"Quantic Physics and Spirituality: Being as a relation, mind and computation, vacuum and Creation."

Some conceptual aspects of quantum physics are especially attractive to go beyond deterministic and reductionist materialism, and to widen the frame of physics to relatively close borders to spirituality. We will deal with three aspects:

The Higgs boson and its implications of the particle being, not as an isolated entity but as a continuous relationship with the quantum vacuum, which leads to reflection on being as a relationship.
Quantum superposition, the basis of quantum computation, confronts us with a logic of the world that is more general and profound than our usual logic, which is overflowing.
The quantum vacuum, space of incessant dynamism, has been related to the beginnings of our universe, and who knows if many other universes, which makes us wonder about some aspects relating to the concept of creation.
