Bohm’s Implicate Order, Wheeler’s Participatory Universe, Stapp’s Mindful Universe, Zurek’s Quantum Darwinism and the Buddhist Mind-Only Ground Consciousness.
Get PDFAccording to quantum physicist Erich Joos the following three issues are the outstanding quantum conundrums of deep significance:
1. The meaning of the wavefunction;
2. The exact nature of the mechanism of the collapse;
3. The connection between the quantum and classical realm.
In this paper I shall attempt to elucidate a possible approach to these central issues by drawing parallels between David Bohm’s notion of the implicate order, John Wheeler’s vision of the ‘Participatory Universe’, Henry Stapp’s account of the Heisenberg-von Neumann quantum ‘ontology’, Wojciech Zurek’s ‘Quantum Darwinism’ proposal and the Buddhist Mind-Only (Yogachara–Chittamatra) concept of the alayavijnana, the ground or store consciousness
Zinātnes un Reliģijas dialogs LU manā redzējumā
Get PDFLatvijas Universitātes fizikas zinātņu doktors Aigars Atvars pirms nedaudz gadiem mani uzaicināja līdzdarboties „Zinātnes un reliģijas dialoga (ZURD)” grupā.
Tajos XX gadsimta gados, kas tika aizvadīti zem padomju režīma un ateisma diktatūras, toreiz, kad studēju augstskolā un kad pēc tam uzsāku ārsta praksi, katra kristieša dialogs ar zinātni norisinājās pie sevis, klusībā, individuāli, lai savai sirdsapziņai varētu dot atbildi, un lai pastāvīgo ateisma ideoloģisko un represīvo uzbrukumu apstākļos varētu saglabāt kristīgo pārliecību
Can there be a general nonlinear PDE theory for existence of solutions ?
Get PDFContrary to widespread perception, there is ever since 1994 a unified, general type independent theory for the existence of solutions for very large classes of nonlinear systems of PDEs. This solution method is based on the Dedekind order completion of suitable spaces of piece-wise smooth functions on the Euclidean domains of definition of the respective PDEs. The method can also deal with associated initial and/or boundary value problems. The solutions obtained can be assimilated with usual measurable functions or even with Hausdorff continuous functions on the respective Euclidean domains.
It is important to note that the use of the order completion method does not require any monotonicity condition on the nonlinear systems of PDEs involved. One of the major advantages of the order completion method is that it eliminates the algebra based dichotomy "linear versus nonlinear" PDEs, treating both cases with equal ease. Furthermore, the order completion method does not introduce the dichotomy "monotonous versus non-monotonous" PDEs. None of the known functional analytic methods can exhibit such a performance, since in addition to topology, such methods are significantly based on algebra

Get PDFPHYSICS – 'ALIENATION FROM' INSTEAD OF 'ORIENTATION TOWARDS' THE CREATOR?
Get PDFThe religious attitude of many physicists is atheist or agnostic. In the present article, it is
argued that this attitude is favoured by the present shape of the natural science called Physics.
The first reason is that the modern concept of nature is alienated from that of creation. The
second is that, according to the dominating view, nature is epistemologically silent about itself.
Additionally, the view of the axiomatic and thence hypothetical-deductive character of modern
Mathematics and the conjectural character of its applications to the material world make impossible
an organic connection between mathematical objects and material things. There exists
only a practical knowledge of the successful use of Mathematics in Physics. This peculiar
epistemological climate in Physics has become more and more alienated from the intellectual climate
generated by ordinary experience and its evidence, which in turn is confirmed by Christian revelation.
It is this peculiar intellectual atmosphere in which a physicist carries out his professional actions.
Their moral assessment is done with the help of two distinctions: the first between
the views of Physics as providing a physicalist world-view or as a field of professional activity like others.
The second distinction is between the two effects of a professional action of
a physicist: every such action tends to its immediate object, and every such action, by
upkeeping the existing professional standards, contributes eo ipso to perpetuate the present intellectual climate in Physics.
While such actions may be still morally acceptable, the situation
is precarious. Therefore it is convenient to have Physics reformed from within. Such an
internal reform should be experience-based and thus start from the very outset from the epistemological
climate generated by ordinary experience, which is in harmony with the epistemological
climate generated by Christian revelation.
This reason on moral grounds is the third motive for attempting an internal reform of Physics.
The first one concerns the removal of the ignorance about the link of mathematical objects to material things.
It is simply due to the necessity of having a sound selfunderstanding of Physics.
This in turn is closely related to the “apologetic” motive of removing the disharmony
between the epistemological climates referred to above. Surprisingly, some current
views of the relationship between Theology and Physics (I. G. Barbour, M. Heller, Th. F. Torrance)
do not envisage any need for an internal reform of Physics. Instead they promote an
increased influence of Physics upon Theology

Get PDFThe Double Rotation as Invariant of Motion in Quantum Mechanics
Get PDFQuantum mechanics may loose its weirdness if systematically geometric algebra methods would be used more and more. Crucial aspect is to find laws of quantum mechanics be present in macroworld in form of description of motions rather than objects. To help to reach this goal we suggest to use double rotation as one of base invariants in quantum mechanics
