Thereโs a context to exploring leading future ideas. There is a historical context, then thereโs also a sociological context, but if you want to know whatโs really happening, you have to explore the philosophical context. In todayโs quantum world we are making the last move in the big scientific revolution which has been going on for more than a century.ย Hello, weโre Alice and we are always in a state of wander.ย Weย think itโs necessary to have the whole picture to see the future. So, letโs back up to go forward and visit the philosophical context for todayโs quantum quakes.ย In todayโs newsletter we will revisit interviews that challenged existing thinking spanning back 10 to 15 years.
Everything is entangled.
The way you know and how you know
determine what you know.
โA quantum world is quite amazing. Everything is entangled. I can be in many, many places at the same time. There are people like myself and other physicists who believe that the world is quantum through and through. And the fundamental way I should say, in which quantum differs from classical is that in the quantum world the observer and the observed are entangled, like everybody is entangled. So, the act of measurementย actually changesย both. So, Iโd like to think what this means is that the way you know, how you know, determines what you know. As somebody says, โIf your only tool is a hammer then everything looks like a nail.โย So, if youย โknow' with the greatest of sensitivity and coherence, then things remain magical and quantum. And this is how some physicists are discovering that maybe thatโs how the world is.โย

Non-local communication. Scalar waves are at play.
โNon-local communication is becoming evident on Earth, between humans, between humans and animals, and it is probably not limited to the Earth.ย Communication with other intelligent species could be possible if we can enter on that dimension with our mind, so that we can pick up these signals and send them. We donโt need to do that only by mechanical, electromagnetic means, because itโs very likely that this communication is not electromagnetic. Itโs much more instant. We know that electromagnetic waves attenuate in time and in space. This kind of communication, which is non-local, does not do that. It remains independent of time and space. Itโs very likely that other means, other quantum fields that are based on scalar waves and scalar holograms are at play. Scalar waves are not limited to the speed of light. They are not infinite, but they can be much higher than that. And I believe that communication, if we find the right way of communicating with each other non-sensorially, in a spontaneous means, that already people in states of altered consciousness can do, then we may be able to communicate with other species as well. Itโs the next step in the evolution of consciousness, which will bring us much closer to unity.โ

We are pictures of the information that
surrounds us. We are the fish which takes
the property of the water where we swim.
โIf you look at the spectra, the symbiation of the brainwaves, you find that it isย more or less identicalย with the Schumann Resonances. The Schumann Resonance is high interactions of the atmosphere. The atmosphere forms a kind of a cavity with the world. And in these cavities, there are permanently electromagnetic interactions with this low frequency part, and they have the same structure as the brainwaves. Whatโs also interesting is that always at noon time on all parts of the Earth it has the highest activity. So, itโs very likely that our brainwaves are influenced by the interaction of the external world with our brain. Or that these resonance interactions came up because our brain wasย more or less evolvedย by these processes. So, we are pictures of the informationย of our surroundings. You see it in all parts of the electromagnetic waves, you see this resonance condition between the body which is a very sensitiveย antenna system for all these oscillations from the outside. And with these oscillations you trigger other processes. You are a fish which takes theย property of the water in this ocean where you are.โ

We are entering a time of psychophysics.
โIn quantum mechanics, the core mystery is associated with knowledge of systems. If inย such aย world all of psychology and all of consciousness are just reflection, epi-phenomena of matter, then those epi-phenomena, even if they are illusions, should have elements of non-locality and entanglement. In which case there should be flashes of telepathy and flashes of precognition.ย It should occur. And, of course, people do report these things. So, the minimum of what we can say is that the best description of the world as we have so farย allowsย weird things to occur which mimic what people experience. And 100 years ago, we could not have said that. Thatโs why most people think in classical terms when it comes to human experience. The reason why scientists say, โWell, I canโt accept any of the psychic stuff because it violates the laws of nature,โ they are talking about 17thย century laws of nature. They are not talking about what is happening now. There is still a giant mystery of how we connect quantum mechanics with what is going on in the head.ย And, actually,ย Iย donโt think that quantum mechanics is the answer. It may be a good answer for certain levels of physical matter, but we need to go beyond that to start explaining what is going on in biological systems. And there it becomes much more complicated. I think the direction is very clear that eventually we will have an accurate physics explanation for what is going on here, but it wonโt be called physics anymore. Itโll be psychophysics.โ

We live in a world of information.
"Youย can think of the world as a world of energy, particles, atoms, molecules, fields and so on, which is the world that we learn about in school. But you could also think of the world as a universe of information with human consciousness becoming aware of the information from microsecond to microsecond.ย Itโs a model in which miracles and coincidences and all kinds of things that are unexplainable in the physics of energy become normal things in the physics of information. For example, telepathy, you know, paranormal phenomena, would become a normal occurrence if the world is really a world of information rather than a world of energy. And in the last twenty or thirty years there has been a lot of interest in coincidences, certainly in parapsychology and its impact on physics, mainly because quantum physics is coming to some of the same ideas from a different perspective. So, from my background, mainly as an information scientist,ย I find that very interesting. Coincidencesย give a major insight into the way consciousness works, the way we become aware of thingsโthe physical coincidences that have to do with the structure of the universe. If you believe that the world is a world of information, if you were to present the universe as a universe of information, then you should expect coincidences. You should expect that since we are information machines, Iย mean thatโs what our brain is, itโs primarily an information machine, then consciousness gives us the illusion of a physical world because we are transversing the database. The universe is a big database where there is no time. And time could be generated just by the process of our own consciousness. If thatโs the case, then you would expect coincidences.ย Coincidences are nothing strange, they are just an indication that thatโs the way the universe functions. If you take that approach then there are many experiments that could be done in parapsychology, for example, that have not been done to try to maximize these coincidences.โ

There is a collective memory stored in
our informational universe.
โThere's collective memory. Maybe it sounds like magic, but what sounds like magicย really justย depends on where science is at the time. Aย digitalย recorder would have sounded like magic in the 18thย century. A mobile telephone would have sounded like magic, talking to somebody in a distant place instantaneously, this is the stuff of magical fantasies. Morphic resonance and morphic fields give rise to effects which sound like magic, but this is not because they are magic, or maybe they are magic, but if so, maybe everything is magic in some sense.โ

Our brain is a satellite, out there is your mind.
โAre we evolving toward or evolving away from these abilities? My guess is that we are doing neither. That the abilityย is aย reflection ofย the fabric of the universe, and at times there is more openness to the phenomena, people are more willing to talk about it. Imagine in another 20 years, when there are connections between mind, body and spirit,ย orย mind and matter.ย We may need to evolve into not simply homo sapiens sapiens, but homo sapiens sapiens sapiens before we have the capability to control our inner self, which seems to be the primary control knob in these phenomena.โ

We are citizens of the solar system. The exploration of quantum entanglement is our human journey. We are being asked to stretch the very fabric of our understanding. We are rewriting the narrative of healing, consciousness, and reality. We are being invited to reimagine the cosmos not as a collection of separate, mechanical parts, but as an intricately entangled coherent whole. Our intentions create the ripple across the quantum fabric, we hold the key to our collective health and destiny. โAlice
