It’s a typical situation in any school across our nation. Students make fun of each, mock and taunt, then there’s some pushing and perhaps even a fight. Then, the students are sent to the detention. Many experts are now starting to question this practice, as it does not look as if it resolves anything. Now, […]
Mindfulness Meditation: A Powerful Tool to Alleviate Stress
The fact that we live fast lives and that our environment is dynamic and changing is quite self-evident. One of the negative consequences of such environment is that the levels of stress are elevated and they tend to last a long time. Under these circumstances, it is only logical that people resort to practices […]
The Enigma of Quantum Entanglement: Science’s Spookiest Phenomenon
Introduction to Quantum Entanglement Defining Quantum Entanglement Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon in quantum physics where two or more particles become interconnected in such a way that the state of one particle instantaneously influences the state of the other, regardless of the distance separating them. This connection persists even if the particles are light-years […]
A school replaced detention with meditation. The results are stunning.
Teachers face this situation every day, there is a kid in the class and they act in a way that is disruptive and inappropriate for a classroom setting. We’ve been primed to think that detention of such student is the best course of action, and we accept it as a traditional solution. Now, one school […]
Occult and Psychical Sciences: Physicists probe the paranormal ?
Despite the lack of concrete scientific evidence, those in the academic community still have an affinity to the paranormal or occult. Recently, a member of Cambridge University held an interdisciplinary session of the science community to approach rational thoughts on the paranormal. The meeting contained three basic subjects: pseudo-psychic phenomena, near-death experiences, and psychokinesis. While […]
Decoding the Quantum: Basic Principles and Puzzles
Introduction to Quantum Mechanics What is Quantum Mechanics? Quantum mechanics is a branch of physics that deals with the behavior of matter and energy at the subatomic level. It is the foundation of modern physics, providing the framework for understanding the behavior of all matter, from the smallest particles to the largest galaxies. At […]
The Alchemy of Mindfulness
Coal and diamonds are made of the same internal molecules, but couldn’t be more different on the outside. This serves as a useful metaphor. Mindfulness is about seeing things as they are. It doesn’t try to eliminate our emotional states, it tries to alter how we perceive and react to them. Emotional alchemy can […]
The Evolutionary Argument Against Reality
There is a point where psychology, philosophy and physics of the quantum world all meet. While the connection was dismissed for decades, there is a rising number of scientists that explore the relationship between these disciplines, primarily in order to explain our consciousness. Cognitive scientist, Dr. Hoffman, questions the statement that our senses, without […]
Exploring the Quantum of Yoga: A Journey into Conscious Awareness
Introduction to the Quantum of Yoga Defining Quantum and Yoga The term quantum originates from the Latin word meaning “quantity” and signifies a discrete amount. In classical physics, changes occur in a continuous manner, but in quantum physics, changes can be both continuous and discontinuous. This duality introduces a fascinating complexity to our understanding […]
Can Quantum Physics, Neuroscience Merge as Quantum Consciousness? – Walter Bradley Center for Natural and Artificial Intelligence
On a first glance, neuroscience and physics of quantum space don’t have much in common, but there’s a growing movement in the scientific world that explores the connection. They aim to merge the two in their quest to understand consciousness. The feeling is that the challenge is big because both of these sciences have […]
