The Dalai Lama and Quantum Physics (2007)

"Maybe knowledge is as fundamental, or even more fundamental than reality." (A.Z.) The austrian quantum physicist Anton Zeilinger explains to the Dalai Lama some basics of quantum physics and some results of the last 9 years of experiments in quantum mechanics. Themes: Atomism, randomness, the phenomenon, interdependence, the role of the observer in quantum physics and buddhism (Parts 1-3). Explanation of the quantum computer (Parts 4-6). Dialogue Leaders: Anton Zeilinger and Arthur Zajonc. Questions from Matthieu Ricard and Wolf Singer.
Excerpt of: "Mind and Life XIV" - Dialogues on "The Universe in a Single Atom". Day 1 Afternoon Session (April 9th, 2007)
(Held at His Holiness the Dalai Lama's residence in Dharamsala, India)
In this video the sequences with longer translations to the Dalai Lama and the conversations in Tibetan (together about 20 minutes) are not included. The version without cuts is available here (Day 1 pm):

Day 1 am (with introduction from the Dalai Lama):
• Mind and Life XIV - Da...
Anton Zeilinger (born on 20 May 1945 in Ried im Innkreis, Austria) is an Austrian quantum physicist. He is currently professor of physics at the University of Vienna, previously University of Innsbruck. He is also the director of the Vienna branch of the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information IQOQI at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. Zeilinger has been called a pioneer in the new field of quantum information and is renowned for his realization of quantum teleportation with photons (Source: Wikipedia).
In addition to being a scientific autobiography, the Dalai Lama's book "The Universe in a Single Atom: the Convergence of Science and Spirituality" highlights those issues he feels are most important in the "convergence of science and spirituality." These issues and questions form the focus of the Mind and Life XIV meeting, and become the foundation on which a group of scientists develop a deep dialogue with the Dalai Lama and other Buddhist scholar-practitioners.
The conference was organized by the Mind and Life Institute (www.mindandlife.org) and the Office of His Holiness the Dalai Lama (www.dalailama.com).

Watching again in 2022. Congrats to Physicist Zeilinger, Alain Aspect, John F. Clauser for the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics!

[@Lal570]

How do you come across this video 😅 When I first watched it, I thought it's really weird for these group of man to discuss quantum physics here. But I really enjoy the conversation.That was way before the Nobel Prize 2022.

[@jimmyjasi-anti-descartes7088]

The next one would be to Shan Gao from Orch Or team! He who has mechanism fir Telepathy!

[@jimmyjasi-anti-descartes7088]

Reality is objective but Counsciousness is Quantum and goes away under anesthesia and coma! Stuart Hameroff and Antonio Damasio already proven that this year! kzbin.info/www/bejne/haCnmmtra9x_hq8 kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZPOh4SNi6d7jbM

These are People who realy cares for the World ...if not much well atleast ....some by Science and some by Religion to figure out how to help to study or to correct Right ? Respect

[@ArztvomDienst]

Spirituality and Physics in Harmony, thanks Planck, Heisenberg et al.!

[@Simon-xi8tb]

"If I point it to you , not much light..." Unintentional joke, but audience burst in laughter :D

[@210950uarg]

Eine wunderbare Gruppe von Menschen !!!

[@languagefreeassangeteacher5338]

Fascinating!

[@justhuman6024]

humans need more dicussions.

[@gunatilakaherath8191]

Sri Lankan Buddhist scholars must be cable to participate in these discussions and make their comments for the benefit of the man kind.

[@Tio_Nel]

In several Mind and life conferences Buddhist from the different traditions have been participating

[@tseringlhamo9269]

loved this discussion, very interesting.. Thank you!

I go for refuge in Triple Gem 💐💐💐

[@alphaomega5923]

It is like asking a question about what's the difference between molecule and molecule(s).

[@alphaomega5923]

The machine is designed by men whether Bit or QBit, thus is men who is asking the question and I presume if men assigned such preponderance notion for the machine, thus the machine will simply respond to what it has been assigned to; therefore, the answer is still within the realm of men intellectually.

39:20 to 42:20 Hence, it is proved scientifically that someone created us and observing us. Prakriti - Primary Substance - the God - the Ultimate Reality. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prak%E1%B9%9Bti

[@allhdmoviescene1294]

no one created us.

[@alphaomega5923]

What are they trying to ask his holiness? Are they referring to lights shining through two slits versus one slit and the result of those lights are in a wave form versus a single light into a particle? I am very confuse. My translation is that more lights flowing through many slits will most definitely develop a wave, but a single light will just be a single spec of particle.

[@harrymac5229]

isn't it every observation has an equal and opposite observation ?

[@alphaomega5923]

In my opinion, a single molecule always be a molecule, but abundance of molecules can transform into something that is very perceptive to the mind of men. The same can be said about light(s) that is(are) traveling through a slit or slits, thus a single light would remain to be a particle, but abundance of lights can be transformed into wave where the mind of men can be captured into a wave forms.

[@StineWins]

It sounds to me like we can have instantaneous communication between quantum computers and crack any codes, Is that correct ?

[@ivoryn]

No

[@alphaomega5923]

Bit = 0,1 while Qbit = 0, and 1; From this instance, one can see a different between a classical Bit versus a Qbit and this could easily explain for men is responsible for this change and therefor, the machine, under Qbit, will also respond properly according to its structurally designed.

[@swipswapkovski9260]

Is that Richard Gere in the back?

[@QuantenPhysik1]

+Swip Swapkovski Yes, this is Richard Gere! He was at the Mind and Life-conferences several times. Under the title "Richard Gere Interview at Mind and Life XVIII" you can find a short interview with him on this matter.

[@tundemomcinovicdipl.ing.pe2359]

science is important but more important based on science is applied knowledge

[@PauloConstantino167]

36:45 the biologist thinks he has it all figured out....Hilarious he thinks that way when next to real physicists who have had trouble with it for ages. Incredible arrogance

[@ie8111]

I couldn't find his name in the infobox but my guess is that this is Wolf Singer. Your description fits

[@TheScmtnrider]

Ok. I get it. Einstein said it...and I'm paraphrasing here. *If you cannot explain your theory so it cannot be *fundamentally* understood by the barmaid? You do not understand it yourself." These guys sound like a physicist trying to explain how a bar magnet actually functions. They can't. Whatever they've got right, they are looking at it wrong. That's the problem with math as a discovery tool. It should only be used as an explanatory tool. Or else you end up trying to divide by zero or infinity. That the infinite number of monkeys typing will eventually write the Bible? That's pure fund raising. I suspect that's the self-evident message Dali Lama sent here... Let's see the computer. I suspect it doesn't exist in reality and no amount of funding can change that. Understanding always changes.

[@Wie24]

We are not made out of quantum phenomena. We are spirits. We are basically non-physical.

[@alphaomega5923]

The machine cannot think without men interferences, because men designs the machine to think for men. The same can be said about the calculator, it gives result much faster for men since men has preprogrammed the calculator.

[@bitcoinlighthouse]

Quantenphysik❤ fast so spannend wie Bitcoin😁

[@seanbdbd]

Dalai Lama acting like he has to do plus and minus again and trying to take it seriously!

[@cibriosis]

I am a drunken bastard...i have disc hernia..i hurt like hell....I am also fuck u mentally but are my values so far fetched...but..can;t all races get along toward a common goal..the goal is to explore and understand that which remains hidden...i realise not all can be quantum physicist..but..we must all accept the truth when it is presented in a logical manner by humans which do such things...so let us simply be graateful of these thinking men...for using the brain is the best thing any of us should and must be doing

[@cibriosis]

All problem can be solved by endless discussions..i mean it...just think about it..you have some raving racist face to face with other raving racist f a nother colour...religion..creed...fuck whatever..then you have between then physicists and psychologists.. men of logic and therefore neutral..wow..maybe if there are those people between people than normaly accept no understanding...mybe if will extdens so far...than maybe...those aparently extremists will understand that there is not so much difference...that their difference is actually a common ground to build upon...look i;m the sort of guy that seys an armugent and ask..why do you argue...what is the trouble with this person..what is your pain..what is it...no one is simply agressive..we are human..our humanity is more than this...it must be subdues to logic and thinking that goes beyond primitive thinking..that is the glory of this brain and of evolution...abstraction that lead to practical conclusion
