The Quantum World At Work

Introducing quantum mechanics in a different light

Quantumology and the ghost in the machine

Reality is, fair to say, a bit of a mystery. How we live life is unique to each of us, but the issues we face are shared with others, the problems we encounter are rarely uncommon, and better ways of being are highly sought after the world over, by people of all populations.

There's a ghost in the machine, somewhere, but we don't know where it is, what it looks like, what it does or how to find it. Hidden amid electrons, photons, quarks and neutrinos, glittering bits of information are waiting to be unearthed, but to reach them, Science needs new tools. Scientists are on a constant quest for the information that will finally (coherently) make sense of reality. This is the underlying premise behind the conundrums in quantum physics, and that premise leans gently towards suggesting that there's more to Life than meets the eye.

Any long journey is made that much easier by knowing the road. We know from experience that we can't see the future - although we might be able to predict an approximation of things to come, the detail of what arrives will inevitably differ from our expectation. Past events can change also with new information and a shift in perspective - how often have you reached the conclusion that "it wasn't really like that, after all"?

This video concludes a six-part series that delves into the quantum world in easy-going language, uncomplicated by maths and complex equations, bypassing the wide sea of gobbledegook often associated with the subject. Many - if not most - people view quantum physics as a wizardly slurry of undecipherable formulas, yet beneath that sea are gems of knowledge that can help us determine Time and Space with greater clarity. Understanding the fabric of reality is a quest everyone shares, whether we're talking relationships or Relativity. Quantumology seeks to assist that understanding so that we can all partake of benefits en route, and bring our worlds into focus armed with appreciation of the forces at work in making up What Is.

If you want to make more sense of the circumstances around you, and value your mental health enough to make changes in your ways of thinking that will positively affect your path, this series is for you. Thought-provoking concepts you've probably seen before and steered clear of for fear of not understanding are brought to you with light and humour, providing a platform for exploration that experientially becomes a whole new way of life.

I hope you find it fun, as is intended, to set sail on the voyage to new dimensions and states of mind. And that you find a way, if such is your wont, to comment and converse with others who are also seeking to improve the conditions of our course, to beat the fears inherent in depression and anxiety, and rise above the pitfalls of existence with the confidence to grow.
