Chapter 12: Quantum physics and quantum entanglement

If we want to understand what consciousness can actually mean, we cannot avoid dealing first with the topic of »quantum physics and quantum phenomena«. At least at this point in time, our scientists cannot explain with certainty what exactly is happening in the quantum world. Therefore: do not worry! We are only approaching the subject so far that we are one step closer to explaining what human beings are and what consciousness can mean. There are extremely interesting effects in the world of quanta that, upon closer inspection, can help us arrive at a holistic new scientific worldview, and that will only be the beginning. After the geocentric worldview of Claudius Ptolemy, who placed our world at the centre of our cosmos, and Isaac Newton's mechanistic universe, which is like a clockwork, it is now time to dedicate ourselves to the spiritual world. A paradigm shift is already emerging in quantum physics. John Archibald Wheeler, one of the great quantum philosophers and teacher of Nobel Prize winner Richard Feynman, wrote in his book Gravitation that »Consciousness is the agent that allows a subatomic particle, such as an electron, to exist.« When consciousness is able to create an electron, then faith is actually able to move mountains, as Jesus said. According to this, our mind in connection with our willpower and the inner observer forms a unit that creates our reality in the material world. The localization in space or in the body creates a conscious ego that acts as a small part of the universal, all-encompassing consciousness of God. But how is all of this connected? Experiments in quantum physics provide surprising findings, as the example of quantum entanglement shows. Explaining them, let alone understanding them, is not that easy, as we as humans are only able to think in a maximum of four dimensions. When we talk about energy and waves that we only materialize and turn into particles when we observe them, our imagination has to be a little more creative, because this phenomenon borders on magic. Well, how do you imagine quantum entanglement in a very simplified way? First of all, we need to know what quanta are. To put it somewhat casually: Quanta are the smallest units of energy in a system, small portions of energy, so to speak. In the case of light, they are single photons. Quantum entanglement is created when quantum objects in a source are created together as a pair.

They are »married« or entangled with one another. Light quanta, also known as photons or light particles, are electromagnetic radiation, for example radio waves. They no longer have any mass and are therefore able to travel through space at almost the speed of light. The smallest amount of energy in electromagnetic radiation that one can imagine consists of these photons. In the previous chapter I introduced you to the terms »dark matter«, »dark energy« and »matter«. Around 5% of our visible universe consists of matter, the rest of dark energy and dark matter. Our reality is therefore divided into two dual states, into two worlds, so to speak, which exist through the observer and our consciousness: everything that we can observe and measure (matter), and everything that is present, but we only perceive through the interaction with matter. On the one hand, according to the quantum physics experiments, we have the actuality and, on the other hand, the potential. In the actuality world, matter particles can arise and be measured through observation, in the potentiality world these particles evade because they cannot be observed and are distributed in space as probability waves. One could speak of a here and a hereafter. If on the one hand we have no matter in the world of potentials because there is no observer and everything only exists as a blurred space of probability waves, and on the other hand a measurable area with matter in the actuality world, as soon as this is observed, we come one step closer to an explanatory model for the interworld. This interworld includes both areas, since the spirit can express itself in the non-material spiritual world as well as in the material world via matter. As conscious observers, we decide for ourselves which world we want to immerse ourselves in and how we want to shape it. At night we move through our dream world in potentiality, as our consciousness is not tied to time and space. On the other hand, during the day we find ourselves in the actuality, where mind and observer become conscious and in which our five senses and our sense of time and space immediately activate the familiar material world. The more attentively and mindfully we perceive every single moment, the more present we become, which other people then perceive as a more or less pronounced charisma. Erwin Schrödinger named these leaps from potentiality to topicality the PSI function, a probability model that has enabled quantum chemistry and mechanics to make predictions about molecular structures for many decades. As long as a quantum is not measured, its state is indeterminate or »diffuse«. If, on the other hand, it is measured or observed, it assumes a firmly defined state. When these quantum pairs are entangled, they form a permanent bond. If you change one of the two »partner quanta«, the other automatically changes too. And to make it even more mysterious: Regardless of the distance at which this change occurs, it is implemented in the other quantum immediately, at the same moment and without any delay.

In 2008, Professor Niklen Giese from Cern in Switzerland provided evidence that the quanta are connected to one another in such a way that a mutual exchange of information is possible even at a distance of light years with at least 10,000 times the speed of light, possibly even in real time without loss of time. Our current technology is simply still too slow to be able to detect or measure anything faster than light, or it is simply not possible for us humans to imagine this multi-dimensionality. Simplified again and to »take notes« in another example: Let us imagine a tube that is completely filled with balls that are as large as the inner tube diametre. For example, suppose the tube is one million kilometres long and filled with balls from start to finish. What would happen if another ball were pushed into one end of the tube? At exactly the same moment a ball would fall out on the other side of the tube (let's ignore the weight and friction of the balls in this example), since all the balls are positioned close together and are simply pushed one ball further. An outside observer who does not know that the tube is filled with balls could mean that the ball, which is pushed into the front of the tube, moves through the entire tube without any time delay until it finally reaches the other end and falls out again, possibly even at the speed of light. This is of course wrong, since the ball that falls out at the back is different from the one that was inserted in the front. The duration of movement would then rather correspond to the speed of insertion of the ball, i.e. a few millimetres per second. Nevertheless, the impression is created that this is happening at the speed of light. This symbolization is of course only an example for the four-dimensional space. But just as the contents of the tube are initially hidden from us, and we only see the effect that a ball disappears in the front of the tube and comes out again at the same time far back, we cannot explain the additional dimensions of quantum entanglement and its connection. With the entanglement of the photons, one would have to imagine a connection across another dimension. But here, too, there are interesting theories that reach up to the creation of six or even 12 spatial dimensions. At some point the »magician« nature will reveal to us its »trick«, how exactly it brings this about.

Classical macrophysics is very well able to explain the material world with its particles and mass properties. The latter generate the gravitational force and the electrical forces are determined by the charge properties, which generate the magnetism through the spin (the rotation of the particles). In the realm of the microcosm and quantum physics, however, all particles that are not measured or observed mutate into a probability field. Instead of manifesting as atoms and electrons, they form a vibrating, oscillating space of all possibilities. The moment the observer comes into play, the world we perceive is created. Accordingly, probability fields create reality. In summary, one can describe the experiments in quantum physics with the words of the computer scientist Wolfgang Müller:

» - The whole of reality is dual, it breaks down into two fundamentally different realities. Every particle of matter (= every quantum) can exist in two fundamentally different states and thus creates two worlds, which are called actuality and potentiality:

- Particles can take the form of spheres and show measurable physical properties (e.g. charge or mass). They create the space-time world we are used to, the actuality, and

- Particles can elude our observation in an immeasurable other state in which their possible properties are distributed as probability waves in space, the potentiality. At the same time, they are constantly on the go to immediately switch to actuality when they are observed. «

The PSI function formulated by Erwin Schrödinger applies here as a law. In the event of the »collapse of potentiality«, it allows a certain probable freedom of choice with regard to measurable values, which the quantum then assumes in an atomic or molecular system.

Let me give you one final example of entanglement. As soon as quanta are entangled in a quantum source, a connection is created between them. Please look at the following picture with the two lightbulbs.

Illustration 24: Quantum entanglement

Demonstration 1: lightbulbs

Imagine two entangled quantum particles, in this case two lightbulbs, side by side. The left lightbulb turns on and off automatically all the time. The moment you look at or observe the lightbulb on the left, you determine the quantum state. The lamp is then switched on, for example. Since the lightbulbs are interlocked, the other, right-hand bulb switches off at the same time. Next attempt: change the quantum state of the left lamp and observe it.

The quantum state is determined exactly when you observe it. For example, the left lamp is now off and the right lamp is on.

Demonstration 2: electrons

If we take electrons instead of lightbulbs and change their rotation around the same axis, we speak of a »spin«. While one electron rotates to the left around an axis, the spin of the other electron takes place around the same axis to the right. This phenomenon is extremely astonishing. The two electrons are entangled, and the effect occurs without delay and over any distance. Even if one light quantum were on one side of the universe and the other about 45 billion light years on the other side of the universe, this entanglement effect would work. However, no one has tried this yet, so the evidence for this theory is still pending. Since Einstein taught us that nothing can be faster than light, but the effect occurs without a time delay, the quanta have to be connected to one another somehow or at least an exchange of information has to take place. He called this phenomenon »spooky action at a distance«, which cannot be explained with the theory of relativity. But perhaps the explanation is much simpler than assumed, because spatially separated objects may not really be separated from one another, but only in our perception. In spiritual circles it is said that everything is connected to everything. Our reality is a potentiality of possibilities that we as spiritual beings can use to experience them in actuality.

Demonstration 3: coins

A coin with heads and tails has a different spin regardless of which side you look at it from. As an observing person, we can only perceive one side of the coin at a time. But the coin has two sides that are connected to each other. The three-dimensional space or, better formulated, the limited view of us as observers may lead us to believe that things exist separately from each other (in the example the separation, the distance between the particles, would be found in the thickness of the coin). Furthermore, we humans cannot initially look at both sides of the coin at the same time. If we look at one side of the coin, the other side remains hidden from us. In quantum physics, however, a particle can be in two places at the same time, at least as long as we observe it. Just as both sides of the coin are present at the same time, if we can only look at one side at a time.

The unfolded coin in the picture removes the illusion and enables us to perceive both sides at the same time.

Of course, in our physical world there would be a trick to see both sides of a coin at the same time by looking into a properly positioned mirror. Perhaps our researchers will invent a »quantum mirror« so that we can recognize the totality of all »positions or non-positions« of entangled particles.
