Yes, I’m not sure there is any such thing as “random”.
“First put forward by Louis de Broglie in 1927, the interpretation treats quantum objects just like classical particles, but imagines them riding like a surfer on top of a so-called pilot wave.
The wave is still probabilistic, but the particle does take a real trajectory from source to target.”
I think deBroglie was about 90% right. What he missed is that the particle IS the pilot wave. It just has a standing wave at its center that appears to us as a particle.
You think exactly like Albert Einstein and other great minds.
Taking the "Jinks in the machine" and it's connection to human conciseness into consideration, how much of an effect does the conciseness of the scientist at the time have on the outcome of the experiment? If they "believe" there will be a certain outcome, wouldn't that interfere with the final results? If so, how much?
It's the perplexing mind over matter thing. How much does the conciseness of the scientists play a role? If thought is energy, and that energy resonates at a certain vibration, what affect would that have on particles - which themselves are energy? What about the possibility of entrainment?
(I think about weird stuff. So many questions and so little time.)
Ahhhhhhh.....Quantum Entanglement.
Just writing it makes my head hurt.
There has to be. The possibilities start out as virtually endless. (Eventually, though, all possibilities will run out, and then there's no turning back.)
Randomness indicates actions, not possiblities.
Between existence and non-existence there is no mean. This principle is inviolable. To declare that something oscillates between existence and non-existence is illogical, and untrue.
Particles do not pop in and out of existence. The Universe does not pop in and out of existence.
Any theory of the Universe that contradicts that, is an invalid theory and untrue.
The evidence is collecting that waves are physically real things, but what the wave medium is is anybody's guess. If there's an edge to the wave medium, any waves hitting it should bounce back like hitting a mirror.
“conciseness” = consciousness?
Quantum ping
Sorry. Misunderstood the post. I'm more of a Fred Allen Wolf type fan. I believe conciseness does affect matter, and I have a tendency to see and read everything from that perspective.
I read the post to say: "There's no such thing as coincidences." .
I’m sure I’m not the only one, but quantum mechanics was something of a “brick wall” I hit in my study of physics.
Up until that point, I was comfortable with physics, even if I didn’t understand every nuance. But I could never get my head around QM.
If there is no randomness then the entire past and future of the universe is knowable.
LOL. I even used spell checker.
I've never bragged about my spelling abilities. I have GOT to be the worst speller on the planet. And my comma splices are legendary. My children will be telling stories about my spelling to their children and their children's children someday!
Those are the students that go on to contribute to QM. The students that think they understand it cause all the trouble.
Knowable to God, if he wanted to skip to the end of the book, but we're forever cut off from being able to do that. So for us randomness really exists, even though it really doesn't.
