In Quantum Physics, the atomic world is nothing like the real world. The Copenhagen interpretation states that reality is what is measured. , The particle you perform experiments on is what you measure it to be. Neils Bohr, the physicist basically said that nothing is real unless it is observed. An independent reality, in the ordinary physical sense, can neither be ascribed to the phenomena nor to the agencies of observation.
If we were to extrapolate this, it would mean the world we live in cannot be considered real based on Quantum Physics. The objective world we live in is an illusion.

Now, on another topic, in many near death experience, the people who returned from the other side after death spoke of seeing a bright light at the end of the tunnel. This is followed by being in a world of nothingness where the dead are. It is more real than any event that occured in the real world.
My question is, do you think there is there any link between what Quantum Physics has ascribed and what the people who had returned from the other world said? The reality that we know of is really not here. What is real is the world of nothingness experienced by the people who experienced near death. Any comments? What do you think?

That is the problem, Rfitqc_Aussie. Quantum Physics does not describe this world. In fact, it even states reality is an illusion. It tries to come to terms with a world that is unlike ours and yet is more real than ours.

There are many cultures that say that the "physical" world is just an illusion (read anything on the Dreamtime in native Australian culture) and that it is the world we move on to after the death of the physical that is more real. There are other schools of thought that suggest that physical reality is merely energy manipulating energy into a form that it finds acceptable and that after the death experience (remember you cannot destroy energy) we merely see what we expect to see. Those who expect to see nothing will do and those who expect hell will be subject to hellfire and torture and those who expect to be playing a harp on a cloud will do just that. However, it appears that this manipulation is just a temporary state as there are other energies manipulating our energy and therefore we all find ourselves in a similar place or state eventually. I'm not sure where this comes from but its interesting.

Quantum physics is a weird science, having to do with sub-atomic particles. The reason why the world we live in is a simulation is based on quanta. If you look at an atom, the size is 10 to the minus 8 cm. The nucleus is 10 to the minus 13 cm. The difference between those two numbers, 10 to the minus 5 cm, is a big number. If we were to build a model an atom of a to scale, making the nucleus the size of a pin head, the orbit of the electrons around it would be the size of a football field. The above numbers I gave you are in a one dimensional field. If you want to represent them in a three dimensional field, you'd have to cube them. Therefore, the distance from the nucleus to the electrons, which I said was 10 to the minus 5 cm, would need to be cubed, or would be 10 to the minus 15 cm.
To give an example of how big a number 10 to the 15 is, if we say that the universe is 16 billion years old, that would be 10 to the 15 seconds.
Let's look at something in our universe. Take a table. You would say it's solid. But if you look at the atoms that makes it up, and we said the material would be represented by one second, the empty space would be represented by 16 billion years. That's why everything here is a simulation of reality.

Is there not some aspect of quantum physics that relies on the conscious thoughts of an observer-Schroedinger's cat for example-and did Buddha not teach that the universe is shaped by human thoughts and desires? So perhaps there is a tie in between the two. I have read many near death experience stories and it often seems that people encounter what they believe they will encounter for example Muslims find themselves in paradise or Christians encounter Christ. There is definitely something going on that requires explanation-there are too many accounts for it all to be dismissed as lies or fantasy.

Although Quantum theory/QED is a very important part of physics, there is nothing in it to suggest that the 'Spookiness' can be extrapolated to a macroscopic level. The observation problem is limited to the sub-atomic. I go with Berkley, and kick the stone!
Susan Blackmore has done a lot of work on NDE, and explains the light at the end of the tunnel thing as Birth Trauma recall by a dying, oxygen-starved brain. Makes sense to me.

i think that your achieving the following. the actual undeniable reality that the Earth isn't 6000 years previous, the universe develop into not created in 6 days, and each and every creature in the international, inclusive of human beings, have developed over billions of years invalidate any declare of any God that has ever been created. (it fairly is except you want to comprise Einstein's "god") On a side word, I easily have study MWI for a lengthy time period now and do discover it really exciting. It fairly opened an entire new realm in theoretical physics about with the flexibility to "shuttle" into that different universe the position the coin landed in a unique way. Has also made for some exciting novels.

When you are about to die you think of God.. So there is a possibility that near to death experienes are just dreams. The unconscious mind was receiving the idea of Heaven, light, death, God, angel or whatever the person has thought at that time pretty intensively.. It has nothing to do with reality or a true out of body experience.. Think about it.. Have near death experienced atheists seen the same things?

Bright light at the end of the tunnel is caused by oxygen starvation causing the optic nerves to fire. Nothing to do with Quantum Physics, sorry. And the Uncertainty principle has nothing to do with the afterlife.

No, no no no link!
Sheesh!
Near death experiences are macroscopic phenomena. They don't see anything special for one, but more importantly,
Quantum physics describes THIS world, not any other!
