The most salient point of modern quantum work is this : some subatomic particles now known to exist in a very real sense show Action at a Distance. The example is of a quantum particle which has a 'twin', remote in space. When the paricle gets its state changed, the 'twin' changes state even if it is distant - the molecules do not communicate, they just react. Some implications being:
A) Using the particle as a digital (1/0) sender, and watching the twin to receive, digitised information can be broadcast far faster than light, as there is little time lag in the switching of distant 'pairs' - ( this is of course impossible ).
B) Your brain electricity operates at such subtly delicate voltages that it can be influenced by these types of phenomena - on the level of individual neurons firing or not - with the implication that,
- you think a thought -
- a neuron in your brain fires -
- it changes the state of a quantum particle in the neuron of your brain -
- the twin is in someone else's brain, it changes too -
- causing their neuron to fire/ not fire -
- facilitating a thought process -
- switching more particles -
- which have twins in your brain -
- triggering a thought process ... etc.
- ergo : Everything Is Connected.
This is a pretty general explaination, but the theory is well understood - any old photon can go through two slits at the same time; deflect the course of one instance of the photon with a mirror, & the 'other half', spatially distant, shows identical deflection even though it is not hitting any mirror. Your brain is definitely suceptible to quantum events at its most subtle levels, these particles are in your head & their twins may be elsewhere - perhaps in another brain ..
( and why evolve a brain which is suceptible to this effect if it ain't useful? It's evolutionarily easy to increase brain voltage the .0001% and avoid interacting with the quanta at all on this level .. ergo, you would evolve to interact with whichever particles are found in their greatest concentrations inside living brains .. or an equally useful place ).
Modern quantum theory has a lot of crazy implications, these aren't the worst. Whenever Johnny reads new scientist, it seems that the chaos magic mindset is beautifully open to the lunacy of the quanta, while the scientists have apoplexy - every article is like, " We can't quite believe it, but it seems like we've just discovered that everything is connected by energy fields we can't ordinarily percieve ", evoking the response, " well, DUH."
Johnny remembers hearing a scientist commenting ( rightly ) on how we can calculate that there is a huge total of energy in the cosmos, but we can only detect about 30% of it in all scientifically known forms of matter & energy : 70% is "dark energy", science just don't understand or detect it. And then he says,
"Of course, there's no way we can even imagine of interacting with this unseen energy".
Sounds to Johnny like our scientists need us. They're having trouble just imagining doing stuff we take for granted. So have a heart. Find a Labcoat type and feed him/her psilocybin pies until they are making sandcastles with dark matter & getting in touch with their other 70%.
