Quantum physics | Bulldozer00's Blog. I’m in the process of reading a third book on quantum physics. It’s called “The Self-Aware Universe”, and it is written by physicist Amit Gotswami. According to Q-physics, no localized object exists until a conscious observation is made. The universe is comprised of non-localized, infinitely distributed “waves” described by Schrodinger’s wave function equation. The wave function equation characterizes the “waviness” of matter and it displaces Newton’s F=ma as the universal law of motion.
When a subjective and conscious observation is made and discrete objects are “detected” at a point in space and time, the instantaneous collapse of the wave function occurs. Suppose that you and I separately “collapse the wave function” and (miraculously?) Now assume that the group of objects that we’ve manifested (created ?) Now, apply this example to a work environment. Like this: Like Loading... Drop of Dhamma Delight! What is Consciousness? The Blessed Buddha has explained consciousness as: A: Definitions: What, now, is consciousness? There are six kinds of consciousness (viññāna-khandha): 1: Consciousness of form is visual consciousness,2: Consciousness of sound is auditory consciousness,3: Consciousness of smell is olfactory consciousness,4: Consciousness of taste is gustatory consciousness,5: Consciousness of touch is tactile consciousness,6: Consciousness of thought is mental consciousness.
SN: 22:56 Consciousness is a Wave with person specific frequencies just like radio-waves. B: Causation by Dependent Origination: The arising of consciousness is dependent upon specific conditions... Without presence of these conditions, no consciousness will ever emerge...Consciousness is named after the conditions upon which it is dependent!
Consciousness, whose arising depends on the encounter of eye & forms, is called visual consciousness. Quantum Lifetime | Exploring quantum physics plus consciousness, meditation, the afterlife and ancient mystical teachings from the perspective of modern science. The three great mysteries of reality! Conscious awareness of the physical world and Platonic Mathematics. This video highlights the three great mysteries of reality! Consciousness, the physical world and Platonic Mathematics. This simple diagram highlights the difficulty we have with understanding the nature of reality. We have three worlds each one a mystery and each one mysteriously connected to the other. We have the world of Conscious awareness that can comprehend the fundamental truths of mathematics.
Then out of this physical structure comes conscious awareness, each of the three parts seems to be dependent on the other. The video above is putting forward the idea that they are dependent on each other because they are connected by one universal process. EnlightenedNext. Quantum Consciousness | Voiceprint Analysis. Do have a look at the article “Finding Spirit in the Fabric of Space & Time”. It presents very interesting ideas regarding the exploration of Quantum Consciousness (with Stuart Hameroff, MD). You can be found here: The article was written by Tom Huston with Joel Pitney. Quantum Mechanics and Consciousness. Ian J. Thompson Physics Department, University of Surrey, Guildford GU2 5XH, U.K October, 1990.
We may suspect that quantum mechanics and consciousness are related, but the details are not at all clear. In this paper, I suggest how the mind and brain might fit together intimately while still maintaining distinct identities. The connection is based on the correspondence of similar functions in both the mind and the quantum-mechanical brain. Accompanying material for a talk at The Second Mind and Brain Symposiumheld at the Institute of Psychiatry, Denmark Hill, London on 20th October, 1990. The Mind-Brain Problem The problem of the relation between mind and body is well known as a difficult `world knot'. Earlier in the interpretation of quantum mechanics, it appeared that the problem of measurement could only be solved by introducing some basic notion of an observer, presumably a conscious observer.

Could Quantum Brain Effects Explain Consciousness? | Quantum Consciousness. Updated on Monday, July 1, at 9:25 a.m. ET. NEW YORK — The idea that consciousness arises from quantum mechanical phenomena in the brain is intriguing, yet lacks evidence, scientists say. Physicist Roger Penrose, of the University of Oxford, and anesthesiologist Stuart Hameroff, of the University of Arizona, propose that the brain acts as a quantum computer — a computational machine that makes use of quantum mechanical phenomena (like the ability of particles to be in two places at once) to perform complex calculations.
In the brain, fibers inside neurons could form the basic units of quantum computation, Penrose and Hameroff explained at the Global Future 2045 International Congress, a futuristic conference held here June 15-16. The idea is appealing, because neuroscience, so far, has no satisfactory explanation for consciousness — the state of being self-aware and having sensory experiences and thoughts.

Rebel Brown: Your Quantum Mind in Action. You go to the movie with friends. After the show you're all discussing a particular scene. That's when you notice it's as if you all watched a totally different sequence. One person saw details you didn't even notice, another disliked it as much as you loved it. That's the power of quantum at work in our human minds. What's a Quantum? There are many theories around quantum. Specifically, quantum mechanics states that we each have a multitude of optional realities within our experiential data stream. Then What is Reality? Quantum biologists report that we each take in over 11,000,000 bits/second of information from our senses. Now think about all the other potential realities in the 10,999,874 bits/second of data we choose not to use. Our minds are quantum computers in action. Change Your Mind, Change Your Reality Have you ever noticed that when you wake up grumpy, negative things tend to fill your day?
What if by changing our mindware programs we can and will change our reality? QUANTUM-MIND. Human consciousness is simply a state of matter, like a solid or liquid – but quantum. Thanks to the work of a small group neuroscientists and theoretical physicists over the last few years, we may finally have found a way of analyzing the mysterious, metaphysical realm of consciousness in a scientific manner. The latest breakthrough in this new field, published by Max Tegmark of MIT, postulates that consciousness is actually a state of matter. “Just as there are many types of liquids, there are many types of consciousness,” he says. With this new model, Tegmark says that consciousness can be described in terms of quantum mechanics and information theory, allowing us to scientifically tackle murky topics such as self awareness, and why we perceive the world in classical three-dimensional terms, rather than the infinite number of objective realities offered up by the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics.
Consciousness has always been a tricky topic to broach scientifically. A stunning image of the neurons in a human hippocampus. Consciousconnection.

Those who believe it can (e.g. proponents of physicalism, reductionism, materialism, functionalism, computationalism) see conscious experience as an emergent property of complex computation in networks of brain neurons. Others believe consciousness cannot be accommodated within present day or future science. Figure 1. David Bohm (e.g. Quantum mind. The quantum mind or quantum consciousness hypothesis proposes that classical mechanics cannot explain consciousness, while quantum mechanical phenomena, such as quantum entanglement and superposition, may play an important part in the brain's function, and could form the basis of an explanation of consciousness.
It is not one theory, but a collection of distinct ideas described below. A few theoretical physicists have argued that classical physics is intrinsically incapable of explaining the holistic aspects of consciousness, whereas quantum mechanics can. The idea that quantum theory has something to do with the workings of the mind go back to Eugene Wigner, who assumed that the wave function collapses due to its interaction with consciousness. The philosopher David Chalmers has argued against quantum consciousness.
