Physics and Metaphysics



 "Modern physics is describing what the ancient wisdom keepers have long known.
These shamans say that we’re dreaming the world into being,
through the very act of witnessing it.
Scientists believe that we’re only able to do this in the very small subatomic world.
Shamans understand that we also dream the larger world,
that we experience with our senses."

~ Alberto Villoldo ~

 

Physics and Metaphysics

 

The words physics and metaphysics derive from the Greek words (physiká), meaning "physical" and  (metá),  which means "beyond". In general use, the word physics has come to mean the study of the physical world and metaphysics the study of the non-physical or spiritual world.  Yet, "meta" means “beyond” so it more properly could mean.... that which is beyond physics or that which is currently beyond understanding of physics. But as the study of astrophysics  and quantum physics has demonstrated, the more that we learn the more we realize that we do not know and in turn, how little we really do understand.  

In its common usage, “metaphysics”  has become a label for any belief in other realms or realities and in one way or another, is commonly associated with forms of religion and spirituality. The result being that the common impression is put forward that such subjects as astrology or psychic phenomena, for example, are “beyond” the laws of physics and science in general. The tragic result has been that not only the public, but students of these subjects have been exposed to spiritual and religious charlatans who claim divinely inspired knowledge which their students or followers may gain only through a non-questioning adherence to their pronouncements.

 

 



"I read a book called 'The Tao of Physics' by Fritjof Capra that pointed out
the parallels between quantum physics and eastern mysticism.
I started to feel there was more to reality than conventional science allowed for
and some interesting ideas that it hadn't got round to investigating,
such as altered states of consciousness."

Brian Josephson



As scientific theories have advanced they have not proven to be in opposition to what are seen as  “supernatural”  phenomena, but more often than not science has verified the phenomena empirically through repeatable scientific experiments such as the "double-slit experiment".
Einstein’s theory of relativity does not negate the theory of astrological influence and quantum mechanic does not negate the theory of psychic phenomena, instead they do just the opposite.  Modern scientific theories actually open new avenues to explore in attempting to unify what are labeled as the natural and the supernatural realms.

Both metaphysics and quantum mechanics are looking for the "nature of reality”, one starting from the inner spiritual realm, the other from the outer physical realm and physicists are often very open to the concept of unifying the two realms, as Fritjof Capra explains in his book  “The Tao of Physics”.  

 

 

 

Scientific laws and scientific theories are different things. A scientific theory differs from a scientific law in that a theory attempts to explain "why" or "how" something occurs, whereas a law is a statement (often a mathematical equation) about an observable relationship between observable facts. Theories are a synthesis of ideas that tries to intepret and explain the observable facts. For example, "Newton’s Law of Gravity" is a mathematical equation that can be used to predict the attraction between bodies, but it is not a theory to explain how gravity works.  

  



  

Albert Einstein’s Theory of Relativity

The theory of relativity usually encompasses two interrelated theories by Albert Einstein: special relativity and general relativity. Special relativity applies to all physical phenomena in the absence of gravity. General relativity explains the law of gravitation and its relation to other forces of nature. It applies to the cosmological and astrophysical realm, including astronomy.

"Experiments That Could Prove Einstein Wrong" 

 

Quantum Physics .
Quantum physics is the study of the behavior of matter and energy at the molecular, atomic, nuclear, and even smaller microscopic levels. In the early 20th century, scientists discovered that the laws governing macroscopic objects do not function the same in such small realms. Things can be at more than one place at the same time, observation changes the observed object and nothing can be predicted with certainty.
.
. 

Quantum Mechanics (Simplified)

 .Your consciousness affects the behavior of subatomic particles.

Particles move backwards as well as forwards in time,
and appear in all possible places at once.
The universe splits into parallel universes in which all possible events may occur.

 

 

 

 

Quantum Mechanics (Even More Simplified) 

 Question: "Is an electron a wave or a particle?"
Answer: "Yes"
 Question: "Is the electron here or is it there?"
 Answer: "Yes"

 Question: "Which came first; the chicken or the egg?"
 Answer: "Yes"

 

 

 

 

 Is Time Real?

 

If you think Quantum Physics is crazy now, it gets even crazier when they throw in the theory of "retrocausality".  In simplest terms,retrocausality is the idea that the present can affect the past and the future can affect the present. Retrocausality is based upon the foundational perception that everything in the universe is governed by time. Therefore quantum physicists looked to 'time' as the only conceivable  means by which alteration of events may come about. They began to focus on the possibility of time not only flowing forwards, but backwards. They consider, if the possibility of quantum particles acting this way  means we can still manipulate them, then surely it is only logical that  time moves backwards to facilitate that potentiality.Ultimately scientists see it is the potential to alter cause and effect by virtue of time flowing backwards as well as forwards. This would be done by manipulating information in the present that would change the past, even including the manipulation of possibility in the future that would change the present.

When you set your alarm clock or post a future appointment in your calendar are you not, in a mundane sense, effecting the present by establishing a cause in the future? It is so insanely logical that you cannot help being made to feel like you ae going crazy yourself because of this quantum theory that time does not really travel in a straight line and that watching the clock may be a pointless effort, because we really do not know what time is.

Confused?

So Are The Physicists!





 

  
Einstein's theory of general relativity, (how everything bigger than an atom works), and the theory of quantum mechanics, (how everything smaller than an atom works), are two widely accepted and verified theories of physics. However, there's only one problem. They contradict each other!  

The theory of general relativity deals with physics on the macro scale of massive gravitational fields warping the space-time continuum. Quantum mechanics deals with the physics of sub-atomic particles and the interactions of matter and energy on extremely small scales.

The crux of the problem is that general relativity describes a smooth continuum of space-time, but quantum physics describes distortions of space-time. Thus, these two well tested theories mutually exclude one another.



To resolve this contradiction a new and as yet experimentally untested unifying theory called "String Theory" has been advanced. String theory attempts to unify the theories of general relativity and quantum mechanics by suggesting that the fundamental constituents of reality are small strings, vibrating at different frequencies and like vibrating violin strings producing notes, these vibrating stings produce particles such as electrons and photons, which do not exist at any one given fixed point and that split and absorb one another forming different particles. Which is similar to the idea, in Taoist thought of  Qi (or Chi) energy. 

At its inception string theory was the hottest thing in physics. Arising from the notion that matter and energy are fundamentally composed of tiny, vibrating strings rather than point like particles, this theory attempted to unify all the known forces into a single, elegant package. Some physicists hailed string theory as the long-sought "theory of everything",(unified field theory). 





But, this ambitious idea  has suffered a remarkable setback. Many physicists now see string theory as a theoretical cul-de-sac that may not lead anywhere. Recent calculations have produced a surprising prediction from string theory: that there may be an almost infinite number of different universes, some of which would be like our own, and others that would be very different. A theory that proposes parallel universes and 10-dimensional space has proved too much to produve a simple explanation, no matter how aesthetically pleasing that idea may be. String theory still has to satisfy the requirement that it is convergent with the older, proven theories in the areas in which the old theories were tested. 

And to make things even more confusing!

 

An increasingly popular idea regarding String Theory is the “possibility” that the Universe we think we observe is merely an illusion, based on the theory of the Holographic Principle.
 

Professor Stephen Hawking’s final theory on the origin of the universe, which he worked on in collaboration with Professor Thomas Hertog , was submitted for publication before Professor Hawking’s death and based on the mathematics of string theory it predicts the universe is finite and far simpler than many current theories about the big bang say.

 

The theory that Hawking and Hertog put forward uses the  the string theory concept of holography, which postulates that the universe is a large and complex hologram. Theoretically, physical reality in certain 3 dimensional spaces can be mathematically reduced to 2 dimensional projections on a surface. Which is basically saying that the Universe exists on a 2 dimensional plane and at the angle at which we view it appears to be 3 dimensional. Depending where theoretical physicists take this idea it could refine the multiverse theory  (M-Theory) and bridge the gap between classical and quantum physics.

 

M-theory is a theory in physics that unifies all consistent versions of superstring theory. 

Although a complete formulation of M-theory is not known, such a formulation should describe two- and five-dimensional objects called branes. Modern attempts to formulate M-theory are typically based on the matrix theory. 

 

One of he most promising new quantum theories of the atomic nucleus, and the particles that make it up, is called quantum chromodynamics (QCD)  QCD is an attempt to develop a universal theory that can go beyond the limitations of current string theory by viewing the structure of the atom from a different perspective. With QED in play physicists may be able to have a better look at the nucleus of the atom... "TO BE CONTINUED"
