The second edition was published in 2024.In 2016, he wrote an online article, Why Relativity Exists, which presents the key findings of his paper, Time and Space, to a general audience. It emphasizes that consciousness is a critical component of our reality. In the same year, he also wrote another online paper entitled A Direct Experiential Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics, which shows how the Buddhist Madhyamika philosophy solves the mystery of quantum physics.In 2021, he published an online article entitled The Spiritual Path, which shows the remarkable synchronicity between Madhyamika philosophy, the Noble Eightfold Path, the Kabbalah Tree of Life, and the Tarot. This synchronicity reveals that the different spiritual traditions draw their inspiration from the same source, and together provides us with a map depicting the stages of the spiritual quest on the path to enlightenment.The above online articles can be viewed at the author's website at kenneth-chan.com.
