Hinduism and Quantum Physics

02/11/2013 10:06
In recent years physicists have had to address the interplay of consciousness and the physical world. In Quantum Physics much has been made over Bell's Theorem.

Escaping the Reality Illusion

02/11/2013 10:02
Kundali Dasa You probably have no reason to believe that your senses are unreliable sources of knowledge.
