Comment: Chopra finds truth in Astrology

According to Deepak Chopra modern sciences have it all wrong. Modern sciences unlike Astrology is locked into a superstitious, obsolete worldview, one based on Newtonian physics and materialism.

Firstly, ‘reality’, as we understand it, does not exist. Secondly, only consciousness exists, even though we are unable to find it. So our sensations of colour like red are not from brain processing (most scientists are wrong) but it’s a result of this consciousness. Thirdly, here is a really cool fact. Chopra says that, “Every cell instantly knows what is happening in every other cell, in fact, in the whole universe” I am not sure what he means by ‘know’ and ‘cell’. In fact, what does he really mean by ‘consciousness’? The every cell knows every other cell sounds like a fanciful use of quantum entanglement from quantum mechanics. But then again that’s science built on superstition!

You know the most amazing thing about this article is that he has some relationship with The University of Oregon Institute for Theoretical Physics. What do they teach there?

Final comment: Chopra displays the same righteous arrogance that he accuses of materialist scientists.

News: UK University Supports “Middle Ages” Knowledge

After wandering through some science blogs I found this amusing website from University of Southampton and the recent PhDs awarded.

Name Date awarded Supervisor(s) Title of thesis
Pat Harris May 2007 Jackie Powell Applications of astrology to health psychology: psychological and astrological factors and fertility treatment outcome

 
I imagine we are talking the same astrology that’s been debunked so many times over so many years. So should we now take star sign reading in the local paper seriously. Or, perhaps do a PhD in the application of alchemy to modern wealth creation methods or to extend current mining practices!

Sorry back to the real world…
