Alot of QM questions end up discussing consciousness but has anyone ever actually asked what consciousness is from a biological viewpoint. Is there just the auto assumption that its a magical thing that has an affect? From a medical science point of view consciousness isn't a thing other than...

Whats up with that quantum tantra link, by far the wierdest stuff I've read on the net since alien invasion conspiracies. http://quantumtantra.com/interview.html Is this a reliable link? The name itself (referncing hindu magical texts) is as much a joke as the contents on telepathy.

Sorry, you are right, ignore my last post.

Oh, I get the point, it is basically like the recycling of matter. When I die I will return to the Earth and my matter will, over time, of course, reform into new life and objects. The matter that makes me has always been there, sure, but I didn't exist until I existed. In terms of QM, how does...

Basically, you are saying that you can't use the ordinary line of logical thinking to explain QM it requires a different form of insight. That makes sense. On a side note, 'Parmenides was saying that if something exists now, then it must have always existed, and it could not cease to exist...

Thats not what I am trying to imply, I am just saying that some of the explanations given and the discussions had on these topics are so purposely convoluted that after I've spent 15 minutes trying to understand them I realize they can be explained in simpler terms.

So I read about this Zeno effect, I fail to see what the quote has anything todo with the concept. Im still failing to see the point. You've taken some quote by some guy born in 501 BC and assumed it sheds light on aspects of QM because it seems to allign with a concept on the subject. It...

How did we go from trying to understand entanglement to overly convoluted responses that are talking about God knows what and quoting God knows who?

Im actually going to get it, thanks for the suggestion. I geuss understanding this stuff will help with how we percieve, interact and commincate with people. Again thanks for the concise responses on a sensitive topic and I think you have answered my questions. If you like close this thread...

That makes perfect sense! Sorry for posting such a sensitive thread, I was scrolling through Facebook, as one would do, and came a cross a post based on mysticism. The contents of the post (unnecessary to know at this point) just had me asking, why is it that people are so eager to delve into...

What is it in the human brain that causes a person to believe completely something that is fictional such as astral projection or that theyve talked to God so to speak. How can said person believe fully that they have experienced such a thing whilst knowing it is impossible. Basically I am...

Im relieved thanks heaps!

So basically the observer that's causing the expectation or 'selection process' is sonething random. This doesn't require a consciousness observer. But how do you explain the lack of artefacts from previous random manifestations?

So this an interpretation you have developed? What is it that makes an expectation? How is there an expectation in the absence of life? Sounds like natural selection for QM?

This whole consciousness story is super annoying. To put it to a close in my mind, consciousness does not play a role in QM and although some scientists may have believed so in the past out of misunderstanding It can no longer hold in today's understanding of QM, right? I want to confirm this...
