"Quantum Mythology: How Physics Shapes Our Myths and Legends" explores the intriguing connections between quantum mechanics and ancient myths, suggesting that many legends may have been early interpretations of phenomena now understood through quantum principles, bridging the gap between science and mythology. The driving idea behind the book "Quantum Mythology: How Physics Shapes Our Myths And Legends" is to explore the intricate interplay between mythology and quantum theory. The book aims to demonstrate how ancient wisdom and modern quantum concepts are interconnected, presenting a narrative that intertwines human imagination with the realities of quantum mechanics. By examining phenomena such as wave-particle duality, entanglement, and superposition through the lens of mythology and mysticism, the book seeks to offer a profound understanding of how physics shapes our myths and legends and to reframe our perception of nature and reality. Key Takeaways The concept of quantum mythology integrates ancient myths with quantum mechanics to reveal fundamental truths about existence. Quantum mechanics phenomena such as superposition, entanglement, and wave-particle duality mirror themes found in global mythologies. Ancient myths often depicted cosmic creation, interconnectedness, and non-locality, which resonate with modern quantum theories. The interdisciplinary approach fosters a holistic understanding of reality, blending empirical science with symbolic mythological interpretations. The integration of quantum principles with mythology prompts a reevaluation of time, space, consciousness, and reality itself. This synthesis has practical implications for technology, such as quantum computing and communication, as well as cultural and ethical considerations. Preserving and revitalizing ancient myths through the lens of quantum mechanics can promote cultural appreciation and global unity.

This book offers a big-picture look at the evolution of Western thought on technology by focusing on seven periods when there was a paradigm shift in perspective. A techno-myth is used to identify, shape and capture the beliefs of each era. Drawing from philosophy, literature, social sciences, physical sciences, mythology, and cultural history, the book brings to life the ideas of the great thinkers and the ancient myths. What their message tells us is that we have failed to learn from the mistakes of the past. We have allowed technology to take control of our lives and narrowed our thinking to a one-dimensional, materialistic perspective. We have become prisoners in Max Weber’s metaphoric iron cage. But they also tell us how to free ourselves by humanizing technology so that humans are in control, which is explored in depth in this book.

Scientists regularly employ historical narrative as a rhetorical tool in their communication of science, yet there's been little reflection on its effects within scientific communities and beyond. Science Between Myth and History begins to unravel these threads of influence. The stories scientists tell are not just poorly researched scholarly histories, they are myth-histories, a chimeric genre that bridges distinct narrative modes. This study goes beyond polarizing questions about who owns the history of science and establishes a common ground from which to better understand the messy and lasting legacy of the stories scientists tell. It aims to stimulate vigorous conversation among science practitioners, scholars, and communicators. Scientific myth-histories undoubtedly deliver value, coherence, and inspiration to their communities. They are tools used to broker scientific consensus, resolve controversies, and navigate power dynamics. Yet beyond the explicit intent and rationale behind their use, these narratives tend to have great rhetorical power and social agency that bear unintended consequences. This book unpacks the concept of myth-history and explores four case studies in which scientist storytellers use their narratives to teach, build consensus, and inform the broader public. From geo-politically informed quantum interpretation debates to high-stakes gene-editing patent disputes, these case studies illustrate the implications of storytelling in science. Science Between Myth and History calls on scientists not to eschew writing about their history, but to take more account of the stories they tell and the image of science they project. In this time of eroding common ground, when many find themselves dependent on, yet distrustful of scientific research, this book interrogates the effects of mismatched, dissonant portraits of science.

When it comes to science, the evidence should rule the day. Roger I. Parker II puts myths revolving around physics to the test in the third edition of Myth Busting Physics. Get answers to questions such as: Is time a fourth dimension? Can quantum fluctuations in a vacuum exist? Do photons have mass? Is there anything outside the observable universe? Can anything be colder than absolute zero? Parker also examines why some physicists believe they can get something from nothing and how the Pauli Exclusion Principle provides a way to either prevent time travel or to make it very difficult. Other topics include the Casimir Effect, the large-scale structure of our universe, the relationship between thermal radiation (light) and the warping of space (gravity), why temperature fluctuations and not mass determine the fate of the universe, and our concept of the universe. Join the author as he takes a closer look at the universe to show what is true—and what we’ve gotten all wrong.

Nobody doubted that atoms were real once atomic energy was developed, but in the early 20th-century and before their existence was widely doubted. Defending Materialism follows the political and theoretical background of this intense philosophical controversy, defending atomistic and mechanical materialism against idealist paradigms. These accounts range from the explicit idealism criticised by Lenin and Einstein to the implicit Hegelian idealism that influenced Soviet dialectical materialism. Following several key threads, the authors trace how the idea of atoms has changed over the centuries, how ideology has influenced both sides of the idealism/materialism divide, and how the nature of time in physics, biology and human society can give a fresh view of historical materialism. Starting from the origins of materialism in ancient Greek thought and moving through its revival in Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin gives a full picture of the links between the Marxist tradition and the 'coarse materiality' to which the worlds of science and philosophy have found themselves both subscribed and averse.

If we want nonscientists and opinion-makers in the press, the lab, and the pulpit to take a fresh look at the relationship between science and religion, Ronald Numbers suggests that we must first dispense with the hoary myths that have masqueraded too long as historical truths. Until about the 1970s, the dominant narrative in the history of science had long been that of science triumphant, and science at war with religion. But a new generation of historians both of science and of the church began to examine episodes in the history of science and religion through the values and knowledge of the actors themselves. Now Ronald Numbers has recruited the leading scholars in this new history of science to puncture the myths, from Galileo’s incarceration to Darwin’s deathbed conversion to Einstein’s belief in a personal God who “didn’t play dice with the universe.” The picture of science and religion at each other’s throats persists in mainstream media and scholarly journals, but each chapter in Galileo Goes to Jail shows how much we have to gain by seeing beyond the myths.

In this sweeping survey, acclaimed science writers Paul Davies and John Gribbin provide a complete overview of advances in the study of physics that have revolutionized modern science. From the weird world of quarks and the theory of relativity to the latest ideas about the birth of the cosmos, the authors find evidence for a massive paradigm shift. Developments in the studies of black holes, cosmic strings, solitons, and chaos theory challenge commonsense concepts of space, time, and matter, and demand a radically altered and more fully unified view of the universe.

Long ago the ancestors of the Greeks, Romans, and Hindus were one people living on the Eurasian steppes. At the core of their religion was the "shamanic trance," a natural state but one in which consciousness achieves a profound level of inner awareness. Over the course of millennia, the Indo-Europeans divided and migrated into Europe and the Indian subcontinent. The knowledge of shamanic trance retreated from everyday awareness and was carried on in the form of myths and distilled into spiritual practices--most notably in the Indian tradition of yoga. J. Nigro Sansonese compares the myths of Greece as well as those of the Judeo-Christian tradition with the yogic practices of India and concludes that myths are esoteric descriptions of what occurs within the human body, especially the human nervous system, during trance. In this light, the myths provide a detailed map of the shamanic state of consciousness that is our natural heritage. This book carries on from the works of Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell to show how the portrayal of consciousness embodied in myth can be extended to a reappraisal of the laws of physics; before they are descriptions of the world, these laws--like myths--are descriptions of the human nervous system.
