I agree. I suspect the whole “red shift = expansion” concept will be proven wrong at some point, which causes many other theories to fail too.

There are scientific theories that reject the Big Bang and postulate an infinite universe without a beginning. The story isn’t finished yet!

Considering these comments, however, I didn’t realize the Big Bang was being questioned at all. But I’ve always thought that if God has always existed as the Creator, then his creation should always have existed, too. The Big Bang always seemed a little problematic to me because of this. I had to wonder, what would have existed BEFORE the Big Bang? A Creator without a creation seems somehow impossible.

This blend requires art as ell as science. I appreciate them from both directions. Ty.

I am not a great student of all his work, however I do know he was an advocate for the so called hidden variable theories. These seemed to have been disproven via testing of Bell’s theorem (at least the local versions). I personally am satisfied with the Copenhagen interpretation and think that and the non-physical and even non-deterministic part of it actually fits well with Baha’u’llah’s writings. (I spent a bit of time on this in an article on medium https://hackernoon.com/plato-modern-physics-and-bahau-llah-ee3f8740fddc#.7u0pp84dd) I do know he was also very interested in the problem of consciousness and thought there was some link to QM..on this point he may be right.

Yes I read the article in question. Actually the LHC produces Ghosts all the time, they are called virtual particles and violate energy conservation on the level permitted by the uncertainty principal..but of course he is talking about consciousness. My short response to that is if we are ready to accept that a purely mathematical/intellectual object which permeates all space gives rise to an electron is it so stupid to believe something similar gives rise to consciousness?

Dave Bohm, ( who worked, I believe at the University of Haifa ),
on some of these matters? Pilot wave etc,, especially ideas
from Undivided Universe, and Wholeness And Implicate Order

I hope I can ask how you would respond to Brian Cox’s recent assertion that there is no such thing as ghosts (and therefore spiritual bodies) because if there were the LHC would have found them? My physics is far more fascination than deep understanding but is it possible for a physical machine to really find a non-physical reality? When we, as Baha’is, talk about the spirtual world I don’t see how that can be discovered by a machine which exists in only 4 dimensions but is there a better scientific explanation of why the LHC would or would not be able to detect any non-physical bodies? Is it a possible for a future post to address this question?
