Scientific proof to happiness and why pursuing it, can “change” your (perspective on) life?

period, end of story… not quite. READ BELOW! well, i didn’t expect that my video would get that much attention, so i think i have to clarify my point of view: i don’t know if free will exists and frankly, i don’t care. what i know is, that newtonian determinism is bullshit (hence the video) and, that anyone who claims that free will doesn’t exist is a fraud. at this point we simply don’t know, the science isn’t in yet. we have pretty good descriptions of the inner workings of 4% of the universe, and even those (QM and relativity) don’t get along very well. (cheap shot, i know…). we don’t know how consciousness works either. we can measure where things happen in the brain, but how and why we don’t know. and then we have many-worlds theorists, solipsists, holographic universists, time-is-an-illusionists and so on. very nice concepts with little to no evidence. so please don’t tell me that you know, because you don’t. period, end of story here is a question for the “no-free-will atheists”: does evolution even make sense in a deterministic universe? wouldn’t you have to conclude, that, since everything is determined right from the big bang, that there is a plan (kind of) that lead to your existence? how does that differ from a “divine plan?” /discuss and another question: what proof and evidence do you have, that your world-view is accurate and correct? …gnihihi

Fundamentals of Physics, II (PHYS 201) The time-dependent Schrödinger Equation is introduced as a powerful analog of Newton’s second law of motion that describes quantum dynamics. It is shown how given an initial wave function, one can predict the future behavior using Schrödinger’s Equation. The special role of stationary states (states of definite energy) is discussed. 00:00 – Chapter 1. The “Theory of Nearly Everything” 12:34 – Chapter 2. The time-dependent Schrodinger Equation 40:15 – Chapter 3. Stationary States Complete course materials are available at the Open Yale Courses website: open.yale.edu This course was recorded in Spring 2010.

For an explanation of the physics behind this demonstration, visit www.quantumlevitation.com/levitation/The_physics.html. With the theme “Knowledge that Works: From Theory to Practice,” the 2011 ASTC Annual Conference featured more than 100 sessions, which highlighted how science centers and museums are putting new ideas to practical use to serve their communities. The conference was hosted by the Maryland Science Center in Baltimore, October 15-18.

Dr. Seth Lloyd, an MIT professor and self-described “quantum mechanic,” describes the quantum mechanics behind time travel during a guest lecture at the Institute for Quantum Computing, University of Waterloo (www.iqc.ca). Recorded on Nov. 4, 2010, this is entire lecture entitled “Sending a Photon Backwards in Time.” Dr. Lloyd also sat down for a one-on-one interview at IQC, during which he discusses the weirdness (and beautiful simplicity) of quantum mechanics, and the incredible importance of quantum information research.

In April of 1913, a Danish Physicist named Niels Bohr changed the way we viewed nature. The Bohr Model for the Hydrogen Atom put forth a quantized picture that had never before been seen.

Philosophers, gurus, yogis, thinkers, masters, etc…, thoughts their empirical thinkings were thruths. They are today validated by quantum physic. We are all mighty : proof in the videos…enjoy.
