Quantum Field Theory Quotes

“One of the most curious consequences of quantum physics is that a particle like an electron can seemingly be in more than one place at the same time until it is observed, at which point there seems to be a random choice made about where the particle is really located. Scientists currently believe that this randomness is genuine, not just caused by a lack of information. Repeat the experiment under the same conditions and you may get a different answer each time.”

“Each time a new flower blooms, you are that flower. You are living in an infinite quantum field, so it does not matter in which direction you can choose to view reality - as a hierarchical chain from lowest to highest or a hierarchy from highest to lowest - it does not matter. Because there is an endless blossoming of this flower in all directions. You cannot simply say that you are 'ascending upwards' for example, because there is no up or down, right, or left, or diagonal, in the infinite quantum field. Just as you cannot order soup in a restaurant and ask the waiter to please serve each ingredient separately, so too, humanity also lives in a quantum vibratory soup. That is why there is no dogma in Gnosticism. You just need to intensify your consciousness.”

“Parallel Realities

Here and now.

Other vibrations. Other frequencies.”

“The wave quality of light is the same as that of the electron. The wave determines the probable location of the photon of light when it is detected. The wave character of light is not vibrating stuff like a wave of water but rather a wavelike function encoding information about where you'll find the photon of light once it is detected. Until it reaches the detector plate, like the electron, it is seemingly passing through both slits simultaneously, making its mind up about its location only once it is observed [...].
It's this act of observation that is such a strange feature of quantum physics. Until I ask the detector to pick up where the electron is, the particle should be thought of as probabilistically distributed over space, with a probability described by a mathematical function that has wavelike characteristics. The effect of the two slits on this mathematical wave function alters it in such a way that the electron is forbidden from being located at some points on the detector plate. But when the particle is observed, the die is cast, probabilities disappear, and the particle must decide on a location.”

“Mankind has uncovered two extremely efficient theories: one that describes our universe's structure (Einstein's gravity: the theory of general relativity), and one that describes everything our universe contains (quantum field theory), and these two theories won't talk to each other.”

“Everybody is one; yet you can still be yourself.”
― Wald Wassermann

“...How then do they manage with these incorrect equations? These equations
lead to infinities when one tries to solve them; these infinities ought not to be there.
They remove them artificially. ... Just because the results happen to be in agree-
agreement with observations does not prove that one's theory is correct. After all, the
Bohr theory [of the hydrogen atom] was correct in simple cases. It gave very good
answers, but still the Bohr theory had very wrong concepts.”
― P.A.M. Dirac

“To understand this new frontier, I will have to try to master one of the most difficult and counterintuitive theories ever recorded in the annals of science: quantum physics. Listen to those who have spent their lives immersed in this world and you will have a sense of the challenge we face. After making his groundbreaking discoveries in quantum physics, Werner Heisenberg recalled, "I repeated to myself again and again the question: Can nature possibly be so absurd as it seemed to us in these atomic experiments?" Einstein declared after one discovery, "If it is correct it signifies the end of science." Schrödinger was so shocked by the implications of what he'd cooked up that he admitted, "I do not like it and I am sorry I had anything to do with it." Nevertheless, quantum physics is now one of the most powerful and well-tested pieces of science on the books. Nothing has come close to pushing it off its pedestal as one of the great scientific achievements of the last century. So there is nothing to do but to dive headfirst into this uncertain world. Feynman has some good advice for me as I embark on my quest: "I am going to tell you what nature behaves like. If you will simply admit that maybe she does behave like this, you will find her a delightful, entrancing thing. Do not keep saying to yourself, if you can possibly avoid it, 'But how can it be like that?' because you will get 'down the drain,' into a blind alley from which nobody has yet escaped. Nobody knows how it can be like that.”

“If I keep observing the uranium, which means a little more than keeping my eyes on the pot on my desk and involves something akin to surrounding it with a whole system of Geiger counters, I can freeze it in such a way that it stops emitting radiation.
Although Turing first suggested the idea as a theoretical construct, it turns out that it is not just mathematical fiction. Experiments in the last decade have demonstrated the real possibility of using observation to inhibit the progress of a quantum system.”
― Marcus du Sautoy, The Great Unknown: Seven Journeys to the Frontiers of Science

“If, years later, I do use the slit detector to observe which way the electron went, it will mean that many years earlier the electron must have passed through one slit or the other. But if I don't use the "slit detector," then the electron must have passed through both slits. This is, of course, extremely weird. My actions at the beginning of the twenty-first century can change what happened thousands of years ago when the electron began its journey. It seems that just as there are multiple futures, there are also multiple pasts, and my acts of observation in the present can decide what happened in the past. As much as it challenges any hope of ever really knowing the future, quantum physics asks whether I can ever really know the past. It seems that the past is also in a superposition of possibilities that crystallize only once they are observed.”

“Self appears as many but all the many are Self. Self appears as many not to be by itself. Self appears as many for Companionship. Self appears as many for Friendship. Self appears as many to Love and be Loved in endless return.”
― Wald Wassermann

“One may travel into space all one wants wants only to find oneself which is paradoxically the purpose of space travel; the purpose of space travel is to remember we are not as divided as it seems and that all diversity is self engineered for the purpose of companionship, friendship, love.”
― Wald Wassermann

“All otherness is self desired, self conceived and self perceived for togetherness.”
― Wald Wassermann

“Spacetime is self engineered for love.
Space to embrace.
Time for love.”
― Wald Wassermann

“The eigenstate is love.”
― Wald Wassermann

“Truth is simple yet purposely complex as in differentiated. Why? So to be able to experience companionship, so to be able to experience friendship, so to be able to love and be loved in return.”
― Wald Wassermann

“Self is one not wanting to be alone. Hence diversity. The purpose of diversity is so self could experience companionship, friendship, love.”
― Wald Wassermann

“And so self forever veils itself so not be by itself. So to love and be loved in eternal return.”
― Wald Wassermann

“Sam would stand on the beach at dusk for long periods of time staring at the particles reflectively glisten across trillions of tiny explosion points watching sunsets of the Aegean Sea fade out. Sam would change his visible spectrum across wider ranges allowing the
elements and their cascade of radiance to repeat and dance in vibratory field mechanisms unimaginable. The waves would crash glowing with blue bioluminescence but on the opposite ends of the spectrum creating red shift tides that grew and shrank on black sand while the sun burned in turquoise.”

“The Theory of Everything begins with the Universal Energy. This Universal Energy is divided into different amounts, reshaped to become each energy type. These energy types then gather to become the strings, particles, and motions, for all objects in the universe.”

“In the fusion of Akira's brightness and Sunyata's emptiness, we discover a universe where every moment is a convergence of infinite possibilities of quantum consciousness.”

“Like everything else in the universe, we are, in a sense, connected to a sea of information in a dimension beyond physical space and time. We don't need to be touching or even in close proximity to any physical elements in the quantum field to affect or be affected by them.”
