Human Brain and Space

Hither to unexplained phenomena, entanglement and wave particle duality, may have roots related not to some aspect of space but some aspect related to human brain.

These are observer related problems. Two far apart electrons having opposite spins but only realized at the time of measurement. When one particle is measured the spin of the entangled particle will be the opposite of the first measured result.

These are related to measurement or observation. measurement and observation is done by human observers. Their brains is the main tool used for these observations.

You can argue that, what if a computer does the observation, but even here the architect of the computer is a human.

Also there is an argument, if there is no human observer does the sun not rise? Therefore happenings of the universe should be independent of human observers. But in wave particle duality experiments when the experiment is designed to observe the photon the fringe pattern disappear and it acts like a particle.

The space exists independent of human observer, but, certain aspects of the space may be related to the observer. After all observation is poking the system. This effect of poking changes the system. Without poking there is no observation.

In classical physics the poking is assumed to be so minimal that the system is assumed to be the same. In reality this is not true. When the observation shifts to smaller and smaller levels, the effect of observer starts to affect the system that is being observed.

 We see space, we touch space, we live in space. So human brain interprets space. That is how we see, touch and live in space.

Current mathematics and physics may not give the whole picture of space. Mathematics and Physics are all human observer related.

Building a Secular world without dishing Religion

What is Religion
Religion is our upbringing. At the time we are born we don't have a religion. Our parents give us our first religion. When a curious baby tries to crush a moving ant mother will caution him not to do it. This type of experiences take root in a child's mind and later on transform to religion. So, secular of not everyone have a religion. Commonly this is termed as morality.

Religion will have added layers to morality. Morality will be almost same to all religions. People will kill each other for these added layers of religion. All the ills of religion is centered in these added layers.


It is unknown whether the morality preceded the added layers of religion, at the inception of all religions.

May be morality was a later development. At first certain rules were followed by animal who live communally. Without these rules everyone will try to kill each other and the species will not survive. These rules were converted to morality in the beginning. Later on rules like do not kill in vain. Was added. These rules are more towards to efficiency than survival. Any way efficiency is related to long term survival.

Religious layers were added by the baffling concept of death. Death is rarely mentioned in definitions of religion but death is the root of religion. There will be no religion without death and suffering. Suffering is deteriorating of the human body that culminates with death.

One strange aspect of religion is no-one can say it is absolutely correct or absolutely wrong. Because, no one is going to rise up from death and give his experience and explain what happened after death. We could only assume certain things.

Another aspect that we trend to forget is, physically what happens after death cannot depend on the religion you believe. Because different people have different beliefs. What happens after death cannot depend on what you believe, though it may depend, like most religions prescribe, on your actions in life. Therefore it is absurd to believe that Buddhist will attain nirvana and Muslims go to Allah. What happens will be same for both.

Therefore there are enough arguments to show the necessity of religion. So dishing religion altogether is not an option.

But there are lot of bad aspects of religion, like war in the name of religion. Through out history there are numerous examples of religious wars. Currently world peace is threatened by such a war.

Why secular

When world population is taken intro account, more and more people are stopping in believing in popular streams of religion. But in death they still resorts to religion. For example Europe that leads in secularism, still have their funerals in churches. Sometimes, this may be the result of children honoring their parents wishes.

The reason Europe leads in secularism is because, more educated are based in Europe compared to the rest of the world.
