Twentieth-century physics overturned the clockwork view of the nineteenth century, and twenty-first-century discoveries are now showing that many of our everyday intuitions about reality are illusions. At fundamental levels, the world looks far stranger than common sense suggests—yet strikingly similar to insights preserved in esoteric traditions. Relativity and quantum mechanics reveal that time and separateness apply only within the narrow band of human-scale experience; outside it, reality behaves in radically different ways.
In this talk, Dr. Dean Radin will review evidence suggesting that consciousness itself may play an active role in shaping the physical world, and describe how this is being tested. Topics include: (1) experiments using optical interferometers to probe consciousness-related interpretations of quantum theory, (2) results from the long-running Global Consciousness Project, and (3) a growing shift within science toward engaging with metaphysical ideas once considered beyond the pale—including a renewed interest in philosophical idealism.
