Wholeness and Quantum Mechanics?

[Guest guest]

There are some in the world of health, healing and mind stuff, like various

alternative therapists, the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (of TM fame) and Deepak

Chopra, who frequently invoke simplistic summaries of quantum mechanics to

explain why their world view of what they offer may work. All too often,

their extrapolations from the world of quantum mechanics can be very

inaccurate, unwarranted and misleading.

The following website offers an interesting view of quantum mechanics that

corroborates the views that many of us have who have experienced the wonders,

contradictions, paradoxes and total weirdness of this field in university

graduate physics courses:

A Cybernetic Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics

Ross

This paper surveys evidence and arguments for the proposition that the

universe as we know it is not a physical, material world, but a

computer-generated simulation -- a kind of virtual reality. The evidence is

drawn from the observations of natural phenomena in the realm of quantum

mechanics. The arguments are drawn from philosophy and from the results of

experiment. While the experiments discussed are not conclusive in this

regard, they are found to be consistent with a computer model of the

universe.

Six categories of quantum puzzles are examined: quantum waves, the

measurement effect (including the uncertainty principle), the equivalence of

quantum units, discontinuity, non-locality, and the overall relationship of

natural phenomena to the mathematical formalism. Many of the phenomena

observed in the laboratory are puzzling because they are difficult to

conceptualize as physical phenomena, yet they can be modeled exactly by

mathematical manipulations.

When we analogize to the operations of a digital computer, these same

phenomena can be understood as logical and, in some cases, necessary features

of computer programming designed to produce a virtual reality simulation for

the benefit of the user.
