Bell's theorem

18/11/2013 16:33
Sheldon Goldstein et al. (2011), Scholarpedia, 6(10):8378. Bell's theorem asserts that if certain predictions of quantum theory are correct then our world is non-local. "Non-local" here means that there exist interactions between events that are too far apart in space and too close together in time...

Einstein's Spooks and Bell's Theorem

18/11/2013 16:31
by John G. Cramer Albert Einstein disliked quantum mechanics, the physical theory that deals with matter and energy at the smallest possible scale. Quantum mechanics, as developed by Heisenberg, Schrödinger, Dirac, and others, had many strange features that ran head-on into Einstein's finely honed...

Does Quantum Nonlocality Exist?

18/11/2013 16:27
Frank J. Tipler Quantum nonlocality may be an artifact of the assumption that observers obey the laws of classical mechanics, while observed systems obey quantum mechanics. I show that, at least in the case of Bell's Theorem, locality is restored if observed and observer are both assumed to obey...

Nonlocality of a Single Particle

18/11/2013 16:23
By Lisa Zyga Usually when physicists talk about nonlocality in quantum mechanics, they’re referring to the fact that two particles can have immediate effects on each other, even when separated by large distances. Einstein famously called the phenomena “spooky interaction at a distance” because...

Are We Living in a Holographic Universe?

18/11/2013 16:20
What if our existence is a holographic projection of another, flat version of you living on a two-dimensional "surface" at the edge of this universe? In other words, are we real, or are we quantum interactions on the edges of the universe - and is that just as real anyway? [Read more] ...  

David Bohm and the Holographic Universe

18/11/2013 16:15
by Geoff Haselhurst In autumn of 1992, one of the world’s greatest contemporary physicists passed away. David Bohm, whose work inspired many people all over the world, died in London. David Bohm’s contributions to science and philosophy are profound, and they have yet to be fully recognized and...

The Universe as a Hologram

18/11/2013 16:13
by Michael Talbot In 1982 a remarkable event took place. At the University of Paris a research team led by physicist  Alain Aspect performed what may turn out to be one of the most important experiments of the 20th century. You did not hear about it on the evening news. In fact, unless you are...

"Holographic Model of The Universe"

18/11/2013 16:10
by Michael Talbot (Full Text) Only after years of dissatisfaction with standard theories* inability to explain all of the phenomena encountered in quantum physics. Pribram became convinced because of the failure of standard theories of the brain to explain various neurophysiological puzzles....

Holonomic brain theory

18/11/2013 16:08
Karl Pribram (2007), Scholarpedia, 2(5):2735. The Holonomic Brain Theory describes a type of process that occurs in fine fibered neural webs. The process is composed of patches of local field potentials described mathematically as windowed Fourier transforms or wavelets. The Fourier approach to...

THE HOLOGRAPHIC BRAIN with KARL PRIBRAM, Ph.D.

18/11/2013 16:05
Interviewed by JEFFREY MISHLOVE, Ph.D.: MISHLOVE: It's a pleasure to have you here. You know, many academic psychologists -- and perhaps you have some sympathy for this point of view -- over the years have taken a perspective which laymen tend to laugh at, at times. They claim that the mind doesn't...
