Quantum Limits of Knowledge 2021

Monday 29th March, 2021

`Quantum theory' is not a single physical theory but a framework in which many different concrete theories fit. As such, a solution to the quantum measurement problem ought to provide a recipe to interpret each such concrete theory, in a mutually consistent way. But - with the exception of the Everett interpretation - the main extant solutions either try to make sense of the abstract framework as if it were concrete, or else interpret one particular quantum theory under the fiction that it is fundamental and exact. In either case, these approaches are unable to help themselves to the very theory-laden, level-relative ways in which quantum theory makes contact with 20 experiment in mainstream physics, and so are committed to major revisionary projects which have not been carried out even in outline. As such, only the Everett interpretation is currently suited to make sense of quantum physics as we find it.

Hi Professor Wallace,

I liked your youtube, it is very general and relevant philosophically speaking, I agree about the fact that concrete theories fit together when they seem to desribe the physicality. I have considered a kind of conjecture betweem my theory of spherisation, the evolution optimisation of the universal sphere or future sphere with quantum and cosmological 3D spheres and the strings.

It is mainly the philosophical origin of our topologies, geometries, matters, fields, waves the real secret, I consider coded 3D spheres in a superfluidity with 3 main systems, so actually we observe and measure our GR , the photons and the electromagnetic fields of our standard model but it seems that we must superimpose two other spacetimes if I can say, one for the cold dark matter and one for the space vacuum of this Dark energy, the main codes in my model are in this DE and the two others merging with this are like fuels permitting to create the topologies, geometries, fields.

I liked your idea because then quasicrystals indeed are important and the oscillators, and that can converge because they are in motions rotations vibrations oscillations these spheres.And so partitions appear. Your superfluid can be extrapolated , I consider this also in my model, and I told me that the E8 , 3 E8 superimposed in replacing the points or stings by these 3D spheres can answer with the correct finite primoridal serie.

And also that implies a kind of viscosity in these superfluidities and so we can utilise the chaos, disorders and turbulences for the rankings and that becomes relevant if we consider the riemann zeta function and the complex numbers for these trubulences. Now the real difficulty is to find the partitions, but they seem correlated witht hese spheres like an universal music.

That can converge with your ideas in sorting rationally the dimensionalities and in considering a pure 3D at all scales. See that in taking the finite series of spheres, 3 main primoridal series sent from the central cosmological sphere a kind of supermatter energy, so we can consider that they have the same number than this cosmological finite serie , I have calculated, it is the dirac large number oddly, and so we can play with these partitions, the informations and qubits can be correlated, but with qutrits to reach the quantum computing. The society D waves works with the annealings but it is not a real quantum computer.

Thanks for your youtube very relevant and general, congrats.

In fact it is this primitive ontology about the real primoridal origin the big secret, I have remarked that the majority of thinkers considered only this GR and the photons like primoridal essence and so they consider that the fields are the origin of our reality due to tensors and vibrations of points or strings at this planck scale in the einstein fields equations. But I see differently considering that the coded particles are the main essence and that this GR alone cannot solve our deep unknowns like the cosmological constant problem, the quantum gravitation, the DE and DM, and even the hard problem of consciousness.

The fields are real of course and are essential but they are emergent for me in my model , because they are in motions oscillations these spheres like foundamental mathematical and physical objects, it is there that the real relevance converge become important like a conjecture, it seems that these spheres and the pure 3D at all scales are the choice of this universe. What is the main cause ontologically and philosophically speaking? We come from what, is it a mathematical accident from a kind of infinite heat? and so we have the BB and photons only and strings inside oscillating and vibrating in 1D ? or have we a deeper logic from an infinite energy of consciousness coding these particles . I have thought a lot about all this in fact. I have remarked in all humility a foundamental philosophical problem about this BB alone , these strings and fields from this infinite heat. That does not really take into account the evolution. Because imagine that we have an infinite eternal consciousness , so before the physicality this thing has decided , I don t know why, maybe this thing that we cannot define was alone, so this thing has decided to create a physicality in evolution and code the informations. But if this infinity has been able to create a so complex universe with fields and oscillations , so why this thing has not created a more perfect universe more quickly and why for example this thing does not stop the sufferings or a murderer before the act. It is because the oscillations and fields in my conclusion are not the primoridal primitive essence, these strings or points contredict the principle foundamental of evolution.

I have remarked that the GR alone and the fields and strings have unfortunally created a prison and now the thinkers cannot think beyond the box. Einstein himself recognised that he was not sure that these phtons were the only one piece of puzzle. The evolution is essential and we are inside a project of evolution, and the coded particles in a superfluidity seems the answer. The central cosmological sphere , this super matter energy sends probably these series finite of 3D spheres and maybe this center is the real link with this infinite eternal consciousness wich is beyond probably in 0D , witgout time, space, matters, just a pure energy that we cannot define and different than an infinite heat for me. This thing paradocxally is connected and is everywhere but in 0D in a physicality of pure 3D.

Ps your spinless points can converge with this consciousness and also these spheres and the space vacuum of this DE to solve the cosmological constant problem. It lacks things in these EFE, they are correct for the photonic spacetime, but not for the evolution and the two other spacetimes to superimpose, the cold dark matter wich can explain in being encoded in nuclei the antiparticles and this QG, and it lacks also this DE for the main codes, it is there that your massless points are important if you conjecture the spheres and points with the good geometrical algebras. I have invented a tool, the spherical topological geometrical algebras in a pure 3D, I need help for the maths and the non commutativity . I become crazy with all this puzzle to be frank lol.

Best regards
