Local Realism Bites the Dust

Zeit magazine-pronounced ZITE. That's a long I. Sorry I'm nitpicking lol

10thdim, this is kind of off topic, but is it a possibility that otherwise fanciful things we imagine in our universe may exist within physical reality in another universe, or that our minds are continuously creating universes which contain those imagined things in various states of being?

[10thdim]

@ShortytheSquirrel This sounds a bit like what the movie Inception is going to be about, if I'm understanding the advance promo. Do dreams represent navigation through the information that becomes reality, and the abrupt shifts and impossible juxtapositions of a dream represent the extra-dimensional folds that become possible once we're beyond the limits of 4D spacetime? I'd like to think so. But this means that even in dreams we're not creating, but rather observing facets of the overall whole.

@10thdim Thanks for replying. I was very intrigued by the film promo and will probably see it when it comes to theatres here in NZ. BTW, I love your floating, disembodied head seen in some of your videos!

Muti-paths of the futer ..interesting... the multi paths of the past likewise!

Interesting thought - to know something before its "time." Our entire visual, as well as aural language (vehicle for communicating what is already known) comes to light the more we express the technology of its assimilation. It does seem that maybe in fact most answers/expressions are known before (or as) we communicate them. Then again there are those that "unfold" these things as it is being re-searched....,

I'm still trying to learn about quantum physics and its hard to wrap my head around, but you shed some light on the subject with your analogies.

[AngelKuja]

i see... i see haha XD.. Making more sense now.. I think you are getting at that reality is constructed in mind by means of some kind of information, but you can't really call that reality, just a temporary and dynamic assemblidge of an observed state of being, influenced by the environment and the different conditions that allow mind to be... Sounds like something the Buddha would teach...

[10thdim]

Right... there is something kind of Zen-like to the quantum mechanics concept that particles can be "this way, or that way, or simultaneously both/neither". Ultimately what we're talking about here is a way of thinking about reality that acknowledges the possibility that ancient wisdom, philosophy, spirituality, and science may be using different terminologies to describe the same thing - an underlying enfolded symmetry state from which everything else is derived.

Thanks for writing,

Rob

Heavy metal quantum physics.  My dream come true.

I think it's strange that a person with no formal training in quantum mechanics is acting like an authority on the subject. You should also look up the results of the Bell Inequality experiments. What it shows is that we must give up either locality or counterfactual definiteness. It's up to the experimenter to decide what to sacrifice, and that will have an effect on what interpretations of quantum mechanics they can accept. Don't push your interpretation on others, or present it as fact.

[10thdim]

Since this blog is about the recently reported results from new experiments by respected physicist Anton Zeilinger, I suggest you take up your issues with him. Go to the Seed Magazine website, search for Zeilinger, and read the article "The Reality Tests".

This is awesomely funny. Love it. Thank you, Rob.
