41 - Is Creativity a Quantum Process?

[marcuelcajon]

This is my favorite song from you. Great Job!

[WrAth2110]

Why the song? Are you trying to sell your musical ability too? Way off point, and pretty deceptive title considering about 70% of the video is you singing.

[clapton79]

Great is the song at the end. You really feel it. :)

[10thdim]

Thanks!

[nemesis76689]

excellent stuff as usual.. 5 stars

[googlerobabdul]

Rob, I love your use of the Internet and Video to engage with your fans, me being one of them.

[georgemargaris]

your singing isnt half bad, way to go.

how often do you see people talk about quantum stuff and singing out loud in the same video

[frazzzer8888]

Rob,

If you haven't read it yet, I think you'll enjoy the book "13 things that don't make sense" by Michael Brooks.

He discusses some of the topics that you've touched upon recently including creativity, decision-making, and possible quantum influeces.

[10thdim]

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll definitely check that out!

[hakomi20]

I like your videos!! Do plants use quantum effects? I really DO thinks so... like during photosynthesis...?

[Circumvenscion]

Yes it turns out they do indeed. Good guess....? Or did you already know that? ANyway, very interesting.

[hakomi20]

@circumvenscion: hi, yes, I already knew it. Official science says that if we understand how photosynthesis works, we would solve the energetic crisis like.. for ever! :)

So, what have you seen that made you understand why i said plants use quantum effects? thank you...

[10thdim]

I've previously discussed the fascinating studies suggesting plants use quantum effects for photosynthesis in this video:

and this one:

Thanks for writing!

Rob

[ryanvh1]

Oh we definitely have the know-how to solve the energy crisis. We have for about a 100 years. But there's still oil to sell and the people with the oil aren't going to let the public have those new technologies as long as they can profit from oil.

[burchified]

@ryanvh1 The whole global warming scare is being pushed by people who have made billions in the oil industry. Sounds like a conflict of interest to me, or a global scam to make slaves of everyone.

[Circumvenscion]

Oh I see why you said that....nevermind :/

[TheRolemodel1337]

you should rather talk then sing :p i like your talking much better :>

[QIQrrr]

Explaining creativity with reference to the quantum realm is contextually wrong. Creativity is:

Creation means the power to bring into existence an arrangement (or combination or integration) of natural elements that had not existed before. This is true of any human product, scientific or esthetic: mans imagination is nothing more than the ability to rearrange the things he has observed in reality. (Ayn Rand)

[VvidEye]

Seems like an obvious answer...

Here's a thought: Expanding upon the 4d sphere thought...The idea that we are actually going inwards through time... not outwards. Quantum physics is based on "probable" results fluctuating in and out of existence. Just like the future!

It is like the quantum field forms and becomes concrete at the present moment. Our thoughts and actions influence the field and we move into the future through the quantum field...thus we are all getting smaller ;)

[Davemachineman]

Is creativity a quantum process? ??? Possibly, but maybe it is more than synaptic activity. Maybe the quantum process is more than random electrochemical reactions inside the brain. If the soul exist, and that is only if, then their may be a possibility of of quantum processes that extent farther than the realm of our very awareness, and may extent farther then our own comprehension. But, that is just looking at the spectrum in a different light.

[SteevDragon67]

I tend to agree, being a creative soul myself. It seems like my best ideas come from outside myself. I don't consciously think of them, they just seem to happen. Of course I "load" my head with information; pictoral, from reading, and so on, and sit and let them rest. then it seems almost like they bounce around in my head, and suddenly I get an idea and it comes into my conscious perception and have an "ah ha" moment! Great inspiration doesn't necessarily take great concentration!

[Cashify]

Rob your videos are so good it's painful... but I just can't let them go.

[febreeze29]

Rob,

Have you taken a look at Zetgeist, The Movie?

This is irrelevant but I would love an opinion.

[febreeze29]

@febreeze29 Zeitgeist*****

[10thdim]

We've talked about Zeitgeist,and in particular Zeitgeist: Addendum at the tenth dimension forum, I particularly liked the addendum. If you search google in quotes for "The Omniverse Almanac and the Federal Reserve" you'll find a text blog I wrote about it as well.

Good stuff!

Rob

[FFRPianist]

I really think you should say something in your videos every time you release a new poll and provide a link to your blog so more people would be likely to vote in them.

[10thdim]

Hey, there's always a new set of polls running there, I think if you go right now there's about four you can vote on.

Thanks!

Rob

[TheSupercool19]

@title, yes and so is "free will".

[10thdim]

Agreed!

[Q9R42]

I don't think i'd support the theory of the subconscious being outside of the "now" though.

[123IOWNALL321]

@Q9R42, Rob's videos are more meant to be thought-provoking more than anything else...at least if you don't believe it, it might spark something in somebody's head somewhere, so I think his videos are still equally as important.

[10thdim]

Nicely put! I'm not trying to say "this is what you should think", I'm just trying to help people break out of patterns that are restricting them from considering new possibilities. Thanks for the great comment!

Rob

[Q9R42]

Of course. I wasn't really arguing the theory, i was mearly thinking in a different way.

That's what i said "Think"

It's nice with these "Thinking outside of the box" thoughts though. So it definitely gave me something to think about.
