Join the revolution going on in science.

movie_portalA genuine paradigm shift. While mainstream science remains materialist, a substantial number of scientists are supporting and developing a paradigm based on the primacy of consciousness.

Dr. Amit Goswami, Ph.D, a pioneer of this revolutionary new perspective within science shares with us his vision of the unlimited potential of consciousness as the ground of all being, and how this revelation can actually help us to live better.

The Quantum Activist tells the story of a man who challenges us to rethink our very notions of existence and reality, with a force and scope not felt since Einstein.

This film bridges the gap between God and Science. The work of Goswami, with stunning precision and without straying from the rigors of quantum mechanics, reveals the overarching unity inherent in the worlds major religions and mystical traditions.   ...read the entire synopsis

Amit has recently appeared in the blockbuster movie "What the Bleep Do We Know?", the award winning "The Dalai Lama Renaissance" and authored over a dozen books from textbooks on quantum mechanics to consciousness and the New Science.

Consciousness and Non-Duality

December 17, 2011 in Philosophy, Post Materialist Science, Thoughts by ri

IONS Interview: Amit Goswami

Even today, the tendency is to look at consciousness dualistically — consciousness separate from matter. This position is not compatible with science; so scientists have emphasized material monism/everything is matter philosophy. We show that this is not compatible with quantum physics. We then develop a fully paradox-free idea of monistic idealism — everything is consciousness. We discuss how a science based on this nondual philosophy succeeds as an inclusive science that can deal with all natural phenomena.

Diamonds ‘entangled’ in physics feat

December 17, 2011 in Featured, Quantum Physics by ri

By zapping diamonds with an enormous number of laser beam pulses, physics researchers have created several cases of what Einstein called “spooky action at a distance.”

A team of scientists showed that two diamonds can entangle with one another, meaning that vibrations in one of the crystals share an invisible, long-range connection with vibrations in the other crystal.

“We have been able to demonstrate that even everyday objects can exhibit some of the strange, counterintuitive behavior of quantum physics,” said University of Oxford professor Ian Walmsley, who led the study, published recently in the journal Science.

Until now, scientists had only seen that phenomenon in frozen clusters of atoms.

“One of the weird effects well-known from atomic-scale systems is the possibility of superposition  the ability of an object to be in two places at once,” Walmsley said.

You may have heard of Erwin Schrodinger’s cat thought experiment in which a cat is both alive and dead at the same time because its life depends on an atom that has both decayed and not decayed. This paradox illustrates how bizarre superposition can be.

In the case of Walmsley’s study, photons were showing up in two spots at the same time and causing vibrations within a pair of diamonds. The researchers made it happen by placing two diamonds about 15 centimeters (about 6 inches) apart on a table and then shooting a series of photons at a device called a beam splitter. Most of them went toward one diamond or the other, but a few of the photons went both ways at the same time. When those multitasking photons struck the pair of diamonds, they caused vibrations called phonons with each of the crystals.

How meditating may help your brain

November 21, 2011 in Featured, Health Care, Philosophy by ri

When you’re under pressure from work and family and the emails don’t stop coming, it’s hard to stop your mind from jumping all over the place.

But scientists are finding that it may be worth it to train your brain to focus on something as simple as your breath, which is part of mindfulness meditation.

A new study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, is the latest in a hot emerging field of research examining how meditation relates to the brain. It shows that people who are experienced meditators show less activity in the brain’s default mode network, when the brain is not engaged in focused thought. Read the rest of this entry →
