Whenever I talk about quantum physics in this column, I usually get the same reaction from some readers saying, “It is heavy stuff,” meaning “hard to understand.” No matter how
I have written around a dozen articles about quantum physics (also called quantum mechanics), for its bizarre or nonlogical world has always fascinated and intrigued me. But I am no
What makes quantum physics so fascinating and interesting for me is that it somehow explains in scientific terms how and why certain psychic and paranormal phenomena happen, and how consciousness or awareness affects physical reality.
Peeping into the world of sub-atomic particles of matter is like Alice going into Wonderland, where everything is not what it’s supposed to be, where the bizarre becomes ordinary, and the ordinary bizarre!
In my 1999 book, “When the Impossible Happens: Confessions of a Reluctant Psychic,” in which I revealed, for the first time, the many strange paranormal and psychic experiences I have undergone, I wrote in the epilogue that “we need to develop a new science that will take into consideration the strange occurrence of phenomena that could not be explained by conventional science.”
What in quantum physics makes its discoveries so shocking? Let me summarize this from the book of Amit Goswami, Ph.D, “The Self-Aware Universe.”
Until I was furnished copies of their correspondence, I didn’t know that a debate, or more precisely, an intellectual discussion, has been going on between American theoretical physicist Dr. George Weissman of the University of California Berkeley and Dr. Jacqueline Romero, a Filipino physicist, at the University of Glasgow in the United Kingdom.
My attention was called to a Letter to the Editor (Inquirer, July 14) written by Dr. Mary Jacquiline T. Romero of the School of Physics and Astronomy of the University of Glasgow, United Kingdom. In that letter, Romero stated that my article about quantum physics, Eastern mysticism and ESP was “terribly misleading.”
There are certain natural phenomena that can be observed but cannot be explained by current or commonly accepted scientific laws.
Here’s a look at the achievements being honored by this year’s Nobel Prizes, the $1.2 million awards handed out since 1901 by committees in Stockholm and Oslo:
