Quantum Physics may seem complicated to understand. It is. The reason is not because of the math or science involved (even though that could be hard to grasp), it’s because of the unbelievable philosophical implications that arise out of understanding it. Niels Bohr, a renowned physicist and author of Copenhagen Interpretation of Quantum [...]

Nobody is capable of producing 100% error—nobody is smart enough to be wrong all the time (Wilber, 1999).
IN KEN WILBER’S THE EYE OF SPIRIT (1998), prefacing his criticism of Jenny Wade’s (1996) appropriation of physicist David Bohm’s “implicate order”-related ideas for her “holonomic” theory of consciousness, we find the following assertion:
Bohm himself tended to [...]

It’s often said that Quantum Electrodynamics is the most accurate theory we have in physics. This is based on a few things, first it agrees with a large number of experiments with good precision. It also reduces to standard classical electromagnetism in the classical limit, and classical E&M [...]

Quantum entanglement is a physical resource, like energy, associated with the peculiar nonclassical correlations that are possible between separated quantum systems. Entanglement can be measured, transformed, and purified. A pair of quantum systems in an entangled state can be used as a quantum information channel to perform computational and cryptographic tasks [...]
Quantum entanglement is a quantum mechanical phenomenon in which the quantum states of two or more objects are linked together so that one object can no longer be adequately described without full mention of its counterpart — even though the individual objects may be spatially separated. This interconnection leads to correlations between observable physical properties [...]

This lecture is about whether we can predict the future, or whether it is arbitrary and random. In ancient times, the world must have seemed pretty arbitrary. Disasters such as floods or diseases must have seemed to happen without warning, or apparent reason. Primitive people attributed such natural phenomena, to a [...]
