  1. Trouble with physics: The roots of reality What makes us so sure that mathematics can reveal nature's deepest workings, asks cosmologist Brian Greene. find out in this copyrighted article I plagiarized.
  2. Please take a very close look at these two particular images from New Scientist magazine: And please see these as well: Could the Forum Moderater please remove the duplicate images which i have accidentally attached to my post. And please also reverse their order as well as that was meant to be the correct order but i got that wrong also.
  3. I can think of FAR more than just SIX dimensions. Here is a short list of what I have been painstakingly and laboriously constructing myself: 1. The Universe as we can observe it. 2. The Universe or Universes or Multiverses as we cannot observe them. Within our our Universe itself exist several types or layers of dimensions: 1. Space. 2. Time. 3. Matter. 4. Energy. 5. Spacetime. 6. Gravity. Then there are the species types and layers and their own particular dimensions: 1. The Humans. 2. The Animals. 3. The Aliens (if there are any). 4. The Gods (they are definitely there). Within each of these are four dimensions or types or layers to each: 1. Body. 2. Brain. 3. Mind. 4. Soul. I hope that is enough. I must say that I am baring scratching the surface in this post here. I will definitely get into more details when further queries are brought up which they undoubtebly will. I am just going to have my dinner and watch some TV and then I will be right back. See ya soon.
  4. Please see this image. There is a serious error in your spelling.
  5. Cosmologist Brian Greene states and then explains in the March 2013 issue of New Scientist magazine that "What makes us so sure that mathematics can provide answers to some of the deepest workings of nature." East (Classical Buddhism) meets West (Quantum Physics) in the following three books: 1. The Mind and the Brain (Schwartz, Jeffrey M.; Begley, Sharon) 2. The Brain That Changes Itself: Stories of Personal Triumph from the Frontiers of Brain Science (Doidge, Norman) 3. The Plastic Mind (Begley, Sharon) Hitachi research labs: Ibid., p. 7. "God does not play dice": Einstein's exact words, in a letter to Cornel Lanczos on March 21, 1942, But that he would choose to play dice with the world...is something I cannot be- lieve for a single mo- ment." 1. John Bell 2. Stapp, H. 3. Everett. H., Iii. 4. Pagels, H. 5. Wigner 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 100. 1000. If the atoms never swerve so as to originate some new movement that will snap the bonds of fate, the everlasting sequence of cause and effect-what is the source of the free will possessed by living things throughout the earth? -Lucretius, On the Nature of the Universe, Book 2 French philosopher Rene Descartes (1596-1650) res cogitans res ex-tensa "Restraint everywhere" Dhammapa, Verse 361.
  6. So sorry since I tend to get ahead of myself very often these days and whenever I open my mouth these days people at my home or outside of my home almost immediately go running in the opposite direction (!!) because they can't bear the "gibberish" because it just FLYS over their heads including those of the two leading psychiatrists I have known for the last 16 years not to mention countless other people I can't even begin to count because I LOVE this stuff because it is SO useful and so passionate at the same time. Thank you for correcting the spelling mistakes. Since I mostly tap on my iPad or on my iPhone I usually try to avoid but do sometimes end up making mistakes so now I am re-reading whatever I type and editing it and double checking it before hitting the Post button.
  7. I have absorbed a lot of information over the yearss. Everything is falling into place like a grand covergent sorry convergent jigsaw puzzle. More peopple need more and more accurate and unbiased and factual and useful information. To have count- tered with evasion without reading ahead first is a grave mistake for many people I personally know of. You have to have had both the knowledge and the experience as I admit to had having over the years. They say that when the Student is ready his Teacher arrives. I must admit that I made a grave mistake when I said Permanence when I actually meant Impermanence. Please forgive me for the several typos. Dear Fellows I can easily see that someone (probably the admin) is removing my Wikipedia's copied and pasted texts from the forum and I highly appreciate and am eternally grateful for having being corrected for once in my life to him. Not many people I have known in 43 years of my life has caught me off guard or red handed like this. Not even the thousand dollar per session leading celebrity Harvard Medical School trained Indian psychiatrist Dr. Sanjay Chugh who I have been seeing for the last 16 years of my life but have stopped seeing now for the last 4 years. Because he is what is typically called a "materialistic reductionist." GOOGLE THAT TERM!
  8. First, I would like to entirely agree with you on that old or new fashioned Classical Physics cannot explain all the four dimensions we live in (space, time, matter, and energy) because it is sorely has and is and has always been and will probably forever remain lacking both on the macro and on the micro scale and that is how and why and when and where Quantum Physics and sub atomic particles and dark matter and black holes and all of that hardcore technical stuff which is very complicated comes into the proving ground. Schrodinger wave equation. Heisenberg uncertainity priniciple. Just name it. Its all there. Large Hadron Collider? Advanced Ligo System? I would like to simply say for the record in this forum now before proceeding that all of this stuff is not only very commonplace already for the past two or four years but so widespread that it bears repeating an infinite number of times and in three particular four hundred page books that are lying on my bedside table for the last few years which I continue to read and absorb and apply to change my personal life. For what good is any theory when it has no practical usefulness or applicability? And this is not the case here with me. Nor is it with several others. Many stories have been told in several books by internationally renowned psychiatrists who are at the cutting edge of Brain Research. Now, the details which you speak of that need to be worked on have been so extensively documented, researched, and proven worldwide already over the last several years that I would have to type out a four hundred page landmark book and two particular others in order to "explain" myself completely. Imagine typing out twelve hundred pages from three different books on an iPad or or an iPhone. And violating copyright restrictions and so reframing my words to avoid that from happenning. Then, whether we like it or not as Dr. JMS puts it in 2009 or in 2011 in his landmark book that "The day has come when we can no longer argue or be excused for arguing in this day and age of Quantum Physics about whether the Mind came first or the Brain came first and that the arrow of causal efficacy seems to be pointing in both directions and that in order to dispel this notion of the given duality of the mind and the brain we must first accept the fact that Quantum Physics holds extremely solid ground here. Because it provides to me the physics underpinning my theory of Mental Force which was first brought up by William James in the 1800's." Because in Quantum Physics it is Mind alone that can change the Brain (mindset). It has been called "Neuroplasticity". He goes on to say and prove that The Power of Mental Force is so great that it has enabled people from all over the world to completely recover from all kinds of mental or physical diseases or conditions just by using their will power and without so much as touching a single medication. He first proved that way back in his first published in 1996 landmark book. Enough PET and fMRI tests and scans across the world have duplicated his findings much later. As Dr. JMS puts it "The will, I was starting to believe, generates a force. Directed mental (fields of) force through application of rigorous and consistent will power are known to bring about lasting and permanent changes in the wires and pathways of the brain and even of the body. The cause is the Mind. The effect is on the Brain.The resulting term is called Neuroplasticity. The brain is truly the child of the mind. The mind truly can change the brain. No matter what your age is. And actually always does so. Because we are what we think and what we do." And yet they are continuing to push the envelope as far as they possibly can. This "guy" is no less an eminence than the Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at the UCLA School of Medicine. As for me, I personally and constantly hope to become someone someday. Pushing myself very hard always. Never looking for the easy way out. While mixing work and play and striving and achieving and maintaing a balanced lifestyle. Treated directly by India's leading psychiatrist Dr. Sanjay Chugh for 16 years. Who himself trained professionally at Harvard Medical School under Alvaro Pascal-Leone for four years. The founder of Neuroplasticity. And the co-founder being Jeffrey M. Schwartz. I am a little tired of hammering away at the keyboard by now. As I should f****** well be! Gonna chill and watch Star Trek soon. And munch on some Kettles Chips and chilled beer too! Cya later. My nickname is Stevie.
  9. You have No Idea. If any one out here wants to know the whole story i can simply order dozens of copies of the landmark book and give it away for free and ship it to anyone who cares to read it.
  10. To be REALLY clear, the day has already gone well past us a few years ago when Jeffrey Schwartz made friends with none other than David Chalmers in Seattle and with none other than Henry Stapp before he began to explain how and why Quantum Physics puts it all together very nicely, and how it consistently integrates Classical Buddhism with Quantum Physics. In the day and age of Classical Physics, you could be excused for thinking other wise. But not in the day and age of Quantum Physics.'s., AAnd about the literature on "modern" consciousness,, have you ever heard of the famous Journal Of Consciousness Studies?? It is called "The Spectre Of Creeping Exculpation".. Classical Physics can explain only matter (brain) but not mind. Only and only in so far as it is currently and presently known that Quantum Physics alone can do that. Pick up the latest issue of Science or New Scientist magazine and see what i am getting at..
  11. I don't think Dr. Schwartz is suggesting that we replace one set of beliefs with another. The suggestion is that we replace them with knowledge. Many people do not believe real knowledge is possible, but this is just more beliefs. Let me be very clear about this. Please read the following carefully. When he speaks of "reali-ty" the layman usually means something obvious and well-known, whereas it seems to me that precisely the most important and ex-tremely difficult task of our time is to work on elabo-rating a new idea of reality. This is also what I mean when I always emphasize that science and religion must be related in some way. -Wolfgang Pauli, letter to M. Fierz, August 12, 1948 It is interesting from a psy-chological-epistemological point of view that, al-though consciousness is the only phenomenon for which we have direct evi-dence, many people deny its reality. The question: "If all that exists are some complicated chemical pro-cesses in your brain, why do you care what those processes are?" is coun- tered with evasion (EVASION). One is led to believe that... the word "reality" does not have the same meaning for all of us. -Nobel physicist Eugene Wigner, 1967
  12. I was only trying to make things easier for my aching hands. But since you seem to have protested on my aforesaid proposal I shall abandon my use of Facebook and Twitter and continue the discussions here itself no matter how difficult or hard it may ever be. Sorry for trying to take the easy way out. That is just My nature and I will change it. So here is the Buddha's Law of Impermanance, which I accidentally remembered was actually really Impermanence- Impermanence (Pāli: अनिच्चा anicca; Sanskrit: अनित्य anitya; Tibetan: མི་རྟག་པ་ mi rtag pa; Chinese: 無常 wúcháng; Japanese: 無常 mujō; Korean: 무상 musang; Thai: อนิจจัง anitchang, from Pali "aniccaŋ") is one of the essential doctrines or three marks of existence in Buddhism. The term expresses the Buddhist notion that all of conditioned existence, without exception, is in a constant state of flux. The Pali word anicca literally means "inconstant", and arises from a synthesis of two separate words, 'Nicca' and the "privative particle" 'a'.[1] Where the word 'Nicca' refers to the concept of continuity and permanence, 'Anicca' refers to its exact opposite; the absence of permanence and continuity. Anicca or impermanence is understood by Buddhists as one of the three marks of existence, the others being dukkha (unsatisfactoriness) and anatta (non-selfhood).[2] All things in the universe are understood by Buddhists to be characterised by these three marks of existence. According to the impermanence doctrine, human life embodies this flux in the aging process, the cycle of birth and rebirth (samsara), and in any experience of loss. This is applicable to all beings and their environs including devas (mortal gods). The Buddha taught that because conditioned phenomena are impermanent, attachment to them becomes the cause for future suffering (dukkha). Conditioned phenomena can also be referred to as compounded, constructed, or fabricated. This is in contrast to the unconditioned, uncompounded and unfabricated nirvana, the reality that knows no change, decay or death. Impermanence is intimately associated with the doctrine of anatta, according to which things have no fixed nature, essence, or self. For example, in Mahayana Buddhism, because all phenomena are impermanent, and in a state of flux, they are understood to be empty of an intrinsic self (shunyata).[3]
  13. Sure. Please take your time. Many thanks for the pleasant response. Help is always avaiable wherever we look.
  14. Quantum mechanics is an area of physics dealing with phenomena where the action is of the order of the Planck constant. The Planck constant is a very tiny amount and so this domain of physics is typically on the distance and momentum scale of atoms and elementary particles in general. Action is a general physical concept related to dynamics and is most easily recognized in the form of angular momentum. The most tangible way of expressing the essence of quantum mechanics is that we live in a universe of quantized angular momentum and the Planck constant is the quantum. A tangible result of the quantization of angular momentum is the existence of discrete electron orbitals, each with a principal quantum number and each orbital with an associated angular momentum that is an integer multiple of the Planck constant. Quantum mechanics has many implications on the microscopic scale, some of which are obscure and even counterintuitive. Classical physics explains matter and energy at the macroscopic level of the scale familiar to human experience, including the behavior of astronomical bodies. It remains the key to measurement for much of modern science and technology. On the other hand, at the end of the 19th century scientists discovered phenomena in both the large (macro) and the small (micro) worlds that classical physics could not explain. Coming to terms with these limitations led to the development of quantum mechanics, a major revolution in physics. This article describes how physicists discovered the limitations of classical physics and developed the main concepts of the quantum theory that replaced them in the early decades of the 20th century.[note 1] These concepts are described in roughly the order they were first discovered; for a more complete history of the subject, see History of quantum mechanics.[1] Some aspects of quantum mechanics can seem counter-intuitive or even paradoxical, because they describe behavior quite different than that seen at larger length scales, where classical physics is an excellent approximation. In the words of Richard Feynman, quantum mechanics deals with "nature as She is absurd."[2] Many types of energy, such as photons (discrete units of light), behave in some respects like particles and in other respects like waves. Radiators of photons (such as neon lights) have emission spectra that are discontinuous, in that only certain frequencies of light are present. Quantum mechanics predicts the energies, the colours, and the spectral intensities of all forms of electromagnetic radiation. Quantum mechanics ordains that the more closely one pins down one measurement (such as the position of a particle), the less precise another measurement pertaining to the same particle (such as its momentum) must become. This is called the uncertainty principle, also known as the Heisenberg principle after the person who first proposed it. Put another way, measuring position first and then measuring momentum does not have the same outcome as measuring momentum first and then measuring position; the act of measuring the first property necessarily introduces additional energy into the micro-system being studied, thereby perturbing that system. Even more disconcerting, pairs of particles can be created as "entangled twins." As is described in more detail in the article on Quantum entanglement, entangled particles seem to exhibit what Einstein called "spooky action at a distance," matches between states that classical physics would insist must be random even when distance and the speed of light ensure that no physical causation could account for these correlations.[3] So you really can get a do from an is!
  15. Dear Guys And Gals, It is becoming increasingly difficult for me to quote and for me reply to every single answer and every single question and to have to type it all manually out one word by one number and therefore I would suggest that if anyone reading this is either on Facebook or on Twitter it would be far easier for me to simply press the Share Button in iBooks or Kindle and take out any abstract from any book by any author from within the applications themselves. Hope You Will Understand.
  16. When he speaks of "reali-ty" the layman usually means something obvious and well-known, whereas it seems to me that precisely the most important and ex-tremely difficult task of our time is to work on elabo-rating a new idea of reality. This is also what I mean when I always emphasize that science and religion must be related in some way. -Wolfgang Pauli, letter to M.

One is led to believe that... the word "reality" does not have the same meaning for all of us. -Nobel physicist Eugene Wigner, 1967 Those other two "Meta Physical" issues, that of the existence of God, and that of the Buddha's timeless Law Of Permanence, and also of Immortality, and also of Duality, are all found in the same book. If anyone reading this is on Twitter, it will be much easier for me to share material from the book, from within the Social Networks Link, in iBooks or in Kindle.
  17. Dr. Jeffrey M. Schwartz, M.D., writes in his latest book called "You Are Not Your Brain" exactly what you are trying to say. I cannot publish what he has said here due to copyright restrctions, but suffice it to say that he says that, "The Sense Of Self is diffused and seoerated from Reality because the Brain is sending into the Mind "Deceptive Brain Messages" which have been learned through habit formation from child hood and which lead us all to often erroneously believe things to be right which are actually just plain wrong."
  18. In the famous movie called "2012", there is a particularly striking and utterly revealing scene, that goes FAR beyond what even Quantum Theory or Quantum Physics, indeed, for that matter, can even begin to speculate upon, in my personal and judgemental view, let alone prove, that "The Teacher is showing to his Student, and is over filling a cup of tea to the point, where it begins to fall out of the cup and all over the floor, and the Student stares and says in amazemement and shock to the Teacher, about what is it that he is doing wrong, and the Teacher kindly and politely tells him, that Your Mind and Your Brain are just like this over flowing cup of tea, over flowing with masses and masses of cluttered and unsorted information, and if the Student really wants to change, he will have to first empty his tea cup (his Mind and his Brain), and then and only then, can he or will he be ready to absorbs lots of new and useful information, that he never new existed in his head, and that that is the only way out and forward for him." New Scientist magazine stated in a special issue on Quantum Physics published in March 2013, that "We have run out of explanations for the Universe. It may be time to at last consider a radical rethink about everything as we know it now." Sorry about bringing up Quantum Physics into a forum on General Philosophy. Because as I will state later, they are both saying the same thing. The same Universal Laws. It has been proven. Don't believe MY words. Read on and find out for yourself. Sorry about the excessive punctuation in my post. It is imporant in my view, for the sake of clarity and sharpness and Focus and Attention. That matter of the mind and its Focus and Attention, is a seperate field I have found integrated into this particular field, in several cutting edge books by leading psychiatrists in the world. That favorite author of mine, who has done excelling and stunning work in integrating the two totally disparate views of 3000 years apart, of Classical Buddhism and Quantum Theory, into one covergent and universal and integrated view, is none other than (google it) Dr. Jeffrey M. Schwartz, M.D., in what no less an esteemed magazine as Science, writes on the back cover of his landmark book, "The Mind and The Brain", "Neuroplasticity and The Power of Mental Force", that "This book explores some of the hardest questions of mankind." I would like to take up the opportunity to inform or warn anyone who is reading this, almost as a Medical Disclaimer, that in my own personal and emphatic words, that if he or she dares open up that book, dares open up the Pandora Box, that their lives will be changed forever, as was mine a few years ago. Good Journeys. Arjun Shriram.
