Positivism v. Practical Mechanics
In conversation here with I had cause to mention Positivism, a fancy term for scientists who only accept proven facts and rubbish everything else. Brian Cox is one of those... I quote: "The uncertainty principle is a doorway through which all kinds of charlatans and purveyors of tripe can force their philosophical musings."
Academia is full of positivists. Their approach has hindered progress in the quantum field for more than a century - if you look up quotes from the quantum founders (Schrödinger, Planck, Heisenberg etc.) you'll find plenty of esoteric comments about consciousness and reality being beyond the realm of current exploration. Peer pressure, paper approval and funding have exercised constraint on diving deeper than the laboratory vacuum and prevented evolution of this science that has found itself stuck at the most basic level of understanding.
In conversation with live online the other day, we discussed many aspects of practical quantum mechanics and how it affects the way we live our lives. As individuals, we are given to all kinds of interpretations and applications of principles, giving us the freedom to explore concepts at will without constraint. The Universe is set up to gather information - a thing is either True or Not True, which doesn't mean it's false, it just means it is untrue unless found to be otherwise. This binary system is self-replicating, so what's true for you might be untrue for someone else. And that's fine, it's allowed. Variations are everything in the quantum flux - uniqueness rules (as in snowflakes and grains of sand) and hidden variables exist in wells of probability that continually vary so that nothing stays the same.
With this information-gathering protocol at the heart of universal perpetuation, it stands to reason that the more we give, the more we receive. The more we learn, the more there is to teach. And the more we practise mindful gratitude, the more opportunities to appreciate will come our way. It's not magic, it's the bedrock of physics that at present nobody really understands. This aspect has been discussed with and covers a lot of ground in self-development.
The time will come when we do understand, and will be better placed to explain things to our children. When people grow up with an inkling of what entanglement is, how superposition works and where uncertainty plays a part in manifesting uniqueness, the human world will be in a better position to evolve beyond the debauched sludge of self-indulgence that has come to typify its planetary behaviour.
