One of the best-kept secrets of science is that physicists have lost their grip on reality”- Frank Herbert, Author, “Quantum Reality”
Almost one hundred years ago, the project to reduce the world to quantity- to the particles and forces of classical physics- failed suddenly and completely, with the advent of quantum mechanics.
The world, we are now told, emerges spontaneously, out of “nothing,” and constitutes a “multiverse,” where “anything that can happen, will, and it will happen an infinite number of times.”
Legendary reclusive genius Wolfgang Smith demonstrates on shockingly obvious grounds the dead-end at which physics has arrived, and how we can “return, at last, to the real world.”
“The End of Quantum Reality” introduces this extraordinary man to a contemporary audience which has, perhaps, never encountered a true philos-sophia, one as intimately at ease with the rigors of quantum physics as with the greatest schools of human wisdom.
From the creative team behind the ultra- controversial cosmology documentary “The Principle” (2014), “The End of Quantum Reality” is a story of science, of faith, and of love that will turn your world right-side up. Presented by the Philos-Sophia Initiative, the film is produced/written by Richard DeLano for Philos-Sophia and Directed/Co-Produced by Katheryne KTEE Thomas for In Ohm Entertainment.
The US theatrical engagement starts Jan 11th at the Carnegie Science Center in Pittsburgh, PA, with additional subsequent screenings in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Pittsburgh, Boston, Cleveland, Detroit, San Diego, Orange County (CA), Topeka and more adding daily.

Quotes about Wolfgang Smith:
- “Wolfgang Smith broaches a vast range of subjects with a mastery that bespeaks an immense culture… It would be hard to exaggerate the importance of [his] work.” — Jean Borella, Professor of Philosophy, University of Nancy, France
- “Here is that rare person who is equally at home with Eckhart and Einstein, Heraclitus and Heisenberg!” — Harry Oldmeadow, Professor of Philosophy, La Trobe University, Australia
- “Wolfgang Smith is as important a thinker as our times boast.” — Huston Smith, Professor of Philosophy, M.I.T., and author of The World’s Religions
About Wolfgang Smith
Wolfgang Smith graduated from Cornell University at the age of eighteen with majors in physics, philosophy, and mathematics. He received his master's degree in theoretical physics from Purdue University and was subsequently employed at Bell Aircraft Corporation as an aerodynamicist. His pioneering work on the effect of diffusion fields, published during that period, presented a theoretical solution to the re-entry problem for space flight. After taking his Ph.D. in mathematics from Columbia University, Smith held faculty positions at M.I.T., U.C.L.A., and Oregon State University. He is well known in traditionalist circles through his books, which include Cosmos and Transcendence, The Wisdom of Ancient Cosmology, and The Quantum Enigma: Finding the Hidden Key. As a scientist attracted since his youth to the great metaphysical schools, his thought represents a unique encounter between contemporary science and traditional philosophy.

Sonic Branding For Social Media: Engage, Align, Connect
By Chad Cook -- With more than five billion people accessing social media daily, savvy brands understand the importance of cultivating a strong social identity. They devote massive resources toward brand awareness, audience targeting, content strategy and community engagement. Yet, while they know that social platforms are critical to boosting sales and attracting new customers, many neglect one of the most effective tools for connecting with consumers: sonic branding. Marketers often associate sonic branding with catchy mnemonics used by big brands like McDonald’s, Netflix and Intel in their advertising. But that is a very limited view of what sonic branding is and what it can do. Sonic branding is a way to build awareness and stimulate engagement across all touch points, from advertising to broadcast digital, in-person and social. And it’s not limited to members of the Fortune 500. Brands at all levels can benefit from a sonic identity that is memorable, engaging and reflective of its core values. Sound has been scientifically proven to be deeply tied to memory and emotion. There’s a reason that certain songs stick in your head and bring back memories formed years or even decades earlier. So, it’s surprising that sonic branding is often an afterthought in marketing plans. That is especially true in social media marketing. Faced with tight deadlines and strained budgets, creative teams are often tempted to select music for their content simply because it “fits.” Unfortunately, that may result in content that is in tune with what’s trending but is out of tune with brand identity. Effective sonic branding, by contrast, requires thoughtful strategic planning,... Read More
