How will
future historians view the 20th century?
Have you ever wondered how future historians will view the science of the twentieth century? Ours will be remembered as the strange century when in spite of all the technological progress, most scientists denied the existence of a quantum intelligence at work in nature. The twentieth century may well be called the age of the materialists. True, a few scientists did persist in pondering how non-local events could take place, but were often derided by the majority. John Bell mathematically proved his theory of the reality of a universe
in which all events and objects of the universe are inter-connected and
are aware of and respond to all the others change of state. Sir Arthur
Eddington said, "When the electron vibrates, the universe shakes." Alain
Aspect's and Nicolas Gisin's experiments verified the Bell theorem and
David Bohm worked extensively with the implications of Bell's theorem.
So a few scientists, many of them reluctantly, began to suppose that an
"invisible field" holds the totality of the universe together. This was
a field that couldn't be measured but had the property of knowing what
is happening everywhere at once. Some scientists even went as far as to
speculate that this "invisible field" was similar to the underlying intelligence
in DNA, and both were very like the mind itself. These far-reaching theorists
recognized that our minds are able to create their own quantum reality.
This is what led Eddington to believe "the stuff of the world is mind-stuff."
