StarMountainKid Posted July 9, 2018 #32 Share Posted July 9, 2018 The nature of Reality is pretty strange, and whether quantum theory and relativity theory thoroughly describes reality, or whether there is something more fundamental, no one knows. It seems to me the real question is, why does there this Reality we find ourselves in exist at all? If it's a simulation, that just leads to an infinite regression. If Reality is a naturally occurring phenomenon, there is no ultimate reason for its existence. It just is. An artificial or mental simulation doesn't answer this question. Hung Po, or some Ch'an buddhist a thousand years ago said, "The nature of reality is invisible and cannot be understood by the conscious mind." In other words, the closest we can get to the nature of reality is to forget everything and just be, as this is the way of the natural world. The natural world operates by itself with no exterior motive. When we try to add intellectual 'extras' to the world we loose our sense of harmony with nature, of which we are a natural expression. . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the double slit experiments we are looking at measuring devices, not the phenomenon itself. The measuring device is going to measure what it measures whether we glance at the data or not. I know there are several interpretations of the wave collapse, but, IMO, the others both lack logic and ignore the quantum eraser experiment + the delayed choice quantum eraser experiment results. Those experiments show that the particles "know" if they're being measured, before they arrive at their destination, and they show that the reading of the results is paramount to the collapse itself. Besides, it's unscientific to call my interpretation wrong, and your own right. I'm not claiming anthing, just saying it CAN point to my conclusion. I'm quoting Bohr and Heisenberg because nothing has changed since they made their discoveries 100 years ago. We are none the smarter. There may be more theories and opinions about the results, but the wave collapse is still exactly the same now as it was back then, as in 'nothing new has been discovered'. So their words and intentions still hold. Even if many psysicists, then and now, might disagree. Edited July 10, 2018 by sci-nerd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know this if the data is being collected and interpreted after the experiment has taken place? In the delayed choice quantum eraser, you get the interference pattern depending how you use the results or just ignore them. The collapse is mathematical. It's like saying the dinosaurs knew in advance humans would discover their remains, and thus died where we'd find them.

When I wrote that the particles "know" I used quotation marks for a reason. Of course they don't know anything. But they "behave" as if they do. With decoherence the system becomes part of the surrounding environment, and is subjected to its entropy. It becomes contaminated. I do not necessarily agree that this contamination is equal to measurement/observation, and that it causes wave-collapse. They might as well be two different things. As with so many other quantum phenomenons, it is a matter of interpretation. Edited July 10, 2018 by sci-nerd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you rather be lied to? I did learn it all in a year, but it took me an additional two years to comprehend it all, and put it in system. So, from I started, till I had a complete overview, it took three years. And I am still learning new details and exploring new theories. It will never stop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonman Posted July 10, 2018 #40 Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) There's a distinct difference between being formally taught a subject vs just reading about it on the internet. Braggarts need not mention the latter, unless they like getting laughed out of the room. Edited July 10, 2018 by moonman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonman Posted July 10, 2018 #41 Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) I suggest that the OP post this on a forum where the users are trained experts in these fields, and see how long it takes to be taken down a few pegs from the "I'm so smart I know everything I'm a genius" mindframe he seems to be stuck in.

StarMountainKid Posted July 10, 2018 #42 Share Posted July 10, 2018 "The correct statement of the laws of physics involves some very unfamiliar ideas which require advanced mathematics for their description.

zep73 Posted July 10, 2018 Author #43 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I'd like to correct a word I used in my OP. I wrote "observer" effect about the collapse of the wave function. That was presumptuous. I meant "measurement" effect. But since I refer to a model, that uses the observer interpretation, I thought it was within reason to use that word. I stand corrected.

danydandan Posted July 10, 2018 #48 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Mister Sci-nerd quy. You say you know everything. Can you answer the following and prove it thanks. C=5/9(F−32) The equation above shows how temperature F, measured in degrees Fahrenheit, relates to a temperature C, measured in degrees Celsius. Based on the equation, which of the following must be true? A temperature increase of 1 degree Fahrenheit is equivalent to a temperature increase of 59 degree Celsius. A temperature increase of 1 degree Celsius is equivalent to a temperature increase of 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit. Atemperature increase of 59 degree Fahrenheit is equivalent to a temperature increase of 1 degree Celsius. A. I only B. II only C. III only D.

Nothing is more annoying than a braggart who thinks they know everything, which is exactly what you are. But please, link us to one of your threads where some experts are in on the conversation. I'd love to hear what they think. Edited July 10, 2018 by moonman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
