There is a page on Buddhistdoor.net that is brilliant writing. Susanna Yeung, PhD wrote about quantum physics and Buddhist principles. Please read the whole article at this LINK. Here is my favorite excerpt: The material world is a projection of the mind. According to the Copenhagen interpretation, matter only manifests in space-time when there is … Continue reading Science Explains Buddha-Nature

Penrose on Consciousness and AI and the Brain
Penrose has written controversial books on the connection between fundamental physics and human (or animal) consciousness. In The Emperor's New Mind (1989), he argues that known laws of physics are inadequate to explain the phenomenon of consciousness. Penrose hints at the characteristics this new physics may have and specifies the requirements for a bridge between classical … Continue reading Penrose on Consciousness and AI and the Brain
End of Deterministic Physics?
Today, I'm featuring a new talk presented by the "Royal Institution" of Great Britain. The title is "Chaos theory and geometry: can they predict our world?" with physicist Tim Palmer. At 44 minutes into the video, Palmer discusses the 2022 Nobel award in physics which resulted in the Scientific American headline, "The Universe is not … Continue reading End of Deterministic Physics?
John Wheeler’s Consciousness Drawing
Quanta magazine interviewed Princeton physicist, Edward Witten, known for his M-theory, or theory of everything in 2017. Witten sounded perplexed about making sense of physics. He told the interviewer that he was reading an old essay by the 20th-century Princeton physicist John Wheeler and said, "He was a visionary, certainly. If you take what he says … Continue reading John Wheeler’s Consciousness Drawing
Computers as Gods?
From VICE: Mathematicians Are Studying Planet-Sized Quantum Computers With God-Like Powers; New research has exploded the space of problems that quantum computers can efficiently verify, simultaneously knocking down milestone problems in quantum physics and math. Here are a few excerpts from the article: [...]The new result shows that even something like a run-of-the-mill laptop computer could … Continue reading Computers as Gods?
