Quantum Leap

What is a quantum leap? This is a most interesting term, for while the term "quantum" refers to the smallest realizable unit of anything, like “a photon of light;” a "quantum leap," according to the Hutchinson Encyclopaedia, is a term often used to denote "a sudden dramatic increase or advance." The term implies a very large movement which is actually relatively small.  A "quantum leap" is the idea that moving something seemingly small and insignificant can make a big difference.

The dictionary gives the old adage about the straw that broke the camel’s back as an example of a ‘quantum leap,’ saying that the 'last straw,' (however seemingly insignificant, however light and fluffy by usual standards,) actually made all the difference in the world to that camel. Point being that in the minuscule worlds of matter, in engineering and science, everything little, every ounce of matter, matters; and if one very teeny tiny thing is in or out of place, it can make all the difference in the world for the whole system of things.

Contrary to what most people have learned the world of atoms in primary, and maybe even secondary school, the “quantum model of the atom is much more complex” than the over-simplified, "traditional model" that presented in our textbooks.  Some of us hang our hats on knowing the simple concept of the proton, neutron and electron… and how the electron and proton orbit the neutron, but quantum sciences today unravel things much deeper.  In fact, what we think we know and believe about atoms is oversimplified and probably wrong.


According to Jim Tucek, an enthusiastic student of science on the Internet, not everyone can understand quantum theories, complex mathematics is needed in order to understand the “blurred clouds of probabilities around the nucleus” of an atom. In these quantum realms where scientists, like Tucek work and think within these minuscule realms of subatomic particles of what is thought of “organized chaos,” one must take everything into account and be able to find and work with the statistical probability of the location of a moving electron at an expected, given moment in time.

Creation believing scientists look at these minuscule things and marvel at God’s wisdom at keeping such chaos in perfect order; meanwhile evolutionists’ marvel at how such order comes from nothing but incredible chaos. Meanwhile, all scientifically minded, thinking, reasoning, inquisitive intellectuals move forward in time, counting the particles, unraveling the secrets of the universe like a ball of string; all hoping to see, to understand, maybe even to prove once and for all, who and what man is and discover what is at the end, (or is it the beginning) of the proverbial string.

Ahhh, the string. 

  Enter the “string field theory,” and the "grand unified theory," conceptual scientific theories that attempt, believe it or not, to link all things together as "one." Such theories however are not always spiritual or spiritually minded, for some scientists do not acknowledge or may not realize that such a wonderful being known as God even exists. Others do believe in the spiritual nature of life, but not always are these spiritual theories "Christian."

Christians recognize God’s marvelous scarlet thread is woven through all of life... throughout all time and space, they know this singular thread of God's love and redemption is his love, the very thing that holds the universe together…but they are few and far between it seems. Meanwhile, high minded, supposedly "scientific" man, is unraveling the universe around him, examining what is there refusing to believe in God or to believe he is accountable to anyone or anything but himself.. Unraveling the string he builds his own conceptual idea of the "whys" and "hows" of it all, rarely, if ever giving consideration that all this time "God" is in control.


No, some do not believe things were created and are unraveling, falling apart over time; they believe things are getting better and better rising up out of chaos, all by itself, maybe even due to their own ingenious plans.  In The Cosmic Blueprint: New Discoveries in Nature's Creative Ability to Order the Universe (1988) by the Templeton Laureate, Paul Davies, Davie explains that from his point of view, as a scientist, the universe is developing an essential, unfolding pattern and order. He suggests it is not going from order to disorder but the other way around.

Davies says that virtual particles can and do ‘pop” into existence from nothingness, and that this takes place through something known in scientific circles as “quantum tunneling.” In fact, he suggests that this is the manner in which the whole universe originally popped into existence. (Pg. 141)  While saying things move from disorder to order, Davies also suggests, that in the future, (upon the universe's demise,) mankind might scramble into a new universe of their own manufacture based upon these quantum understandings and scientific discoveries. But Dacvies is not alone. Alan Guth, professor of Physics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, (MIT) also believes there is a possibility that a new universe could be created through the discoveries we are making in “quantum tunneling."

En.Wikipedia reports that Guth says, it would be dangerous, (It's apparently dangerous to actually create another universe...) since it would result in what would be the equivalent of a 500 kiloton explosion. But it's relatively simple to create a universe.  All one needs is one ounce, ( a seemingly quantum amount) of high energy and false vacuum. Guth speculates that once false vacuum exists, the evolution of the universe is independent of what came before and says that it would take only 10-37 seconds for such a universe to disconnect from it’s parent universe.


It's quite amazing really, to see how we have moved so far beyond the standard models of perceived reality, into things few, usually only the most highly educated by the standards of the world can even see, things which must simply be taken on faith by the rest of us.  The textbooks are wrong or incomplete, so whatever we think we know, we don;t but don;t worry, there are people, giants among us, willing to let us know how things REALLY are.


Science, Religion, Politics, even Economics is all being redefined for us by the experts.  We hear about the Grand Unified Theory and the interconnectedness of all things, we heard about New Physics, NEw Math and the New Age, we encounter the New Spirituality that is emerging, showing us new ways to be human, promising to take humanity on a quantum leap.... a leap that weioll land them... where?

Into a new universe?

Fred A. Wolf, dubbed by some to be “a new hero of modern science,” wrote the book titled, Taking the Quantum Leap: The New Physics for Non-Scientists.(1989) While the product description says that the book “entertainingly traces the history of physics from the observations of the early Greeks through the discoveries of Galileo and Newton to the dazzling theories of such scientists as Planck, Einstein, Bohr, and Bohm., it neglects to say that Wolf guides the reader through all of this to ultimately explain that the human mind becomes the shaper of the universe and each of us is "god.”. They call it, the New Physics.

Wolf, not a Christian, was also featured in a film called, What the Bleep Do We Know: Down the Rabbit Hole (2004) a film that attempted to help the average person understand not only Quantum Physics but also the New Age way of viewing the world.  Fred Wolf, also made a film called Ups and Downs in San Francisco, a film exploring the Jewish Mysticism religion of self-mastery known as Kabbalah.

In Ups and Downs, Wolf remarked to colleague Jerry Satinover, “I don't give a da** about top scientists or the scientific establishment at all, I …I don’t care what they think, all I care about is saying what I have to say and I will say it…. What I care about is changing and transforming this planet that we're on - and I believe we have to introduce new thinking. And if it turns out that it's scientifically total garbage I don't give a flying ****(bleep!) It makes no difference to me, because science has little credibility as the only way of seeing the world. It's only one very narrow very limited way.”

The truth comes out once again.  People like Wolf, don't care what is true ot not, they simply want to make up their own reality and then promote, project and  proliferate their own ideas. Not only that, but any truly scientific thinker who looks at reality and tests to see what it is really mad of, or not, is now labeled, what "Christians" used to be: "narrow-minded." 

The New Age way of thinking (without the truth of God) is like having a dot to dot picture to figure out, but instead of following the number system, you make up your own; you simply connect them the way you want to imagine them to be connected. Spiritual man, outside of God’s revealed understanding, will be ever learning and unable to come to the truth. He will only mix natural thought and instincts with every false religion. The end result will not be the picture it was intended to be.

To trust in something that is not what it was intended to be in the first place is a lot like getting aboard a faulty airplane. Faulty theology, like faulty science can builds a faulty plane, bring disastrous results. In the end, the proverbial “leap of faith” it takes to believe in God, (or not,) may be merely the quantitative size of a mustard seed, but what you actually put your faith in can make all the difference in the world.

The thing to remember is “the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse.” There are some interesting dot-to-cot pictures being made for our eyes to see, some very fascinating observations people have made about life the universe and everything that exists within in, even the intricacies of it all, speculations about what or who holds it all together and how it all began.

The ultimate questions is, which one do YOU believe in, for "faith, the size of a mustard seed, can move mountains after all. In fact, you can take a quantum leap.

"And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you." (Matthew 17:20)
