Question by Mars: Contradiction between quantum and relativistic physics?
I hear how Quantum physics and relativistic physics contradict to each other. Can someone please describe this in a “general audience” form (with a timeline or order of what led to what)?

Best answer:

Answer by oldprof
Eh, not so much contradict, but one technique cannot be used to solve problems usually solved by the other technique. That is, we can’t use general theory of relativity math on quanta sized systems and we can’t use quantum mechanics math on big stuff like galaxies and such.

And that’s where the physicists go bananas. They claim that if they are both correct, they should be able to use them both on the big stuff and the small stuff. It should be, after all, the same physics, large or small. But they can’t. Using QM math on gravity of galaxies results in silly answers and using relativity math of quanta results in silly answers.

Relativity came first but only a short time before QM. Relativity and QM are not related. In fact, Einstein thought QM was hokum. “God doesn’t roll dice” he is said to have said of probabilistic QM

Thanks you!

Answer by debydete
My vote is for “The Quantum Physicists” by William H. Cropper. First published many yrs. ago but I believe is still in print.
Although it does go into some of the mathmatical theory, the best part of this book is the author’s description of the development of the theory and the many debates between Bohr and Born and Pauli and Schrodinger and Heisenburg and Einstein and others about what it all meant. The most entertaining book on quantum I’ve ever read.

Mixing a New Curry – 3 Steps to an Economic Quantum Leap For India

Mixing a New Curry – 3 Steps to an Economic Quantum Leap For India

One of my predictions is that the new middle class of the world in a generation or two ahead will be in India while the current middle classes of the traditional western world will diminish. Create or disintegrate. This will naturally represent a major shift in the world economies. The western world does not perceive this as threat and is fairly relaxed about its coming for some currently obvious reasons.

There is never an either or – there is abundance – but it is hard the get the “majority” to understand that. In short this means that the rise of India does not have to be at the cost of a western decline, as traditionally has been the case or perception, it is actually an important point this does not happen. But the keyword for both parties is change. Successful change.

There are three elements for successful change.

Market
The world has seen a revolutionary change in communication over the last 15 years.

IT, the Internet, and telecom have all changed the world and world market dramatically for the better. (To the extent it has changed it for the worse that is the responsibility of the individual.) These days you can live anywhere and have clients all over the world. Physical presence is not a necessity anymore. As a supplier it is easier to reach a critical mass often needed to succeed. The cost to reach the market is I many instances lower than it used to be and it opens up for successful niches.

Technology has changed the market place, and most importantly changed both the perception of what a small business can achieve and what it actually represents. It is not synonymous with the small business serving the local community any more.

Further enabled small business to enter a much bigger market place without being constantly beaten by big corporations that actually struggle with the new market situation and as such are dependent upon small and specialized vendors to survive.

Skills

India has a tradition for high education, trading skills and being industrious people, and can of course benefit further from this by giving a bigger part of the population the opportunity to take part. This will no doubt represent a challenge for the establishment as it inflicts with conventional wisdom but would greatly benefit the country if implemented.

India has grown into the call center and support center of the world, which would never have happened if the education and skill set had not been on the level it is. India has in its culture service and takes great pride in delivering quality which are two major factors why the above have become reality.

Mindset

But there is also a very definite danger in this and the main reason why the western world is so laid back regarding the rise of India as a real industrial power. This is the mindset. Conventional wisdom is way too dominant to create any major change in a country actually having the skills to do it.

Mindset is generally a major hindrance for change, and especially in India where the stratification of the society is so strong through the caste system. Even though constitutionally outlawed still alive through a combination of social perceptions and divisive politics, i.e. conventional wisdom. Conventional wisdom is the most destructive force against creating change.

The service attitude is a pre, but also a con. Through many years of colonization the servant’s role is still predominant (call center/support center). Goals like being the best supplier of cost efficient services to big North American companies are typical. While there is nothing wrong with such a goal per se as it will benefit India, the cost effectiveness from the North American perspective is perceived as cheap. This perception needs to be changed.

The only way to break free from this mold, norm or conventional wisdom is to change the mindset. Learn the laws of the Universe; they are naturally universal. India needs to create empires, but first in the mind. To do that a mindset shift is needed, not away from the serving but away from the servant. Gandhi said: “be that change you want to see in the world”. For India to further develop in a positive direction the individual needs to change, so the individual needs to take responsibility and be that change she or he wants to see.

India needs to show the way. There are probably many examples where India does that. Tutorvista is but one. This is an excellent initiative, great knowledge and creativity, a niche but still with a need to break through the limiting thoughts regarding pricing.

To summarize:

1. The Market is at your fingertips
2. Nothing wrong with the Skills, just develop more of them, and diversify
3. Mindset – see the opportunities and be ready to step forward. For those entrepreneurs who see this, the world is world is at your feet. See yourself as successful leaders with power to positively impact the world.

In a process of change it is easy to let go of more than necessary, so it is important to take care of all the best elements of the Indian culture like enjoyment of life, living in the moment, live in balance, be authentic. And be Indian, be you, not someone else, the world wants you. You have unlimited potential and somehow India seems to be uniquely prepared for the world of tomorrow. Grab the possibility, you will surprise the world, and as a cliche, but nevertheless, the traditional “white man” has become fat, lazy and greedy. He has lost. It is a new era; it is time to take charge. This is India’s chance.

What is the Soul? Do You Have One? Are You One? A Quantum Answer

10 MAY
2012

Author: The Oracle

What is the Soul? Do You Have One? Are You One? A Quantum Answer

These are questions only the Divine can answer accurately, but that doesn’t mean we are left completely in the dark. There are clues we can decipher that have become clearer with the advent of quantum physics.  Humans have always been curious about life and resistant to the idea that our short existence on the earth is the only life we have.  But does the concept of a soul ensure immortal life?

You may be surprised to realize that several currently popular beliefs about the soul originated in ancient Assyria, Babylon and Egypt rather than mainstream religions. There are so many aspects that could be considered part of the soul; the Egyptians solved the problem by giving the soul five parts.

The heart:  symbolizes the good or evil a person did during their lifetime
The shadow: the essence of a person; what made them distinct
The name:  given at birth to ensure survival as long as the name is remembered
The personality: an immortal aspect that survives the body
The spirit:  the spark of life that animates the body

The ancient Greeks used the words alive and ‘ensouled’ interchangeably, focusing on the soul as the spark of life.  Plato thought there was an essence, an immortal personality, that reincarnated in one body after another, but Aristotle saw immortality only in terms of a name that was remembered through time.

Although many Christians, particularly some protestant denominations, believe the soul is immortal and will automatically end up in eternal bliss or torment, the Bible says something quite different.

In Genesis 2:7 we’re told that after God made Adam out of dust, He “breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” Spirit was the breath and spark of life that animated Adam’s body, but Adam himself became the soul. But many scriptures found throughout the Bible agree with Ezekiel 18:4, “The soul that is sinning—it itself will die.” This is not to say that the Bible holds out no hope of eternal life, only that the soul itself is not immortal.

For Buddhists, life continues and reincarnates in one body after another, but that life is not tied to a fixed identity as it is in most other belief systems. Since our world is constantly changing, and we change with it, Buddhists say that the ‘you’ reading this sentence will be a different you by the time you’ve finished the article. In that sense, the soul would be more like a river; the flow is continuous yet never the same, however, it is still the river.

Hindus believe the personal soul and the universal Divine soul are one and the same, so the soul is unborn and eternal. However, the soul has entered a body and created a separate identity for itself. It has become lost in the illusion of separation, forgetting who and what it actually is. As a result, the individual soul continues to reincarnate until it becomes aware of its oneness with the Divine.

When we began the article, we promised a look at what quantum physics can tell us about the soul. If you believe in God, you probably also believe that God is eternal. However, in most cases the soul is associated with life that is not immortal but can be given and taken away. This implies that God exists outside the universe, but the quantum perspective is quite different. Physicists tell us our universe is life, and that life is one indivisible, interconnected whole. Many physicists now believe the universe and the Divine are one and the same.

In our universe energy can become matter and matter energy, but the sum total remains stable. We’ve been taught to think of some forms of matter as dead, and only higher life forms as conscious, but research has demonstrated that everything in our universe, both matter and energy, are conscious and alive. This makes sense when we think of the universe as the living Self of the Divine. From that perspective it would be impossible for anything within the universe to be without life.  As the ancient Chandogya Upanishad explains, “In the beginning was only Being, One without a second. Out of himself he brought forth the cosmos and entered into everything in it…Of everything he is the inmost Self.”

From the quantum perspective, we can look at the soul in two ways. Either there is one eternal life-giving and sustaining universal soul that permeates everything in existence, or there is no real need for the concept of the soul at all. Of course the idea that we are the immortal Divine poses many questions about the human life we appear to be leading. Quantum physics can help us there as well, and gives an answer very similar to the Hindu and Buddhist explanations of the soul.

Physicist David Bohm’s ‘holographic’ model of the universe demonstrates that reality exists at the quantum level of the universe rather than the material world. In this matrix or Divine Ground, consciousness interacts with energy to bring the material world into existence. The material portion of the universe is more accurately thought of as a virtual reality, the illusionary playground that ancient sages claim we’ve been lost in for centuries.

Hindu and Buddhist teachings on reincarnation suggest that the soul actually inhabits one body after another as it goes through the cycle of life and death. On the other hand, quantum research suggests that each lifetime is projected by consciousness that remains at the quantum level of the universe. We could think of the body more like a toy radio controlled car that’s operated from a distance. The car moves at the direction of the child running the controls, but we would never think the child was in the tiny toy car. Science is confirming that the brain serves as an elegant receiver, but consciousness exists outside the body and interacts with the brain. When we understand that life already permeates everything in existence, a life-giving soul would not need to inhabit a body.

When the body appears to die, what we’re seeing is matter returning to energy, a transference rather than a death. But the consciousness that projected the body does continue its eternal existence as it projects one lifetime after another. Instead of trying to figure out whether we have a soul or are a soul, spiritual masters recommend that we wake up to the realization that we always have been, and always will be, an immortal part of All That Is.

The Role of Physics in Society

If we could get into one of those wonderful Wellsian time machines, all shining oak and glass, with polished brass handles and instruments, and ride it back to some time in the latter half of the nineteenth century, we would encounter a very different world from the one of today. Especially for Americans, it is difficult to conceive of a world where the United States counted for relatively little on the world stage. The same applied even more to all the other countries of the Americas. Except for Canada and Cuba, the whole continent had won political independence from Europe during that century, but it was still perceived as an extension of European cultures, with limited input in world affairs.

The whole world was run, in effect, from a handful of Western European countries, led by Britain which, even without the United States, had an empire that covered about one quarter of the globe.

Furthermore, it was by far the leading manufacturer of machinery, armaments and textiles in the world, with the Bank of England holding most of the gold used in world trade. France also had a very large empire and so did some very small European countries, like Holland, Belgium and Portugal. Germany and Italy were occupied for many years during this period with unifying their countries under one central authority and therefore missed out on most of the empire building activity, but Germany especially was rapidly catching up with Britain as a leading manufacturing nation by the end of that century.

Looking at the size of all these European countires on the map, one can only wonder how it came about that they were running most of the world at that time. What made their influence so overwhelming when, only a few centuries before, they had seemed on the verge of extinction from the black death? The answer to this question leads into the subject of this article.

What made the small Western European nations invincible at that time were the practical applications of natural laws, contained in Newton’s monumental synthesis, the Principia Mathematica, published in 1687. Only four years before that date, Western Europe had been very nearly overrun by the Ottoman Turks and was only saved by the opportune arrival of the king of Poland, Jan Sobieski, who rode his cavalry to the aid of the beleagured Duke of Lorraine and his Christian coalition, fighting a desperate battle bfore the gates of Vienna. And a scant two hundred years later, the flood of inventions derived from applying the basic laws of physics enabled these same endangered little countries to rule the world.

Was that all there was to the story? If we had made our time machine land somewhere in England during this period, the latter half of the nineteenth century, we would have encountered some appalling and, to us today, totally unacceptable social conditions. But there would have been something else. English society at that time exuded an underlying confidence and certainty that we can only envy today. They were looking to science to solve all their problems by simply continuing along the same path they had been following for over a hundred years. And by science they meant the scientific way of looking at things, which meant not only building better steam engines, roads, railroads and ships, but also better social systems and laws, founded not on hereditary privilege but on usefulness to the community. They knew they still had plenty of work left but they felt they were on the right path and the coming twentieth century would bring very great benefits and solutions to problems.

Where did this “scientific way of looking at things” come from and why did it suddenly provide such an impetus to a few Western European nations? The answer lies not with Newton but beyond him, to Galileo. Galileo founded modern physics by providing the axiomatic postulates that defined this “scientific way” for the future. He first of all secularized science by removing God from the picture and installing nature and her laws in His place. Nature was all that was needed to explain the physical world in mathematical (scientific) terms. Then he concentrated the focus of his new physics on just matter and motion. What causes a change in motion is a physical force and these are the realities dealt with by Newton.

Galileo was a revolutionary innovator when it came to viewing the world. He looked at it analytically, without feeling any personal connection with the objects he was analyzing. This change from the medieval, participatory, experience of the world enabled Galileo and later thinkers like Newton to express natural phenomena and natural laws in mathematical, logical terms. The previously impenetrable laws of nature were explained in simple, rational ways that ordinary people could understand. They could see that, if you confined God and the upper world to a realm of belief only, the only reality you had to deal with in nature consisted of the physical objects that, in Lord Kelvin’s phrase, were “quantifiable” and “measurable”.

By the end of the nineteenth century, the whole of nature was becoming a well-lighted room, with every new advance in science adding to the brightness of the illumination. It was fully expected that physics would finish its theoretical work very soon. As the same Lord Kelin said in the 1880s: “There is nothing new to be discovered in physics now; all that remains is more and more precise measurement”.

Here, then, is the origin of that confidence and certainty which was such a feature of Victorian society, which could be seen in any portrait of the plump and prosperous persons of the new moneyed classes of the time. There was complete harmony between the way people experienced the world as the only solid reality and the way science explained this world in laws that were predictable and logical, with causes leading to their calculable effects as certainly as billiard balls colliding on a table.

Then came the twentieth century and physics breached the atomic barrier. The solid reality of physical objects (which Newton dealt with) disintegrated in the subatomic world of particles. It became obvious that these particles were not just very small bits of the same matter that people were familiar with. As time went on and quantum mechanics kept gaining ground, the very reality of the existence of such particles as separate entities became doubful. One of the greatest physicists of the twentieth century, Werner Heisenberg, put it this way:

“In the experiments about atomic events we have to do with things and facts, the phenomena that are just as real as any phenomena in daily life. But the atoms or elementary particles themselves are not real; they form a world of potentialities or possibilities rather than of things or facts”.

But any object in nature that Newton dealt with is simply composed of a very large number of these “atoms or elementary particles”. If these are not real and the objects themselves are real, where does reality begin? Is reality merely a function of the number of atoms you can put together? We can begin to see why we no longer enjoy that feeling of certainty and confidence in having the right answers which our Victorian ancestors laid claim to.

We still, or at least most of us do, feel the world as Galileo did. We still feel that the physical objects of nature are the only solid reality, and this includes gases, which may not be visible but which we know consist of just those same “atoms and elementary particles” whose reality can, apparently, no longer be taken for granted. Our science today no longer reflects the way we feel about the world. The old harmony is gone. However, most of us still have faith in science’s ability to explain the world to us. In Newton’s time, science was readily understood by educated people. His laws could be taught to schoolchildren. Even if he could not really explain what gravity actually was, Newton proved mathematically that its operation could be explained successfully by saying that it worked in direct proportion to the masses of the bodies involved and in inverse proportion to the square of the distance between them. Today, the mathematics of physics has become so difficult that only a small group of specialists can understand it. Ordinary people, even if they are reasonably well acquainted with science, can no longer contribute to the debate in terms of the mathematical work involved.

However, physics has now reached the point where in both theory and practice in, for instance quantum mechanics, the consequences and implications of the work done are philosophical as well as mathematical. This may have the effect of bringing this very remote and difficult science once more into an area of more public debate. The mathematics would, of course, remain off-limits to ordinary mortals, but the conceptual structure that Galileo bequeathed to later thinkers, especially with regard to reality, might need revision and others besides theoretical physicists might usefully be brought into the picture. Galileo, like most educated people of his time, was well versed in the Platonic concepts of reality. To Plato, the knowledge to be gained from the physical world was fleeting and unreliable, being merely the subjective result of our sense perceptions. Real, true knowledge, which did not depend on human senses and was therefore objective, was to him a property only of the upper, divine world. However, when Galileo came to stating his axiomatic postulates regarding future scientific methods, he felt that matter and motion – and only matter and motion – were suitable for science because they did not depend on any human presence or any human senses. He felt that these two “qualities” were independently (and therefore objectively) real. His thinking in this regard affected the course of the entire future of physics, though in time, not just matter and motion but all physical phenomena came to be regarded as independently (and therefore objectively) real, as we have seen.

However, physics, in its own, normal development in the last hundred years, has come to realize that all physical phenomena, perceived through the senses, must be subjective in nature. Even matter and motion involve the sense of sight and Galileo erred in thinking that these two qualities of the physical world could somehow be considered objective, or independent of man’s senses. But if everything we perceive in nature has, by definition, to be subjective, then no physical phenomena can have an independent identity or history of their own, which would cause very serious rethinking about the early periods of this earth, before the appearance of man. For these reasons, it seems reasonable to suppose that our concepts of reality in modern physics are the ones that most need new thinking, so that a revised framework of concepts might be worked out, within which the physics of the future can operate.

Werner Thurau was born in December 1927, in Havana, Cuba. In 1929, his family returned to his father’s native Germany. He spent the entire 1930s in Berlin, but came to England in 1939 and was then further educated in that country, ending with an engineering degree from London University. His further career took him all over the world on technical projects, moving first to Mexico and then to the United States, where he lives now. At school in England, he was exposed early in life to the world of ideas. Some of his teachers were friends of C.S. Lewis and Lewis’s Oxford group, the Inklings, and his father was a philosophical bookworm. Werner combined this background with a lifelong interest in physics, especially modern physics after it breached the atomic barrier. This interest extended to Galileo, the founder of our age, and what made him so different from others of his time, as well as to the effect physics has had on other related sciences, such as evolutionary theory (and its polar opposite, creationism). He came to see that the latest developments in physics bring in subjects not normally associated with a book on that science, such as consciousness, reality concepts and even ethics. It is the reality concepts of Galileo that have most haunted physics ever since and need revision.

Wonder carbon pioneers win Nobel Physics Prize

Wonder carbon pioneers win Nobel Physics Prize

Two Russian-born scientists, Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov, won the 2010 Nobel Physics Prize Tuesday for pioneering work on graphene, touted as the wonder material of the 21st century.

Both laureates began their careers as physicists in Russia but now work at the University of Manchester in Britain. Geim holds Dutch nationality and Novoselov is both a British and Russian national.

The Swedish Academy of Sciences hailed graphene — “the perfect atomic lattice” — for its glittering potential in computers, home gadgets and transport.

It lauded Geim, 51, and Novoselov, 36, for having “shown that carbon in such a flat form has exceptional properties that originate from the remarkable world of quantum physics.”

The prize honors a breakthrough that paved the way to graphene, a form of carbon touted as the next-generation super-material.

Just one atom thick, it is the world’s thinnest and strongest nano-material, almost transparent and able to conduct electricity and heat.

As a result, graphene is described as the candidate material to replace silicon semi-conductors.

Graphene transistors would in theory be able to run at faster speeds and cope with higher temperatures than today’s classic computer chips.

That would resolve a fast-growing problem facing chip engineers who want to boost power and shrink semiconductor size but without raising temperatures, the bugbear of computing.

Its transparency means it could potentially be used in touch screens and even solar cells, and when mixed with plastics would provide light but super-strong composite materials for next-generation satellites, planes and cars.

The Nobel jury acknowledged that most of graphene’s practical applications “exist only in our fantasies, but many are already being tested.”

The committee added the laureates believed research should be fun.

For instance, Geim managed in 1997 to make a frog levitate in a magnetic field, the jury said, calling it “an ingenious way of illustrating the principles of physics.”

On Tuesday, Geim told the committee he was looking at emails and looking at archives when he got the call.

“I slept well, I didn’t expect the Nobel Prize this year,” he said, adding he was going straight back to work.

“In my opinion there are several categories of Nobel Prize winners, one which after getting the Nobel Prize stop doing anything for the rest of their life. It is a big disservice for the community,” he said.

The other category of people, which he said he belonged to, were “people who think people think they won the Nobel Prize by accident so they start working even harder than before.”

Last year, Charles Kao, Willard Boyle and George Smith won the physics prize for work on fibre optics and light sensing that helped unleash the Information Technology revolution

apps.facebook.com www.coasttocoastam.com Combining the fields of quantum physics, neuroscience, biology, and genetics, Dr. Joe Dispenza www.drjoedispenza.com discussed how to create change and a new reality for oneself. By the time a person has reached the age of 35, “we’ve memorized a set of behaviors, emotional reactions, and thought patterns” that have become 95% of our identity…”then, the greatest habit we have to break is the habit of being ourselves,he commented. By repeating the same routines day after day, “we begin to hard wire our brain into very specific patterns that reflect our external world,” so to effect change we have to think beyond the environment and conditions in our life, he continued. Dispenza spoke about “demystifying the mystical,” and using meditation to become aware of how thought and emotions are functioning — how a person con see past their mental programming, and identify as the consciousness observing the program. “Meditation, then, is the unlearning process– it’s to become aware of the old self, the aspects of our selves we want to change by going into the operating system of those subconscious programs and bringing them into our conscious awareness so that we have dominion over them, “he explained. Through meditation, we can slow brain wave patterns down, and move into greater coherence, so that one isn’t knocked out of balance by external and emotional factors, Dispenza detailed. He also talked about the notion of neuroplasticity–the
