Glad you’re not one of the angry ones. Can’t have a civil discussion with fanatics at either end of the scale. Beliefs and disbeliefs are what they are and you are fully entitled to yours as I trust you agree we are all entitled to ours. Oh, and invisible critters in the sky ... floating around on clouds I take it? Can’t say I believe in that sort of thing either or really know anyone who does.
Excellent thread! Thanks!
Actually sent this post to my daughters along with some of the cat pictures to make them pay attention!
So, what consciousness or “God” collapsed all the original particles making up the matter in the Universe created out of the so-called “Big Bang”? You would expect, therefore, most, if not all, quantum physicists to be ultra-religious - yet most are atheists. Seems somewhat hypocritical to me, unless, of course, there is a better classical explanation than the Copenhagen Interpretation.
TYou were “in Quantum Mechanics class in grad school...” Is that a fact?
Dr. Mills is, perhaps, the most brilliant scientist in the world today and he will soon be universally recognized as such with the unveiling of his SunCell technology. The discovery of lower energy states of hydrogen, i.e., below the ground state, as a new limitless source of clean energy is truly the greatest invention in the history of mankind, worthy of several Nobel Prizes.
I don’t know if I agree with it, but here’s a thought ...
“In the beginning there were only probabilities. The universe could only come into existence if someone observed it. It does not matter that the observers turned up several billion years later. The universe exists because we are aware of it.”
Martin Rees, British cosmologist and astrophysicist as well as Astronomer Royal of the Royal Observatory.
