QuantenPhysik
“Maybe knowledge is as fundamental, or even more fundamental than reality.” (A.Z.) The austrian quantum physicist Anton Zeilinger explains to the Dalai Lama some basics of quantum physics and some results of the last 9 years of experiments in quantum mechanics. Themes: Atomism, randomness, the phenomenon, interdependence, the role of the observer in quantum physics and buddhism (Parts 1-3). Explanation of the quantum computer (Parts 4-6). Dialogue Leaders: Anton Zeilinger and Arthur Zajonc. Questions from Matthieu Ricard and Wolf Singer.
Excerpt of: “Mind and Life XIV” – Dialogues on “The Universe in a Single Atom”. Day 1 Afternoon Session (April 9th, 2007)
(Held at His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s residence in Dharamsala, India)

Anton Zeilinger (born on 20 May 1945 in Ried im Innkreis, Austria) is an Austrian quantum physicist. He is currently professor of physics at the University of Vienna, previously University of Innsbruck. He is also the director of the Vienna branch of the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information IQOQI at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. Zeilinger has been called a pioneer in the new field of quantum information and is renowned for his realization of quantum teleportation with photons (Source: Wikipedia).
In addition to being a scientific autobiography, the Dalai Lama’s book “The Universe in a Single Atom: the Convergence of Science and Spirituality” highlights those issues he feels are most important in the “convergence of science and spirituality.” These issues and questions form the focus of the Mind and Life XIV meeting, and become the foundation on which a group of scientists develop a deep dialogue with the Dalai Lama and other Buddhist scholar-practitioners.
The conference was organized by the Mind and Life Institute (www.mindandlife.org) and the Office of His Holiness the Dalai Lama (www.dalailama.com).

The Dalai Lama and Quantum Physics (2007)
Ive seen 2 minutes cartoons explain the slit experiment better than this eminent physicist. A simple animation wouldve explained it instantly without the need for the confusion caused by language.
36:45 the biologist thinks he has it all figured out….Hilarious he thinks that way when next to real physicists who have had trouble with it for ages. Incredible arrogance
wasting my time watching a religion cult discussing about quantum physics.
Bit = 0,1 while Qbit = 0, and 1; From this instance, one can see a different between a classical Bit versus a Qbit and this could easily explain for men is responsible for this change and therefor, the machine, under Qbit, will also respond properly according to its structurally designed.
The machine cannot think without men interferences, because men designs the machine to think for men. The same can be said about the calculator, it gives result much faster for men since men has preprogrammed the calculator.
The machine is designed by men whether Bit or QBit, thus is men who is asking the question and I presume if men assigned such preponderance notion for the machine, thus the machine will simply respond to what it has been assigned to; therefore, the answer is still within the realm of men intellectually.
In my opinion, a single molecule always be a molecule, but abundance of molecules can transform into something that is very perceptive to the mind of men. The same can be said about light(s) that is(are) traveling through a slit or slits, thus a single light would remain to be a particle, but abundance of lights can be transformed into wave where the mind of men can be captured into a wave forms.
It is like asking a question about what's the difference between molecule and molecule(s).
What are they trying to ask his holiness? Are they referring to lights shining through two slits versus one slit and the result of those lights are in a wave form versus a single light into a particle? I am very confuse. My translation is that more lights flowing through many slits will most definitely develop a wave, but a single light will just be a single spec of particle.
What A.Z. states @ 4.20 – 4.30 here, needs to tested……….. Reality is Reality. What he may have hinted at is that Knowledge is as fundamental as Material Reality. This is where it gets tricky. If we have to test let us say as a corrollary, that Knowledge (by which one gathers he means Information), Should be as fundamental as Immaterial Reality. The later is talked about in Eastern thoughts. Knowledge is nothing but memory. Memory may be inbuilt in Consciousness, provided there is disk to record. So the question is: whether Consciousness exists outside life forms. IF YES, then what may be fundamental is not knowledge neither reality (both are subjective, based on a randomly evolved disk) but is Consciousness itself. But then where lies the disk?????
humans need more dicussions.
isn't it every observation has an equal and opposite observation ?
loved this discussion, very interesting.. Thank you!
These are People who realy cares for the World …if not much well atleast ….some by Science and some by Religion to figure out how to help to study or to correct Right ? Respect
Is that Richard Gere in the back?
It sounds to me like we can have instantaneous communication between quantum computers and crack any codes, Is that correct ?
Spirituality and Physics in Harmony, thanks Planck, Heisenberg et al.!

Eine wunderbare Gruppe von Menschen !!!
