Line Between Quantum And Classical Worlds Is At Scale Of Hydrogen Molecule

ScienceDaily (Nov. 12, 2007) — The big world of classical physics mostly seems sensible: waves are waves and particles are particles, and the moon rises whether anyone watches or not. The tiny quantum world is different: particles are waves (and vice versa), and quantum systems remain in a state of multiple possibilities until they are [...]

Why quantum physicists talk like mystics

MANILA, Philippines―One of the most difficult problems confronting psychics, mystics, visionaries or clairvoyants, is how to make what they see real to ordinary people who do not and cannot see it the same way they do.
And since they are in the minority, their views are often ignored or [...]

Research on important topics affects us in many ways

Among the many interesting scientific, social, cultural, psychological and natural developments we often read and hear about, some give us reason for hope and happiness, while others cause us worry and sadness.
Ongoing wars, terrorism, brutality, crime, corruption, injustice, economic instability, poverty, hunger, disease, climate change and other human problems cause troubling and discouraging feelings within [...]

British scientists learn to levitate very tiny objects

AFP, LONDON
Wednesday, Aug 08, 2007, Page 6British scientists have discovered a ground-breaking way of levitating ultra small objects, which may revolutionize the design of micro-machines, a new report says.
Physicists said they can create “incredible levitation effects” by manipulating so-called Casimir force, which normally causes objects to stick together by quantum force.
The phenomenon could be used [...]

The Remote Viewing Archives

” Remote Viewing ” (mental spying) was initially carried out by Eastern Block countries at the height of the ” Cold War.”
Secret PSI research associated with the state security and defense establishment was going on in the former U.S.S.R. and its many satellite communist countries since the early 50’s.
Paradoxically, the Soviet Union, although based on [...]

The Mind Outside the Body

Explorations into the mind field will become more fascinating as time unfolds. But at least one finding has its share of entertainment value. A few years ago the adventurous British researcher Rupert Sheldrake received an e-mail from a woman in New York City who said that her African gray parrot not only read her thoughts [...]

New Record for Quantum Cryptography

European scientists have broken a distance record for sending quantum information from one place to another, paving the way for a system that relies on the laws of physics to provide communications that can’t be tapped. If they can extend the reach of their signal a little further, they’ll be able to use satellites to [...]

What is quantum entanglement?

Entanglement is a strange feature of quantum physics, the science of the very small. It’s possible to link together two quantum particles – photons of light or atoms, for example – in a special way that makes them effectively two parts of the same entity. You can then separate them as far as you like, [...]
