Werner Heisenberg developed the uncertainty principle which tells us that we (the observer) can never exactly know both the position and momentum of a particle. As every observation requires an energy exchange (photon) to create the observed 'data', some energy (wave) state of the observed object has to be altered. Thus the observation has a discrete effect on what we measure, limiting how precisely we can determine both the position and momentum of the particle.

 

Max Born (1928) was the first to discover (by chance and with no theoretical foundation) that the square of the quantum wave equations (which is actually the wave-density) could be used to predict the probability of where the particle would be found. Since it was impossible for both the waves and the particles to be real entities, it became customary to regard the waves as unreal 'probability waves' and to maintain the belief in the 'real' particle.

 

Unfortunately this maintained the belief in the particle/wave duality, in a new form where the 'quantum' scalar waves had become 'probability waves' for the 'real' particle. Albert Einstein agreed with this probability wave interpretation, as he believed in continuous force fields (not in waves or particles) thus to him it was sensible that the waves were not real, and were mere descriptions of probabilities.

 

It seems to be clear, therefore, that Born's statistical interpretation of quantum physics is the only possible one. The wave function does not in any way describe a state which could be that of a single system; it relates rather to many systems, to an 'ensemble of systems' in the sense of statistical mechanics. (Albert Einstein, On Quantum Physics, 1954)

 

Albert Einstein was correct to realise that matter is not a discrete 'particle' but is spherically spatially extended. His error was to represent matter as a continuous spherical force field rather than a Spherical Standing Wave (a subtle but profound difference). Thus it is true that matter is intimately interconnected to all the other matter in the universe (by the spherical In and Out-waves). It is this lack of knowledge of the system as a whole that is the ultimate cause of the uncertainty and resultant probability inherent in Quantum Physics.

Bart dudster, this kind of talk is relegated only to world-class

Brain Strainers.

 

Master ARJ is learning to do his first "cuts & Pastes" --see how cute he is.

 

Aww, what a nice little boy he is --look he's talking his first jnana stages.

 

Atta boy! That's it, you can do it, tell 'em, talk some Jnana!

 

Now say 'Da-da' --oh wait wait he's saying something . . . listen . . . there he goes . . .

[ARJ]

 

this should do it

[bhaktajan]

First Rate, Ole Boy.

 

Absolutely Top Notch.

 

In the foot steps of the Mahajans.

 

By Jove, your a better man than I am, Ole Ganga-din.

Agreed.

"God is Not Dead"

(How Quantum Physics prove the existance of God)

by Amit Goswami Phd ?

 

A leading quantum physicist compares spiritual traditions -- including yoga and the Tibetan Book of the Dead -- the very latest scientific observations, and individual experiences to find out what death really means.

 

God Is Not Dead is a fascinating guided tour of quantum physics, consciousness, and the existence and experience of God. University of Oregon physics professor Amit Goswami shows readers that God's existence can be found in clues that the science of quantum physics reveals. Goswami helps readers to break through their materialistic conditioning, viewing reality as defined by Newtonian physics, to become free through a quantum understanding and experience of consciousness and God. In fact, God Is Not Dead argues for a quantum activism, leading a balanced life that incorporates both the quantum and material worlds and an experience of consciousness. God Is Not Dead will change how readers think and experience the nature of reality, the existence of souls, the power of dreams, the universality of love, the possibility of ESP, and the very mind of God.

 

 

Quotations by Amit Goswami

 

• "Consciousness is the ground of all being."

 

 

On life changing impulses

• "Then I had a dream that felt like an admonition to me. I heard it so clearly: '
  The Tibetan Book of the Dead
  is correct. It's your job to prove it!' […] One of those [big dreams] can change your life."

 

 

On science

• "Old
  paradigmers
  […] will take a long time to change."
  
  
• "We have to introduce consciousness into science, but to do this consciousness must have some structure to manifest itself. That structure requires mind, vital energies, supra-mentality,
  soul
  in other words."<SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-5>
  [6]

On mystics and scientists

• "
  Mystics
  , contrary to religionists, are always saying that reality is not two things -God and the world- but one thing, consciousness. […] The problem with science has always been that most scientists believe that science must be done within a different monistic framework, one based on the primacy of matter. […] quantum physics showed us that we must change that myopic prejudice of scientists, otherwise we cannot comprehend quantum physics. So now we have science within consciousness, a new paradigm of science based on the primacy of consciousness that is gradually replacing the old materialist science. […] the new paradigm resolves many […] paradoxes of the old paradigm and explains much anomalous data."<SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-6>

Amit Goswami is also One of the rare scientists that appear in the film "What the Bleep do we Know", and one of the few who do not leave out consciousness in explaining quantum physics. Professor of physics at the Institute of Theoretical Sciences at the University of Oregon and author of numerous scientific papers and several books.

A teacher of physics for 32 years, he thought to ask a different question: "What agency converts possibility into actuality?" His pondering and research over the next few years brought the new way of doing science and many answers. Consciousness, not matter, is the ground of all existence...the universe is self-aware and that consciousness creates the physical world. Dr. Goswami calls the new paradigm "monistic idealism," with it the paradoxes of quantum physics are explainable, as is choice, free will, the unconscious, healing and creativity, and spiritual growth.
