Quantum Mechanics of Mind-Body


Heisenberg Uncertainty principle - The more precisely the position(x) of some particle is determined, the less precisely its momentum (p) can be known, and vice versa.

σxσp ≥ ħ/2

Although this is a theory of Quantum Mechanics, it is true for our mind-body relation.

Body tends to be inertia all the time and mind is in motion all the time - wandering. Our body can be very fast for a very short time but can not sustain that for longer period where as our mind can be stopped from wandering for few seconds but can not be stopped for longer period.

When our body goes through an excessive strain, we come in a state where we loose our mind. And when we are highly focused we loose even sense of position or direction i.e. we loose our body.

If we assume body is position (x) and mind is momentum (p), Uncertainty principle holds good here too.
