For me buddhism appeals to me and I practice and profess it because it corresponds most nearly to everything I know about the universe. I see a basic unity among religions, although that’s a different topic. I’m only interested in what’s actually true.
For example, it’s a fact that matter is almost entirely empty space, and that part isn’t is basically energy. Realizing that entirely maybe will be enlightenment, “the kingdom of God” or whatever words we use. Anyway, in quantum mechanics there’s an effect called something like “non-local causality”. I’m sorry I’m pretty vague on the science and maybe someone can verify and clarify what I’m saying. As I understand it, the positive and negative aspects of a split atom remain in some kind of relationship even when they’re no longer in a physical range to be affected by the various measurable forces such as gravity and strong and weak forces. This effect exists and can’t be explained, as far as I know.
Now presuming I’ve got this “non-local causality” right, while it doesn’t “prove karma,” it does provide a “real” analogy or model that could be applied to the moral realm, since the mechanism in either case is unknown, but observable. One ground-breaking book in this area was Fritjof Capra’s “The Tao of Physics” (re-issued 1995?). Some other high-level scientists are writing on this too. Another fascinating book is “Quantum Healing” by Deepak Chopra, for some stimulating ideas on the transmitter molecules located in the synapses.
I think quantum mechanics and Buddhism share many fascinating and encouraging parallels. Comments, facts anyone? Please enlighten us!
