| NOTES ON QUANTUM PHYSICS By C.E.Chaffin |
Scientists who have studied time travel are becoming convinced that the idea of
traveling back and forth within our own time continuum makes no sense. This is
because time does not flow. Humans invented the measuring of time, and the
events that happen day to day do not register in relation to the passage of time.
Time does not pass! We pass! Past and future do not constitute a location. They
are important only because of the human measurement of time.
Since the advent of quantum physics and quantum mechanics scientists now
speak of something called a “multiverse” … a newer way of looking at the
universe as defined by quantum physics.
But, what is quantum physics? To understand it one needs to grasp an
understanding of how this kind of thinking came about.
Before the turn of the last century physicists believed that energy, as in light or
magnetism or electricity, took the form of constantly flowing waves of energy. But
there seemed to be a glitch in the theory. To illustrate the glitch, scientists
discovered that by shining a bright light directly onto a flat metal plate the result
was a tiny, but measurable, amount of electrical current. This discovery did not
jibe with the wave theory of the character of energy.
Enter a scientist named MAX PLANCK.
Other scientists had already ventured opinions on the subject, but Max Planck (b.
1858, d. 1947), a German physicist who studied at the Universities of Munich
and Kiel, then became Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of
Berlin, (1889 – 1928), where his work concentrated on the “second law of
thermodynamics and blackbody radiation”. He received the Nobel Prize for his
work in 1918. Planck also discovered something called “quantum of action,”
which became known as “Planck’s Constant.” Planck came to support Albert
Einstein’s “theory of relativity,” but disagreed with the indeterministic, statistical
world view championed by fellow well known scientist Neils Bohr.
Planck made a special study of the phenomena of the relationship between the
amount of light shown on a flat plate (described earlier) and the amount of
electricity produced, and determined that energy was not a constant wave.
Instead, it seemed to be composed of individual units, which he called “quanta.”
This event is considered to be the beginning of quantum physics.
Later, Einstein showed that the photo-electric effect that Planck originally studied
could be easily explained by assuming that light was actually composed of
particles, which he called “photons.” These photons of light struck the metal plate
and ejected “electrons” which produced the electricity. Mathematically, the theory
fit nicely into Planck’s research and verified his work.
It was only a short step before physicists realized that all energy was composed
of particles of energy. All matter in the universe was now known to be particles of
energy. Atoms were now known as being composed of heavy particles in the
nucleus, with lighter electrons orbiting around them.
The particles were known as discrete units, or quanta. The theory backing the
concept became known as “Quantum theory.”
The major problem in quantum physics is that physicists now know the particles
to be “non-orderly.” They do not behave in such a way as to be 100%
predictable. Sometimes the particles behave like particles, and sometimes like
waves of energy.
Making the particles behave is a major task in quantum-theory … but the field of
quantum science is understood well enough to have produced many useful
things used by society. Things like supermarket scanners, lasers, even computer
chips are the children of quantum science.
There is one other thing quantum science has done for us.
By studying quantum physics, we have learned that it is on this level, the very
basic level of creation itself, that the mind of Yahweh dwells and works within the
Creation.
For those of you who wonder why I have written this lesson on quantum physics,
and whether it even comes close to the stated purpose of CONTACT!!! I refer
you to the previous short paragraph. If it weren’t for quantum physics, we would
not know as much about the workings of the Mind of Yahweh Almighty.
