I have recently familiarized myself with the new age spiritual awakening concepts of enlightenment and such. I feel the spectrum of New Age concepts has utter bullshit to more compelling theories. I have also familiarized myself with a basic understanding of quantum mechanics. Can't help but wonder if quantum entanglement has anything to do with the spiritual concept of oneness? Thoughts?
I have read theories about entanglement being the source of Gravity. I have not thought it had any thing to do with oneness. I am trying to figure out if the Universe is Conscious and if so how it would work. I am finding lots that makes no sense to me.
Entanglement explains a lot.
The Big Bang (which we are inside) began with the splitting of a singularity, implying that ALL particles in the universe are essentially entangled with all other particles.
Check out Fritjof Capra's book, "The Tao of Physics".
To make any woo seem more sciency, just add the word "quantum" and stir.
It works only because it is one of the areas where even our knowledge on science at the moment is pushed to the limits. All I'm entertaining is the thought consider the woo as a potential theory. I'd be happy to listen to arguments as to why the theory is utter bullshit, but as long as stuff remains uncertain, I'm happy to dwell on all kinds of thoughts. However, I acknowledge that perhaps this could also be because of my limited knowledge on how quantum entanglement works.
As a physics person I can tell you there is zero link between 'new age' and quantum mechanics. Sorry human. However, quantum mechanics can and does help clarify some 'new age' ideas as utter non-sence.
You are right. The " New Age " spiritualism is primarily total bullshit and has been for years. It's a good thing these people never achieved the kind of political power traditional religions have secured. However, there is a small nugget of real knowledge which can be gotten if you look for it.
