it also led to Ross meeting Carl’s sister Leanne and her best friend, Peggy.
Dr. Dean S. Hartley III writes science fiction and Christian inspirational books.
