Using the Quantum Field to Manifest Your Dream Life | Sara Walker EP 514

0:00Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

0:12So a lot of our technology now is putting more and more time in smaller volumes, I think. Really? More and more space in small volumes? You mean like in a small device? Yes. If I'm talking to somebody on Zoom, somebody across the planet can be like right in front of me. Right? So now you've compressed something that's thousands of miles distance to the short interaction communication right now. Here? Yeah. In front of you. So what does that do to us as physical, spiritual beings? I think it's a confusing time for our planet because there's a lot of growth happening all at once. And if you have children, you know what growing pains are.

0:47Any of us know what growing pains are? It's painful. Yeah, it is painful. Your knees hurt, your back hurts, you're like awkward. Yeah, but to your point, I think like there's a lot of historical knowledge that we have and we don't know how to parse it with our technology. and it's interesting to me about about technology uh you know like you were saying you couldn't even have imagined it right but somebody did imagine it that's why it exists sure so in some ways when i when i look around and you know people don't like starlink you know moving across their sky because you're like it's blocking the stars and i'm like oh my god human minds just put stars in the night sky it's intriguing to me that for all of human history and actually indeed the entire history of our planet, we've looked at the night sky and just seen the stars that physics put out there, right?

1:29And now we're seeing things in our night sky that humans put there. And I think that can feel kind of alien in some sense, because intrinsically, we have a deep knowledge of our planet. This is why people feel comforted by the mountains and things, right? So it's like, we come from this very ancient lineage on this planet. All of that knowledge has been acquired over billions of years, not even just millennia. If you go to your cellular level, right? It's like billions of years of knowledge in your body and then thousands of years as a human. And so nature feels comforting in some ways because of that.

2:04And for some people, the built environment can feel very alien. But I think it's because it's new and because of this future of being constructed by us basically building stuff in the world around us. It's like the externalization of the human mind. AI is sort of a similar thing. It's like people feel like AI is very alien. But if you look at the progression of our technology, you know, we built microscopes that allowed us to even know that we were surrounded by life. We have seismometers that allow us to feel earthquakes, obviously important in California. And we built telescopes that allow us to see like the deepest, you know, parts of the universe, right?

2:46and we have quantum devices that allow us to probe these properties that we never knew existed. And now we're building technology that works off of principles we think our own mind works on. We're growing a lot right now. Yeah, we're growing a lot. Tell me about the quantum field. What is that for people to understand? So quantum physics, it's interesting because it's a theory that predicts features of the universe that seem quite odd for us because they're features of the universe that become apparent. at really small scales. So some of the features that seem kind of weird are like these kind of uncertainty relations.

3:22So if you know the exact position of something, you can't know its exact momentum. Momentum is just kind of like a feature of its motion. So, you know, like if I try to put you in a little box, I couldn't tell how fast you were moving. And then there's, you know, like quantum entanglement, which is if you separate two particles that were interacting and you make it so that they can't communicate, they still will act like they're communicating, Really? Being separated. So these kind of features seem very odd when quantum mechanics was founded and of course a lot of people that have originally proposed quantum physics and people that study it now say that this is a theory no one really understands.

3:59There's not a standard interpretation of it. Everything is actually really hard when you try to construct a theory for it. Sure, sure, sure. And I think people don't appreciate how hard it is, like how to get to quantum physics and general relativity and these things is really, really, really hard. It's an incredibly creative and painful process. And coming up with new theories is emotional. It's like, and you have to like rely on this deep intuition. So quantum physics has these weird properties. There's a lot still to be solved and understood about it. And a lot of people want to take sort of insights from quantum physics and apply them to sort of general principles of reality.

4:33I think that's a bit of a stretch because quantum physics actually doesn't explain what life is. And we haven't solved the physics of life and we don't know the physics of mind. And I think that physics might be even more interesting and even weirder than quantum physics. The physics of mind. Yeah.
