I read that our minds are projections from one single Mind according to quantum fieid theory. What do u think?

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?

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.

It is the claim of Fred Alan Wolf and also a physicist called Ludvic Bass in his article 'The Mind of Wigner's Friend.

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

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.

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.

So Fred Alan Wolf misunderstood Bass's theory. Thank you..

Why does a scientist ( fred alan wolf) claim such things like one single mind? Are they charlatans? Do they really believe in such things?

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.

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?

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

Did you read the article 'the mind of wigner's friend' by Ludvic Bass about single mind which is said to prove this claim ?

Can any of you help me understand this article? It ıs full of math equations..http://www.fredalanwolf.com/myarticles/Bass_1.pdf

It looks like some simple aspects of quantum mechanics - wikipedia maybe all you need.

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?

Sounds trivial - my brain is a brain.
