Subject: Physicists, Ghosts and Quantum Gravity


Reasons why physicists hate topics of ghosts or consciousness.

1. Physicists were reared and conditioned by Copenhangen
School that quantum mechanics is complete and we can know
everything about a physical system by the schroedinger equations
and the state vector reductions in a probabilistic manner. Bohr
taught them to think of wave function as merely calculational
device so physicists have tunnel vision with regards to what
is really QM. As a result. They failed to see the extended
functions of QM which can result if they would go beyond Bohr.
Even the more enhanced Everett, Bohm and Zurek updates
are still medieval so mainstream physicists still stick to
Copenhagen "Shut Up and Calculate" mental deadening
approach.

2. Consciousness or mind is a potentially lorentz violating
element because mind can only be lorentz invariant if it
can be located in a point in space and time. But mind can
occur at a region of space such as when remote viewing
is made.

(You see, Quantum Mechanics and Special, General
Relativity is very connected with the physics of ghosts
and consciousness)

3. Physicists have basic understanding of chemistry
and brain functions such that they automatically assume
the whole is composed of its parts such that a complex
human is made up of chemical and bio-nano components
working together as a whole. Yet they still can't explain
the source or mechanism of the awareness of being aware
(consciousness or qualia) although some physics renegade
like Penrose are hinting at a quantum computing aspect
of the brain.

The above is the reason for physicists incredible resistance
to things paranormal and on the topic of consciousness.
They almost hate the topics because they were reared
to avoid them.

The hope lies in quantum gravity because scientists can
only arrive at quantum gravity if they have to overhaul the
quantum and relativity aspect of nature. By overhauling it
meaning rethinking its foundation (yet still workable in the
classical limits), they would automatically arrive at the
nature of ghosts and paranormal.

But the problem is if they miss key ingredients which is
related to ghosts and the paranormal. How can they
even arrive at the physics of quantum gravity??!

We are in a catch 22 situation. Are things this hopeless?

Are their any arxiv papers that will be the light at the end
of the tunnel? Pls. mention the papers and authors.
