possibly a new step in human understanding of reality

this stuff is all very interesting still have to read through it, but this video might add to the discussion http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/13363568 i found the part that says only 20% of our reality is formed by the external world really interesting

im gona also just say from my limited understanding of quantum mechanics that, isnt it true that particles theoretically exist at every possible moment in time and space at every possible moment, and our bodies and mind are at their base level just particles, why should our mind be immune to the theories of quantum physics. and conciousness is really only a function of our mind and its chemical reactions, so isnt it logical to assume that our conciousness and time itself follows these principles?

in a word: no. my computer definitely exists right here (though maybe i have no knowledge of its momentum....) right now, absolutely nowhere else. my computer is made of particles so constitutes a counterexample....

every single one of my posts in this thread repeats the points that collections of particles interact with one another, i.e. 'measure' one another, thus washing out the coherences. please consult Wikipedia- decoherence. just read the intro the important bit is the word 'non-unitary' which in the context of this thread means 'doesn't do the thing required for this thread to make any sense whatsoever.'

i really wish people would do the logical thing and take the time to educate themselves even at a basic level about this beautiful theory, the basics are fun to learn and will enable coherent and fruitful discussions. then the reason why it is not logical to assume consciousness and time follow quantum principles would be very clear.

being, i have noticed you ignored my request for help in working out what specifically i'm misunderstanding, i would genuinely like to know but i'm assuming this means you don't have anything substantial to say.
