Yeah kind of science fiction-like, but so were cell phones, computers, and robots. Quantum particles are always interacting. We would have to be able get through the interference but it could possible.

Hmm....good point.

I gotta say, quantum mechanics is a very interesting branch of physics, and the possibilities are limitless.

This is why I like science so much, it works, it makes sense, and when used the right way it does wonders.

wickabee, that is strange the quote has me on it, but it is something alex posted

i figured it was a set up!!!!!! i know how you work!!! dang canadians!!

We prefer to be capitalized. It's a respect thing.

I will throw this out there for you guys. The possibility of a life after our bodies die using just science

so if the body consists of energy and energy can be neither created nor destroyed then can it not be argued the following? Upon death energy in some conscious state leaves the body and disperses itself into the universe becoming one with the all. And that ones ability to control this energy can result in either a total absorption into the cosmos, or if owning to a stronger constitution can reform in some state to appear as some ghostly figure (details depending on ones ability to pull the energy together to do so clarity, ability to manipulate objects and such). It could also be looked upon as ones soul surviving on afterwards in a way.

Somewhat, but I disagree on a couple of points.
Once energy goes to a low state(brain waves going out into the universe), it takes more energy to reform them. An intelligent being would have to be doing this. This does not mean a god.
Second, quantnum particles interact, they do not communicate. You would have to be able to take a "snapshot" of the quantum field to reverse enigneer with our technology right now. Once again,does not require a god.
Third, quantum mechanics is our best understanding of how the universe works now. It is pretty close, but does not describe how gravity works on the quantum level, yet. It might be incomplete. So my ruminations about the possbility are wrong until scientifical proven.
Random particles going to a higher energy state to cause a "ghost" violates the laws of physics.
There is no evidence for a god, so until there is evidence. God can not do any of these things.

I do not know how God got into this...... I made no reference to one. I think the theory is plausible, maybe not concrete but plausible
