Science confirms spiritual traditions

  Scheme of the experimental setup for measuring holograms of single photons at the Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw. (The experiment started with a pair of photons with flat wavefronts and perpendicular polarizations. The different polarization made it possible to separate the photons in a crystal and…

  At the intersection of science and spirituality is the pineal gland, a small ductless gland in the center of the human brain. Hundreds of years ago it was dubbed ‘The Seat of the Soul’ by French philosopher, mathematician and scientist, René Descartes, who observed that spiritual, visionary or transcendental…

  The bonds you form with other people over the course of your life are transformative. In fact, positive bonds that you form later in life actually have the potential to repair damage from unhealthy attachment early on in your life. Attachment is a defining characteristic of mammals. Thus, research on the…

  It has been written about before, over and over again, but cannot be emphasized enough. The world of quantum physics is an eerie one, one that sheds light on the truth about our world in ways that challenge the existing framework of accepted knowledge. What we perceive as our physical material world, is really not…

Quantum mechanics has discovered that ‘empty’ space is not empty, and that it’s full of energy. Can this energy be utilized and drawn upon to provide power and replace our energy industry? What would be the implications of new energy technology that allowed everyone on the planet access to clean…
