premonition come seconds before they happen

I don't think that any kind of electromagnetism, including quantum effects, can explain psychic phenomena. I think a fundamental change is required in how we view the universe, and one clue is the Hindu term maya - "illusion." I think the best analogy is that the phsyical space-time universe is like an elaborate dream. The "person" dreaming that dream is in some sense us, and in some sense much more than merely us. But if the fundamental basis of existence were consciousness/awareness or something akin to that, it would explain how something in one corner of the universe could affect something simultaneously millions of light years away. No transmission of electromagnetic waves or particles can travel that fast.

 

The whole idea is that consciousness and awareness is at core of the quantum field, which connects all particles, and leads to the affect of waves at very great distances, and also which has no limit of speed.... Which is a huge part of the quantum effect, limitless.

You can't rule out the quantum level just because it makes psychic ability far less fantastic seeming, I think it makes the most sense in explaining many kinds of phenomena.

 

i think it makes the most sense also. as soon as plant head started talking quantum physicis i started paying attention instead of dismissing it. as far as something occuring simultaneously, that is at the very core of nonlocality and entanglement. its been proven that two particles can effect each other across space-time without the involvement of anything like electromagnetic waves linking them. its a weird concept; i think einstein called it spooky science which is pretty aptly named. i dont know..i dont really know enough about psychic phenomonon or quantum physics to draw any conclusions but i think i might have to start researching the two subjects to see how they relate.

 

Ah, I think I see what you're saying - I must have missed it before. The consciousness/awareness thing is the basis, but you're saying that's what results in the quantum nonlocality/entanglement thing. So actually we're saying the same thing! It's just that I've been saying this for years...I guess the world is catching up...

 

It's interesting field with many possibilities, that we may never ever be able to prove, but yes Einstein did call it..."spooky action at a distance" In fact he didn't really like that idea because it was so mysterious and unexplainable by normal physics, and I think much of that new field was the motivation to Einsteins overly obsessive work until his death.

 

Yeah, Einstein was trying to come up with a general theory of relativity - a way of tying together all the known natural forces. Physicists are still trying to do that, after all these decades. In some ways it sort of surprises me that he didn't think of the consciousness/awareness idea...he had the kind of mind that coulda done it. But I think he was too pissed off about the strangeness of quantum physics, so that probably handicapped him.

 

Well yes, it was about tying together the theory of Relativity which is physics at the macro level, and Quantum mechanics which is physics at the micro level. The tie together is referred to as the TOE (Theory of Everything), and the rather recent modern theory is String Theory, which still has holes. I would love to have the comprehension and learning capacity to learn all about it, but I just can't put myself to it. Just yet at least. And I don't think the tie together will really be the theory of everything. I don't think the mystery of the world, and all its capabilities, is really as simple to be comprehended by the human ego. If life evolved from consciousness, which there is much evidence of, then we are working backwards, which is our only option, but I think in our travels backwards down the number line, we will reach a point where the science capabilities we have now will not be sufficient to bridge the gap. But we can realize through experience what kind of supernatural abilities our minds have.....

I'm not sure why Steven Hawking said, "Science doesn't disprove god, just makes him unnecessary" I think much of it requires the inquiry of an intelligence separate the human mind, or maybe a very integral part of it. We already know the functioning of ecosystems works in mind like manners, with a bank of knowledge from experience.

 

Stephen Hawking may be a stinkin' genius, but he's not perfect.

Your posts sound so much like my own thoughts sometimes it's uncanny...and you're only 20? I agree with substantially everything you said. I think science may run into its limitations eventually with regard to understanding the nature of the universe - or of existence itself. I wonder if Stephen Hawking is getting senile or sumthun...

 

I know he has sclerosis terribly, which is a terribly debilitating condition, but he has more than made up for it with brains as well as ego. He is known to be quite an asshole, but then again there are a lot of people of disabilities that are like that, you can't necessarily hold it against them. But the degree to which Hawking has been pandered to and listened to as a final judgment is kind of discouraging of the current scientific community. I recently saw a program on discovery channel where he was given complete creative rights over, about what HE thought the meeting of another life form in this Universe would be like. In his version he was sent as the representative of the human race. That is so ironic....

 

That is kinda funny. Well I suppose it's hard not to be egotistical when the entire physics community treats you like a god.

I watched the documentary about him, A Brief History of Time, and it made the point that if not for his physical disease, he may not have taken the time to put so much thought into his work, so in a way the disease might be responsible for some of his genius.

But saying something like "science makes God unnecessary" is just begging to be put in one's place.
