Kenneth K C ChanKenneth K. C. Chan holds university degrees in both medicine and physics. He is a follower of Tibetan Buddhism and a student of Western Mysticism, with a deep interest in the interactions between the spiritual traditions and the arts and sciences.Hisscientific paper, "Time and Space," explains for the first time why the speed of light is constant, to which our human consciousness plays a critical role-a conclusion made possible due to Kenneth's background in both physics and human physiology. He clarifies this for a general audience with his article, "Why Relativity Exists," explaining how our perceptual limitations bring about the theory of relativity.Against this backdrop, Kenneth published the first edition of "Quintessence of Dust: The Mystical Meaning of Hamlet," nominated for the Book of the Year award by Foreword Magazine, in 2004. It explains how, in Shakespeare's Hamlet, the mundane world of our senses and the wider spiritual world, just a shade beyond, are intertwined-as evident in Hamlet's delay in taking revenge.In connecting spiritual philosophies across the fields of physics and literature, Kenneth has published further essays, explaining how the Buddhist Madhyamika philosophy solves the mystery of quantum physics, and how the spiritual path irrevocably shows why revenge can never be compatible with our spiritual development.Today, Kenneth continues his studies and writings, passionately seeking to realize the spiritual truths beyond the physical. For, as Hamlet says, "there are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy." Kenneth lives in the metropolitan city of Singapore and is a proud father of two.
