Splinter in the Mind, ??? 2: Modern Physics “Quantum Mechanics is different. Its weirdness is evident without comparison. It is harder to train your mind to have quantum mechanical tuition, because quantum mechanics shatters our own personal, individual conception of reality” –Brian Greene Quantum physics is arguably the most profound scientific discovery in the history of mankind, and yet even with its amazingly accurate experimental results, it remains a quandary when applied to everyday common sense reality. Even in a world where one-third of all production (Lasers, transistors, and magnetic resonance imaging machines to name a few) is based off of quantum discoveries, it is difficult to relate to what quantum theory is showing us. Nevertheless, it stands as the number one theory in all of science and must be heeded lest we lose the much needed sharpness on the edge of Ockham’s Razor. Like Rosenblum & Kuttner wrote in their book Quantum Enigma: Physics Encounters Consciousness, “The experimental results of quantum theory are completely undisputed. It is the mystery these results imply beyond physics that is hotly disputed.” There are four major discoveries in quantum mechanics that are applicable to the nature of consciousness: (a) Einstein’s special theory of relativity, (b) the interference phenomenon, (c) Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, ??? (d) Schrodinger’s equation. Each of these theoretical discoveries have quite literally entrenched conscious observation into the realm of theoretical physics. Before Einstein it was assumed that time was uniform throughout the universe and that the velocity of light depended upon the velocity of the observer. Einstein’s special theory of relativity, essentially, states that light and time are relative to the observer. “Any observers, whatever their constant velocity, could consider themselves at rest” writes Rosenblum & Kuttner, “There is no absolute velocity; only relative velocities are meaningful – hence, the theory of relativity.” Far stranger than the relativity of light, ????, is the relativity of time, wherein time passes slower for a moving object than a stationary object. The famous twin paradox is a result of such reasoning, and has baffled physicists since its first conception. If Einstein’s relativity isn’t mind boggling enough, the results from experiments that have been done on photons definitely is. The most famous of these experiments is known as the photon interference experiment; or two-slit experiment. This experiment shows us that particles are also waves and are possibly, somehow, being influenced by phantom particles in other dimensions. It shows us that reality is more than what meets our eyes, or even our instruments, are telling us it is. Common sense tells us that light must either be made up of particles or waves, but what the interference experiment proves is that light is both. Before Heisenberg it was assumed that anything within nature could be measured with accuracy. His principle, ????, brought about a humility that has baffled scientists for years. Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle states that you cannot make measurements with infinite accuracy, such as measuring the velocity and position of an electron. No matter how sensitive your instruments are, there will always be uncertainty in your measurements. If you know an electron’s velocity you cannot know its precise location; if you know its location you cannot know its velocity. But what is it that makes light both a particle and a wave? It is only after a measurement has been made that light is perceived as a particle or a wave, so it must be the measurement that is causing the phenomenon. ???: conscious observation. Schrodinger’s equation is probably the most difficult concept to understand in modern physics and it is, arguably, the most bizarre discovery in science. It birthed the concept of the wavefunction. It is the cornerstone of all current research in physics. Shrodinger’s equation shows how a quantum wavefunction is in two different states simultaneously until a conscious observer intercedes, thereby collapsing the quantum wave function into a particular state. It shows, with blinding accuracy, that the probability of an object (photon, atom, electron, ?????) being there is dependent upon conscious observation! It’s “not that the object was there before you found it there,” writes Rosenblum & Kuttner. “Your happening to find it there caused it to be there. This is tricky and the essence of the quantum enigma” ??, understanding quantum mechanics can be quite daunting, and even depressing. It is not for the faint of heart. Truly applying quantum theory to the perception of reality is a very humbling experience, because at the quantum level there is no self, no ‘I’, no separation of this or that. To truly understand quantum mechanics you must leave your sense of reality at the door. At one end of the spectrum we have the physicist. While at the other end of the spectrum we have the psychologist. Each one is intent on learning and discovering new ways of observing certain aspects of reality. Each one is aware of the natural correlations between subjective conscious observation and objective physical measurements. Each one is an observer. Each one is conscious. “Consciousness,” writes K. Ramakrishna Rao in his book Consciousness Studies: Cross-Cultural Perspectives, “does seem to coexist and interact within physical events. Such an interaction would be as much of interest to a physicist as it is to a psychologist” The brain, in classical physics, is a subjective measuring device that sits inside the skull and interacts physiologically with the rest of the body which, congruently, interacts with the environment. But what is going on at the subatomic level of the brain? Might there be a wave-like/particle-like duality inherent within neurons? If Schrodinger’s equation applies to all particles, whether wave-like or particle-like, then why wouldn’t it apply to a brain, or a tornado, or the way water flows down a creek? It seems that there is a fine line between perception and reality. That fine line is the psycho-physical interaction between the brain, the body, and the environment. Discovering the correlations between consciousness and the new physics might help to turn the complexity of that fine line into a simple one. ???, the implicate and explicate aspects of the quantum/consciousness enigma continues to boggle us. Perhaps it’s as David Bohm surmised, “The mental and physical are two sides of one overall process that are (like form and content) separated only in thought and not in actuality” I thoroughly enjoyed this article….. I am sure it is one I will want read and re-read as it awakens within me a familiar feeling I want to remember.

Splinter u Mind, Dio 2: Moderna fizika "Quantum Mechanics je drugačiji. Njegova nastranost evidentno bez usporedbe. To je teže trenirati svoj um da kvantno mehanička školarine, jer kvantna mehanika razbija naša osobna, Pojedinac koncepcija stvarnosti "-Brian Greene Kvantna fizika je vjerojatno najdublji znanstveno otkriće u povijesti čovječanstva, a opet, čak i sa svojim nevjerojatno točne eksperimentalni rezultati, ostaje dilema kad se odnosi na svakodnevni razumni stvarnosti. Čak iu svijetu u kojem je jedna trećina od svih proizvodnja (Laseri, tranzistori, i magnetska rezonancija strojevi u ime nekoliko) temelji off kvantne otkrića, teško je da se odnose na ono što je kvantna teorija nam pokazuje. Ipak, to stoji kao broj jedan u teoriji sve znanosti i mora se obazirati kako ne bismo izgubili toliko potrebnu oštrinu na rubu Ockhamovoj Razor. Kao Rosenblum & Kuttner je napisao u svojoj knjizi Quantum Enigma: Fizika susreti Svijest, "Eksperimentalni rezultati kvantne teorije potpuno nesporno. To je misterij ovi rezultati upućuju izvan fizike koji žestoko sporno. Četiri su glavna otkrića u kvantnoj mehanici koje su primjenjive prirode svijesti: (a) Einstein je posebna Teorija relativnosti, (b) smetnje fenomen, (c) Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, i (d) Schrödinger jednadžba. Svaki od tih teorijskih otkrića prilično su doslovno ukopala svjesno promatranje u područje teorijske fizike. Prije nego što je Einstein je pretpostavio da je vrijeme bila jedinstvena u cijelom svemiru i da je brzina svjetlosti ovisio o brzini promatrača. Einsteinova posebna teorija relativnosti, u suštini, navodi da je svjetlost i time su u odnosu na promatrača. "Bilo promatrači, bez obzira na njihovu konstantna brzina, može se uzeti u obzir u mirovanju ", piše Rosenblum & Kuttner, "Ne postoji apsolutna brzina; samo relativne brzine su smisleni - stoga, teorija relativnosti. "Daleko stranac od relativnosti svjetlosti, međutim, je relativnost vremena, u kojem vrijeme prolazi sporije za premještanje objekta od stacionarni objekt. Poznati bračni paradoks je posljedica takvog rezoniranja, te je zbunilo fizičare od prvog začeća. Ako Einsteinova relativnost ne smeta toliko fantastičnih, rezultati eksperimenata koje su učinili na fotona svakako je. Najpoznatiji tih eksperimenata je poznat kao eksperiment fotona smetnje; ili dva proreza eksperiment. Ovaj eksperiment pokazuje nam da su čestice i valovi i eventualno, nekako, pod utjecajem fantomskih čestica u drugim dimenzijama. To nam pokazuje da je stvarnost više od onoga što zadovoljava naše oči, ili čak i naši instrumenti, govore nam da je. Zdrav razum nam govori da svjetlo mora ni biti sastavljena od čestica ili valova, ali ono što je eksperiment smetnje dokazuje se da je svjetlost i. Prije Heisenberg je pretpostavio da je sve u prirodi može se mjeriti s točnošću. Njegov princip, međutim, doveo je do poniznosti koja je zbunjen znanstvenike godinama. Heisenberg je princip neodređenosti navodi da se ne može napraviti mjerenja s beskrajnom točnost, kao što su mjerenje brzine i pozicije elektrona. Bez obzira na to koliko su osjetljivi tvoji instrumenti, uvijek će biti neizvjesnosti u svojim mjerenjima. Ako znate brzinu se elektron-a ne može znati svoju točnu lokaciju; ako znate svoje mjesto ne može znati svoju brzinu. No, što je to što čini svjetlo i čestica i val? To je tek nakon mjerenja je napravljen da se svjetlost percipira kao čestica ili val, tako da mora biti mjera koja uzrokuje fenomen. Drugim riječima: svjesno promatranje. Schrödinger jednadžba je vjerojatno najteže koncept za razumijevanje u modernoj fizici, a to je, nedvojbeno, najbizarnije otkriće u znanosti. To rađa pojam wavefunction. To je temelj svega trenutnog istraživanja u fizici. Shrodinger jednadžba pokazuje kako kvantno wavefunction je u dvije različite države istovremeno dok svjesni promatrač posreduje, čime urušavanja kvantni funkciju vala u određenoj državi. To pokazuje, s blistavo točnost, da je vjerojatnost objekta (foton, atom, elektron, itd.) što je ovisan o svjesnom promatranju! To je "ne da je objekt bio tamo prije nego što je pronašao postoji,"Piše Rosenblum & Kuttner. "Vaš događa da ga tamo naći izazvao je biti tamo. To je lukav i suština kvantne enigme " Doista, razumijevanje kvantne mehanike može biti prilično zastrašujuće, pa čak i depresivno. To nije za onesvijestiti se od srca. Zaista primjene kvantne teorije na percepciju stvarnosti je vrlo ponižavajuće iskustvo, jer je na kvantnoj razini ne postoji samostalno, nema "ja", nema odvajanja od ovog ili onog. Za istinski razumjeti kvantnu mehaniku morate napustiti svoj osjećaj stvarnosti na vratima. Na jednom kraju spektra imamo fizičara. Dok su na drugom kraju spektra imamo psihologa. Svaki od njih je o namjeri učenje i otkrivanje novih načina promatranja određene aspekte stvarnosti. Svatko je svjestan prirodnih korelacija između subjektivnog svjesnog promatranja i objektivnih fizičkih mjerenja. Svaki je promatrač. Svaki od njih je svjesno. "Svijest,"Piše K. Ramakrishna Rao u svojoj knjizi Svijest studije: Cross-Cultural Perspectives, "Čini se da koegzistiraju i interakciju unutar fizičkih događaja. Takva interakcija bi se što je više od interesa za fizičar, jer je to psiholog " Mozak, u klasičnoj fizici, je subjektivna mjerni uređaj koji sjedi unutar lubanje i interakciju fiziološki s ostatkom tijela koje, U skladu s tim, komunicira s okolinom. No, ono što se događa na subatomskoj razini mozga? Možda bude wave-like/particle-like dualnost inherentna u neuronima? Ako Schrödinger jednadžba vrijedi za sve čestice, li val nalik ili čestice poput, zašto onda ne bi se on primjenjivati na mozgu, ili tornado, ili način voda teče potok? Čini se da postoji tanka linija između percepcije i stvarnosti. To tanka linija je psiho-fizičko interakcija između mozga, the body, i okoliš. Otkrivanje korelacije između svijesti i nove fizike moglo pomoći da se složenost tog fine linije u jednostavnu jedan. Kako sada stvari stoje, impliciraju i razjasniti aspekte kvantnog / svijesti enigma i dalje nas zapanjiti. Možda je to što je David Bohm pretpostavio, "Mentalno i fizički su dvije strane jednog ukupnog procesa koji su (kao i oblik i sadržaj) razdvojene samo u mislima, a ne u stvarnosti " Izvor slike: Komentari I thoroughly enjoyed this article…..I am sure it is one I will want read and re-read as it awakens within me a familiar feeling I want to remember.
