Entanglement and Synchronicity. Second, Greatly Expanded Edition.: Carl Jung's synchronicity and the surprising properties of quantum physics. Mind and matter meet.
About this ebook
Entanglement is at the heart of one of the greatest mysteries of modern physics. However, it brings to mind another concept, much older but equally provocative: Carl Gustav Jung's synchronicity. Jung, a psychiatrist and founder of analytical psychology, described synchronicity as a 'meaningful coincidence', a non-causal link between different events that seem to resonate in a kind of secret harmony. Could we perhaps venture to see quantum entanglement as a surprising scientific echo of Jung's insights?
This book moves between science and philosophy, between empirical data and surprising insights. It offers a reflection that goes beyond the boundaries of the tangible, into fascinating and unexplored territories. The author invites the reader to do what great minds have always known how to do: observe the strangeness of the ordinary to glimpse the extraordinary.
Today, while laboratories provide us with mathematical proof of incredible wonders, our human instinct drives us to ask whether there is something more. Perhaps, as the great physicist David Bohm suspected, there is an implicit order in the universe that we cannot yet fully understand. Bohm suggested that non-locality, a fundamental principle of quantum physics, could be a key to reinterpreting the connection between mind and cosmos.
Almost inevitably, when we talk about quantum entanglement, we enter the realm of metaphysics. Some scholars (or, perhaps, it would be more appropriate to say "some enlightened minds") have glimpsed in quantum fields the basis for explaining extrasensory perceptions. It is a slippery frontier, to be sure, but not without its charms.
It is no coincidence that in many mystical traditions, from East to West, there are references to energy fields that connect all things. Think of the concepts of "prana" in Indian philosophy or "qi" in Chinese philosophy. Quantum physics, in some ways, seems to suggest that such ideas are not just moral poetry, but fragments of a physical truth yet to be deciphered.
In an age when technological disenchantment seems to reign supreme and nothing amazes us anymore, a topic such as entanglement reminds us that mystery has not been erased. The mystery has merely been moved forward: it has passed from myths and legends to laboratory experiments. Perhaps this is because, as quantum entanglement suggests, there is no longer a "here" and a "there," a "before" and an "after." Perhaps everything is connected. And in this connection, perhaps, we can rediscover the wonder we had lost.
About the author
Bruno Del Medico, born in 1946 in Sabaudia (Italy), worked in IT and software development throughout his career. He then devoted himself to the study and dissemination of the most current scientific theories, such as quantum theory in its metaphysical sense. Bruno Del Medico is currently the author of numerous works published by Edizioni PensareDiverso. Bruno Del Medico's work stands out from traditional narratives in the field of technical sciences for its critical, independent, and unconventional approach. Instead of limiting himself to standard interpretations or general consensus on purely scientific issues, Bruno Del Medico explores alternative perspectives that often go against the grain, questioning commonly accepted assumptions. A distinctive feature of his works is their ability to weave science, ethics, and philosophy into an open dialogue that encourages readers to think for themselves and consider the deeper implications of technological and scientific innovations.
