Quantum Woo or Enlightenment

Isnt this all just Quantum Woo?

Quantum Woo is a thing, but is it so cut and dry as many pure traditional physisits would have you think? Many things in this world can be explained by an equation but perhaps not everything, is so simple?

Not everyone is adept enough to become a world class Quantum Physicist like Einstein, Heisenberg or Sheldon Cooper 😉 , however QM tries to explain the universe in which we all live in. Therefor to some extent we all have a say as it affects all of us. As we also know most branches of science are so specialized that no one has an overview that could be sufficient to cover all the bases, this is where Buddhism or the Science of mind can connect the dots that philosophers and psychologists are close to doing but physists either will not or are wooed away. I in no way think that every conspiracy theory can be explained or that we will all get rich if we follow some steps correctly at all, I simply think that there must be a middle way between the divide of the pure equations and the woo that seems to flood the internet theories that are better left alone due to their paranoia and victum psychology.

The mistake that science seems to make is that they are really good at explaining the objective world but have either forgotten or purposely left the mind or consciousness out of the equation. Logically speaking what good is an object like an atom or any object without a subject like you or me to use, have, or appreciate it in any way? The reverse is also true what good is a subject, a mind, without any thing such as an object to have or to use? One without the other is simply nonsense. This is the basis of the dualistic situation we find ourselves in.

E=mc2 Einstein’s famous equation can explain the subjective but what we really need is C=E=mc2, where C is consciousness and could be expressed as conscious energy. From his subjective position Einstein left himself out of the objective universe and I want to put us back in in a meaningful way. What’s the point of relativity if we leave all the relatives out? Afterall what was the surprising result of the famous double slit expirament? Why does it matter if a particle or wave is being observed or not? Very simply put our consciousness or awareness of a wave function causes the collapse of the wave front and the superposition of all the possibilities converge into one outcome before our very eyes.

Consciousness is fundamental nothing happens with out it, so to ask the age-old question, if a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear is, does it make a sound?

C=E=mc2 is the sound it makes, because without the ears it’s just a vibration. Without an ear drum to receive the vibrations and translate them into sound, there can be no sound, only vibration expressing itself as a waveform of possibilities.

So one of my favorite sources of quantum woo is the famous physicist Erwin Schrödinger towards the end of his life he wrote several books. Had he written these books in the beginning of his career he likely wouldn’t have had one, he would have been written off as a quantum quack. Nevertheless he is still respected today so I’ll give the floor now to him.

“The reason why our sentient, percipient and thinking ego is met nowhere within our scientific world picture can easily be indicated in seven words: because it is itself that world picture.”

“Quantum mechanics is still in its infancy, but when it grows up it will enable us to understand phenomena in biology.”

These quotes highlight Schrödinger’s belief in the potential of quantum mechanics to shed light on biological phenomena or our existance as a whole, although they don’t specifically address consciousness they simply cannot be explained any other way.

Ps. Now if the tree falls in our dreams does it really fall?
