Schrödinger’s Cat? Schrodinger’s cat is one of the most important studies in the history of science. It is one of the cornerstones of the study of Quantum Mechanics. It is one of the hardest thing for people unfamiliar with science to understand when they are first presented with the problem, since it runs so counter […]

These Far-Out Theories About Human Consciousness Will Completely Blow Your Mind
Theories About Human Consciousness There are many crazy theories about how humans perceive consciousness. One of the great things about the subject of human consciousness is that since so much of it is misunderstood, or not understood at all, people are able to make up all sorts of crazy theories about what it means […]
My Bunk-Bashing Diatribe at a Deepak Chopra Conference
The author of the book “The End of Science,” John Horgan, explains how there may be no more large breakthroughs in scientific study. He talks about individual fields of science, like physics, neuroscience, and technology, and specific theories within these fields, like string theory, and the concept of multiple, parallel universes. He notes that today […]
Does Consciousness Create the Universe?
Does Consciousness Create the Universe? Quantum Mechanics is a field of study that is changing the very nature of our relationships with the world around us. Many things studied using Quantum Mechanics produce different outcomes than what would be expected using our traditional scientific understandings. It’s almost as if we are playing by a […]
Consciousness, Reality, and The Simulation Hypothesis
“The Simulation Hypothesis,” a film by Kent Forbes, investigates the concept of reality-as-a-simulation. The film argues that, when considering recent findings in modern physics, the universe is best understood as a sort of simulation. Refreshingly, it does not portray the “simulation” of reality as some sort of alien video game, but blends the reality-as-a-sim […]
There Is No Time. There Never Was And There Never Will Be
The Illusion of Time People have struggles with how to define time for as long as we have been alive. Time can be both really short and very long. It can be so hard to think about time both in the sense of what is going on currently and what has been going on […]
10 Mind-Bending Implications of the Many Worlds Theory – Listverse
Quantum mechanics constantly makes us reassess how we view the world and our life. Things that may seem obvious or simple, are in reality, much more complex. There are a number of theories about these differences, but one of the most exciting is something called “wave function.” The idea is that all the possible outcome […]
The Mind–Body Problem, Scientific Regress and “Woo”
The Mind-Body problem has been around for centuries. Many philosophers have tried to solve what it means to have a difference in your mind and body. Even going back the days of ancient Greece, people have tried to explore the differences between your mind and your body. Recently there have been new studies and efforts […]
Artificial Intelligence and Consciousness | Answers With Joe
Consciousness has always been an area for debate among scientists. Is it something in our mind or just a construct of things around us. Many scientists have said that we can give robots consciousness through artificial intelligence. Great strives have been made on this from with robots. Recent breakthroughs in self awareness have been […]
“Quantum Mechanics I” by Dr. R Shankar
19. Quantum Mechanics I: The key experiments and wave-particle duality is taught by Dr. Shankar of Yale University. Dr. Shankar does an excellent job at teaching Quantum Mechanics even if it seems to be a very difficult subject to get. As a teacher of Quantum Mechanics Dr. Shankar’s only hope is to get his students to realize that they too don’t get it.
Follow along to get an “official” course instruction on this most difficult subject to get. Just maybe you’ll get enough to get why physicist say they don’t get it yet get enough to understand why we just may get it.
