What If All Is An Illusion?: Dr Fred Alan Wolf at TEDxReset 2011

[@himanshukhinchi]

I am delighted to see how passionately he wants to share what he has learned

[@GA-Vic]

Pastor Wolf is my favorite evangelist, I've been watching him for 17 years now!🙏

[@ComplyMusicDubstepPromotion]

Genius! This guy is truly remarkable, his playful attitude is attest to that.

[@voidisyinyangvoidisyinyang885]

The secret of nonwestern music is noncommutative phase as shamanism. Fred Alan Wolf figured this out - so for males the left hand is yang and lower body is yin, while right hand is yin and upper body is yang. I have the free training secrets on my channel.

[@TJ-kk5zf]

"attests to it"

[@vasanthipillay]

The person who edited this video seems to think that we would like to see Fred's head more than the explanation of the slide ...

[@euclid901]

This was obviously an extremely compressed talk. He wasn't kidding when said, "I'm going to overload you". I'd recommend reading Wolf's books (or watching the interviews here on KZbin). He's actually a very good communicator - the problem with this talk was he had to pack too much in in too little time, to (I assume) an audience unfamiliar with consciousness-based interpretations of quantum theory - and his themes are the deepest subjects there are, the fundamental nature of reality...

[@MacEwanRobert]

Outstanding presentation.

[@Guevara47]

Are all quantum guys this crazy in real life too at this age. Its great to watch.

If consciousness can be defined as the intentional control of energy by thought, which I think is a good way to define our own consciousness, (our bodies would not survive without consciousness), then perhaps if all matter ends up being nothing but energy, the question then is whether energy can be self organizing. Or whether it needs conscious thought to organize and guide it. If something like that is true, then we are literally existing in a universe that is nothing more than the dreams and thoughts of god, which appear real, like an amazing light and energy show. And though we are just a passing expression of god's day dreams, we will all be cherished as unique individual expressions of that, before being reborn for our next adventure. Wow, amazing, beautiful. Possibly also quite wrong, but it makes sense to me at the moment. The other option, that life and the universe is the result of a random unintended accident, does not make logical sense to me. I think its safe to say that no one has ever witnessed complex integrated systems such as life coming into existence without an agent that includes conscious intent, whereas we see the same occurring every day through man's technology, thus intelligent design at our level is an absolute certainty. To believe that every particle in existence is consciously intended and guided explains everything, including the appearance of life in all its majesty. The underlying field of the universe could be conscious and umimaginably intelligent, and we were always meant to be here. I don't think anyone can presently provide a logical or evidence based argument against that theory. The problem is its not testable or falsifiable either. So believe what you want. For those who don't believe it even if it were to be true, their set of beliefs are part of their unique experience of life and were also always meant to be, so enjoy your own unique journey.

[@rockandmetalnewz]

It appears from symmetrical similarities in the cosmos and observations on earth show that energy is self organizing. Even the patterns of the magnetic fields show some organization. Energy seems to be self organizing look at the moment after the big bang, you can't get much disorganized than that, look how the Universe has organized itself and continues to become more organized.

Just because it’s an illusion doesn’t mean it’s not physically real

[@eyeam9305]

@@rockandmetalnewz he is saying that energy appears "self organizing" because that "self" is intelligent. Either that or there is an underlying intelligence organizing it. As he said it's not really falsifiable. Certainly not currently anyway

incredible! i know exactly what hes talking about

[@alexlarini7373]

[@CurveLearningNatures]

is it possible that our dream time is experienced inside this quantum field/the elsewhere? As we dream, we are not using the matter/body yet the dream time connects with the physical awake time. I do not understand anything beyond 10:13

[@Perfect-Sininen]

That is more explained by Dr. Jean Pierre Garnet Malek.

[@Stranglerxx77]

We are all living in a beautiful nightmare scenario and without darkness there is no light.........

[@yoshikisindhar8771]

I love Ted Talks. I HOPE THEY IMPROVE THEIR VEDIO EDITING so that the essence of such empowering talks remains. Tbt this poor editing and presentation hardly shown has lowered the level of Ted clarity. BUT Dr. QUANTAM saves the grace

[@rutrho890]

That would have blown my mind, but my mind is not physical...so I guess it just blew my brain instead.

[@casfox]

Every site or book has a different meaning for each angel number so it's not really a consensus unfortunately. I wish it were more clear cut.

[@darkkrenaissance42]

Isnt speed relative also? Relative to whatever other objects it has to compare to... We are already moving at great speed as the earth spins... as the earth hurtles thru space.... as our solar system hurtles thru the galaxy, etc

[@LaureanoLuna]

I'm unable to make any sense of this.

[@Kaliashdevi]

Mystics have been having 'white light' experiences which have been talked about and written down for ages. It's not uncommon for people to see the entire frame dissolve into light. But they (and myself included) cannot prove it nor do we know how it happens other than getting the (illusionary) personal self out of the way. Onto that screen of light, something is able to project illusionary yet seemingly tangible images that the senses confirm (believe) is real. The only thing that begins is the projector; the backdrop (pure light/awareness) is there eternally. We are not meant to get our head around this because as Fred once said, life is a mystery to enjoy - thank God (which really is Creation perse).

[@shehroonkhanz]

[@ALPACABOWLCOMPANY]

Another example of a smart person who cannot communicate ideas to a general audience.

[@martinrognlien89]

Physics is amazing! Physicists have discovered baffling truths about this strange universe we find our self in. However, the theories this man proposes is little more than wild speculation with no empirical support, and wrongly associated with previous discoveries. Don't delude yourselves.

[@andy6833-p4y]

Who was the producer? A blind, deaf special needs student? Absolutely horrible camera work......a five-year-old could figure out that when he says "here we see....." it should switch to the camera showing the presentation. But not here, no, stay with the camera filming the back of his head, that's obviously what the viewers want to see......

[@annprince4691]

Your say ing physicist does not know what he is talking about ,he being illustrative painting a. picture as to the Univers matter are created He said several times throughout that it was simplified. Just listen you may learn something

[@sethflix]

So it's all done with mirrors and is an illusion, huh? Sounds legit!

[@stan1027]

He starts with the presupposition that there IS a "god". Very clever, but quite irrelevant.

[@skmagicmalaysiajiksooebran4941]

ALLAH is The Unstarted First One who started everything Everything, when we discuss from reality point of view, is an illusion. Only ALLAH is The Real One. Everything has limits, thus it has weaknesses, thus it is dependent Everything depends on The One who KNOWS, WANTS & IS ABLE to create it. And ALLAH is unlike anything. HE is The Absolutely Perfect One.

[@skmagicmalaysiajiksooebran4941]

Creation is all illusion and ALLAH is the Absolute Reality Everything which starts with non existence, then temporary existence, then non existence is an illusion But ALLAH is AL HAYY (The Ever Living), AL HAQQ (The Reality)

[@JasonMerrill2001]

I consider myself well read in physics and science in general, and this speech makes no sense. He jumps all over the place with crazy ideas not backed up with any real observational data. He's not a good communicator as some here has said, he's animated and entertaining, which are only two components of a good communicator. A good communicator doesn't leave his audience confused, and certainly doesn't blast his audience with a firehose of half-explained ideas, even if the person is trying to compress your talk. I've seen him talk in other places online, and he's no more coherent than he is here. And calling himself Dr. Quantum? How egotistical is that marketing ploy? Call me unimpressed. I'd recommend watching physics presentations by philosophers and scientists like Jim Holt, Brian Greene, Max Tegmark, David Chalmers, Sean Carroll, Leonard Susskind, Stephen Weinberg, Lisa Randall, Brian Cox, and Roger Penrose. They may be less animated, but they are far better communicators.

[@VyasAnand]

'+Jason Merrill You clearly dont understand Physics and the "who's who of Physics" - Fred Alan Wolfe is talking about real ideas and is more in line with Einstein and Sir Roger Penrose (who were both mystics). This man has a ton of peer reviewed papers and is one of the best in the world. I actually have a Ph.D in physics and this is a great talk. TED does not just invite anyone and publish there talks, and they do. What exactly do you have a problem with? The Speed of Light being "timeless"

[@JasonMerrill2001]

+Anand Vyas again, where is the observational data to back up what he says? Science is based on observational data. Philosophy is based only on ideas. This is philosophical, not based on science. Peer reviewed or not.

[@VyasAnand]

Jason Merrill Ys thats true, it is Philosophy as well. I am simply pointing out he has papers in both subjects. I did not find it confusing.

[@trebledog]

Ok, show me the equations that show how the lorentz transformation equations (time cone and relativity) changes into the "mind of God". If you can't back it up with solid mathematical equations then I'm not buying it. This reminds me of the " render unto Caeser the things that are Caeser's and render unto God the things that are God's. " By the same means, render unto science the things that belong to science and don't do a bait and switch with the things that are beyond science.

As far as I've got already (almost two minutes!), this guy comes across as a confirmed dyed-in-the-wool Goddist 1st class. Can't he save his godding for Sundays, surrounded by his peers? I'm old enough now to not embarrass myself by sitting still and squirming, I'd much prefer to get to my feet and challenge his 'God' (until the heavies close in and chuck me out). Sadly it can't be done ... Two minutes and eighteen seconds and I've had enough. Far better to leave and bitterly regret the time I've already wasted-even as a concept used to further discussions the Abrahamic 'God' is an insult. Two minutes and thirty-six seconds now and I'm gone ... sheesh, two and half minutes stolen from my life ...
