Jim Jarmusch Quotes

Entanglement can best be understood as this: When subatomic matter is in a process together, subsequently the subatomic particles go apart from each other and go across the universe. When they do this, they will remain entangled. That means if you do something to one, the other one responds immediately, instantaneously.

It would seem that I, who never could make much sense of physics when I was at school, have now gained a strong sense of Einsteinian space-time. I am free of the nimbyism of now, and feel a strong kinship with both the dead and the unborn.

The world is not made up of particles and waves and beams of light with a definite existence. Instead, the world works in a much more exploratory way. It is aware of all the possibilities at once and trying them out all the time. That is a hard thing to picture.

For me, consciousness is non-local, not limited to the body, and can exist independent of it.

I think it's science and physics are just starting to learn from all these experiments. These experiments have been carried out hundreds and hundreds of times in all sorts of ways that no physicist really questions the end point. I think that these experiments are very clearly telling us that consciousness is limitless and the ultimate reality.

There certainly is a tension between the relativity of simultaneity and non-locality in quantum theory, but it's not strong enough to add up to a falsification of either side by itself.

Old Newtonian physics claimed that things have an objective reality separate from our perception of them. Quantum physics, and particularly Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, reveal that, as our perception of an object changes, the object itself literally changes.

Spooky action at a distance.

Quantum entanglement is a very intriguing issue, but it is not impossible.

Physics should represent a reality in time and space, free from spooky action at a distance.

If physics leads us today to a world view which is essentially mystical, it returns, in a way, to its beginning, 2,500 years ago... This time, however, it is not only based on intuition, but also on experiments of great precision and sophistication, and on a rigorous and consistent mathematical formalism.

Bell's theorem...proves that quantum theory requires connections that appear to resemble telepathic communication.

Bells theorem dealt a shattering blow to Einsteins position by showing that the conception of reality as consisting of separate parts, joined by local connections, is incompatible with quantum theory... Bells theorem demonstrates that the universe is fundamentally interconnected, interdependent, and inseparable.

Isolated material particles are abstractions, their properties being definable and observable only through their interaction with other systems .

We are not at the end but at the beginning of a new physics. But whatever we find, there will always be new horizons continually awaiting us.

Quantum entanglement allows you to send information faster than light, which upset Einstein. But Einstein has the last laugh. The information you send on quantum entanglement is random, useless information. So Einsein still has the last laugh.

When you're dancing the mystical dance of the molecules, you're not the one who's leading.

When I hear of Schrödinger's cat, I reach for my pistol.

I admired Bohr very much. We had long talks together, long talks in which Bohr did practically all the talking.

If I understand Dirac correctly, his meaning is this: there is no God, and Dirac is his Prophet.

Space-time-causation, or name-and-form, is what is called Maya.

Research at the subatomic quantum level reveals an invisible connection between all particles and all members of a given species. This oneness is being demonstrated in remarkable scientific discoveries. The findings show that physical distance, what we think of as empty space, does not preclude a connection by invisible forces. Obviously there exist invisible connections between our thoughts and our actions. We do not deny this, even though the connection is impervious to our senses.

our present picture of physical reality, particularly in relation to the nature of time, is due for a grand shake up

If we are going t stick to this damned quantum-jumping, then I regret that I ever had anything to do with quantum theory.

Qu. 31. Have not the small Particles of Bodies certain Powers, Virtues or Forces, by which they act at a distance, not only upon the Rays of Light for reflecting, refracting and reflecting them, but also upon one another for producing a great part of the Phænomena of Nature?
