Jesus, Buddha, and the temptations

Jesus, Buddha, and the temptations

Italian version Although we all share the same biology and the same universe, our approaches to spirituality vary greatly. Spirituality concerns our beliefs about what transcends material and individual existence, through which we try to give meaning to our own lives and to the universe. Today I’d like to talk about an episode that connects the founders of two major world religions, Christianity and Buddhism. According to tradition, Buddha (Sanskrit: Buddha = “the Awakened One”) is the title by which…

David Bohm and the fish in the aquarium

David Bohm and the fish in the aquarium

Italian version A month ago, I wrote an article on David Bohm’s quantum theory, at the heart of which lies non-locality. Unlike the Copenhagen interpretation, Bohmian mechanics explains the phenomenon of entanglement—that is, the instantaneous interaction of two particles separated by very large distances—precisely because of its non-local structure.To put it more simply, we could say that non-locality implies the presence of a structural “connection” within phenomenal reality. I believe that non-locality is the “physical counterpart” to the principle of…

The book “Schrödinger’s Code” by Riccardo Adami

The book “Schrödinger’s Code” by Riccardo Adami

Italian version I’m happy to share my thoughts after reading the book Schrödinger’s Code, written by my dear and brilliant cousin Riccardo.In this book, Riccardo takes us to the heart of quantum physics by recounting the studies and experiences that have marked his academic journey. It is a compelling narrative, rich in detail, filled with historical and scientific references as well as personal anecdotes, through which Riccardo successfully guides the reader through the quantum universe: superposition, entanglement, quantum collapse, all…

Gödel’s Theorem

Gödel’s Theorem

Italian version In 1930, the Austrian logician and mathematician Kurt Gödel, one of the most profound minds of the century, formulated his two incompleteness theorems. The first theorem states that a formal system that includes arithmetic cannot be both consistent—that is, free of contradictions—and complete—that is, capable of proving all the truths of the system. If we do not want to sacrifice consistency, we must accept that there are propositions that cannot be proven—the so-called undecidable propositions.The liar’s paradox offers…

Thoughts on karma

Thoughts on karma

Italian version The word “karma” has now become part of our vocabulary. Francesco Gabbani won the 2017 Sanremo Music Festival with his song “Occidentali’s Karma,” and that same year, Fabio De Luigi and Elio Germano starred in the film “Questione di karma.”But where does this word come from? The concept of karma was present in Indian society long before the time of Shakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism, who lived around 500 B.C. I have often heard people say, “It’s karma’s…

Federico Faggin, bridge between science and spirituality

Federico Faggin, bridge between science and spirituality

Italian version “When we fully understand quantum physics, we’ll be able to unite science and spirituality. In a nutshell, we’ll understand the meaning of life.”This is the closing line of the documentary “Federico Faggin, the Man Who Saw the Future,” available on Raiplay. Hearing it gave me a sense of satisfaction, because the desire to unite science and spirituality is one of the driving forces behind the creation of esperienzedivalore.it. Federico Faggin isn’t very well known. I, too, must frankly…

The vision of Aurelio Peccei and Daisaku Ikeda

Italian version The vast amount of information available on the internet and social media offers us many opportunities. Among these is the chance to learn about particularly wise individuals, whose thoughts provide interesting food for thought. After writing the article Artificial intelligence and natural wisdom, I was looking for further insights on the topic, and a search engine suggested a link about someone who immediately caught my attention.Aurelio Peccei was born in 1908, he was a partisan during the Second…

The book “Spontaneous evolution” by Bruce Lipton and Steve Bhaerman

The book “Spontaneous evolution” by Bruce Lipton and Steve Bhaerman

Italian version I read Bruce Lipton’s first book about twenty years ago. I consider it one of the books that profoundly changed my view of the world and of life (read the article The book “The biology of belief” by Bruce Lipton).In 2011, I heard that Bruce Lipton was coming to Italy and that I would have the chance to hear him speak in Bellaria, where a two-day conference was scheduled on his new book “Spontaneous Evolution“, co-authored with Steve…

The unbearable burden of flat-rate plans

The unbearable burden of flat-rate plans

Italian version The Earth’s resources are not infinite. The debate over resource scarcity began in the last century, and the issue grows more pressing every year. It doesn’t take a genius to realize that we’ll run into trouble if we keep consuming certain resources at a rate faster than they can be replenished.Lately, I’ve been thinking about how our consumption habits are influenced by how much things cost us. I would go further: the cost structures associated with the use…

Buddhism, set theory and entanglement

Buddhism, set theory and entanglement

Italian version One of the principles of Soka Gakkai Buddhism is the mutual inclusion of a single moment of life with all phenomena. This principle is also found in other forms of Buddhism and in other typically Eastern schools of thought. It means that our phenomenal world is deeply interconnected, both in space and in time.The term “mutual inclusion” reminded me of set theory, which I learned in primary school. A set A is said to include a set B…
