Cosmic Queries โ€“ Quantum Consciousness with Charles Liu

somehow, for example, have a maximum speed of light, right?

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Quantum Consciousness with Charles Liu

Speed of light is the maximum speed at which any object can move through space and time.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Quantum Consciousness with Charles Liu

Meanwhile, matter and energy, right?

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Quantum Consciousness with Charles Liu

Light is both a particle in a wave and its energy, which can be converted into matter, things like that.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Quantum Consciousness with Charles Liu

So light does seem to be some sort of linchpin in this sort of shotgun wedding that you was talking about.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Quantum Consciousness with Charles Liu

But it might not be shotgun.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Quantum Consciousness with Charles Liu

I'll venture this.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Quantum Consciousness with Charles Liu

Neil, you and I both know a very, very, very good guy named Jacob Berendis.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Quantum Consciousness with Charles Liu

Jacob is a preceptor at Harvard University.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Quantum Consciousness with Charles Liu

And he has recently.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Quantum Consciousness with Charles Liu

It's that same Jacob Baroness, yes.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Quantum Consciousness with Charles Liu

Wow.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Quantum Consciousness with Charles Liu

But yes, that Jacob, who is now a preceptor at Harvard, he has written and published some articles just recently.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Quantum Consciousness with Charles Liu

He's an example of one of the many scientists that's trying to tie these systems together.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Quantum Consciousness with Charles Liu

And what he is basically saying is that there is actually a mathematical way to bridge the

StarTalk Radio

general relativity, the macroscopic world, with quantum mechanics in the microscopic world.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Quantum Consciousness with Charles Liu

And it has to do with the math of statistical physics and chaos theory and the ability to take things which are uncertain and make them more certain.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Quantum Consciousness with Charles Liu

Not always certain, but more certain.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Quantum Consciousness with Charles Liu

And that pulled out from the microscopic to the macroscopic unites the two areas of physics

but we're not quite there yet.
