In this fascinating short excerpt from BBC’s A Night With The Stars, Cox turns to the Pauli exclusion principle — a quantum mechanics theorem holding that no two identical particles may occupy the same quantum state simultaneously — to explain why everything is connected to everything else, an idea at once utterly mind-bending and utterly intuitive, found everywhere from the most ancient Buddhist scripts to the most cutting-edge research in biology and social science.
More on Cox's recent book, The Quantum Universe: Everything That Can Happen Does Happen, here.

Re: Brian Cox - Everything is Connected to Everything
What a delightfully brillant young being. Really enjoyed all of these truths, the absolute energy of connectedness. This implies responsibility to self and others.
DO NOT HARM
Society had disenabled or disconnected us from each other. Wars, money, false education etc. so the disconnected society can be split naturally into connected pieces, like the jigsaw. Then each piece is a component or compartment. Easy to control. Becoming connected to each other again will create the whole.
Bit by bit we are picking up the pieces and putting them back into place.

Re: Brian Cox - Everything is Connected to Everything
The Holographic Universe
By Michael Talbot
"One of the most telling statistics regarding multiples is that 97 percent of them have had a history of severe childhood trauma, often in the form of monstrous psychological, physical, and sexual abuse. This has led many researchers to conclude that becoming a multiple is the psyche's way of coping with extraordinary and soul-crushing pain. By dividing up into one or more personalities the psyche is able to parcel out the pain, in a way, and have several personalities bear what would be too much for just one personality to withstand.
"In this sense becoming a multiple may be the ultimate example of what Bohm means by fragmentation. It is interesting to note that when the psyche fragments itself, it does not become a collection of broken and jagged-edged shards, but a collection of smaller wholes, complete and self-sustaining with their own traits, motives, and desires. Although these wholes are not identical copies of the original personality, they are related to the dynamics of the original personality, and this in itself suggests that some kind of holographic process is involved."

Re: Brian Cox - Everything is Connected to Everything
Another one of my favs:
“In order to live with integrity, we must stop fragmenting and compartmentalizing our lives. Telling lies at work and expecting great truths in meditation is nonsensical. Using our sexual energy in a way that harms ourselves or others, and then expecting to know transcendent love in another arena, is mindless. Every aspect of our lives is connected to every other aspect of our lives. The truth is the basis for an awakened life.”

Re: Brian Cox - Everything is Connected to Everything
Wait a minute. Where does it say the Pauli exclusion principle applies to all fermion wave functions in the universe simultaneously as a single aggregate? That assumes the universe is a single wave function, rather than an uncountable number of individual wave functions.
I'm skeptical of this young man's claims.
