But psychologists do make use of neuroscience, and quantum consciousness will be an aspect of this discipline. My opinion is that most processes we kn...

I think it might make sense to view "soul" as the total psychological phenomenon, including physical correlates that exist beyond the body, which I ex...
May 05, 2021 at 20:12
Those theories make sense to me. As the article says, "the absolute square of the wave function is interpreted as an actual matter density". I'd be in...

To those who might know, does the following interpretation of Schrodinger's wave function have any validity: predicted proportion of behavior within a...
May 04, 2021 at 09:48
So when you say the probabilities that QM predicts, do you mean via the Schrodinger wave function and/or matrix mechanics? My interest is piqued by th...

I think the electromagnetic field might suffice to make a trillion trillion atoms in neurons of the brain (or whatever the amount is) simultaneously r...

Good response, I care in a sense also, but the afterlife in particular, not so much of a subscriber. Maybe I'll actually wake up! lol

Who cares what happens after we die? Makes no difference to us!

Since the board is on a bad physics kick, there are two things I currently most want to know that I can't figure out: q-space assigns three separate d...

My intuition is that quantum stuff consists of coherence between entangled waves and particles, in essence coherence fields with nonlocal properties. ...

No one wanted a revolution in atomic theory? What a surprise!
April 29, 2021 at 00:45
So much more exists in the brain than neuron synapsing. The analogy to a computer's electrical wiring is hugely inadequate. Investigating chemistry in...
April 27, 2021 at 18:44
First, it is unlikely that there are exactly two types of stuff, particles and waves, absolutely differentiated. The reality must undoubtedly be so mu...
April 27, 2021 at 11:06
What about sending a signal into the past or future rather than a macroscopic object? This seems more possible, less impeded by classical physics, if ...
April 26, 2021 at 22:36
From the article you linked to: “If mvd (mass*velocity*distance) is much greater than h, then the system probably can be treated classically. Accordin...

I'm not sure how far along research is at this point, but the organic mind itself in my estimation is probably superpositions of entanglement systems ...

I don't personally subscribe to panpsychism, though it makes a nice controversial conversation prompt. I'm more of a panprotopsychist: the elements wh...
April 25, 2021 at 04:44
The panpsychist concept can be explained as variables of nonlocal causality that synchronize wavicles instantaneously over relatively large distances ...
April 25, 2021 at 03:50
I incline to think you can only get so far with outlining real mechanisms by merely processing the math because the quantitative model in large measur...
April 23, 2021 at 05:36
Well the question then is how did these two types of stuff get differentiated if they interact? To explain that you have to presume the two types of s...
April 22, 2021 at 14:56
Pilot wave theory does match that interpretation of the double-slit experiment and also manages to account for the mathematical parameters of nonlocal...
April 22, 2021 at 01:24
I address this in the OP, might as well quote it for clarification purposes. A single wavicle experiment has never been performed nonelectronically.

Exactly why I said, "I also consider solving the hard problem to be relatively typical as scientific progress, not anything constrained to the purview...
April 10, 2021 at 21:05
I think consciousness is considered a difficult problem in philosophy because for hundreds of years it has proven impossible to explain how chemistry ...
April 10, 2021 at 19:33
I can give you a reference that a poster at this forum pointed me towards, written by a very well-respected science author, Johnjoe McFadden: https://...

The idea is that all qualia are various kinds of superposition amongst large collections of waves or wavicles, and the range of possibilities is vast....
April 10, 2021 at 14:12
The Orch-Or theory of Penrose and Hameroff as I grasp it seems to propose the qualitative as a cycle of coherence states occurring in microtubules, co...

Since standing electromagnetic wave signatures as measured by EEG are so closely tied to states of awareness, and these states correlated with biochem...

I mean electromagnetic field. To my knowledge, nonlocality has been scientifically modeled to a minimal extent. What comes to my mind is causal connec...

How are you so sure that an electromagnetic field generated in the double-slit chamber by the electronic emission device wouldn't affect electromagnet...

Big crunch or big freeze...oh well, it was a world while it lasted.

Your mission if you choose to accept it: explain skipping a stone to me as temporary excitations of the permanent underlying quantum fields.
April 08, 2021 at 20:47
I would say that light isn't either a particle or a wave, but a wavicle which adopts the form of a true wave when traveling through many mediums and i...

The idea is that electric charge permeates the entire double-slit chamber when all slits are open, but only for fractions of a second, due to activati...

Is this an attempt to diss me or something? If so, enjoy yourself thoroughly!

More like a Nobel goosing, sheesh.

If this is how you initiate, I've got to wonder what your ulterior motives are. Way more dissing than is warranted by the circumstances. I'm only begi...
