Abstract
There is an epistemic relationship between Quantum physics and extra-sensory perception (ESP). The discovery and illumination gotten from the study of particle physics and the understanding of quantum physics brings to light a great resolution of the content of reality within the confines of the seen and unseen or from the mental and extra-mental. This paper posits that the inherent controversy in trying to comprehend the workings of “paranormal” acts such as telepathy and psychokinesis imbued by critics of paranormal phenomena can be resolved by an understanding of quantum physics and the uncertainty principle. The underlying position of this work is that everything in the universe, whether in the realm of the physical or the metaphysical are made up of energy and vibrations manifested in various forms. These forms include our bodies, minds, thoughts and in the elements. And uncertainties are parts and parcels of realities in both quantum mechanics and ESP.
Highlights
The advancement in contemporary physics has considerably improved such that roughly between 1924 and 1930s, there was an entirely new theoretical approach to dynamics developed to account for sub-atomic behaviour
The idea of quantum physics is laden with metaphysical overtone and if we view issues bordering on the paranormal, we see that they are metaphysical because there appears to be no clear explanation of the claimed experiences of issues of Extra-Sensory Perception (ESP) such as telepathy, psychokinesis, etc. the claims made by the experts in paranormal studies have been seen as uncertain because it cannot be quantified
The question we need to ask is does the knowledge of quantum physics explain issues that involve Extra Sensory Perception? We have through the knowledge of particle physics encountered the notion of the uncertainty principle, a situation where imprecision always turned up if one tried to measure the position and the momentum of a particle at the same time
Summary
The advancement in contemporary physics has considerably improved such that roughly between 1924 and 1930s, there was an entirely new theoretical approach to dynamics developed to account for sub-atomic behaviour. Quantum mechanics or wave mechanics was popularized with the works of Louis de Broglie who proposed that electromagnetic radiation and that matter could have waves as well as particle aspect. The knowledge of this has great implication in understanding the workings of extra sensory perceptions especially on telepathy and psychokinesis. It is believed that there is really no difference between the radiation, wave or energy experienced by the works of experimental science and what we may call psychic science
