....yes, and you know what that means don't you:sunny: consciousness may be limitless, the entire universe is conscious, and the highest levels of our conscious minds are deep parts of the universe's subconscious "mind"
Consciousness is limitless! DUH HELLO! Who the fuck gives any one person authority to definitively decide on any one subject? Only a fool!
Oh, I know the far reaching ramifications that concept holds for science, religion and our fundamental universal paradigm, kinda why I pointed it out.

One of the key aspects of making a hypothesis in science is you don't defer to others to study up on the arguments or evidence you are attempting to prove... I'll concede I'm not super knowledgeable about quantum physics but I watch Through the Wormhole, Into the Universe, have read Hawkins and Kaku. I understand some of the concepts. A definition of quantum entanglement is fine as long as it's encompassed within arguments and/or some evidence which you have provided none as it relates to ESP.. I am looking for your arguments as how does this phenomena of quantum entanglement relate to ESP? By your definition, I don't see any reason why humans should not be able to telepathic with sea lions, aliens, anteaters, etc.
Let's try and get this thread back on topic please Thank you! EDIT: I see this thread is getting back on topic again, let's keep it that way
I thought you made sense with the conscious, unconscious thing there, Ace. At least, it made sense to me! lol
Particles in your brain could be entangled with other particles, that are possibly part of someone else's brain. Communication could take place this way I think. I don't claim that I've figured it all out. Even the most respected psyscisists say that there's much more they don't know than what they know. I know what i wNt to explain but I don't have the language capability to explain it properly..some of it is, beyond language. I have experienced some strange things.
As have I, particularly on drugs Even if it hypothetically ocurred, I don't see how a few particles becoming entangled with a few others in another's brain would override the billions upon billions of neuronal connections in brain processing providing individual consciousnss, that's even assuming that the particles contained information for the mind to bring to consciousness. The brain is amazingly complex and fascinating, so much to learn about it still. There used to be this dichotomy in science where like physics was considered a 'hard' science where you know everything was kind of easily applicable and psychology was considered a pejorative 'soft' science because a lot of it was viewed as more abstract/subjective. Now it seems a lot of psychology seems to be gravitating towards physical psychology and neuroscience and more 'hard' science and physics is gravitating towards stuff like Dark Matter/Dark Energy and Theoretical physics more abstract, those categorical lines seems to be blurring imo.
We'll never figure it all out, but we will keep learning, learning more each day and the pace quickens.
It's sort of a tribal dynamic, where the group doesn't give individuals permission to think for themselves. They are more like scientists in that way; they just use different methods because measurement and experimentation are usually impossible in their specialty area.
The story of how one of the cardinals refused to look through Galileo's telescope is one I've always found telling. It's the kind of attitude that gives rise to cognitive dissonance, where they're desperately trying to paper over the cracks in their picture of the world. It's astonishing that there are still people who believe the Earth is only 6,000 years old. Most philosophers rely on logic, which is good. The problem is you can construct a wholly logical argument starting from a false premise.
Yeah when there's scientific fact that the universe is almost 14 billion years old and I think the earth is like 3.8 million years old I believe.
