Similarity BetweenQuantum Mechanics& <strong>Astrology</strong>ByTapan Das, CanadaReadership Level: Very AdvancedAbstractTapan Das, Ph.D., P.Eng. has 35 years oftechnical management experience intelecommunication, wireless, IP, WiFi andASIC. He has worked as VP, Director andTechnical Manager in SGNT Technologies,Kinaare Networks, Lucent, Nortel, andPlessey. He holds an M.Sc. in Electronics fromthe University Of London, UK and a Ph.D. inMicrowave Electronics from the University ofBradford, UK. He holds seven patents andhas published number of technical papers inInternational journals. He had an activeinterest in astrology for a long time and hasbeen researching astrology and cosmologyfor the last five years. He has published sixpapers on this subject in Research in<strong>Astrology</strong> with Media in Science (RAMS),International Society of AstrologicalResearch (ISAR).and Journal of the MindshiftInstitute. Recently, he has published a bookWhy <strong>Astrology</strong> is Science: Five GoodReasons.Modern physics is dominated by theconcept of quantum mechanics. Theprinciples of quantum mechanics are– duality of wave and particle, probability,uncertainty, discreteness of energy, andcontextual behavior. In this article, the authorshows with examples how the principles ofastrology are similar to quantum mechanics. Ifthe research work on astrology is pursued onthese principles, astrology will be accepted as ascience by the scientific community.Quantum MechanicsQuantum mechanics is the science of matterand radiation at an atomic level. Classical(Newtonian) physics failed to explain verysmall particles (where quantum mechanicstook over) and very fast particles of nearlythe speed of light (where theory of relativitytook over). Quantum mechanics correctsclassical physics at the atomic andsubatomic levels. The term quantum (Latinfor quantity) refers to the discrete units thatthe theory assigns to physical quantitiessuch as the energy of light andelectromagnetic wave.Classical physics explained all physicalphenomena in the world with two entities –1179
