Wojciech Zurek - Why is the Quantum So Strange?

To know reality, one must confront the quantum. It is how our world works at the deepest level. What's the quantum? It is bizarre, defying all common sense. Particles in two positions at the same time. Spooky action at a distance. It would sound absurd if it weren't true.

Consider the entropy spectrum, where the celestial is entropy-slow and the quantum is entropy-full/fast. This means that celestial gravity becomes quantum gravity-less, which suggests an object in the quantum realm would not require any force to move and thus appears in multiple locations instantly.

[@xspotbox4400]

This idea is nonsense. Some crack pots believe quantum particle fields oscillate at place and produce infinite versions of same object, with infinite slight variations producing infinite versions of same reality. Particles pulsate, each time the pulse reaches its peak a new timeline is born, continuing events slightly different in a parallel version of reality. That's just an idea, we would see duplicated or glitches in the matrix by now since those parallel timelines must exist very close, but we didn't.

[@mintakan003]

Is it possible that the explanation of the "measurement problem", "collapse of the wave function", rests only in the notion of "entanglement", and de-coherence? We don't know what realm the wave function belongs to (the "existential" question). We know it's at least a useful mathematical modeling tool ("information theoretic", "possibility"). The big mystery is the ontological nature of the wave function. But rather than "information" giving way to "existence", or multiplication of (classical?) universes to preserve wave function "purity", ... how about the big bang, the current universe, as we have it today, provides the basis collapse upon measurement? It becomes entangled with the wave function of the existing universe. We see what we see, as possibility entangled with what has gone before, what has already "crystalized". This is probably in line with some notion of "quantum darwinism", or Lee Smolin's notion of the arrow of time. The past is classical, and determined. The future is quantum, open for possibilities. The other area to look at is "Constructor theory" (David Deutsch, Chiara Marletto). (I barely understand it.). Given a true physical "randomness", indeterminacy of quantum reality, can one elaborate the physical transformations that are possible, and impossible? Randomness and evolution explores the "solution space". But its done within constraints. The universe emerged the way it did, with a set of "fine tuned" constants, and set of laws. Why did it evolve this way? Is this a unique solution? Or just as biological evolution, does our universe represent just one branch of many other possible "solutions"? And like biology, it stumbled upon a set of solutions that builds upon each other (?) Constructor theory provides a broader framework for not only exploring the micro world of the quantum, but the macro world of the biological. It offers the possibility of a unified framework.

[@xspotbox4400]

Constructor hypothesis is a science woo basically, it's epistemological nonsense, but it could become a great tool for philosophy of science. Epistemology deals only with very basics, how do we know something is true what we know is true. Constructor idea approaches the same problem from the other way around, how do we know what is not true what we know can't be true. Like when an apple falls from the tree, we know it will fall at a right angle to Earth's center of inertial mass, but we don't really understand why it doesn't fly in the sky or fall sideways.

@Jg235 is it really a choice?

[@litafbobpompeani7711]

Yep, if every particle takes every possible path in some timeline, there are gonna be particle paths that result in us playing a nickelback song and forcing others to hear it. That is terrible and is an act only committed by a monster...but perhaps not all timelines have conscious beings. (I'm risking sounding like a nut here...well a bigger one but let me put that philosopher cap on again) but maybe somehow both MWI AND dualism are true, so then what we are is a soul (or whatever you want to call it) that selects what timeline we experience to a certain degree by having freewill in our actions. So the particles that make us up could be behaving in accordance to the Schrödinger equation with every single possible outcome happening, but we being souls only will see the timelines in which we will to, meaning other timeline versions of yourself could just be inanimate particles with no awareness because you did not chose to experience taking those actions. Now of course I could be completely wrong. Many will probably argue that if materialism is true that the only mechanisms of what forms our "wants" are from the physical world and thus there are not multiple timelines to chose from to our perspectives. In a MWI framework for materialism this means all different timeline versions of yourself must be conscious in the same way and that the individual versions of someone has no choice but to do what they must in each of their respective timelines. But I am not completely sold on materialism, though most will probably take this view when considering MWI. But a dualist MWI framework would basically prove we have free will. It works perfectly for it. At every moment we'd have infinite choices and possible futures. Though the physical states must happen you can chose not to experience them. But there are problems with this too. There is the problem of solipsism. Unless there was a mechanism where all conscious beings are connected so that they always stay in the same branch you'd probably be the only conscious being in your timeline. Then there is also the problem of not being able to experience absurdly unlikely timelines and why is there a limit to what futures we can chose. We for example can't will ourselves to go into timelines where we phased through a wall via an insane amount of quantum tunneling happening at the same time, but the MWI suggests this MUST happen in some branch due to the need for every outcome allowed by the Schrodinger equation needing to happen. So a dualist MWI has to assert that there are certain limits to what timelines we can pick from and that we only can chose futures caused by our brain decisions. But other than that MWI with dualism makes those other physical states not seem as horrifying because then we'd know no one is suffering being forced to listen to nickelback. But again...I'm just some random meme account of bob pompeani so what do I know? There's also probably a timeline where I keep typing after this but no conscious being has to suffer from reading it!

The quantum is so strange because meaning in the macroscopic world becomes meaningless in the microscopic world. There are two types of meaning. Linguistic meaning and sensual meaning: explanatory coherence and physical coherence. Meaning itself is alignment with coherent references, the physical and the abstract. Physicists deal with matter and energy. At the quantum level there is no meaning to the word matter there is only measurement of properties. Charge, spin, momentum, position but where is the electron? It's like finding an elephant's footprints but no elephant. Linguistic meaning deals with the logical axioms of identity, contradiction, and excluded middle or exclusivity. Sensual meaning deals with visual, aural, nasal, lingual and epidermal impressions. Shapes, sounds, smells, tastes and touches and their myriad distinctions. The visual realm is the one most used by scientists because it has the most accessible distinctions. Shape, color, size, motion, etcetera. But what becomes of a sphere at the quantum level. As you shrink a sphere down to a certain level it becomes impossible to resolve that it is a sphere. It becomes immeasurable. It's meaning becomes uncorroborateable.

The many worlds interpretation is just an attempt by materialism to somehow explain the mystical and nonmaterial nature of the quantum world. It violates Occam’s razor, a principle which states when two theories that have the same predictions are being considered, the simpler one is most likely the correct one. In this case, especially in the quantum world, the simpler theory in direct conflict with materialism is idealism. Consciousness causing the collapse of a wave function leads to an idealistic universal view rather than a material one. Just the way that observation itself can cause this change seems to point to the idea that consciousness is fundamental while space and time are mental processes in consciousness. Most scientists subscribe with the materialist theory is due to the fact that an idealistic view consists of a larger universal consciousness (God, Divine Force - not necessarily in any religious context) which causes a direct conflict between science and anything remotely spiritual and religious. Materialism works for the macro world, but collapses and grasps for straws when the quantum world is considered.

[@xspotbox4400]

When it comes to simple, if you would be presented with Newtonian gravity and Einstein's relativity, which theory would you consider to be true? We can observe the objective world with simple relativistic tools, but not quantum, that's kinda true. But quantum miracles don't emerge on a large scale, so it's more likely miracles and magic are not real. Self awareness or consciousness is a quantum phenomenon, in a sense our brains are made from particles and our mind is a form of information, but that doesn't mean these sensations can influence material reality on their own. We can see functional organs very clearly trough basic mechanical tools, quantum effect in our body produce only common, plain materialistic biology.

[@clowntim1]

@@xspotbox4400 What I meant was that the many worlds interpretation in itself is bogus. I have billions and billions and billions of atoms in my body that are collapsing due to observation every second. The many worlds interpretation says that there is another world created for every collapse of an atom. If you even think about it logically, these worlds can’t even be studied or measured, causing us to circle back to the same question. Idealism plays key in here. We know that observation causes this collapse in super positional states, implying consciousness is a property that can materialistically cause an impact on our physical environment. This was proven by the double slit experiment. I think both Einstein’s relativity theory and newtonian theory have served us very well in terms of expanding our knowledge. Newtonian gravity still works around you in your everyday life, but when quantum particles are considered, I think we need to expand or start to consider some alternatives rather than not giving them any attention. The way magic is portrayed might not be real, but how consciousness can affect matter around it is magical to me.

@@xspotbox4400 Thanks, but I'd rather listen to a guy named, Albert Einstein “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.” So, you and all the smartest and most knowledgeable men on earth can rely mainly on their knowledge and reasoning but I'll just rely mainly on my simple IMAGINATION, faith, bible, heart and yes, even reasoning.

@@FredericEJohnson If Einstein said that, he was a crack pot. Except he didn't, and he wasn't the smartest man alive, not even by a long shot, only a very bright and successful genius. Einstein could very well tell imagination and creative imagination apart, he couldn't discover anything by listening to the fairy tales he escaped from when running away from insane Nazis. I will tell you his real quote, he was standing on shoulders of giants.

All that exists is dead matter except for us humans probably being conscious 🙃- Lawrence Krauss. All that exists is infinite pure consciousness- A brilliant conscious future physicist.

Do you mean the things you flush down the toilet are conscious too? Interesting.

From what im taught, nothing dead exists. The cosmos is eternally alive, as the cosmos is in God who is unbegotten. Nothing dies, only the physical silhouette of the ethereal body, which is the essence that can never perish. Looking at nature, nothing dead exists in nature on earth, and the earths nature is in the image of the stars. I don't even know what dead matter is. I've never heard about it.

@@S3RAVA3LM So rocks don't exist or they are alive? And nobody dies? So Elvis and JFK are still alive, right?

It's so depressing to see how the brilliant man David Bohm has completely gone unnoticed in the field of quantum mechanics. Such a shame 😞
