What Are Quantum Physics and the Quantum Realm?

Quantum physics has gained recent popularity thanks to films like Ant-Man and Doctor Strange and the overwhelming popularity of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Yet, quantum physics is more than a film studio's fantastical invention. This science actually exists and offers some fascinating insights into our universe.

What Is Quantum Physics?

Though it may seem like a modern innovation, the science of quantum physics has been around for more than a century. Quantum mechanics explains how matter and light behave at the atomic scale. Quantum physics tells us that everything in the universe has both a particle nature and a wave nature simultaneously. The way a particle appears depends entirely upon when and how it's observed. Thus, our very observations are instrumental in creating the reality around us.

What Is the Quantum Realm?

The quantum realm is a term created and popularized through the fictional Marvel cinematic universe. Quantum physicist Dr. Sumanta Tewari explains that the real quantum realm is any place where quantum mechanics are valid. Thus, we exist in the quantum realm right now. An article in LSU Research magazine explained the quantum realm more as a hypothetical space where particles can exist in two states or places at once.

How Does Quantum Physics Explain Spirituality?

Quantum physics and spirituality intersect in some interesting ways. Quantum physics seems to support Buddhism's tenet that nothing has inherent existence. Meanwhile, the Christian Bible tells us in Mark 11:23 that one who truly believes what he says could command a mountain to throw itself into the ocean. According to quantum physics, it's the act of observing a particle that determines its state and location. Thus, your belief in a particular situation may have the power to actually manifest it.

Is Time Travel Possible in Quantum Physics?

Quantum physics actually butts heads with most theories of time travel because of its unpredictability. To achieve time travel through most hypotheses, you would need a closed time-like curve where time loops back on itself, which would not exist according to quantum physics.

How To Use Quantum Physics in Everyday Life

You don't have to be a scientist to work with quantum physics. You can incorporate some of the fascinating aspects of quantum physics into your daily life simply by looking at the world through a new, more enlightened lens. Understand that the things you can't directly perceive may exist in many different states, or even different realms. Until you observe a thing, the possibilities for it are endless. You may in fact be able to influence the state of matter with your mere observation and thought processes.

If you're intrigued by the idea of a hypothetical quantum realm and the possibility of influencing our own quantum realm, consider speaking with a psychic to explore these ideas further. Talented psychics, such as clairvoyants, are often skilled at tapping into this mysterious part of the universe.
