Experiments Suggest Humans Can Directly Observe the Quantum
By William C. Bushell, Ph.D. and Maureen Seaberg
A profound movement is underway in physics and related disciplines, one which has been accelerating. The public has not heard much about it, nor has the wider physics community. It is a groundswell of research focused on the discovery of the human potential for directly perceiving key aspects of what can genuinely be referred to as the “fabric of the universe.” What is astonishing about this news is that science is moving toward a day when human direct, sensory perception of the quantum may answer lingering questions about physics.
That’s right — human direct sensory perception. Not machine.
The recent discoveries involve all of the human senses — their basic capacities as well as their potential for radically enhanced functioning — and in this, the first part of what will be a several-part series on this blog, we will focus primarily on human vision.
Human beings have been discovered to have the capacity to directly perceive single photons of light, as has recently been established experimentally and published in the journal, Nature. This discovery is connected to what a number of leading physicists believe is another, even more astounding impending one — likely to be published in the next several months — the human…
