Quantum Physics Parts Ways With Reality

aeoneal sends us to PhysicsWeb for news guaranteed to induce headache in those wedded to the reality of, well, reality. Researchers from the University of Vienna have shown the violation of a stronger form of Bell's inequality known as Leggett's inequality. The result means that we must not only give up Einstein's hope of "no spooky action at a distance," we must also give up (some of) the idea that the world exists when we are not looking. From the article: "[Studies] have ruled out all hidden-variables theories based on joint assumptions of realism, meaning that reality exists when we are not observing it; and locality, meaning that separated events cannot influence one another instantaneously. But a violation of Bell's inequality does not tell specifically which assumption — realism, locality, or both — is discordant with quantum mechanics." From the Nature abstract: "Our result suggests that giving up the concept of locality is not sufficient to be consistent with quantum experiments, unless certain intuitive features of realism are abandoned." Only subscribers to Nature, alas, can know what features those are, as PhysicsWeb doesn't tell us.

Why and How I disagree with Einstein

[mscsrrr.com]

Millions of scientists all over the world regard Albert Einstein as one of the greatest scientists of modern era because of the impact of his Relativity theories and also because he his theory helped produce atomic bomb. But I do have some problems with his theories. His relativity theory assumes that space is empty. My understanding is that space seems empty to human beings but it is not. Space may seem empty to humans. But what about other beings? Humans are not the only beings in the universe. There are other smaller and higher beings in the universe. Humans are like atomic particle in the body of the solar system. Yes, the living Sun, is also a being. The living Universe is a being. And an atom is a being too. Beings exist at different scales and sizes and dimensions. So, what may seem like an empty space to a human being will look like a solid rock to an atom. It is all about relativity of perception. Space and matter are relative. What is matter to a being will seem like an empty space to another being. And what is space to another being will seem like matter to another being. So, what is space or matter depends on the being! When the living Sun looks out, it doesn't see human beings because to the living Sun, humans are invisible atomic particles! So, my point is that scientists should stop formulating theories and laws as if they are absolute because all of our theories and laws are human centered and may not apply to other beings. This will help scientists who have been baffled by the strange behavior of sub atomic particles to finally understand what is happening at sub atomic world. For them to understand the sub atomic particles and their behavior, they must give up their human perception and cognition and assume that of the sub atomic particle. To understand any being at any level of existence, you must become that being! You must perceive it with its mind, not human mind! This is the error modern science is making. They look at planets and suns and they are not aware these are beings too and that they are alive because they are perceiving them with human mind. To see a living planet as it is as a living being, you must look at it with "planetary eyes" and a "planetary mind"! (This is what we call "Transcendental Mental Technology, The Science And Technology Of Existence" http://www.tmtworldwide.org/ ) This may help some people to understand why UFOs are so enigmatic. We try to understand it using human frame of reference (perception) and mentality! Scientists should learn to start adding disclaimers to their theories that they are only applicable to human beings and that they are not absolute. Ikey http://www.ezymoneyinfo.com/fast
