The Strange Link between the Human Mind and Quantum Physics
Quantum mechanics is the best theory we have for describing the world at the nuts-and-bolts level of atoms and subatomic particles. Perhaps the most renowned of its mysteries is the fact that the outcome of a quantum experiment can change depending on whether or not we choose to measure some property of the particles involved.
When this "observer effect" was first noticed by the early pioneers of quantum theory, they were deeply troubled. It seemed to undermine the basic assumption behind all science: that there is an objective world out there, irrespective of us. If the way the world behaves depends on how – or if – we look at it, what can "reality" really mean?
The most famous intrusion of the mind into quantum mechanics comes in the "double-slit experiment"
Some of those researchers felt forced to conclude that objectivity was an illusion, and that
consciousness has to be allowed an active role in quantum theory. To others, that did not make sense. Surely,
Albert Einstein once complained, the Moon does not exist only when we look at it!
The strange link between the human mind and quantum physics
Hello Chevy,
I do not think you realize the Awesome ramifications of scientific proof showing that man's consciousness, and the universe, are tied together. The universe is not matter, energy and empty space coming into existence 13.8 billion years ago; Rather the universe more resembles an illusion of what ever God wants us visualize as reality, at any given time.
An obvious ramification is that Creation could have come into existence, thousands of years ago, when Adam first opened his eyes.
The big break through, is in the understanding of miracles from God. When an electron is in wave form, (when man is not looking at it), it is not in any one given form or given place. In wave form, subatomic particles are in a state of all possibilities. It is only at the moment that man sees subatomic particles, that a specific reality is chosen. Each, of all possibilities, comes with its own past. Thus we can switch from a past without animals, to a past with animals, even after Adam was already walking the earth.
So basically, what we see as reality, is only what God wants us to see as reality. Was it water, or was it wine, in those jars at the Wedding of Cana? In the Miracle of the Dancing Sun, God can give 60,000 observers a dancing sun, while the rest of the world observers, see the sun in its usual position.
Can you see how the scientifically proven way in which subatomic particles act, opens the a window for the world to understand how God works miracles?
