    Wholeness in Physics — The Story Beyond Measurement | Infinite Now Ch21

    In this episode, we follow quantum mechanics beyond wave–particle duality and into the measurement problem: where does measurement begin, where does it end, and why does observation seem inseparable from reality itself? From Einstein and Bohr, Stuart Bell, and David Bohm, we uncover why every attempt to draw a clean boundary between system and apparatus, observer and observed, inevitably fails. The question isn’t whether the wave collapses…It’s whether borders exist at all. --- These chapters are part of a wider metaphysical journey—one that invites you to look again at the world around you, and to see the unseen. 0:00 - 02:24 Recap 02:24 - 07:45 Wholeness In Physics 07:45 - 14:57 the Double Slit Experiment 14:57 - 18:04 The Einstein and Bohr Debate 18:04 - 22:42 The Measurement Problem 22:42 - 24:49 Sean Full Series Podcast, click here: Infinite Now, with Sean Crowley   Full Series + Pretty Pictures, click here: Act I - What Is The Physical Universe?   Act 2 - Chapter 21: The Experiment That Broke Physics http://linktr.ee/Infinitenow 👋 Join The Discussion: infinitenowwithseancrowley.substack.com For extended research notes and further credits, please view our full visual episodes on YouTube #Bohm #Bohr #Metaphysics #physics #Einstein #Relativity #QFT #Quantum Mechanics #Double Slit Experiment #Measurement problem This is a public episode.

    The 3000 Year Long Debate Pt2: Waves & Particles | Infinite Now Ch20

    Vacuums, photons, potentialities, and quanta. These are not merely the building blocks of science’s latest debate, but a mirror into our philosophical quest to understand the nature of being & becoming. In this episode, we continue our unraveling of the battle which shaped science and our understanding of the physical world. How ancient concepts influenced the ideas of modern science, from Plank to Maxwell, Einstein & Bohr. So join us as we trace a dialogue between philosophy and physics, and humanity’s quest to understand the very fabric of reality. 💡This is part two of a two-part chapter on the history of light, from Plato to Maxwell. These chapters are part of a wider metaphysical journey—one that invites you to look again at the world around you, and to see the unseen.

    The 3000 Year Long Debate Pt1: Aether & Atomos | Infinite Now Ch20

    Aether, atoms, waves, and particles. These are not only the building blocks of science’s oldest debate, but a mirror into our philosophical quest to understand whether nature is an aspect of being or becoming. For over 8,000 years, humans have grappled with this riddle, asking whether the universe is composed of particles or waves. In this episode, we explore The Forgotten Battle That Shaped Science: Aether vs. Atoms, and how these ancient concepts influenced the development of modern science. Join us as we trace the dialogue between philosophy and physics, uncovering the hidden stories behind humanity’s quest to understand the very fabric of reality. 💡This is part one of a two-part chapter on the history of light, from Plato to Maxwell These chapters are part of a wider metaphysical journey—one that invites you to look again at the world around you, and to see the unseen.

    What Is The Language of the Universe? | Infinite Now Ch19

    Is math a universal truth, or just a story we tell? From Plato’s ideal numbers to Archimedes’ infinite circles... from A.N. Whitehead’s process philosophy to the mysteries of modern physics, we explore where mathematics lives and what it tells us about the nature of reality. So join me as I dissect the symmetries that stand between being and becoming, parts and process, finite and infinite. This is a chapter in a wider metaphysical journey—one that invites you to look again at the world around you, and to see the unseen.

    Do Atoms Have Consciousness? Gaia, Animism & the Revival of Panpsychism | Infinite Now Ch18

    From the quiet intelligence of plants and the Gaia hypothesis, to ancient animistic traditions and the fractal structure of the universe, we follow the hidden thread connecting all self-organising systems across the universe to ask the provocative question: Is consciousness limited to living organisms? Drawing on the work of Joseph Campbell, James Lovelock, Rupert Sheldrake, and the philosophy of panpsychism, this video explores the question: What is consciousness really? And where, if anywhere, does it end? So whether you're curious about the nature of the mind, fascinated by systems theory, or questioning the limits of scientific materialism, this journey into the conscious cosmos may offer a new perspective on life, energy, and the mysterious force that connects it all.   This is a chapter in a wider metaphysical journey—one that invites you to look again at the world around you, and see the unseen.

  6. How Plants Think & What It Teaches us about Consciousness | Infinite Now Ch17

    How Plants Think & What It Teaches us about Consciousness | Infinite Now Ch17

    What is plant intelligence? What is thought without a brain? Although many will react strongly against the notion of plant consciousness, it does nonetheless remain a profound field of academic enquiry. From Mimosa to mycelial networks, we explore how plants and mushrooms challenge our understanding of thought, intelligence, consciousness and even free will. From biology to philosophy, we ask if intelligence is truly confined to neurons, or something far more ancient, abstract and expansive. This is a chapter in a wider metaphysical journey—one that invites you to look again at the world around you, to see the unseen.    Act 2 - Chapter 17: Life In The Slow Lane   Full Series Podcast, click here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJKKoGjld9iyiHfe9N27SR4VOxN4tHSuT&si=hFF1dFq4vdXYRa5m   Full Series + Pretty Pictures, click here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJKKoGjld9izBq6z39TFxNNeljB5r17_J&si=sp_7K-nidAdFisfH   http://linktr.ee/Infinitenow #Consciousness #Metaphysics #Perception #Infinity #Philosophy #ConsciousnessReimagined #Mind #Reality #PlantMind #Micelium #Fungi #Mushrooms #DrGagliano #PaulStaments This is a public episode.

    Which Brain Can See The Most Reality? | Infinite Now Ch16

    Beneath what you see lies a structure shaped by consciousness—a hidden universe born not of matter, but of relation, attention, and limitation. In this episode, we follow a path from ordinary space and time to extraordinary insight: where a single shape in an endless desert opens up worlds, and where perspective reveals not just what’s seen, but what is missed. So join me as I attempt to reimagine consciousness, not as a property of the brain, but as a kind of lens through which the infinite becomes finite. This is a chapter in our wider metaphysical journey, inviting you to look again at the world and see the unseen.   Act 2 - Chapter 15: Investigating The Dark   Full Series Podcast, click here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJKKoGjld9iyiHfe9N27SR4VOxN4tHSuT&si=hFF1dFq4vdXYRa5m   Full Series + Pretty Pictures, click here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJKKoGjld9izBq6z39TFxNNeljB5r17_J&si=sp_7K-nidAdFisfH     http://linktr.ee/Infinitenow #Consciousness #Metaphysics #HiddenReality #Perception #Infinity #Philosophy #ConsciousnessReimagined #Mind #Reality     This is a public episode.

    Does CONSCIOUSNESS have a Limit? | Infinite Now Ch15

    Sentience vs. Sapience: Understanding the Boundaries of Consciousness. How can we measure awareness in different species? While the structure of a species' nervous system may provide insight, are the lines of consciousness that easily drawn?
