Subj:  Fred Wolf Lecture
Date:  94-05-18 04:51:11 EDT
From:  DougieG

Last week I was fortunate enough to attend a lecture by Fred Alan
Wolf entitled "Quantum Physics and the Mind of God." This two hour
event is especially memorable due to a multimedia presentation which
has been co-authored by Jack Sarfatti. Both the ideas presented and
the quality of the presentation are excellent and I thoroughly
recommend this lecture if it comes to your city.

Applause and kudos to Mr. Sarfatti and Mr. Wolf for creating an
intelligent and well-argued synthesis between mysticism and science
for the mainstream scientific population!

#39 Quantum physics deals with a vast arena of physical phenomena,
from [subatomic], [atomic], [molecular], all the way up to modern
[computer elements], [superconducting Josephson junctions], [white
dwar] and [neutron stars], how the universe began, and maybe even
the mechanisms of perception and how the mind controls the body.

#40 Relativity, including both the special and the general theories,
deals with the relationships between matter, energy, space and time.
It includes many weird and wonderful conceptual ideas, such as
gravity being the bending of time and light particles ([photons])
traveling across the universe without spending any [time on their
own] as viewed from their [point of view].

#41 A careful look at these [classical] but non-Newtonian theories
indicates that our universe must contain dangerous regions of curved
spacetime formed from the collapse of large stars that have run out
of [fusion] fuel called [black holes].

#42 More benign [traversable wormholes] that advanced future
civilizations may be able to use for rapid [interstellar trave] and
even [time travel] to both the future and the past, are right now an
active subject for theoretical study by brilliant physicists who
publish their exciting results monthly in the prestigious [Physical
Review D].

#43 These traversable wormholes may be doorways leading to parallel
universes as well as distant parts of our own universe.

#44 Cosmology deals with the physics of the early universe in the
[big bang] about 15 billion years ago.  By including quantum physics
in with general relativity, even though not yet well understood,
[Stephen Hawking] and others find strong evidence for the reality
[imaginary time] and parallel universes in his [wave function of the
universe].  Parallel universes are related to Hawking's [baby
universes] in the [quantum foam] whose circumferences are tiny (10^-
33 cm) but whose interior radii are enormous (10^28 cm).  The fact
that the [cosmological constant] of our universe is zero is evidence
for the reality of baby universes that split off from our own.  Our
universe, in turn, would be a baby universe in the quantum foam of
the interior of a parallel universe.

#45 Psychology deals with human [consciousness] and with problems
associated with human behavior and the nature of observation.

#46 The parallel universe interpretation of quantum physics enriches
the field of psychology.

#47 For example, it may help us to understand major psychiatric
disorders, now appearing rampant in our society, such as [multiple
personality] and [schizophrenia].

#48 Parallel universe theory promises a new kind of [quantum
computer] - one that could not exist if parallel universes were not
real.  This new kind of computer would have natural intelligence as
opposed to [artificial intelligence].

#49 Indeed, our minds may well be quantum computers.

#50 Quantum computers make decisions based on data coming both from
the past and also from the future.

#51 In fact, it is my view that parallel universe theory shows that
the future can influence the present just as much as the past.

#52 The mathematics of quantum physics indicate not only how the
future enters our present but also how our minds may be able to
'sense' the presence of parallel universes.

#53 The laboratory of parallel universe experimentation may not lie
in a mechanical time machine a la [Jules Verne], but could exist
between our ears.
