2. There is a sort of similarity in patterns of thought or mental realizations 
with Eastern mystical traditions.
3.  Eastern spiritual basis is similar to quantum mechanics, in that one must 
escape the suffering of this world through meditative practice that penetrates 
beyond the separating dualisms of this world.
4. Eastern Civilization abandoned the idea of gods enacting laws of nature.
5. The merging of mathematically verifiable Hellenic categorical axioms with 
Hebrew  idea of Kodesh (separation) occurred with Christianity. After  the dark 
age, western intellectual progress resurged later on.

This post is a unwarranted criticism and apology for Western Civilization as 
“unscientific”—or not ‘Quantum-conforming’-- and an unqualified endorsement and 
un-evidential apologetics for Eastern Civilization as Quantum-conforming and 
therefore scientific. What the WAMP physicists (defined elsewhere below) do not 
acknowledge is that the “Copenpagan” Interpretation is irrational, unscientific 
and contrary to the law of noncontradiction. The de Broglie wave-likeness was 
unnecessarily
changed to Bohr’s waviness to accommodate Bohr’s Tao (Yin/Yang of opposites).  
[His wealthy Jewish mother had brought him up as a Lutheran]. Thus the rational 
AS IF logic was replaced with the irrational BOTH & fallacy; so  much so that 
Einstein referred to Bohr as a “Talmudic philosopher”. While Buddhism with its 
dogma of Rebirth (an offspring of Hinduism with its Reincarnation) and its 
offshoots reject the Vedic 330 million Hindu gods (and also the caste system), 
both practice meditations and Yogasanas to achieve Moksha or Nirvana.
Scientific advancement and material prosperity require acceptance and control 
or “dominion” of the reality of the physical world around. Science did not and 
could not have originated in an ethos governed by Maya or mysticism or 
superstitions. In the West even the Resurrection is a physical reality that 
changed the almost 3-millennia old rigid Seventh Day Worship of the 100% Jewish 
Christian congregations of the early First Century to the First Day worship of 
the Week, even in the Temple premises (Acts 20:7 & Acts 2:46).
             According to a Quora article: “The only reasonable conclusion is 
that Islam indeed caused what was known as the Dark Ages”. 
https://www.quora.com/Did-Islam-cause-the-Dark-Ages.  When Jihadism closed for 
the West all land routes to the East, it required the “quickened” or 
“regenerated” spirits of Western explorers to go into the unknown waters of the 
oceans for sea routes and in the process discover new continents and establish 
colonies.

           This Crowell-post only points to the consequences of the deep 
divisions in Americas and Europe which are irreparable and irrevocable—not just 
on abortions and LGBT “court-fiats”, barring the very unlikely Third Awakening 
in America. An Awakening (the Prophetic or Quakers’ Quickening) is antithetical 
to the “Yogic trance” for “consciousness control”, which the Bible condemns as 
“evil spirit directed” (superstitions of Eastern customs, Isaiah 2: 6). The 
Kavanaugh controversy is only the tip of the iceberg.

A Caveat: WAMP is no match for Jihadism which brutalized India for one thousand 
years, Spain and other European nations for 300-800 years, all of Middle East, 
a chunk of East Europe and inhumanly vanquished the Christian Byzantines etc. 
Had it not been for the British Empire (the vastest, greatest, mightiest, 
noblest ever--not perfect), the whole world would have been under Jihadism by 
now and the self-righteous grubering WAMP-the-Ingrate would never ever have 
seen the light of day.

My friend is not physicist I think she understand physics on popular-science

something about what ancient taoists sages was talking - Tao - unnamed, 
undivided reality. I was not able to argue with her becourse of my low 
understanding of physics but I make research and there are in fact some 
physicist who endorse this view. Some od them talk about tao, others talk about 
sunyata (buddhists notion) but maybe these are just theirs personal opinion and 
mixing it with physics is unvalid?

Fritz Capra wrote a book titled The Tao of Physics. I read it in high school 
and again as an undergraduate. This book is probably one of the most reviled 
book by physicists, though a few think it is good. I am a bit neutral. Capra 
makes comparisons between nonlocality of quantum mechanics and the Taoist idea 
that a vessel holding nothing is a paradox by assigning the word nothing to the 
emptiness in the vessel. In some ways the quantum wave or state is something 
that defies standard existential categories.

Western civilization progressed along the lines of defining separate 
categorical rules to different entities and using the resulting different 
categorical rules in logical constructions. This has its origins in the 
Hellenic notions of mathematical proof based on axioms and the Hebrew idea of 
Kodesh or separation. The merging of Hellenic and Hebrew constructions occurred 
with Christianity, where while this did put a dark age blanket on western 
intellectual progress it did pave the wave for a resurgence later on. A reading 
of Immanuel Kant reveals the pains he took in laying down categories.

Eastern civilization progressed along different lines. For one they abandoned 
the idea of there existing Gods and by extension the concept of there being 
laws or rules that Gods enforce. Plato wrote down the argument by Socrates and 
Euthyphro on this point that is worth reading. Eastern spiritual basis is that 
one must escape the suffering of this world through meditative practice that 
penetrates beyond the separating dualisms of this world. This does have some 
similarities to quantum mechanics that has nonlocal properties that defy the 
sort of categories in Western thought and are more similar to Eastern thought.

Where I think things go awry with the idea of Taoism or Buddhism as quantum 
physics is when people say they are the same. We could just as well take the 
dialectics of Hegel and just say that Hegel codified quantum principles, and 
that Hegel was a quantum thinker. What I think is occurring in these instances 
is a sort of similarity in patterns of thought or mental realizations with 
Eastern mystical traditions, and for that matter Hegel as well, with quantum 
theory. It would be a big stretch to say there is some quantum consciousness at 
work here so that the ψ wave is somehow manifesting itself in these mystical 
practices. Bohr maintained that quantum physics must have a classical ordinary 
language description, and this description does illustrate how the quantum wave 
is something we can't put an objective finger on. By a similar pattern of 
thinking the idea of Taoism is similar. However, Lao Tse is not likely to have 
had some quantum ψ wave percolate into his brain or consciousness as the basis 
for the Tao.
