QBWB 2013 - Third Annual International Conference on Quantum Biology and Well Being

Quantum Mechanics is highly successful. Not a single prediction of the theory has ever been wrong. More than a third of our economy is derived from products based on it. Even so, it is uncomfortably strange and disturbingly counter-intuitive!
Meanwhile, Quantum Biology, the application of Quantum Mechanics to living systems, is gathering momentum. It was heralded on to the stage in the last century by Erwin Schrödinger in his famous book “WHAT is LIFE?” Standing now on the shoulders of giants like Planck, Heisenberg, de Broglie, Schrodinger, Bohr, Pauli, Dirac, Einstein, Bose, Feynman and others, we choose the following inquiries as the principal goals of this conference:
1. If we romance our quantum self can we expect to awaken and let lose more of our hidden glory and majesty?
2. If we become more malleable, can we expect to experience a sort of cosmic giddiness and holographic bliss?
3. If we take up the Practice of Observing, to what degree can we expect to enrich the Quality of our Lives?
Quantum mechanics deals with the behavior of small objects. It's not possible to observe a quantum mechanical system without changing it. So, the "observer" must be considered part of the system being observed.
Quantum objects are usually represented by a mixture of different states. When an observation is made, the interaction "collapses" the associated wavefunction into a single state. So any interaction that results in this wavefunction collapse is called an observation or measurement, whether or not it is part of a deliberate observation.
“Remember, it took 13.72 billion years of ‘work’ to get us to this point, to conceive such thoughts and articulate such questions! In vivo quantum biology is a fantastic looking glass of life! Befriending it”, says Tom Padikal with childlike wonderment in his eyes, “is likely to be a most rewarding and transformative episode in your life!” - Author: CHAMPIONING YOUR WELL-BEING
