Classes / seminar descriptions:

"Quantum Physics and Metaphysics" given by Dr. Laurance R. Doyle, Ph.D.

Description: Over the past century, since the discovery of quantum physics, concepts of reality in the natural scientific community have fundamentally changed. The experimenter can no longer be separated from his experiment, the elementary particles that constitute things do not exist until they are observed, and knowledge (or even potential knowledge) about events supposedly in the past can presently change what that past was supposed to have been. In this short class we will look at some of the people (including Einstein) who studied the nature of light in order to test concepts of reality. In particular, we shall discuss in some detail a cosmic quantum experiment that might be performed soon. In the conclusions we shall point out that quantum physicists are discovering the mental nature of reality in ways that may be familiar to Christian Scientists, concluding things about reality that Mrs. Eddy had already written about more than a century before.
