Could quantum mechanics save the soul? In the light of 20th century physics, is free will plausible? But this implied that an immaterial soul could break the laws of physics, and affect some physical processes in the brain, in order to control our actions. Even in the 17th century, this was regarded as a bit much:. But the 20th century gave new life to dualism.

Does Quantum Mechanics Predict the Existence of a Soul?
Religions are just a way for organizations to compete for the explanations of existence, being, nature, purpose, reality of human existence and experience. From Wikipedia comes the fact that there appears to be around 4, religions on the planet. The question I have is: What is the soul? The exploration of the neuroscience of the soul has a few problems, one of them being that there is no consensus on the definition of what a soul actually is, as it is usually a patchwork from one belief to another. Another problem, according to Deepak Chopra, M.

These days, however, it is far from being a matter of consensus that the universe is comprehensible, or even that it is unique. Multiverse proponents advocate the idea that there may exist innumerable other universes, some of them with totally different physics and numbers of spatial dimensions; and that you, I and everything else may exist in countless copies. Ever since the early days of science, finding an unlikely coincidence prompted an urge to explain, a motivation to search for the hidden reason behind it. One modern example: the laws of physics appear to be finely tuned to permit the existence of intelligent beings who can discover those laws—a coincidence that demands explanation. With the advent of the multiverse, this has changed. As unlikely as a coincidence may appear, in the zillions of universes that compose the multiverse, it will exist somewhere. There is no obvious guiding principle for the CERN physicists searching for new particles. And there is no fundamental law to be discovered behind the accidental properties of the universe. Both challenges have some justification. Of course, nature could be complicated, messy and incomprehensible—if it were classical.
Nobody understands what consciousness is or how it works. Nobody understands quantum mechanics either. Could that be more than coincidence? The American physicist Richard Feynman said this about the notorious puzzles and paradoxes of quantum mechanics, the theory physicists use to describe the tiniest objects in the Universe.
