Do Thoughts Create Reality? Quantum Biology Points us to the Answer (Part III)
An Article Series Exploring the Quantum Science Behind the Mind-body Connection
This article series delves into the question of whether our thoughts can create our reality. We are taking a look at this through exploring the world of quantum biology — the intersection of quantum physics and biology.
Quantum physics and biology have both been around for a long time. But the marriage of the two is a relatively new concept — one that presents a lot of hope in helping us understand ourselves better.
The book “Life on the Edge: The Coming Age of Quantum Biology” by scientists Johnjoe McFadden and Jim Al-Khalili is a wonderful introduction to this field. This article series follows the book, chapter by chapter, and applies its findings to the topic of how the quantum world could be responsible for our thoughts turning into things.
In the last article in this series, we discussed how clumps of matter turn into living organisms and how our attention to something collapses the wave function of existing possibilities. Today, we use some insights from Chapter 3 of “Life on the Edge” to look at the exact process that quantum physics plays inside our bodies. We then explore how we can use it to bring more peace, happiness, and joy into our lives.
