I cannot take this any longer. I need to write my thoughts somewhere.
I became interested in quantum mechanics over a year ago, thanks to youtube channel Looking glass universe. Since then I have been reading papers about quantum mechanics, for example on how it was proven, that mind can alter reality, mind over matter - monks could interfere with ongoing double slit experiment (Consciousness and the double-slit interference pattern, 2012)
[1]. Another example is CTMU, or The Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe:
A New Kind of Reality Theory
[2]. That was a hard one, but I got through it eventually. I understood a lot of things thanks to my computer science background (formal languages to be exact - I am a student of Information security [major]), but a lot of things also got lost on me.
From those papers I took some things. The main thought, that mind really can alter reality. Mind over matter. There is no reality without mind. Reality is the product of the mind. That is an insanely strong concept. Now we know it. We can shape reality with our mind. Thus placebo, pain suppressing (of course chemicals in the body and brain play a huge role in this, but so does the energy of our mind). Maybe we will evolve some kind of telekinesis in the far future generations.
We can shape reality with our mind.
So basically if you kill every living thing with a mind, the Universe ceases to exist.
I read other papers, from which I took some pretty scary facts. The main being, that the particles can predict future.
It is like we are in a simulation, the variables being optimized (like in a game, far objects are not loaded - their state is uncertain, they are on their wave function until we collapse it by giving them sense with our mind) so we cannot see, what we should not see yet.
The memories I have are a little fuzzy, I just cannot remember where I read about the particles predicting the future, fast google search gave me this article -
Scientists show future events decide what happens in the past, with a nice little quote
“A future event causes the photon to decide its past.” - Professor Andrew Truscott
and even better one I have already described
"Reality does not exist if you are not looking at it.” - Professor Andrew Truscott
But what I got from that article, or what I remember, is that it does not matter, if we perceive the particles directly with our mind or via a computer. You can measure the result with a computer, save the data, wait a year and then look at them - the wave function collapsed - it is like the particles knew then that you will look at the result a year later. That is infinitely scary for me. It is seriously like the universe did not want us to look at its base skeleton. Hiding some horrible truth from us, perhaps that we are in a simulation, because those things certainly seem a lot like pc game optimizations. Someone please tell me otherwise, I sometime go nearly crazy from this. It horrifies me. And also gives me my ultimate life goal, to live to at least 100 years of age, just so long as I can, so I have better chance, that I will live in a time, where scientists discovered the nature of reality, quantum mechanics, black holes and other obscure themes.
Also pretty amazing discovery I made is, that Immanuel Kant thought of quantum mechanics principle over a hundred years before it was discovered and researched by Planck, Schrödinger, Einstein, Heisenberg, Bohr, Feynman...(from Kantian Quantum Mechanics
[3]).
So here goes my another, totally unscientific, theory. We know that the Universe is constantly expanding. Could it be because we are still developing telescopes, computers and other apparatus to see further, to observe far universe - and that could be why we perceive it as expanding? Our experience about it is still growing. So is the Universe. We can see further, so more of the Universe's particles have to collapse their wave functions. We are gaining bigger understanding of the Universe. We are growing as a humanity. Our collective mind power is also growing. There is more people every day. We can potentially observer more and further. Is that why we perceive the Universe as expanding?
