The quantum entanglement state that Einstein initially called “spooky action at a distance,” has been scientifically confirmed by the Atomic Optics Group by Professor Alain Aspect at the Charles Fabry Laboratory, Institut d'Optique, Paris(1). In other words, faster than the speed of light, it is now possible to connect or entangle two quantum particles, photons of light or atoms, in a particular way that effectively makes them two parts of the same entity. You can then separate them as much as you like, and a change in one is instantly reflected in the other.(2) A unified theory of the physical world, or that vast undivided totality of cosmological activity at the subatomic level, suggests processes in which the electrons of a carbon atom in the human brain are connected to the subatomic particles that make up every salmon that swims, every heart that beats, and every star that twinkles in the sky.(3) Moreover, consciousness is considered part of this continuum, a wave function of potential physical situations, connected not only to every other mind that exists or has existed, but to every atom, organism and region in the vastness of space and time itself.(4) Dr. Karl Pribram and physicist David Bohm agree that the universe is alive and conscious at all levels, where relationships between the encompassing structures of information and matter intertwine and penetrate each other throughout space, like a giant hologram. (5) However, quantum theory cannot account for all phenomena encountered in nature, because there is no deeper level of reality in which all effects have specific causes. This "uncertainty relationship" between the position and momentum (mass times velocity) of a subatomic particle, such as an element...... middle of paper ... higher-dimensional common ground , where mind and body are one."(12)Even many complexes folded together are subject to the law of diminishing completeness, where the past, present, and future all exist simultaneously, because matter can neither be created nor destroyed That is, interconnected information, like a transparent web, can never be completely lost in the cosmic storehouse of “all that is.” Stephen Hawking builds on this idea, theorizing that. “the black hole only seems to form, but then opens and releases information about what fell into it”. We can be sure of the past and predict the future”(13) Indeed, the creative development of technologies. Quantum technology brings us closer to knowing the physical basis of conscious thought, thus extending Pribram's optimism that science be admitted to the spiritual aspects of humanity.(14)
