What Is Reality: A Fascinating Must-Watch Mini-Documentary On The Quantum...

in #science7 years ago

T’is exciting times we’re living in, with all kinds of new leaps in the sciences of quantum physics and quantum mechanics opening awareness into new dimensions of the universe we’re living in.

While the realms of these sciences are perplexing to even the specialists within them, more of the general public has been developing an interest, partly due to works like the popular documentary, What The Bleep Do We Know?

And for anyone who’s watched the film and/or been interested in such quantum topics, I’d like to recommend another half-hour mini-documentary available on YouTube: What Is Reality?



Put together by the Quantum Gravity Research organization, the film takes a look at their Emergence Theory, while piecing together cool bits of information from various branches of quantum physics and mechanics.

And the videography is excellent.

This is by no means an exhaustive in-depth work, and keep in mind that it is still a theory. However, I personally found this to be a great, stimulating watch that was a real pleasure - especially given the quality of visual graphic design and cinematography.

Not too much more to say on this, other than if you’re interested in subjects like these, it’s well-worth a watch or two.

Enjoy!

A great piece to share with the world, thank you so very much for doing so and allowing many others to take conscience of this knowledge. All for one and one for all!

Even Einstein wondered about what he called "The Field" as to whether or not it was consciousness. He had some flamboyant discussions in relation to this with two other major physicists that were also present at the famous 1927 Conference... Long story short, the story goes on, unsurprisingly.

Upvoted, resteemed and shared!

Namaste :)

Your welcome. ;-)

Would you happen to know by any chance why "eigen values" such as 0, 1 and 2 are called trivial???

no clue. sounds like Russian to me. lol.

I love this theory! However, it seems to have roots in the observer requirement supposed to be necessary in the double slit experiment, which Bohm-de Broglie (PIlot Wave) theory renders unnecessary.

The Copenhagen school of quantum mechanics is famously not consilient with classical physics, and this caused Einstein no little pause, as ontology is preserved in every other scientific endeavor.

I remain skeptical because of this. I feel pretty certain that the hubris of smart guys lead them to promote their Copenhagen interpretation (also, they made a lot of money doing it), and that Pilot Wave theory better fits the principle of consilience, and also preserves ontology.

The Copenhagen school, Bohr, Oppenheimer, Von Neuman, etc., sorta just ridiculed anyone that presented alternative explanations, and, despite that no predictions depended on the failure of consilience and ontology that their interpretation demanded, they dominated the discussion. This didn't make them right.

However, it made them dominant, and the next generation of students in the field were taught their interpretation, and so it goes. The genesis of Emergence theory from the observer requirement of the double slit experiment therefore is a weakness, from my perspective. To extrapolate from there to a universal consciousness (let's cut to the chase and just call it God) is a return to ontological consilience, 'cuz we can easily understand it.

It's kinda comfy.

Despite my reticence, I very much like this Emergence theory, as it meshes perfectly with my own conjecture, which I call 'The Giant Space Robots of Love From the Future' (which is basically that AI is gonna get so smart it'll go back in time and create the universe. I know, not all that original, but it gets me a lot of free drinks).

Thanks for adding more information on Emergence theory to my arsenal! More free drinks!

Oh man.

This takes the trophy for the most intelligent, mind-twisting comment I’ve gotten in a while. Qualiy food for contemplation. 🙏

Mmm


Good theory.. What do you think? What's reality? Information or geometry?Pretty serious stuff Sir, @rok-sivante. First time I'm hearing about 8D...

Good post my friend :-)

Excellent video graphy

Thank you for the recommendation! I'll make sure to check it out.

This fucking video is gold... Like i've never seen anything better!!!

Nice post

ha ha. yeah, it's a gem. :-)

I hadn't watched this yet, but have been familiar with quantumgravity.org for a few years.
The wondrous nature of a theory is that it's always falsifiable, no matter how much data supports it! .
The doctrinaire mentality finds this threatening in the extreme, positively terrifying...

And this verifies that Bucky Fuller was the prototypical quantum engineer...

true. though at the least, the film provides some great entertainment and stimulation of thought...

Wow i must say this js awesome. Thanks for sharing this. I have upvoted and i will resteem it so others can see and benefit from it. @rok-sivante

That was awesome! Thanks for sharing

Yeah, I've seen that mini documentary when it got out and I found it pretty interesting.

There is no resteem on this post ......... WAAAAH !!!!
sorry, I'm gonna have to steal and repost,,, its too good to not promote!

Not resteem? Hmm. Maybe can’t resteem anything more than a week after it was published...

ya, this is all WAY NEW to me,,, but i'm figuring stuff out slowly! Pura Vida!
