Editor's note:

Dr. Frederico Faggin is one of the heavyweight scientist-inventors of the 20th century. In 1971 he developed the first silicon chip, the microprocessor at the heart of all electronic devices today. He also produced the new touch-sceen technology.

Currently, he is writing, lecturing, and advocating what he feels to be an even more fundamental revolution in science - that consciousness, not matter, is the ground of all reality.

 

 

Is nature, and quantum mechanics, absurd?

Richard P. Feynman, Nobel laureate, physics:

“Quantum mechanics describes nature as absurd from the point of view of common sense. And yet it fully agrees with experiment. So I hope you can accept nature as she is - absurd.”

Irreducible, pg. 181:

Nature cannot be absurd. We are the ones who fail to understand the deeper reasons…

The absurdity does not come from Nature, but from the human prejudice that insists that the fundamental laws must be deterministic.

Editor's note: For the same reasons, materialists speak of quantum mechanics as "weird science." Consider the arrogance: materialists, they would posture, are the font of sanity in all they pronounce, but reality, things as they are, issue as defective and suspect..

 

 

Editor's last word:

See youtube interviews of Dr. Faggin, for example, here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14Q_W6H_nZk 

and

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5REKKkKZpY

wherein Dr. Faggin makes comments, such as, "The structure of matter is isomorphic [“equal form”] to the cognitive structure of consciousness, which can reflect itself [in matter]"; our "bodies reflect the accumulated learning of consciousness; matter is the ink with which consciousness writes its own self-knowing."
