Dear LLoyd and all:

While searching Google under the specific terms "sub-quantum metaphysics" and "Einstein," I found Lloyd's p.s. statement at the end of his 02-13-2007 "Consciousness holds the key to the T.O.E." post, where he writes [[I think a new sub-quantum metaphysics logic language can be developed to unite spirit and science___It only takes the will...]]

I'm not a scientist by any means, but I have been researching Einstein's theory of relativity, his views on space-time, time travel, and metaphysics for a fictional story I'm working on that melds science with the mysterious and illogical forces, parallel realities/universes, teleportation of objects from one location in space to another, etc.

I found something very interesting on the net, a "Quantum Metaphysics" paper that was presented at the Conference on New Spiritualities, Westminster College, Oxford, England, March 1995, written by Victor J. Stenger, from the University of Hawaii. In it Mr. Stenger writes:

"The hidden variables approach [referencing Bohm's theory, Bohm also being the major scientific figure in the quantum mysticism movement] is based on the notion, which Einstein always believed, that quantum mechanics is fine as far as it goes, as a statistical theory, but that some deterministic sub-quantum theory that lies behind physical events remains to be uncovered. Einstein's famous quotation that "God does not play dice" referred to this notion, although he thought Bohm's version was 'too cheap' (Born 1971). It should be noted that hidden variables theories are not properly labelled as "interpretations" of quantum mechanics since they imply the existence of a deeper theory, not yet discovered."

What I'm looking for is a way to connect Einstein with the malleability of reality through imagination, like the quote above: "God does not play dice," yet with even more distinction about the power of thoughts and beliefs, etc. There's so much material to go through. I'd just like to ask everyone if there's some references you might know of that specifically details Einstein's metaphysical take on reality creation, time travel, and time-space alterability.

I would appreciate any help anyone could give me.
