quantum mysticism Salvador Dalí

• Tesseract, Four-dimensional space, Four-dimensionalism philosophy
• “Research using virtual reality finds that humans, in spite of living in a three-dimensional world, can, without special practice, make spatial judgments based on the length of, and angle between, line segments embedded in four-dimensional space.” [^1]
• “Dali cross”, Crucifixion (Corpus Hypercubus) 1954 - the unfolded net of a tesseract (also known as a hypercube)
• “atomic age”, “nuclear mysticism”; Denounced by Einstein, Quantum Mysticism is more of idea that lacks true scientific substance
• Salvador Dali became enthralled with Quantum mysticism probably due to the philosophical concepts dealing with consciousness. Some of the philosophical claims of Quantum Mysticism include beliefs such as “There is no observer separate from reality and no separate reality from the observer.”
