I was trying to make the point that if you are facing a scientific or technological dictatorship, it might be interesting to take a look at science and technology, and see if there is anything beneficial that you could learn from it, that may help you defend against it. Especially, in the context of free will and religion.
I am not suggesting you run out and try to astral project yourself into a 4th dimension, or make any adjustments to your belief system.
I don’t really understand it all myself. It was just an interesting direction to take, and maybe the next step, when trying to understand where we are heading as a society. It is just my opinion that religion and science do coexist, and can also provide mutual validation of eachother.
“Do not try and bend the spoon. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth. There is no spoon. Then you'll see, that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself.”
Combining Kabbalah, quantum metaphysics and philosophy allows us to understand why the Biblical creation account juxtaposes the creation of the universe and the creation of modern-type humanity, making it seem as though the universe is only as old as recorded history. Physics deals with the material, and its account of emergence is bound by this, however quantum metaphysics ascribes more importance to the mental realm in determining reality, and of course religion ascribes more importance to the spiritual realm. The combination of quantum metaphysics and kabbalah presented here considers moral choice as the fundamental factor in our reality. Accordingly the universe and humanity emerge into existence only due to the emergence of free will, and only at the nexus of this emergence. We have seen that according to quantum (meta)physics, reality is established via the observation of a (free-willed) consciousness. In addition, according to Jewish thought free-willed choice gives the universe meaning and is thus the “motivation” for the very existence of the universe. Just as according to quantum physics (or metaphysics) nature has delegated to humans the ability to determine the nature of physical reality within the limitations of natural law, similarly God, the Creator of nature, delegated to man alone the ability to determine the nature of spiritual reality, which then influences the physical. Of the two levels, the physical is merely the means to the spiritual end. Thus the determination by man of spiritual reality is even more fundamental than is his determination of physical reality. So, too, it is man’s spiritual qualities (free-willed consciousness) which are more fundamental than these physical qualities. It is up to man to use his own limited sense of right and wrong, guided by moral and religious criteria, to determine reality. This is the way to achieve one’s purpose - and it is this purpose which also gives meaning to the universe. Since it is man’s consciousness and free will which invest his choices with the possibility of meaning, it is therefore only free-willed consciousness which has the possibility of conducting reality-determining observation and measurement. Nature by itself is powerless to achieve self-realization; man is required to bring both himself and the universe into reality. Thus nature cannot determine reality, God does not decide reality; it is man’s prerogative and sole responsibility. Man, alive and physical and yet spiritual as well, albeit limited and fallible - or perhaps because he is limited and fallible - is uniquely qualified, by virtue of his possessing a free-willed consciousness, to determine the nature of physical and spiritual reality.
…if a distant star were to suddenly blow up tomorrow, the principle of locality says that there is no way we could know about this event or be affected by it until something, e.g. a light beam, had time to travel from that star to Earth. Aside from being intuitive, locality seems to be necessary for relativity theory, which predicts that no signal can propagate faster than the speed of light. In 1935, several years after quantum mechanics had been developed, Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen published a paper which showed that under certain circumstances quantum mechanics predicted a breakdown of locality. Specifically they showed that according to the theory I could put a particle in a measuring device at one location and, simply by doing that, instantly influence another particle arbitrarily far away. They refused to believe that this effect, which Einstein later called "spooky action at a distance,"1 could really happen, and thus viewed it as evidence that quantum mechanics was incomplete.
Almost thirty years later J.S. Bell proved that the results predicted by quantum mechanics could not be explained by any theory which preserved locality. In other words, if you set up an experiment like that described by Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen, and you get the results predicted by quantum mechanics, then there is no way that locality could be true. Years later the experiments were done, and the predictions of quantum mechanics proved to be accurate. In short, locality is dead.
Numerical treatment The most successful numerical approach to quantum field theory begins with a formulation of quantum mechanics developed by Feynman in which a quantum amplitude is described as a weighted integral over all possible paths (not necessarily obeying the classical equations) which start at the system's initial state and end at the final state. For single particle quantum mechanics the quantum amplitude <qf(tf)| qi(ti)> for a transition from position qi at time ti to position qf at time tf is written as: <qf(tf)| qi(ti)> = ?dq[t]eiA[q] where A[q(t)] is the classical action for the path q(t) given by A = ?titf {½ m q'2 - V(q(t))}dt This is a sophisticated Wiener integration over function space and is typically an awkward formalism for analytic calculation. However, it is nicely suited for numerical work since it replaces the normal operator/Hilbert space formalism of quantum mechanics with an explicit integral.
