Is there life after death? Have you ever reflected on this time-old question, which has tortured human mind for millennia? I did, many times. I would like to begin my article by saying that I’m not a religious person. At the same time, I believe that our existence is not a barely physical one. There [...]
Leading neuroscientists all agree that the last great frontier in modern quantum physics lies in the area of consciousness. Two sides of the debate exist between reductionists, who seek to explain consciousness as a product of sufficiently complex systems, such as the brain, and fundamentalists, who assert the idea that consciousness is not the product [...]
It’s difficult for us, as individual human beings, with the feeling of distinctness and separateness we have, to comprehend that everything is interconnected. Indeed, we're so alone, at times, in this physical form which seems to differentiate each of us from the rest - where all our fortunes seem to be varied and changing. We feel like [...]
From the most ancient times, human beings have used spiritual beliefs to understand the world. While these beliefs have often been dismissed as irrational and untrue, science is recently discovering that there may be something to our most profound spiritual beliefs after all. 1. Time is an illusion According to Buddhist philosophy, there is no [...]
Is it possible that a conscious Higher Being created our universe? Who are we? Where are we? What is the Universe? Who made it and why? Even if you are a religious person, the religion you have faith in doesn't provide all the answers to these questions. For thousands of years, humans used religions to [...]
Superstitions are among issues that have long been perceived to have some unrevealed secrets as their origins. With the progress of science and scientific methods, some old superstitions have faded away for not having any element of reality, while some others are still subjects of debate. The main question is how real superstitions are. Are they [...]
The nature of human consciousness is one of the most challenging yet less understood problems in cognitive science. As Ken Palmer, the psychology professor, and director of the Cognitive Neuroscience Program at Northwestern once remarked: The debate about the neural basis of consciousness rages because there is no widely accepted theory about what happens in [...]
One of the greatest challenges of the modern astrophysics is an explanation about the origin (or formation) and evolution of the universe. This issue has been a heated source of discussions during the past centuries and even before since man began to learn about the universe. Following Einstein’s general theory of relativity in 1917 about [...]
