livescience.com— After decades of studying this, Ed Mitchell is pretty certain that the feeling of interconnectedness / oneness with the Universe is a consequence of quantum physics.

To SJKat...if you just called me a f**kin' hippie...well, THANKS! I have always wanted to be called a f**kin' hippie and it took 38.9 years to get there. I am finally fulfilled. I need to go hug a tree.My life is never boring, though; I have issues with health that cause me to respect each and every day. Oh...and people. Try another adjective, maybe?
This is an affront to my intelligence. From the title, you'd expect to hear, you know, maybe uh... something remotely related to quantum physics? All I heard about was how astronauts are amazed by the views they see while in space, and how they feel a "oneness", as though "the entire universe were the result of an underlying karmic vibration", and all that garbage that we all grew out of decades ago. That's news? I'm expected to be surprised and intrigued by the notion that space is amazing?! Please, don't bother me with any more.
Weed works much better and is lots cheaper than space flight.I do believe some merit is due the concept, based on the infinite multi-verse.I formulated a very similar hypothesis in the early 80's.Sadly it can't be tested, as only quantum mechanisms such as our brains can detect it's effects in any meaningful manner.I recently discovered that Sir Roger Penrose and others have attempted to prove some of this based on quantum systems. I have not read the book (The Emperor's New Mind), but he is on the right path.<a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Penrose">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Penrose</a>
I'm pretty sure libertinette was referring to the existence of the *truth* of quantum mechanics, not to its study. (A parallel statement might be something like "Without Darwinian evolution, people would never have come to exist," even though of course people existed before Darwin.)

Wow. You convinced me. Good job. Excellent sources. Keep up the good work.Oops...my sarcasm pen just ran out of i

Jennifer Love-Hewitt? You mean the Eskimo?

String theory is a theory made for the public, not for the scientists.

"Perception alters Reality" is on of the cornerstones of the Open Source Time Travel Project<a class="user" href="http://tmxxine.com/Wikka/">http://tmxxine.com/Wikka/</a>It occurs at the quantum level and with some unique people and trainingalso occurs on the macro level
