RepostHowever it has little practical use in our present daily life. Why? Because you can't get there from here unless you know precisely where you are to begin with. Welcome to the crazy world of Quantum science. A scientific world were the more you attempt to define the physical world, the less definitive it becomes..
I'm not going to pretend to understand the science behind it. I'm simply not that smart, but this is all based on the
"uncertainty principle" in quantum physics.
My take away from the final part of that videoWe can consciously observe "things" in our immediate physical world in the present time. But we cannot observe "things" beyond our current consciousness's time references (the future). There's predictability in what we may expect will happen, but this is where the "uncertainty principle" comes into play. No matter how one attempts to define what will happen with exactness, there are too many factors influencing the expected outcome. Efforts to produce an outcome with certainty predicated on logic via our everyday world observations are doomed to fail.
Another way of explaining this metaphorically (the way I understand it)If we adjust a camera's exposure time to take a photo of a fast moving train to the fastest shutter speed possible, we have a clear indication of exactly where that train is. If however we increase the length of exposure, the train now becomes a blur. Hence we can't be quite as certain exactly where that train was.
Two things are going on here. In one photo we see the train clearly in focus, although we have no idea whether or not it was moving. In the other blurred photo we are very aware that indeed it was moving, but we no longer can be certain exactly where it was at that precise millisecond. We can either have one or the other but not both at the same time. This somewhat explains how the uncertainty principle works. The more aware of one, the less we know about the other. The math used in this principle attempts to equate the two, but never can with absolute certainty.
Getting back to this theory on immortalityQuantum physics allows for an infinite number of universes all to exist at the same time. It also accepts the idea that matter and energy are one and the same. One person's consciousness living in one time reference observes something as energy while another person's may observe it as matter. Hence this scientist speculates that when our body matter dissolves (dies to those observers around us) consciousness simply refocuses itself someplace else. In other words since matter/energy is perpetual then consciousness must be of the same order.
One more thing before you dismiss this missive as utter nonsenseAll around us are millions upon millions of radio waves. They are emitted from satellites, cell phones, TV and a untold number of electronic devices. Each have their own frequencies, bandwidths and encryption methods. All one needs is the proper receiver to make sense for what purpose each was designed to do Think of these frequencies as all the possibilities that exist throughout the universe in both energy and matter form. If any of these receivers no longer appear to be working (die), doesn't mean the signals are no longer there. Nor does it necessarily mean a receiver may no longer function. Perhaps it's oscillators have been re-tuned to another frequency (beyond death) that is beyond human hearing (the living).
All around us are countless frequencies that the brain uses to interpret light and sound. Many of which animals are capable of seeing and hearing of which we can not. Who's to say if our consciousness cannot convert (re-tune) it's awareness in such a way that cannot be seen, touched, felt nor heard by those who consciousness remain in this particular frame of reference?
