An interpretation of Quantum Mechanics (inspired by psychedelics!) * 1
    #28416324 - 08/01/23 03:07 PM (9 months, 12 days ago)

I know what you're thinking: that I'm off my rocker, or that I'm just going to start spouting some pseudo-mystical nonsense. However, if you are physics-minded (or even better - a physicist!), I am hoping you'll at least hear me out. I mean, a question regarding Quantum Mechanics is currently one of the top posts on this board at this very moment!

I authored an interpretation of Quantum Mechanics which I called the Bellum Deorum Interpretation (BDI). The goals are simple. First, to explain:
  • What is the point of quantum mechanics? Why the hell is it so weird, and what is its actual function?
  • Baryon asymmetry in our universe (where did all the antimatter go?)
  • Why does antimatter seem to be normal matter that runs backwards in time?
  • Why does our universe seem to be fine-tuned for the existence of life?
  • Why does entropy go in only one direction?


And second, to unite science (physics and mathematics) with religion and philosophy. I believe BDI can provide real meaning to our lives, while simultaneously eliminating paradoxes such as:


So, here's a TL;DR version of the interpretation. I know it's still long, but there is some complexity to get past.

One of the greatest mysteries of our universe is a big one: Where did all the antimatter go? When the universe began, matter and antimatter *should* have been created in equal parts. Given Einstein's famous equation E=mc^2, you can create matter if you can pump enough energy into one spot. However, equal parts of matter and antimatter are always created when we do this experimentally. There has never been a single recorded instance where an imbalance of matter and antimatter has been created.

If you are familiar with physics, you might be familiar with what is called CPT-symmetry. Most modern physics is based on the concept that CPT (charge, parity, and time) symmetry cannot be violated, meaning it is a fundamental symmetry of nature. So, mathematically extrapolating backwards from our current universe, this would show that the antimatter may have gone backwards in time from the big bang. Meaning, if you could somehow travel 13.7 billion years in the past and then keep going further back, you could possibly watch the birth of universe's counterpart - our mirror anti-universe. Because of the uncertainty principle, these universes would NOT be an exact copy.

What does this have to do with quantum mechanics?

Well, first I need you to drop every pre-conception you have about God and religion. Whether you think he exists or he doesn't - open your mind up to new possibilities.

Okay - ready?

What if you were to assign both universes each their own superintelligent consciousness, and then assume that they are in competition against each other? The goal is to make the more interesting or conscious universe. Quantum mechanics, then, becomes that way that competition is played. (Going forward, I'll refer to these superintelligent beings as GCs, or "godlike-consciousnesses.")

Quantum mechanics shows us that before a measurement is made, the properties of particles are a smearing of probabilities. Under BDI, that is simply because a query has not yet been made to determine its state. Once an interaction occurs, the query is performed, and a state is chosen.

How the competition is actually played is still a mystery, and would be difficult to determine. However, there are two possibilities I have come up with:
  • If the outcome of the chosen state is actually completely random, the GCs might take turns using virtual particles to create chains of entanglement, based upon the probability of the outcome.
  • Otherwise, the GCs might take turns in selecting states. They would have to work with or against the probabilities given by the wave function. Therefore, each GC might have a certain amount of "power" available to them so that they could not consistently choose very-improbable solutions. They would then still use virtual particles to create entanglement chains.


The combinations of these moves is what builds both universes. The chains of entangled particles might span across both universes; at which point, the GC would try to benefit their own universe while simultaneously harming their opponent's.

Within this framework, the list of paradoxes and questions that would not be answered is much shorter than the list of those it would address. It would mean that the beings people refer to as God and Satan both exist, and they are doing their best to create in their own universe. Conversely, it also means that they are both destroyers. To beings that might exist in the anti-verse, that would mean the being we call God would be their Satan.

What does this have to do with psychedelics?

Long version: here.

Short version: I believe our brains are biological hybrid quantum (and classical) computers. A lot of folks disagree, but we find out every day that life has figured out tricks and hacks to exploit quantum mechanics in ways we never thought possible.

From the site:
Quote:

The prediction regarding our brains being quantum-classical hybrids could explain altered states of consciousness during meditation, sensory deprivation, and even the use of psychedelic drugs. During both meditation and sensory deprivation, the objective is to calm and quiet the parts of the brain that generally deal with normal, day-to-day stresses and stimuli. Meditation accomplishes this through practicing mindfulness and attempting to focus thoughts to circumvent the brain’s "autopilot". Sensory deprivation achieves this through a more direct method, simply denying that portion of the brain any stimuli. Psychedelics take the full-on brute force method – they directly inhibit activity in that portion of the brain. Disclaimer: Please do not mistake this as advocating illegal drug use, as I absolutely do not. However, this could mean that in all three of these states, the classical portions of subjects’ brains are inhibited, and consciousness is altered in a way that they could more directly experience the quantum influences of both GCs. This could explain why meditation is practiced in nearly every major religion, including Sikhism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam. It could also explain why the Aztec and Mayan cultures (both of whom were remarkably advanced for their time, as well as extremely brutal in their rituals) worshiped psychedelic mushrooms and used them extensively in religious ceremonies. In addition, this could explain why all three of these practices often lead to visual and auditory hallucinations.




If the classical side of your brain becomes incapacitated, and what's left active is the quantum-side of your consciousness, you become able to more-directly "hear" both GCs. I believe this is why it is common to experience both religious experiences and the feeling of "feeling connected to the universe" while under the influence of psychedelics.

There is a LOT more in the full interpretation on how this all fits in with the known laws of physics, and provides more possible functions for other areas of physics including relativity, the uncertainty principle, and the no hiding theorem (conservation of quantum information).

I realize this was a long post, so thank you if you've managed to stick with me. I appreciate any feedback and fully welcome open discussion, including if you think I'm full of it! If you have questions, please ask away.

I feel like I replied to another thread about quantum physics. The premise seems very familiar how psychedelics would affect your perception of the double slit experiment how quantum particles seem to exist in two states at once Schrodinger's cat Etc.

I simply did not want to repeat myself. Also I kind of don't understand the question in this thread.

My general opinion is that quantum mechanics in themselves make much more sense where it's practically applied. In some ways quantum theory has led to to the actual application of real science and things we experience on a daily basis. As far as the Paradox stuff and all the wild theories and far out black holes and stuff like that this is where I kind of stop following along with quantum mechanics. When they are things that are applied and as wild as the concept is we see the actual reactions of Applied quantum mechanics in everyday physics it makes sense. When the wild Theories start rolling out multiple universes, infinite gravity plus infinite density equals infinite singularity one continues to increase the other, breaking the speed limit of light, time dilation, light being affected by gravity where it usually isn't, the sort of stuff we cannot apply here on Earth and everyday physics is where I really get lost and start disbelieving that any of that type of science is quantifiable on everyday practical levels.

I'm sure the same was once said about E = MC2 and nuclear fission and nuclear fusion and subatomic particles and Neutron radiation and antimatter Etc. But regardless in this day and age that's everyday science it's everyday physics it's not still "totally widely theoretical" with a tag of fundamental properties of physics.

So I got a little repetitive here. It's the only reason I just didn't really want to reply is I already went on about this in another thread.

Except the matter we see in the universe today was created after the big bang and not during it. Not to mention antiparticles traveling to a time before they were created has never been observed. So explanation discarded.

I clicked on this thread hoping for some exposition about the relationship of quantum chromodynamics to the properties of matter composed of hadrons, through a psychedelic lens.


I'm not saying that the theory I found here isn't interesting, but is it really an interpretation of quantum mechanics?

One can use hadrons and chromodynamics to explain antimatter as the quark inverse of matter. Over time and under certain conditions quark inversions can occur resulting in a matter to antimatter conversion that would be reversible, if not for annihilation. 

The idea of a temporal inverse is not the same as time moving backward. Isn't it more akin to a type of isomer? An inverse isomer set, like an antiproton and a proton are polar opposites without invoking time flowing in reverse... no? They do have inverse electron spins though, right?

If one considers polarity as a type of ubiquitous material property, which it sure seems to be to me, then the presence of polarity occurs in the same universe, rather than implying some sort of mirror universe concept, doesn't it?

The God and Satan stuff, with them being a polar set of opposites is quite creative, but isn't it also inconsistent with the concepts as they exist in religion, and if it is inconsistent, doesn't that mean you are writing about something distinct from what those concepts mean to others?

I have my own TOE, but it is remarkably mundane compared to this.
Certainly I believe that dark matter can be explained in terms of quarks and hadrons, using the geometry of quantum chromodynamics, but I admit in comparison to the material above that does seem exceedingly bland.

Interesting stuff.
