Just visited the site you mention, and found a lot of very fascinating information. One thing that surprised me, considering how long ago it was published, is the continued use of Asimov and Bach's Atom: Journeying Across the Subatomic Universe, included in their specific research sources.
Yes, the last I'd heard was, as I mentioned, an experiment using a patient who was dying of cancer, who agreed to have tests run on him during his final moments; this allowed them to find out quite a bit, but compared to this, it seems to have only scratched the surface (though much of what they were finding then has apparently been further substantiated). I've wondered for a long time when the connection between thought/personality and the more "extreme" parts of quantum mechanics would begin to show up, having felt rather strongly that the effects of such physics may not be inherently obvious on the macroscopic level, but when we start getting into such major things as the development of mind, it was likely to suddenly become very much a part of our macrocosmic world. Of course, we're a long way from understanding much of that connection, but the beginning of such seems to be coming into play....
Fascinating stuff! Thanks for the resource. (I'm just surprised that CVU hasn't jumped in here, considering her promotion of biology and related fields in the science section. It'd be interesting to hear her take on this. On that note, I'm glad to see that -- at least concerning the brighter students -- the ones coming up today seem to be growing up with a rather good grasp of quantum physics, considering what a woolly bear it can be. There are some bright rays out in that future, after all!) |
