• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

When are the fields of neuroscience and quantum physics going to discover enough milestones to where "mind over matter" becomes literally possible?, and humans discover that they have unlocked god-like abilities connected to their thoughts?

Methinks someone's seen too many episodes of My Favorite Martian.

That's already been shown with the double slit experiment.
If you look for "particles" the evidence for light waves
collapses from reality and only evidence for "particles"
exists. If you look for light "waves", reality and evidence
for "particles" collapses and you only find wave evidence.

Your intentions change reality.

When they go out in the real world. As long as they sit at the drawing board and expect others to do the real work then they will not understand what it is to get the job done in the real world. There are parameters, there are limits. Still there is a range within the parameters we are given.

A friend of mine told me a story once of an engineer that was making his life very difficult. They were working on a machine that was cutting a 25 foot wide tunnel to divert water on the river for industrial use. He complained and they sent that engineer down in the hole to work as a common labor for two weeks. They did not have any trouble with him after that.

That use to be my job. I had to take the project drawing and draft up the shop drawing that they used to actually cut the parts and build the project. So I had to come up with math that would actually work in the real world. So if they could not build it from my drawings then I had to go into the shop and build it myself. Although usually I just made the jigs and the templates.

In the sense it sounds like you're talking about -- never.

There is no term for your intentions in quantum mechanics. The results of the double slit experiment will be the same even if you rig the experiment to interpose a detector randomly, with no conscious action on your part.

I don't see the problem. I can make millions of bacteria and atoms and molecules move simply by a decision. I think it and then make it happen. Mind over matter...

Myeah, that doesn't work...
When you make a decision, what really happens is a physical process of neurons firing in your brain. It's not like something "immaterial" is making "material" stuff happen.

"Thinking" is a physical process by itself.

There are even studies that show that the "physical decision" happens even BEFORE you are aware of it.
