Quantum Physics and Spirituality

Electron Cloud - the emerald

Quantum physics is the science that is occupied with the smallest particles in the subatomic realm. Rene Descartes has established that there are apparently two independent substances. On the one hand there is the material aspect of things, placed in space and on the other hand, we have the non-spatial, invisible, spiritual substance.

For a long time science has only dealt with the ‘material aspect’ and religions , theology and philosophy  with the ’spiritual aspect’. However if one looks at the considerations of various important quantum physicists we can see that the spiritual-invisible aspect gains ground once again in science.

In this public talk we would like to put forward some of the basic concepts of quantum physics and show how the ideas being discussed in quantum physics are parallel to the ideas discussed in spirituality. These include topics such as consciousness and materiality being an illusion.

Note: While a basic understanding of physics will be helpful, no prior knowledge of physics or quantum physics is required.

This free presentation and discussion will be held on Sunday 22nd January, 2012 from 11:00am to 13:00pm, on the 6th floor at The Osborne Hotel, 50 South Street, Valletta.
