“In some weird way an electron or a photon [or any other elementary particle] appears to be to ‘know’ about changes in the natural environment and appears to respond appropriately,” states physicist Danah Zohar.
A team at the Weizmann Institute in Israel has performed a variation of the famous “double-slit” experiment. They utilized electrons, alternatively of photons, and observed how the resultant interference sample (which signifies wave-like houses of the particle) dissipated the for a longer period you viewed the electrons go by the slits. As a wave the electron passes by both of those slits simultaneously but if, in accordance to E Buks, it “senses” that it is remaining viewed, the electron (as a particle) goes as a result of only a single path, diminishing the interference sample. Elementary particles (this kind of as photons and electrons) seem to possess a selected degree of “intelligence” and awareness of the setting. Renowned plasma and particle physicist, David Bohm, states “In some sense a rudimentary head-like high quality is current even at the stage of particle physics. As we go to subtler amounts this intellect-like top quality gets more robust and additional formulated.”
Consciousness appears to be as elementary a property to elementary particles as homes that make it “make a difference” or a “actual physical power” (for illustration, mass, spin and demand). And just as mass, spin and cost vary from 1 particle to another it is possible that unique particles have diverse degrees of consciousness.
Circumstances for Manifesting Consciousness
Bohm states that “a particle has a prosperous and complicated internal structure which can reply to facts and direct it’s self-movement appropriately”. This is more evident in more massive particles and Bose-Einstein condensates which behave as super particles.
A one isolated particle would have some degree of consciousness (or recognition of the environment). Nevertheless, small-vitality and reduced-frequency elementary particles (as explained presently in the physicists’ “Common Design”) very easily shed their assets of consciousness when they turn out to be entangled with other particles and decoherence sets-in. This point out is analogous to the point out of a demagnetized steel item. Although all the specific atoms are in a perception magnets, no magnetic fields are noticed. However, the moment the atoms in the metallic item develop into aligned with their north and south poles pointing in the exact course they commence to show the property of magnetism.
In the same way, when groups of particles are in the very same quantum state, i.e. when they are in a condition of quantum coherence, the assets of consciousness is exhibited. A point out of an extremely low diploma of consciousness (for sensible uses – no consciousness) is exhibited by inanimate make any difference at macroscopic scales in our highly decoherent very low-electrical power classical universe.
For this reason, elementary particles will show their intrinsic diploma of consciousness when isolated or when a group of particles share the same quantum condition. This implies that bulk subject in a non-coherent state is effectively unconscious. The research of mindful particles is referred to as “quantum metaphysics” by this author.
Particle Memory
In 1959, physicist Richard Feynman pointed out that all the words penned all through the record of the earth could be contained in a cube of substance one particular tenth of a millimeter extensive – offered people terms ended up created with atoms. Now, researchers have finished just that, creating an atomic-scale memory by making use of atoms of silicon in spot of the 1s and 0s that personal computers use to retail store information. Scientists at the University of Wisconsin at Madison have been able to browse and write at place temperature to a memory device that employs a solitary atom to store a little bit. The memory density of this memory device is similar to the way nature shops info in DNA molecules.
How a lot information can an atom retailer? Scientists have composed the term “OPTICS” on a solitary atom, demonstrating the large facts capability that exists even in an particular person hydrogen atom. This was performed by sending one of its electrons into a “Rydberg condition”, in which it no extended exists as a cloud of cost enshrouding the nucleus but instead gets a ‘wave packet’ that circles the atomic nucleus like a earth around the Solar. By implementing a sequence of pulses a set of wave packets can be established that blend with each and every other like drinking water waves and cancel each and every other out at certain sites to kind styles all around the atom. Carlos Stroud of the College of Rochester and Michael Noel of the University of Virginia place out that an electron in an n=50 Rydberg condition has 2,500 doable states of angular momentum which can be put together in several methods – evidencing the tremendous likely for even elementary particles to store and transportation huge amounts of information.
Can a person’s memory with all its visible, audio, tactile and other data be conveyed in a wave-particle? It is amazing that nonetheless complex a wave, it can be described as a mix of many basic sine waves of many frequencies and amplitudes. This is how an overall orchestra can be heard from the one vibrating cone of a loud speaker. When switched on and off at irregular intervals, or modulated in intensity or in frequency, waves can carry a huge amount of facts. The increased the frequency the larger the amount of information and facts the wave may encode. Storing memory in wave interference patterns is remarkably effective, and would be ready to accommodate the vastness of human memory. For illustration, holographic encoding of wave-interference patterns would permit all of the textbooks in the US Library of Congress to in shape on to a significant sugar dice
The Bodily-Etheric Nucleus
Just about every subtle overall body has a nucleus – which metaphysicists Charles Leadbeater and Annie Besant have known as a “lasting particle”. Leadbeater phone calls the nucleus of the larger etheric double a “bodily-etheric atom”. According to Leadbeater and Besant, information about the relevant refined system is stored in this particle (its composition, frequency, construction and associative reminiscences). In this way the encounters that the subtle entire body has gone via in a particular universe are stored or are linked to this nucleus – which can be transferred additional easily to yet another universe and human body through microscopic wormholes.
The particle is analogous to DNA in the biomolecular human body. DNA is referred to as a “bioparticle” in the clinical literature and it retailers or back links extensive amounts of information and facts about a specific life-form. Hindu metaphysics describes these particles or nuclei as “bindus” and Tibetan yoga “drops”.
The physical-etheric nucleus is transferred to larger power bodies when the subtle system dies – serving the same reasons as a “black box” flight recorder in an plane in preserving information about a unique life’s encounters. This nucleus is also accountable for the lifestyle overview in a near-demise encounter. According to Besant, the lasting particles are employed to protect in just themselves as “powers of vibrations” (i.e. various frequencies and waveforms) the results of all activities by means of which they have passed. By the close of one particular everyday living in the physical overall body, the long term particle (or bodily-etheric nucleus) would have stored up “innumerable powers of vibration” (i.e. a established of waveforms of distinctive frequencies).
A personality is just a “packet of self-organized data”. If this data can be transferred from one particular human body to another that temperament “lives” on. Data stored in the physical-etheric nucleus enables the identity and its involved physical-etheric human body to be “reconstructed” or “resurrected” in a related physical-etheric physique afterwards – in a approach analogous to a teleportation. In accordance to plasma metaphysics, the bodily-etheric human body gives an electromagnetic matrix which performs a critical role in the morphogenesis of the actual physical-biomolecular physique. This gives a foundation for reincarnation or a resurrection (depending on which faith interprets it).
The actual physical-etheric nucleus allows the transfer of details from 1 system (in just one universe) to another body (in a different or the very same universe) for the duration of the (actual physical) death course of action. If not for this transfer, the experiences in the physical (3d) universe may possibly be difficult to obtain or reconstruct at a afterwards day. The facts about our self has to be “uploaded” to a further “player” (i.e. a entire body) to carry on our own existence. The advances in Science counsel that the nuclei of the many subtle bodies can have a significant quantity of sophisticated holographic info about their corresponding bodies and ordeals.
Conscious Waves
As quantum physics has demonstrated, elementary particles also behave as waves – dependent on the experimental established-up. Bose-Einstein condensates can behave as super particles – and thus also as waves. If a gas is cooled to a couple millionth of a diploma above absolute zero, the atoms lose their identity as person particles and behave as a single entity, a kind of “tremendous atom” with traits comparable to a laser. They then choose on the weirdness of quantum objects – such as wave-particle duality and the ability to quantum-tunnel out from one particular place to a different. Conscious particles can as a result also propagate as waves.
The Acutely aware Zero Stage Area
Stuart Hameroff thinks that a kind of proto-consciousness is a basic aspect of the universe as a total and exists at the in close proximity to-infinitesimal Planck scale. “Could proto-acutely aware qualia just exist in the empty place of the universe?” he asks.
Zohar suggests there is no reason in basic principle to deny that any framework, biological or in any other case, that contained a Bose-Einstein condensate may well possess the ability for consciousness. She argues that for there to be a single integrated “self” some thing have to account for the unity of mind states connected with just about every ingredient of an knowledge. In a sense the independent things need to become in-section with each and every other. A Bose-Einstein condensate typifies this sort of unity. She indicates that the mind has two interacting programs: the coherent Bose-Einstein condensate connected with consciousness, and the laptop-like program of specific neurons. In accordance to her, the electrical action observed on the EEG may possibly be a bridge in between the two – if both technique is excited, it would create an electrical field that functions on the other.
The zero place industry (or the quantum vacuum) by itself can be deemed a Bose-Einstein condensate, crammed with photons and other bosons of zero electrical power. This arises from the commutation regulations in which the subject is quantized in accordance to Bose-Einstein studies. This delivers a foundation for a subject of consciousness that is existing just about everywhere in our universe.
The Atman Discipline
In accordance to quantum electrodynamics, particles are considered excitations in a subject. Consequently, all particles have fields related with them and all fields have particles involved with them. Fields connected with (acutely aware) tremendous particles would show consciousness and smart behavior. Mindful fields, like electromagnetic fields, would not have any sort in the way that a actual physical, tangible item has.
The a variety of elementary particles come in strictly similar copies. One electron is no unique from any other electron. In truth, Richard Feynmann (pursuing-up on a remark by John Wheeler) speculated that all the electrons we measure may basically be just one and the exact electron.
We might call the aware zero position discipline the “atman subject”. Each individualized atman or “atman particle” can be considered a essential unit of consciousness and an excitation in the atman industry. Every single elementary atman particle is indistinguishable from a different. When the excitation subsides the particle disappears and is indistinguishable from the area.
