Professor Basil Hiley, one of the foremost theoretical physicists of our time, enters in conversation with Scott Snibbe on the philosophical implications of quantum mechanics and his collaboration with David Bohm. In today’s episode of Science & Wisdom LIVE, they will discuss:
The paradox of quantum mechanics and wave/particle duality
Multiple interpretations of quantum mechanics: the standard interpretation, the multiverse and the quantum potential
Bohm’s interpretation and the subtle action of the quantum potential
Testing Bohm’s hypothesis experimentally
Quantum processes are not mechanical but organic
Implicate and explicate order and the nature of minds
The creation of new concepts and process-oriented language
Why ‘there is no particle, there is just process’.
The role of observers and measurements in quantum mechanics
How the quantum potential can bridge individual and collective
Why we “can’t control nature, and if you think you can you’re going to cause disasters”
Avoiding fragmentation: a wholistic approach to problem-solving
Group dynamics and super systems
