An experiment involving shooting small marbles through two narrow holes onto a cloth reveals fundamental principles of quantum mechanics. When one marble at a time is sent through, an unexpected striped pattern emerges, rather than two distinct marks behind the holes. This pattern is indicative of wave behavior, where waves passing through both holes interfere […]
Quantum Mechanics and Consciousness | Bernard Haisch
Dr. Bernard Haisch, drawing from his book on the Gothic, explores the idea that our universe is finely tuned for life, citing various astrophysical properties that appear remarkably calibrated. These include the ratio of gravitational to Coulomb force, the strength of the nuclear force, a specific carbon resonance, water’s expansion upon freezing, the neutron’s mass […]
‘A Universe From Nothing’ by Lawrence Krauss, AAI 2009
During a lecture sponsored by RDF, physicist Lawrence Krauss discussed the challenging and tricky questions he encounters, particularly from atheists, which he finds most difficult to handle. He highlighted the work of a fellow physicist who has made significant contributions to the public understanding of science and has taken up multiple directorial roles at Arizona […]
Origins Project: “Did God Have any Choice in the Creation of the Universe?” Einstein
The Origins Project at ASU, directed by Lawrence Krauss, aims to tackle profound questions about the universe by bringing together leading scientists and intellectuals. The project’s fifth anniversary event delves into the ultimate origin: the beginning of the universe itself. The panel discusses whether science might soon reach the limits of what we can understand […]
Cosmic Origins from Astrophysics
Introduction to Cosmic Origins The philosophical dilemma of creation from nothing The quest to understand the origins of the universe inevitably leads us to a profound philosophical conundrum: how did everything come into existence from nothing? This question has perplexed thinkers and scholars for centuries, intertwining cosmology with philosophy and theology. The concept of creatio […]
Quantum Enigmatists
Introduction to Quantum Perspectives Overview of Quantum Enigmatists vs. Quantum Materialists The realm of quantum mechanics, a cornerstone of modern physics, is as much a battleground of ideas as it is a field of scientific inquiry. Two camps, often at odds, emerge from the quantum fog: the Quantum Enigmatists and the Quantum Materialists. Quantum Enigmatists […]
Introduction to Consciousness and Quantum Mechanics
Introduction to Consciousness and Quantum Mechanics Overview of the Transcendental Meditation technique The Transcendental Meditation (TM) technique is a form of silent mantra meditation developed by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. It is practiced for 20 minutes twice per day while sitting comfortably with the eyes closed. The technique is said to allow the individual’s mind to […]
Mind Brain Behavior Symposium: Christopher Walsh
Introduction to Human Brain Evolution Overview of Human Brain Evolution The human brain is a marvel of evolution, a complex organ that has undergone significant changes over millions of years. From the early hominids with brains one-third the size of modern humans to the sophisticated organ that defines Homo sapiens today, the journey of brain […]
How The Universe Was Created According To Hinduism?
Introduction to Hindu Cosmology The Concept of a Multiverse in Hinduism In Hindu cosmology, the notion of a multiverse is not only acknowledged but intricately detailed. The ancient texts describe an infinite number of universes, each undergoing cycles of creation, preservation, and dissolution. These universes, known as Brahmandas, are said to exist like bubbles in […]
The Quantum Conspiracy: What Popularizers of QM Don’t Want You to Know
Introduction to Quantum Mechanics and the Perception of Reality Setting the Stage for Quantum Mechanics Quantum Mechanics (QM) emerged in the early 20th century as a revolutionary framework for understanding the microscopic world. It was a response to experimental observations that could not be explained by classical physics, such as the discrete energy levels of […]
