Quantum Mechanics and Dhamma

March 13, 2018; revised March 10, 2026

This section will discuss two issues:

1. A new interpretation of quantum mechanics (QM) grounded in non-locality (quantum entanglement) is presented, drawing on Feynman’s ideas.  Concepts such as wave-particle duality and the observer effect are unnecessary. Furthermore, complex interpretations like the “Many-Worlds interpretation” are avoided. All existing experimental data will be shown to be consistent with this interpretation.
2. A deeper understanding of how kamma automatically gives rise to a corresponding kamma vipāka in Buddhism (Buddha Dhamma) is possible through this interpretation. In this case, ‘dhammā‘ (or ‘kammic energy’ or ‘kamma bija‘) are like quantum particles. See #8 of “Kamma, Kamma Bīja and Kamma Vipāka.”

Quantum Mechanics and Dhamma – Introduction

Quantum Mechanics and Consciousness

Quantum Mechanics – A New Interpretation

• What Is a Wave and What Is a Particle?
• Photons Are Particles Not Waves

Basis of the Proposed Interpretation – Feynman’s Technique in QED

• Feynman’s Glass Plate Experiment
• Feynman’s Method of “‘A Particle Exploring All Possible Paths’
• ‘Exploring All Possible Paths’ Leads to Fermat’s Principle of Least Time
