Quotes About Non-local

For me, consciousness is non-local, not limited to the body, and can exist independent of it.

If you told that to the Incredible Randi, he would insist some fraud or hoax existed. Yet such non-local correlations appear mathematically necessary to Quantum Mechanics and experiments have measured them repeatedly.

That's the kind of question that got Carl Jung thinking about synchronicity (universal resonance) which is a little bit like Sheldrake's morphogenetic field and also, coincidentally, a little bit like the non-local effect in quantum mechanics.

The coincidance of Michael Cusack and Nicholas of Cusa and John Cusack and Henry Flower across space-time could not have been known in full to Joyce's conscious mind, of course, which is why any theory of Joyce's novels must take into account the reality of the non-local function he abbreviates as .

The problem seems to lie in different concepts of what we mean by a Hidden Variable. Dr. Bohm, the man who suggested the design of the Aspect experiments, means something that Einstein and other proto-Hidden Variable theorists had not conceived. From Bohm's point of view, the Aspect experiments weaken the case for local hidden variables, but they tend to support the concept of non-local hidden variables.

Well, as explained in the last section, non-local correlations transcend causality and also subvert our traditional notions of space and time. If two particles — or events, or Whatnots — have a non-local correlation, in modern quantum theory, this means that they will remain correlated even when no signal, no field, no mechanical push-or-pull, no energy, no cause of any sort can travel from one to the other.

In a non-local implicate order, information cannot have a locality, but permeates and/or transcends all localities. And information that has no locality sounds a great deal like the Hindu divinity Brahma, the Chinese concept of Tao, Aldous Huxley's Mind At Large, and the Buddha-Mind of Mahayana Buddhism. Any one of those concepts must mean information without location (if we admit they mean anything at all).

The Buddha-Mind is not 'God'," Buddhists continually explain, and Occidentals blink, unable to understand a religion without God. But Brahma, in Vedic Hinduism, does not have any of the personality, locality, temperament (or gender) of Western gods and, like Buddha-Mind, seems to mean a kind of non-local implicate order, or information without location, if it means anything.

Bohm has avoided speculating about this parallel between his math and ancient Oriental mysticism, but others have not. Dr. Capra in The Tao of Physics uses a Bohmian non-local model of quantum theory as the true model (ignoring the physicists who prefer EWG or Copenhagenism) and then points out, quite correctly, that (if we accept this as the only true quantum model) quantum theory says the same things Taoism has always said.

Indeed, Lao-Tse's famous paradox, The largest is within the smallest only begins to make sense to an Occidental after she or he has understood what non-local information means in modern physics.

Dr. Walker develops a mathematical model of this non-local Self and uses the model to derive predictions about how often the alleged psychokinesis of parapsychologists can occur. His results correlate with the scores made by persons very successful in psychokinesis experiments. In other words, people rated good at controlling the fall of dice, because they score above chance, score on the average only as far above chance at the non-local Hidden Variable model says they can.

The gravitational field itself contains energy, and this energy measurably contributes to the total energy (and therefore to the mass, by Einstein's E = mc^2) of a system. Yet it is a nebulous energy that inhabits empty space in a mysterious non-local way.

All thinking, knowing, perception, space-time, occur in consciousness. You are a non-local consciousness. The world is in you.

Seattle has a long tradition of celebrating local and non-local art - from the Burke and Seattle Art Museums to the Asian Art Museum.
