The uncollapsing theorem proposes that the possibility exists that a person in a deep meditative state can cause matter to assume a quantum superposition of states. Referring to such a phenomenon, one would say that a quantum wavefunction had become "uncollapsed". Quantum superposition is the application of superposition principle to quantum mechanics. ...
This article is included to provide an insight into highly speculative physical thinking on the problem of consciousness, it is an extension of the philosophy of consciousness and should be read as ideas or speculation, not facts.
This uncollapsing theorem posits that a person who achieves a brain wave frequency of about 3.5 Hz while awake (delta wave state), is potentially capable of uncollapsing a quantum wavefunction. People experiencing such an altered state of consciousness, report a sense of unity with the world. It is believed that a person in such a state can develop the ability to direct matter-energy into a higher state of quantum potential. Electroencephalography is the neurophysiologic exploration of the electrical activity of the brain by the application of electrodes to the scalp. ...
A delta wave is a large, slow brain wave associated with deep sleep. ...
The phrase altered state of consciousness was coined in the 1970s and describes induced changes in ones mental state, almost always temporary. ...
Some Buddhists describe two states of consciousness, the small mind and the big mind. The small mind is that of the ego; big mind is that which is open up to the infinite. It is conjectured that the collapse of quantum mechanical wavefunction that leads to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle happens when the observer is in the small mind. It is conjectured that the uncollapse of the wavefunction happens when the observer is in the big mind. The big mind may be facilitated by achieving a delta brainwave state. In quantum physics, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, sometimes called the Heisenberg indeterminacy principle, expresses a limitation on accuracy of (nearly) simultaneous measurement of observables such as the position and the momentum of a particle. ...
There have been studies where people are able to influence experiments with the mind. The Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research Lab is one such group conducting such experiments. The experimental subjects who are able to influence the experiments may be in the delta brainwave state. The Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) program was established at Princeton University in 1979 by Robert G. Jahn, then Dean of the School of Engineering and Applied Science, to pursue rigorous scientific study of the interaction of human consciousness with sensitive physical devices, systems, and processes common to contemporary engineering...
This theorem is testable in the Popperian sense. One could conduct an experiment to see whether a person in a 3.5 Hz brainwave state can change the quantum state of an experimental apparatus into a quantum superposition.
