Still not much to write about.
But something has been on my mind. Some of you may be familiar with the “double slit” experiment. It’s not a lesbian porn flick, it’s a quantum physics experiment. I linked that video because it’s the most amusing explanation.
If you’ll recall the video I linked to last time went over the 10 dimensions and our relation in them. Well, after I stepped back from my diatribe my mind started culling information from it. Subconsciously at first, but soon I was pacing around and arguing with myself about the inescapable conclusion.
That’s actually not too uncommon for us.
Shush, you.
The conclusion? I was wrong. The universe WAS created whole and intact in an instant. It’s even more magical than that. At the same time everything that exists was created, everything that DOESN’T exist was created. By who or what we all have our opinions, but make no mistake that it sprung complete into existence… at some point after it was actually created.
This is going to get very confusing.
Recall the two dimensional beings only being able to observe three dimensional objects in cross sections and we (three dimensional beings) only able to comprehend time (4th dimension) in cross sections. If you were a fourth-dimensional being, you would see someone’s entire life as one object, like a photograph with too long of an exposure.
Also recall that we are collapsing reality from probabilities into a well defined structure. Thus, everything that is and is not is determined because we are observing it. Just like in the double slit experiment, the act of observing “locks” the natural probability waves that are the universe into what we define as our reality. What happens when we don’t observe them? Do they regress to waves or are they permanently locked into place?
Thus, my statement that the universe was created some time after it was created.
If all that is and is not was created as a probability the only time it could be “locked” was when life could somehow observe it. As life evolved it continued to “quantum lock” things around it. I hate to use a term from Dr. Who, but it’s exactly what it is. The more we observe the more things we lock into place, but since everything already exists does that mean everything is locked… immutable because of our existence? Perhaps. I certainly subscribe to a fatalistic philosophy.
However, this brings up other issues. As we look back through space and time, things that were once just probabilities become locked into place. Thus, perhaps the reason we cannot see the Big Bang is because we cannot SEE the Big Bang. Thus, it remains a probability wave that cannot be observed until it is observed.
You could probably explain this all better in person… or sound like a complete madman. Either way continue.
I told you to shush! So perhaps there is intelligent design… and WE are the intelligence. But this raises a more serious question, “what if some things in the universe aren’t locked because we didn’t observe them?” I’m talking about humanity as a species and not locked in to our three-dimensional snapshot. Perhaps we exist as we do today because we were quantum locked by our distant descendents… or even an alien intelligence.
This brings me back to our role in all of this. If reality is quantum locked when observed, then the future of life in this universe has no guarantees. We are simply collapsing probability into reality permanently. However, if the universe returns to a state of probability waves when not observed, then the fact we are here means life will continue as we will have been observed from a historical perspective.
Completely mad… I’ll do the talking at the job interviews.
Yup, got a couple of those next week. So we’ll see how they turn out. I’m really confident about one here in town, but not going to count any chickens before they hatch.
Still, I think I’ve managed to blow my own mind. If my new philosophy has any merit then that means we exist as we do today because we observed evolution (maybe at some future point we’ll have even more information) and the physical processes that allowed life to arise and MADE it happen. We could be, in effect, our own creators.
