Like why after nearly seventy years has there not been a return trip to the moon? … Continue reading Quantum Mechanics isn’t ‘Spooky’ and Neither are UFOs

Both/ And: Dealing with Duality
Dualities are ubiquitous in nature, but that doesn’t mean that they are what they seem, otherwise physicists wouldn’t be looking for a unified theory.

Consciousness and the Measurement Problem, part. 1
Meaning is a state of consciousness and consciousness is what gives life and thus matter=energy (the stuff that keeps us alive), meaning. There is no upper limit to how much consciousness a physical system can have, or the number of entangled particles within that system (limited only by the number of particles). Therefore it is conceivable that the entire universe is entangled in a conscious system “only the inanimate universe and living bodies are observers” (Kastrup 109:2019).
