good video..

I can see there is a lot of emotions going on here. You are missing out on some aspects here: First of all - you can't speak of fundamentalism when refering to science: SCIENCE IS NOT A RELIGION. There is a lot of people who apparently believes this. Second, it seems to me like you have made up your mind on a subject, and in your mind your own opinions are made facts. This is not a good go at grasping the face of reality.

Here is my tip for you: Start approaching life with logic and evidence.

Evidence will always trump faith, evidence is what keeps this world moving, evidence is what keeps you and I alive. You would not be reading this post if evidence were replaced by faith, because the human race would cease to exist

One comment in this video says it all, thats when David says; “Common sense and not say mystical revelation is indeed the right way to fix your toaster” In other words, you employ scientific fact (evidence) based methodologies to get your toaster fixed, you dont on the other hand invoke a spiritual entity or get on your kness and pray that your toaster will be fixed.

What is great about his discussion is how he relates science and scientific method with history and the human experience.

[asalamulekum]

Is he contrasting (quantum mechanics vs. mysticism) or (general scientific method vs. mysticism)? I seem to recall in organic chemistry the discovery of the carbon ring actually came to the chemist in the form of a dream. Why can't the two be compatible? It seems to me having one without the other is like missing some tools in your tool box. In other words the chemist was stumped by his conscious problem and the solution was revealed by the subconscious. Just an example I thought I'd mention.

very articulate and easily understandable; thank you!

@Mysti99 Quantum mechanics is a mathematical model that explains things we observe. I have yet to meet a "quantum" mystic who understands the first thing about the model, or a single mystical pronouncement about QM that has been experimentally substantiated.

Very, very cleverly sidestepping the primary issue.

Hey nice video I like it, I think, good job!

[Mysti99]

@Mysti99 i mean i see opinions versus proof even amongst the experts, and some that act like gatekeepers or boundaries. science should not have that boundary or even a perimeter, its merely a process of asking questions and seeing if they can be tested, and as one builds some knowledge you ask more. So far, there is a lot more connection between quantum mechanics and quantum mysticism than Steven Hawkins, for example, likes to promote.

there is an article called Quantum physics says goodbye to reality from physicsworld that deal with an experiment in Austria and the nature of reality, whether or not its around us. Is it? Is it there when we look away? Is energy more than condensed waves? If mc2 is energy, is consciousness the same? What are the pigments they've observed, and the filaments in space. I've been researching the difference in quantum mechanics and quantum mysticism and see alot of opinions by experts.
