Code for solving the Schrödinger equation by Jonny Hyman available here: https://github.com/jonnyhyman/QuantumWaves

I learned quantum mechanics the traditional ‘Copenhagen Interpretation’ way. We can use the Schrödinger equation to solve for and evolve wave functions. Then we invoke wave-particle duality, in essence things we detect as particles can behave as waves when they aren’t interacting with anything. But when there is a measurement, the wave function collapses leaving us with a definite particle detection. If we repeat the experiment many times, we find the statistics of these results mirror the amplitude of the wave function squared. Hence the Born rule came into being, saying the wave function should be interpreted statistically, that our universe at the most fundamental scale is probabilistic rather than deterministic. This did not sit well with scientists like Einstein and Schrödinger who believed there must be more going on, perhaps ‘hidden variables’.

In the 1950’s Hugh Everett proposed the Many Worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics. It is so logical in hindsight but with a bias towards the classical world, experiments and measurements to guide their thinking, it’s understandable why the founders of quantum theory didn’t come up with it. Rather than proposing different dynamics for measurement, Everett suggests that measurement is something that happens naturally in the course of quantum particles interacting with each other. The conclusion is inescapable. There is nothing special about measurement, it is just the observer becoming entangled with a wave function in a superposition. Since one observer can experience only their own branch, it appears as if the other possibilities have disappeared but in reality there is no reason why they could not still exist and just fail to interact with the other branches. This is caused by environmental decoherence.

  1. This all explains why this universe seems faked & False.
    And it also explains why I don’t seem to fear death anymore
    Especially since we all must die anyway.

    When I study both Dogs spelled backwards
    I see them as beings who seems to be communicating with us
    And they know who We Are, as We look down at them as if We Know them

    And the CAT is much smarter & is as independent as a TAC-k
    The Kings English seems to be designed as a language that keeps us Confused & Divided – as if it was designed to Test our Brains & to Keep us in a Cage as in the word Capitalism & Slavery Actually Means the Same

    Especially when words like Socializing & Communities are taboos to promote words like Haters & Wars under Leaders Who work for the Goals
    This would explain, why “Race” is a word to a Contest of Who Wins the Gold …

    Then when you reverse anything, the Truth seems to Appear, instantly
    Plus every morning when I WAKE UP – I do receive Answers to my Questions.

    And Finally Words like ME & WE – are compatible with Theory’s like the Golden Rule
    As the Law we all should recognize – especially when the word GOD means DOG
    When it’s Reversed.

    The Wizard of Oz Fairytale, woke Me up, when I studied the Man named Donald Trump
    Who reversed everything, to Wake us All Up….

    The word LOVE spelled backwards – is another Key to the Truth
    EVOLed = We do Not Die and the Mirror shows Us when We Point both ways
    GOD does equal DOG … The False Gods 😤👉🏼👈🏼🤣 or Deceivers

    ⭕️ Represents Karma & The MIRROR – Once the Brain is Focused
    As being both Right & Left of The Truths

  2. One of the best explanations is boiling milk. When you are looking, milk actually already boils but we cant see it. When you look away, it quickly becomes a mess. 😅

  3. A question: Why do we seem to believe that the laws of Physics are the same everywhere in every universe? In other words, are our Laws of Physics the Laws of Physics?

  4. for the schrodingers cat experiment, what i dont understand is like, for instance, if we put a camera in there, or the box is transparent, if this experiment was in fact true/possible, shouldnt we see a dead and an alive cat? i may just be missing the point but this doesnt seem very possible. even the man himself said it didnt make sense in the end didnt he?

  5. In Carlos Castaneda books – Don Juan Matus reveals that, like the layers of an onion, there are worlds existing within our own.
    Matter, it seems – has awareness! Our hindrance is to lack the speed, and energy to be able to perceive these worlds which are just right besides our temples!
    Don Juan adds that within this actual world there is someone like us, our opposite, and that finding that being while alive is all that really matters in this life!

  6. There are different kinds of infinities. Just because the universe is infinite doesn't mean everything has to happen. You can have an infinite series of even numbers and will never have a prime number. You could have an infinite universe and never get the prime number of you being president.

  7. 6 a.m. I just woke up, and this has thrown me into a deep spiral of thoughts which can only be partially understood since i have only about 10 hours of quantum mechanics (informal) education from back when i heard about the observation problem and binged simulation theory youtube videos for a few days

  8. Parallel Universes: Possibly exists

    Tiktok red: Hey, does than mean we can shift our consciousness to a parallel us from a parallel universe?

    TheOddOnesOut: silence No.

  9. Could the 'two' entangled particles actually be the apparent protrusions in 3 dimensions of the same object existing in a higher dimension? That way the 3 dimensional distance between them would be totally irrelevant as any change would pass instantly from one to the other via a higher dimension. If you imagine it in 2 and 3 dimensions. You have a 3 dimensional tube which you bend and each end passes through a 2 dimensional plane as a circle. Therefore in the 2d world you will have two apparently distinct circles (each one just a protrusion into the 2d world of the 3d object). One would be rotating in the opposite way to the other (but of course in 3d they are the same – rotate a bent tube and you will see the ends in 2d apparently rotating opposite ways). They would be instantly linked via the tube structure not present in the 2d world so any effect on one circle would immediately affect the other circle faster than the flat 2d distance between the circles.

  10. Most likely God chooses what physical reality your consciousness is surfing on and discards the infinite nonsense that would result in you or I being Jesus on the cross and a bible written about us. π7π⁷

  11. So there are infinite universes where everyone is really surprised at the outcomes of each experiment, except this one, where everything is a bit more predictable and stable? Nah. Unless this is the only one that matters.
