The only acceptable point of view appears to be the one that recognizes both sides of reality—the quantitative and the qualitative, the physical and the psychical—as compatible with each other, and can embrace them simultaneously.

Let's go dancing tonight, We could wander—coddiwomple around in the shadows of our minds— Digging into a past that would want to be forgotten, But displaces the present if it was so. Choosing electives as you chose those shoes, poorly— As you continue to dance and lift your legs but feet hurting at each turn. You only seek love, and to please, So you hurt on, letting your heart break as you keep on pleasing. Your dress is flying and you're dying— But you have to keep on dancing because you don't want to be a burden— don't want to stop the music and get some ice for your foot. The show can go on as your soul slips away. ~T.R.A.

The science of physics has been extremely successful over the last four centuries, mainly for one reason: It does everything it can to disregard anything that has to do with non-physical parts of reality. Although the human body is a physical body, large parts of what distinguishes human beings, sometimes briefly called the human condition, does not belong to the physical domain. This implies that physics (and other sciences of the material universe) offers nothing more than self-imposed helplessness when it comes to questions as to what it means to be human. Yet it is possible to scrutinize the way in which physics (and other sciences) is delineated from the rest of reality: to reconsider its boundaries as they were set about four centuries ago. In other words, it is possible to look for features within the physical that are related to something outside the physical which physics itself ignores. The key concept to do so is proposed to be meaning, in its two variants of reference and sense. Meaning provides a viable perspective to illuminate the deep structure of reality as it extends beyond physics and across its boundaries.

Comment on "Protocol for Direct Counterfactual Quantum Communication" [arXiv:1206.2042] - Lev Vaidman - 30 Apr 2013

I argue that recent "Protocol for Direct Counterfactual Quantum Communication" by Salih et al. [PRL 110, 170502 (2013), arXiv:1206.2042] is counterfactual only for one type of the information bit.

Protocol for direct counterfactual quantum communication - Hatim Salih, Zheng-Hong Li, M. Al-Amri, M. Suhail Zubairy - 24 Apr 2013

It has long been assumed in physics that for information to travel between two parties in empty space, "Alice" and "Bob", physical particles have to travel between them. Here, using the "chained" quantum Zeno effect, we show how, in the ideal asymptotic limit, information can be transferred between Alice and Bob without any physical particles traveling between them.
