  1. www.yijing.co.uk Dr Andreas Schöter School of Technology & Creative Arts Carnegie College Scotland andreas@yijing.co.uk Yijing: Metaphysics & Physics

  2. www.yijing.co.uk Overview • Metaphysics and Physics • Wuji-Taiji and Vacuum Polarization • Heaven/Earth and the Implicate Order • Divination • Synchronicity and the Implicate Order • Holism and Morphic Resonance

  3. www.yijing.co.uk Taijitu Shou 太極圖說 • Non-polar and yet Supreme Polarity! • The Supreme Polarity in activity generates yang; yet at the limit of activity it is still. • In stillness it generates yin; yet at the limit of stillness it is also active. • Activity and stillness alternate; each is the basis of the other. • Zhou Dunyi 周敦頤 (1017-73CE) • Translated: Adler (2009)

  4. www.yijing.co.uk Wuji er Taiji 無極而太極 • Wuji 無極 • Unpolarized • Taiji 太極 • Supreme Polarization • Liang Yi 兩儀 • Paired Principles

  5. www.yijing.co.uk The Classical Vacuum

  6. www.yijing.co.uk Time & Harmonics t1 t2 ΔT = t2 - t1

  7. www.yijing.co.uk Time & Harmonics t1 t2 ΔT = t2 - t1

  8. www.yijing.co.uk Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle • Certain properties of physical objects form complementary pairs. • The more accurately one property from a pair is known, the less accurately it is possible, in principle, to know the other. • The position & momentum of a particle are a complementary pair of properties: ΔXΔP ≥ h/4π

  9. www.yijing.co.uk The Quantum Vacuum

  10. www.yijing.co.uk The Quantum Vacuum The quantum vacuum can be viewed as a sea composed of all the elementary particles and their antiparticles constantly appearing and disappearing. Barrow (2001)

  11. www.yijing.co.uk The Quantum Vacuum The quantum vacuum can be meaningfully described by the phrase WujierTaiji無極而太極 But the particle & antiparticle pair are too tightly bound to be perceived... How do yin 陰 and yang 陽 arise and separate?

  12. www.yijing.co.uk Vacuum Polarization

  13. www.yijing.co.uk Vacuum Polarization

  14. www.yijing.co.uk Vacuum Polarization

  15. www.yijing.co.uk Old and New approach the old teaching in order to bring out new views Zhu Xi 朱熹 (1130-1200) Translated Adler (1990) what we have to do with regard to the great wisdom from the whole of the past, both in the East and in the West, is to assimilate it and to go on to new and original perception relevant to our present condition of life David Bohm (1917-1992)
