Thought Waves
The atom used to be the last stop in our descent into the micro-world. For convenience we learned to recognize its structure as a sort of planetary system with a central nucleus surrounded by orbiting electrons. Then we found that this was not so. There was magic below the atom. The electrons did not orbit around the nucleus and they were not solid miniature planets. They were at the same time both particles and waves. As waves they spread out over space and their energies are related to their frequencies. So this compact atom seems to be made up of fuzzy waves that buzz full of different energies according to where they are. Well you might say, this is all very good but what has it to do with us? It's just that our bodies are made of atoms.
The French scientist De Broglie called the vibrations of the electrons "matter waves" and that made some sense since the electrons were part of the atoms that make up matter. With energy related to frequency, and from Einstein's famous energy being equal to mass multiplied by the square of the speed of light, E=MC squared, we see that energy is also related to mass so we come back to mass (particle) having wave properties. So we must be made up of energy waves.
Now consider the brain energy creating thought waves. We need to pump energy through sugar so that our brains can think. This energy creats thought waves and if electromagnetic radio waves are all around us and we don't see them but we can tune into them, why not tune into thought waves when we eventually develop the technology? Waves can interfere or add to each other or cancel out,so our waves can influence others. We also have the effect among people who think alike. Sometimes thought waves are magnified as might happen in a group of people undergoing some sort of religious experience. We often talk of people being on our wavelength where few words are necessary to convey an idea.
Science fiction writers use the particle/wave duality to get teleportation where the atoms are decomposed, transmitted as waves and reassembled at a distance. The effects of entanglement, interference, difraction, all seem to hold a lot of promise for research both in body and mind.
Waves caused by thought vibrations may be capable of outliving us. Just think! These thoughts may remain in space all around us.
Although some people may have more sensitivity in picking up such signals we may well all receive them. What if there is a sort of human memory bank where all our thoughts are gathered and kept? We know that energy cannot be destroyed, it can only be converted from one form to another!
Consider the universe as being one of many universes which exist in parallel to ours where we live at the same time. Theoretical physics talk of tens of different dimensions and tunnels through black holes that may make time travel possible.
All this makes the claims of conventional religion seem very conservative!
