Buket Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I read that our minds are projections from one single Mind according to quantum fieid theory. What do u think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strange Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Quantum field theory says nothing about our minds. Have you been reading some idiot like Deepak Chopra or Michio Kaku? Are you interested in science? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phi for All Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Can you link to what you read? It sounds like popular science that was taken out of context, then misinterpreted, and finally misquoted for good measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buket Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 It is the claim of Fred Alan Wolf and also a physicist called Ludvic Bass in his article 'The Mind of Wigner's Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewcellini Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 (edited) I read that our minds are projections from one single Mind according to quantum fieid theory. What do u think? I think that one mind is mine Edit: also if anyone's interested, here's a copy of the paper the OP is talking about. http://www.fredalanwolf.com/myarticles/Bass_1.pdf Edited June 30, 2016 by andrewcellini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buket Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 Does this claim have a scientific background? What do u think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strange Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Does this claim have a scientific background? What do u think? No. In the past some philosophers (wrongly) thought of the mind as acting like clockwork (because that was the technology of the time). Then some started to draw analogies with computers. And now some try and talk in terms of quantum physics. It has nothing to do with science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phi for All Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I don't think the Bass paper is talking about shared consciousness, or a single mind, when he talks about the plurality of the conscious mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buket Posted July 3, 2016 Author Share Posted July 3, 2016 So Fred Alan Wolf misunderstood Bass's theory. Thank you.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buket Posted July 5, 2016 Author Share Posted July 5, 2016 Why does a scientist ( fred alan wolf) claim such things like one single mind? Are they charlatans? Do they really believe in such things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phi for All Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I usually find popular science stops short of making assertive claims, preferring to speculate without a firm basis about imaginative possibilities that many find intriguing enough that profit is generated for the work. It's more wishful thinking than science in many cases, but it sells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buket Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 Is there anyone who believe in the claim that there is one single mind and ours are projections from it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phi for All Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Is there anyone who believe in the claim that there is one single mind and ours are projections from it? When anyone can believe a claim, isn't it more important to look for reality-based evidence to support or refute the claim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imatfaal Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 When anyone can believe a claim, isn't it more important to look for reality-based evidence to support or refute the claim? The strong version of that claim would necessarily preclude any empiricism - there are no glitches in the matrix. The fact that the worldstate described by the claim is utterly indistinguishable from our own tends to make me think it isn't worth worrying about. A weaker version - in which we can occasionally glimpse behind the curtain and see the matrix is more interesting but would need a decent piece of experiemental evidence before it was worth investing time in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buket Posted July 13, 2016 Author Share Posted July 13, 2016 Did you read the article 'the mind of wigner's friend' by Ludvic Bass about single mind which is said to prove this claim ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buket Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 Can any of you help me understand this article? It ıs full of math equations..http://www.fredalanwolf.com/myarticles/Bass_1.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajb Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 It looks like some simple aspects of quantum mechanics - wikipedia maybe all you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buket Posted July 22, 2016 Author Share Posted July 22, 2016 Here is an idea.. Our brains are unique but like colors they are in the same category(the Mind). Can this be an explanation for this claim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
