Course Title:
MyoSynaptics: Introduction to Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
Instructors:
Dr. Marc Ellis.
Guest Contributor: Dr. Ellis Sr., PhD, Theoretical Chemical Engineering
Course Description:
Step into a groundbreaking exploration of physics, perception, and clinical neuroscience, in this MyoSynaptics course that connects the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle to the art and science of healing.
In this unique learning experience, Dr. Marc Ellis invites his father, Dr. Ellis Sr., a PhD in theoretical chemical engineering, to help demystify one of the most misunderstood concepts in modern science: the uncertainty principle. With decades of experience calculating electron behavior, Dr. Ellis Sr. distills complex quantum ideas into accessible, intuitive language that brings surprising clarity to topics often dismissed as “too abstract.”
Together, they guide you through the philosophical and mathematical framework of uncertainty, not just as a principle of particle physics, but as a tool for clinical discernment, pattern recognition, and understanding biological complexity.
You’ll learn how classical mechanics and quantum mechanics describe the same universe at different scales, and how these insights empower practitioners to:
-
Recognize how "uncertainty" is a fundamental feature of both subatomic systems and the human body
-
Ask better clinical questions by understanding which variables can, and cannot, be precisely known
-
Understand sensory mismatch, cortical representation, and neurological variability through a quantum lens
-
Appreciate how the body mirrors the probabilistic, non-linear nature of the physical universe
With historic perspectives (including Heisenberg’s original 1933 Nobel lecture), curated video content from The Great Courses, and live demonstrations, this course isn’t just about physics, it’s about awakening your clinical intuition through a deeper understanding of reality itself.
Key Topics Include:
-
Canonical conjugate variables and their clinical analogues
-
How quantum uncertainty mirrors diagnostic uncertainty
-
The philosophical implications of “nothingness” and the pure vacuum in biology and consciousness
-
When knowing less about one variable lets you understand more about another
Whether you’re a clinician, philosopher, or lifelong learner, this course invites you to see the body, and your role as a healer, through entirely new eyes.
