by Joseph M. Higgins and Chuck Bergman In 1927, while working at the Niels Bohr Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University of Copenhagen, German physicist Werner Heisenberg published a groundbreaking theory of quantum mechanics that provided a new way of thinking about atomic interactions,...

Quantum Physics and Biology

03/07/2013 11:49
by Joseph M. Higgins and Chuck Bergman Quantum physics and biology are two fields of scientific study that have often been viewed as unrelated branches of knowledge. Quantum physics describes the world of microscopic phenomena, a world of inanimate electrons, photons, and atoms. It assumes a...

Quantum Physics: Evidence of the Afterlife

03/07/2013 11:17
by Joseph M. Higgins and Chuck Bergman What most believe to be commonsense reality is based on an implied belief that the things that are experienced in the world are not only real, but that they exist objectively and independently of ourselves. You assume that what you're able to see, hear, taste,...

Quantum Physics: David Bohm
