Spirituality and Other Dimensions
Manage episode 500936710 series 3324219
Have you seen the series Dark Matters? Well, tonight, my special guest is Christopher G. White, author of Spirituality and the Search for Invisible Dimensions, who explores the fascinating overlap between modern physics, multiverse theories, and spiritual practices.
At first glance, scientific speculation about multiverses and spiritualist séances couldn’t be more different. Yet White reveals striking similarities: both attempt to peer into hidden dimensions of reality and uncover the deeper meaning of existence.
In Other Worlds, White shows how the idea of invisible dimensions has not only shaped science fiction, fantasy literature, and modern art, but also redefined spiritual thought—making phenomena like ghosts, miracles, and paranormal experiences seem more plausible. From C. S. Lewis’s Narnia to the surreal paintings of Salvador Dalí, to the teachings of visionary scientists like “Dr. Quantum”, these ideas blur the line between science and spirituality.
This conversation dives into how scientific imagination can re-enchant the world, making the unseen feel real again and reviving timeless questions about the soul, the supernatural, and the nature of the universe.
