Megascopic Quantum Phenomena
375
The crosswise-law mirrors have tremendous impact on our choice of the correct
interpretation of quantum theory. They rule out all “objective” interpretations. The
matter-mind dualism can never be removed and replaced by materialistic monism.
Megascopic quantum chemistry adds “unconscious” measurements to “conscious”
measurements as is known from microscopic quantum physics and this fact disqualifies the MWI interpretation, see Sect. 7, and the arguments of its advocates, such
as those of Zeh [158]: “He who considers this conclusion of an indeterminism or
splitting of the observer’s identity, derived from the Schrödinger equation in the form
of dynamically decoupling (‘branching’) wave packets on a fundamental global configuration space, as unacceptable or ‘extravagant’ [159] may instead dynamically
formalize the superfluous hypothesis of a disappearance of the ‘other’ components
by whatever method he prefers, but he should be aware that he may thereby also
create his own problems: Any deviation from the global Schrödinger equation must
in principle lead to observable effects, and it should be recalled that none have ever
been discovered [160]. The conclusion would of course have to be revised if such
effects were some day to be found.”
One can also find a nice response to this problem, i.e. of our false impression that
all processes in the material world must be measurable, Norton [52]: “It has long been
recognized that human action is the prototype of cause and effect. At its simplest, we
identify processes as causal if they are sufficiently analogous… Using human action
as a prototype, we identify terms in the cause and effect relation whenever we have
one that brings about or produces the other; and we identify the process of production
as the causal process… We restrict a science to some hospitable domain.”
Norton’s view is correct. If we confine our knowledge of the material world
to causal quantum physics and fully ignore teleological phenomena, then we have
restricted science to ‘some hospitable domain’. From all known interpretations only
the Copenhagen view has the ability to incorporate teleological phenomena via a
megascopic mirroring of each of its basic axioms.
16 The Emerald Tablet
It is worth pointing out that important contributions to the concept of the collective
unconscious of Jung and those of Darwin to the teleological concept of biological
adaptation were not motivated by some true authentic science, but by esoteric occult
ideas preserved since ancient times in various clandestine masonic, theosophical and
new age societies. Predominantly in these societies, the ancient Emerald Tablet of
Hermes Trismegistus has always drawn attention in special ways. Darwin did fulfil his
grandfather’s wish to apply the content of the Emerald Tablet to biological processes.
From Mackey’s Encyclopedia of Freemasonry we can cite this information [161]:
“Before coming to Derby in 1788, Dr. [Erasmus] Darwin had been made a Mason in
the famous Time Immemorial Lodge of Cannongate Kilwinning, No. 2, of Scotland.
Sir Francis Darwin, one of the Doctor’s sons, was made a Mason in Tyrian Lodge,
No. 253, at Derby, in 1807 or 1808. His son Reginald was made a Mason in Tyrian
