Quantum theory has undergone three revolutions, with the first being the foundational period from 1902 to around 1970. This era covered the development of key concepts like Planck’s blackbody radiation, Einstein’s photoelectric effect, the Bohr atom, Schrödinger’s equation, Heisenberg’s matrix mechanics, and Dirac’s work on the electron. The second revolution, influenced by a group of renegade physicists in the 1970s, led to the rise of quantum information theory and quantum computing. This shift was partly inspired by the exploration of the connections between quantum mechanics and consciousness, with early thinkers like Bohr, Heisenberg, Wigner, and von Neumann contemplating the role of consciousness in collapsing the quantum wavefunction.
The third revolution, which the narrator seems to have played a significant role in, involves the development of ‘post-quantum theory’. This theory introduces the concept of retrocausality, where the future can influence the present, challenging the traditional view of causality and determinism. In this new framework, quantum mechanics is no longer purely statistical, and ‘God does not play dice with the universe’, as Einstein famously sought to prove. The post-quantum mechanics described in the article suggests that particles can interact with both their past and future states, leading to a non-deterministic, self-organizing system that could potentially solve problems beyond the capabilities of classical and quantum computers.
This new theory also implies that entanglement can be used for direct communication, which could have profound implications for quantum computing and our understanding of consciousness. The narrator connects these ideas with the concept of the universe as a conscious computer, where quantum fields represent thoughts and the back-reaction or signal from the environment is akin to consciousness itself. This model of the universe combines the physical with the mental, suggesting that creativity and precognition could be explained through this advanced understanding of quantum mechanics.
The discussion concludes with the notion that the observable universe, defined by the cosmic event horizons, could be a quantum computational structure that processes information in a way that gives rise to consciousness. This aligns with the holographic principle and the ER=EPR conjecture, which propose a deep connection between quantum entanglement and the geometry of spacetime. The article implies that by embracing the post-quantum theory, we could unlock new technological advancements and a greater understanding of the nature of reality.
Key Takeaways:
- The first quantum revolution involved foundational discoveries in atomic and solid-state physics, including Planck’s blackbody radiation and Einstein’s photoelectric effect.
- A second quantum revolution, driven by a group of unconventional physicists, led to the development of quantum information theory and the concept of quantum computing.
- Theories suggesting a deep connection between quantum mechanics and consciousness have been proposed, exploring ideas like the wave function’s relation to thought and the possibility of retrocausality.
“According to David Kaiser, my group of pirates, renegade physicists starting around early 1970s to about now to that 2015 was according to the book oh where is that book yeah according to David kaisers book how the hippie save physics our little band of misfits we created the second quantum computer quantum information revolution because we were in fact I was already I did I sort of discovered a precursor in the Bell’s Theorem in 1960”
