Acknowledgements
Let me start with my gratitude to Angela Lahee, my book editor at Springer Physics, for her competent support, including the constructive and inspiring discussions we had. The book in its current form would not have been realized without her. I am also grateful to the referees and their careful reading of and commenting on my manuscript; they clearly contributed to an improvement of it. I also acknowledge the royalty-free policy of the Journal of Cognition and Neuroethics, that printed an article containing an early version of some of my thoughts: Schade, Christian D. 2015, “Collecting Evidence for the Permanent Coexistence of Parallel Realities: An Interdisciplinary Approach.” Journal of Cognition and Neuroethics 3: 327–362. Although many of my ideas and concepts have been refined (or simply altered) since then, some premises (and some graphs) still draw from this paper. I am especially thankful to Tanja Schade-Strohm. Tanja recently published a German language, spiritual and philosophical book on how to become the best version of yourself (
