Quantum Theory: The Second Pillar of the New Cosmology
Eight PD hours for teachers!  AMS approved!

The universe emerges from the all-nourishing abyss not only fourteen billion years ago but in every moment.

— Brian Swimme

Explore the Science Without Math

Underlying all matter is the Quantum Vacuum. Alive with restless energy, it is the source from which matter arose 13.8 billion years ago and which still underpins its existence every single moment of time. These quantum fluctuations of primordial energy spit out and suck back in matter and antimatter particles every instant in time. The foundation of our universe is kind of a “space-time foam” that seethes with creative potential.    

“If one can be captivated by music without studying scales and be uplifted by poetry without studying meters, then surely one can be enlightened by quantum physics without studying equations.”  — Sarbmeet Kanwal 

Explore the Wisdom that flows from this deepest of all layers of reality.

The new perspective that flows from the Quantum revolution strikes a death blow to reductionist viewpoints — observers cannot be separated from what they observe and a whole cannot be reduced to a collection of parts. 

“In the beginning there were not coldness and darkness: there was Fire.”

— Teilhard de Chardin

 

Bolster your understanding of four Deeptime Principles . . .

  • Context: Recognize how Quantum physics extends context to incorporate the mysterious and nonmaterial into the Big Picture.
  • Matrix: Examine how Quantum physics elevates relationality above things to deepen our understanding of radical relatedness in a participatory universe.
  • Subjectivity (self organization, interiority): Probe the role of Quantum physics as a source of subjectivity and transformation in a creative universe.
  • Action: Marvel at how Quantum theory models a framework for human initiative and action.

Session Descriptions

Session 1 (Aug. 10), Context: How can quantum energy ignite the big bang? How can quantum fields generate materiality? How can self-aware life emerge from quantum randomness? Quantum physics is the science of mystery. It helps put the magical and the mystical back into the context painted by the cosmic story. 

Session 2 (Aug. 17), Matrix: Quantum physics is all about the primacy of interaction and relationship. Entities derive their identity not from their properties but from their relationships with other entities. This dynamics turns objects into subjects. It connects everything in the universe into one vast cosmic web.

Session 3 (Aug. 24), Subjectivity: Quantum relationality is what brings about subjectivity. Like the collapse of a quantum wave, being is evoked through an observer observing the observed. All change in the universe flows from relationship and interaction.

Session 4 (Aug. 31), Action:  Like the probability cloud around an atom, we are all surrounded by a swirling potential of possibilities luring us into the future. The one that is actualized becomes a launch pad for the next set of possibilities. To follow these allurements through our actions is to be aligned with the universe.

Reality is Not What it Seems, by Carlo Rovelli

Learn Four Key Science Concepts:

1) Quantum Non-determinism:
The future of a quantum system is unpredictable. No matter how much information is available, science can only tell the probabilities associated with different outcomes; never which outcome the system will actually choose.

2) Quantum Non-objectivity:
Objectivity in science changes meaning in quantum physics. A subject can no longer be separated from the object being observed. Science becomes the study of interactions between observers and the observed.

 

3) Quantum Relationality:
The quantum universe is not made up of things. It is not a collection of objects but a web of relationships. These relationships are expressed through a set of quantum interactions.

4) Quantum Discreteness:
No process in the universe is smooth or continuous. Everything happens through discrete jumps. Either you are all in or you are not. Either you are on this side or you are on that. There is no in-between for the quantum universe.

Awareness that the universe is more Cosmogenesis than cosmos might be the greatest change in human consciousness . . . since the awakening of the human mind . . .  — Thomas Berry, The Great Work

Why is this course important?

Our grasp of the Cosmic Story cannot be complete without an understanding of the generative power that originated the universe and that even today underpins the existence of every material body.

Quantum Field is the mechanism through which the original creative impulse continues to flow through every atom of matter and every photon of light, sustaining the ongoing evolution of the cosmos. Understanding the quantum essence of our being can help us align our lives with the spirit that animates cosmic development.

Is this course for you? 

  • Are you intrigued by Quantum wisdom but are not sure how it fits into the Cosmic Story?
  • Do you feel lured by the mystery that surrounds Quantum physics but don’t see how it translates to spiritual insights?
  • Do you have a hard time separating Quantum hype from Quantum reality?
  • Do you want to understand the essence of Quantum physics but feel you don’t have enough of a science background to do it?

If your answer is yes to any of the above, then this course is for you!
