[@Terrekain]

The idea that physicists should "understand" quantum physics is misguided because it is an invitation to blind speculation. This is why any physicist doesn't want to be called a "Scientist" these days because the word has been coopted by people who are anything but. Most today are directed towards empiricism or as Sean would say "making predictions". The truth is that nobody knows what's "going on", and giving in to the temptation of pretending to know is a path that many physicists have gone down. You see this with Physicists who have gone into political advocacy, trying to leverage their knowledge of Physics into something completely unrelated like nuclear warfare and geopolitics - in fact, they know nothing about the latter. And the truth is that they know nothing about what happens outside their instrumentation and difference thresholds either - and they should not pretend to know. It's not anyone's job to "know". It's their job to "observe and record", and for engineers to apply it to a practical solution.

[@lepidoptera9337]

@@AbleAnderson His historical perspective is completely wrong. There is literally a mountain of scientific publications about the foundations of quantum mechanics out there. It's not that we haven't tried hard to find out something new about the principles behind it... the simple fact is that we haven't been successful. That is intimately tied to the success of quantum field theory and its great failure to go beyond the standard model, even though it is conventionally not seen that way. Also, his idea that we haven't made a new discovery since the 1970s or 1980s is completely wrong. Like most theorists he seems to be little impressed with neutrino masses. As far as "Gosh, who ordered that????" goes, neutrino masses are the size of a supernova, even if, to the theorist, their incorporation amounts to something like a simple three by three matrix in the standard model.

[@GiI11]

@@lepidoptera9337 The discovery of neutrino masses is a pretty insignificant result as far as fundamental physics go not because it's mathematically easy to implement but rather because it has no direct bearing on our categorical understanding of space, time, and the nature of measurement.

[@phaneserichthoneus8895]

That's part of the problem with these discussions. People who HAVE had an interest in these things all of their lives are being told they're wrong by newcomers who used to be only into girls and partying, and just yesterday learned about the word "quantum" from a scientist who basically said that reality isn't nearly amazing as the new agers make it out to be. Nobody can escape "quantum" level energetic behaviors. We're made of subatomic particles just like everything else, so we are actually "quantum humans", so we have the intrinsic ability to sense these things, and we do it all the time without realizing it. These subatomic interactions are the foundation of all the feelings, emotions, and thoughts we have. It's all about the movement of energy and the atoms and subatomic particles that go with that energy. Scientists ignore the quantum aspects of human beings and instead use tools created by human beings for experimentation. They're ignoring human influence on reality because they just don't believe we have anything to do with it. It's a disbelief problem, probably because their tools haven't shown them the connection yet. But when you accept that your body is a measuring instrument for self-analysis, and that we are not separate from any sort of "quantum behaviors", it opens many new doors for exploration and understanding.

"Transistors depend on quantum mechanics" - that's misleading at best. Someone chime in here but I believe what he's referring to is we're fast approaching the lower size limit for transistors before quantum mechanics will screw them up and make them unusable (I forget what the term is, but it's like hopping a bridge). So no, traditionally transistors have nothing to do with quantum mechanics, but we've been making them smaller and smaller, and we're at the point where we can't make them any smaller literally because the fabric of the universe won't allow it to work. That's not quite the same as "depending on quantum physics" lol.

Perhaps quantum mechanics is emergent, and fundamentally governed by vortex dynamics in an incompressible fluid (the zero-point field/vacuum/"aether 2.0"). When incompressible, the motion of one vortex is locked to that of the other vortices far away, which sounds like entanglement to me. Information, however, is not sent faster than the speed of the vortices, which is slow compared to the fluid. Planck's constant has dimension of angular momentum, and could be a statistical average of the vorticity of the vaccum. Gravitational anomalies can also be explained by vortex secondary fluids, when shear forces are taken into account.

He's saying the same thing about quantum mechanics that NDT was saying about gravity, with regards to how it is used and how much we really understand, except this guy is humble enough to admit that science doesn't truly understand how QM works, despite using the hell out of it to advance humans technologically. He's validating Joe's curiosity about the why that NDT poopooed all over

[@johnschuh8616]

Well, Einstein was smart enough to realize he did not understand what “gravity” is. He did know it is not “like” magnetism.

@@johnschuh8616 He understood it better than everyone also though. I mean it is his theory that people are using to this day!

I have a masters in physics, Sean Carroll explains it best IMO. He nails making it simple, but not simpler

[@user-jh3rx3ej7h]

@Dawei Zhao John Hagelin is unfortunately a crackpot who went off the deep end. You are correct, he does have a seemingly impressive background and his early work was completely valid and he made important early (though somewhat minor) contributions in particle theory. It appears from Wikipedia that at some point in the mid 80s, he went into full-crackpot mode and began attempting to connect his work on string theory with consciousness. This is not an idea that any respectable physicist takes seriously. String theory has zero to do with consciousness and there is not even a precise definition of what consciousness even is. Regardless of how impressive his background appears, his ideas relating consciousness and physics are crackpot and there is no evidence for any of them. Quantum mechanics has zero to do with consciouness. The idea that some physical aspect of the universe depends on conscious observers and somehow isn't present without us here is absurd and is not taken seriously by almost any physicists. As a person within physics, this is about all that I can tell you regarding him.

[@user-jh3rx3ej7h]

@Dawei Zhao It's not that physicists don't take consciousness seriously. Many do! It is just an insanely hard problem and at this point, there is no precise, agreed upon definition of what constitutes consciousness and what does not. Eugene Wigner, who was one of the most famous pioneers of quantum mechanics, was the originator of this idea tying wave function collapse to consciousness. If you've at least read about Hagelin, you probably are aware that Roger Penrose tried to formulate a picture of consciousness and quantum mechanics through microtubules in the brain. Physicists most certainly agree that at some level, some quantum mechanical process must occur in the brain related to consciousness, as the brain itself is made up of the same atoms obeying the laws of quantum mechanics. The debate mostly stems over whether quantum mechanics is strictly necessary to describe consciousness arising or whether it can emerge in an entirely classical model. To my knowledge, I don't believe that most people trained in quantum physics take the idea too seriously mostly due to the fact that if one imagines some sort of quantum entanglement being the central feature of how consciousness arises between different neurons in the brain, a system would decohere within extremely short time periods, making it difficult to imagine how superpositions of different states in the brain could be maintained to allow thinking and computation and so on. The Wikipedia page has some decent discussion on this if you haven't read it: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_mind

[@user-jh3rx3ej7h]

@Dawei Zhao The issue with your view, like I said, is defining clearly what is and isn't consciousness. If you define consciousness as being composed of particles obeying string theory, for example, then assuming that string theory is correct, every atom in the universe would be "conscious" under this definition, which is absurd. People in neuroscience generally agree that a basic definition of consciousness must involve some ability of self-perception and that the self-perception must involve some sort of biochemical process involving, at least in biological organisms, some complicated system of electrical signals, as there is no evidence that non-living objects can think or self-perceive or have any such signals originating from their structure in the same way that a biological organism can. It is insane to think that under any reasonable definition, a brick or a rock is a conscious object. You should not invest much in what John Hagelin has to say. While I admittedly am not an expert on particle physics theory, I believe I know enough to comment on what is valid science and what is not and what is accepted for highly technical reasons within the particle physics community and what is not. It is highly unlikely that because he published a couple of papers in an obscure journal (automatic red flag), that he has discovered a "unified field." Theoretical physics is dominated by incorrect models which, at least historically, the overwhelming majority proven wrong by experiments, with only a small handful emerging as being actual aspects of our universe.

1. There is a limit to our knowledge as humans. There is a limit to what we can measure. You can not observe the quantum realm. We interfere to much with the quantum realm to be able to measure or observe it. 2. Gravity is not a force perse, it is a by product, a push or pull depending on the charges of particles or their destruction.

[@melvinbutters2865]

[@jorgepeterbarton]

stuff falls down. OR time gets bendy OR 'its irrelevant to quantum physics' OR in some potentially impossible state we could never make quantum and gravity don't work together so we're wrong. So lets invent loads of math for that eventuality. Works on many levels...only really the latter we don't know about but its not that they are struggling to know about it: its much worse-- they struggle to invent the scenario where they wouldn't understand it...

[@callanc3925]

we dont "know" how anything works, we just have best guesses

[@kevint1910]

the Feynman quote is actually "anyone who claims to understand quantum physics does not understand quantum physics" and he was speaking to academics EXACTLY like Dr Carroll who think they need a grand "unifying" theory to link quantum electrodynamics to the "real world". this is PURE cognitive bias the assumption being that the world we experience is more real than the stuff that it is made of.

[@Shadow05eth]

I completely agree with Sean Carroll but a lot of people don't know that there is also the danger of going crazy in these types of question. The most classic kind craziness is the "Einstein Syndrome" where a guy thinks he is a misunderstood genius of some kind but his "theories" are actually just bad math, confirmation bias and sometime even some kind of weird philosophical stuff. As a physics student I've seen a few people who got down that road and it's really sad to see because they don't understand that they are wrong and why are they not taken seriously. After some times it becomes personal. some kind of "me against the world" mentality. This is one of the reasons why the question "why?" in physics is not very popular. "why" is not precise enough and it depends on your own level of understanding of a topic. The correct question in physics is "how?". "How do things happen?" not "why do things happen?". It might seem like a small nuance but it is an extremely important one. It makes the difference between good physics and Deepak Chopra. Other than that Sean Carroll is completely right here. Nowadays we don't make groundbreaking discoveries. Only technological advances and confirmation of old theories. The main reason for that is ,in my opinion, not the lack of good questions or a lack of interest in the nature of things but actually overspecialization in one subject. Physicists are now so over specialized in their field that they can't talk about anything other than their very specific research subject. To make new groundbreaking discoveries we need generalizations not specializations. A global view on physics not a very particular and different point of view for every specific subject.

[@squirlmy]

Also, physicist used to get money from Defense departments. They wanted the next nuclear bomb or satellite tech. Without a Cold War, no money for research, crumbs for orgs like NASA. And because Fossil Fuels dominate the energy industry and we did not go nuclear powered (which would have been much better environmentally)

I’ve got a degree in Physics. I HATE the way Quantum Mechanics is explained! The way it’s explained: The observer affects reality. Ergo, reality is not created until it is observed. Ergo the human mind has a strange connection with the universe. WHAT??? This immediately leads to confusion and it’s not just crappy documentaries muddying the waters. Plenty of physicists buy into this baloney too. Einstein famously asked his friend, “Do you really think the moon stops existing when nobody looks?” Amen, Albert! Amen! It is not the observation that matters! The observation does NOT create reality dammit!!! Replace “observation” in the “observation effect” with “interaction” and you remove the confusion! When a particle (hydrogen in the sun’s core for instance) INTERACTS with another hydrogen to fuse and create helium, the particles undergo quantum tunneling and waveform collapse regardless of who the hell is “observing” on earth! It’s just a bunch of Physicists getting cute with the language and leaping from interaction to observation because they know a priori that to observe requires interaction. Quantum Mechanics happens all the time even when nobody is observing! And it happens because of INTERACTION not observation! Grrrrrrr! A new pristine quanta of light emitted from an atom may have an infinite number of possible polarizations only one of which survives interaction with the rest of the universe. This is waveform collapse and it depends on interaction and doesn’t give a damn who or what is observing.
