“It's starting to catch hold, and in large measure it's because we're starting to understand that much of what we have talked about in ancient mythology and mystical experience and so forth can pretty well be modeled within the world of quantum physics. That's a 20th century phenomenon also.” WorldWellsCenturyStartingAncientPhysicsMythologyPhenomenonQuantumMystical20th CenturyQuantum PhysicsMystical Experiences Author:Edgar Mitchell
“The downside was that for 400 years, science has grown up, has arisen and developed as a purely materialist concept and avoided the subject of mind and consciousness, leaving it to the realm of religion. Only with the founding of quantum science in the early part of the 20th century have we realized that the Cartesian Duality is wrong, that body, mind, physicality do interact and they're interrelated.” YearsMindBodyConsciousnessSubjectsCenturyConceptsLeavingRealmsQuantum20th CenturyFoundingAvoidedDualityPhysicality Author:Edgar Mitchell
“Most 20th century academic physicists, and academia as a whole, simply did not want to touch the subject of consciousness. We have seen psychology grow up, and we've seen the development of neurophysiology and other much more sophisticated science, but only in the recent years have the tools of quantum mechanics been applied to anything representing human scale size.” WantYearsHumansWholeGrowsConsciousnessGrowing UpPsychologySubjectsCenturyDevelopmentToolsSizeScalesAcademicQuantumSophisticated20th CenturyMechanicPhysicistRepresentingQuantum MechanicsAcademia Author:Edgar Mitchell
“It was a dogma throughout most of the 20th century that quantum science only applied to subatomic matter, and we now know that not to be true. One of the major discoveries was Quantum Holography.” KnowsMatterCenturyMajorsDiscoveryBeing TrueDogmaQuantum20th CenturyTrue Ones Author:Edgar Mitchell
“We call our intuition our sixth sense, but in reality it would be called our first sense, because it's rooted in quantum nature of reality. It was around long before our solar system and our planetary system were even formulated or even organized. It is at the basis of how our normal sensing works. So instead of being our sixth sense or even â€" using the parapsychological term â€" "extrasensory perception," it's not. It's at the basis of our perception, and that's the quantum world.” WorldFirstsLongRealityWould BeTermNormalPerceptionBasesIntuitionOrganizedRootedQuantumSolar SystemSixth SenseSensing Author:Edgar Mitchell
“What we're starting to see is a quantum biology, it being applied in biology and cosmology and a host of other sciences, because it does really pertain to how we know. It really helps bring epistemology, which is how do we know what we know, out of the realm of philosophy and brings it into the realm of science.” KnowsDoePhilosophyHelpingStartingRealmsBiologyHostQuantumCosmologyEpistemology Author:Edgar Mitchell
“I've been very involved in this quantum holographic formalism and helping to explore it as explanatory of the very root of our perceptual capabilities. It is postulated, for example, that this very basic entanglement, at the quantum level, at the level of subatomic matter, is really a part of quantum mechanics.” MatterHelpingLevelsExampleInvolvedRootsCapabilityQuantumMechanicQuantum MechanicsEntanglement Author:Edgar Mitchell
“The most basic act of awareness or knowing that we can demonstrate in science. I postulate that that is the very basis of why we're conscious at all, that it is this relationship at the quantum level as matter evolves into more complex form, including plants and animals and living substance and ourselves, that this area of consciousness as an awareness becomes more and more complex.” MatterFormAnimalLevelsConsciousnessKnowingAwarenessConsciousAreasBasesPlantComplexesIncludingEvolveSubstanceQuantumPlants And Animals Author:Edgar Mitchell
“The quantum hologram is a mechanism to explain this concept of the ancients of the Akashic Records. It also explains Rupert Sheldrake's work among animals [his theory of morphic fields and morphic resonance, leading to a vision of a living, developing universe with its own inherent memory].” UniverseMemoriesAnimalVisionRecordsFieldsTheoryConceptsDevelopingMechanismQuantumInherentResonanceHolograms Author:Edgar Mitchell
“The quantum fluctuations within a zero-point field can start the process that builds the process, which builds into matter, an irreversible process. We have some evidence that suggests that. We don't have a Big Bang, but we have a lot of little pops! A continuous set of little pops!” LittlesMatterBigsProcessFieldsEvidencePopsZeroQuantumBangsIrreversibleFluctuation Author:Edgar Mitchell
