“A popular feel for scientific endeavors should, if possible, be restored given the needs of the twenty-first century. This does not mean that every literature major should take a watered-down physics course or that a corporate lawyer should stay abreast of quantum mechanics. Rather, it means that an appreciation for the methods of science is a useful asset for a responsible citizenry. What science teaches us, very significantly, is the correlation between factual evidence and general theories, something well illustrated in Einstein's life.” IfsNeedsFeelsShouldFirstsWellsMeanDoeCoursesLiteratureGivenTeachCenturyTheoryMajorsEvidenceTwentiesResponsibleMethodAppreciationLawyerPhysicsCorporateEndeavorAssetsQuantumMechanicQuantum MechanicsFactualCorrelationCitizenry Book:Einstein: His Life and Universe Source: Einstein: His Life and Universe
“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
