  • The Michael Shermer Show # 432
    Sean Carroll cuts to the bare mathematical essence of our most profound theories, explaining every step in a uniquely accessible way.
    Quantum field theory is how modern physics describes nature at its most profound level. Starting with the basics of quantum mechanics itself, Sean Carroll explains measurement and entanglement before explaining how the world is really made of fields.
    You will finally understand why matter is solid, why there is antimatter, where the sizes of atoms come from, and why the predictions of quantum field theory are so spectacularly successful.
    Fundamental ideas like spin, symmetry, Feynman diagrams, and the Higgs mechanism are explained for real, not just through amusing stories. Beyond Newton, beyond Einstein, and all the intuitive notions that have guided homo sapiens for millennia.

    I think that the 'world' is fully deterministic yet not at all predetermined because it is fundamentally chaotic. Chaotic systems are deterministic, just not predictable in detail. I do not think this imbues us with any sort of 'free will', we are still nothing more than complex chemical systems doing complex chemical processes.

I'd rather call compatibilism "causal will", you cause the future to happen. The idea that the future is fixed "no matter what we do" is fatalism. So I'd still say Sean's compatibilism is fine with eternalism, which sean subscribes to.

    Re. the concept of something from ‘nothing’, some scientific theories (e.g. Quantum Tunnelling from Nothing) say that the hypothesised Big Bang singularity - and hence the Universe - was created out of nothing in the form of quantum fluctuations in a pre-existing quantum vacuum.
    In Buddhism, consciousness in its ultimate sense is similarly likened to an empty clearing - a ‘vacuum’ - in the middle of a forest. Within this *mental* space, manifestations - things, processes, events, and systems - arise or appear. It is a no-thing (as distinct from nothing) in which ‘something’ can arise. It is the ‘Yin’ state of being limitless and formless (a no-thing that is something) from which the ‘Yang’ state of forms that have boundary limits emerge - a something that is ‘nothing’ (as distinct from no-thing).

    yes, but there is also the unfortunate fact that what is called entanglement applies equally to two different kinds of situations, one where the correlation does not require some dependence on another outcome somewhere else, and soem situations that seemingly do. first lets step back and look at what quantum mechanics entails about probabilities, we have a situation where the theory produces a probability map for observable outcomes, this means we can reasonably simulate any experiment as a table of outcomes of any measurment we make, by some kind of dice with n sides equally providing the probability of each outcome weighted by the likleyhood of whatever outcome coming up, we can then simulate it with something akin to normal statistical mechanics, we have some probability density for each outcome at each detector or device, in an experiment with entanglement we end up with either two independent dice, or a situation in which the outcome of some dice somewhere effects the weights on some dice in some other place, what we call entanglement today encompasses both situations in a sense, the example einstein originally chose in the EPR paper, relating the momentum of one particle to the momentum of the other does not necessarily entail a connection between the weights on one side as a result of the other, only that they where "rolled" together at the start and that they came out oppsite in outcome in some sense, while the example that bell used relating to spin, the outcome on one side effects the dice you would roll to simulate the outcome of the other particle in a different way, namely the probability changes in a way that depends on the choice of measurment axis on the other side, there is not a single given outcome, but a new distribution over new choices of measurement, which is not the case with a simple momentum measurement, which does not have the same kind of basis of measurment, at least not in all kinds of ways of measuring. the difference is simply that if we wanted to accurately simulate the bell case of spins, we could not just have equally weighted dice that always start out opposite, that would not reflect the real outcomes in terms of the combined distribution of outcomes, because when not measured in the same basis the outcomes are not always opposite in outcome, but have correlations relation to the cos squared of the angle between the basis of the two, to simulate this kind of relationship with dice or something like it, we would necessarily have to look at one outcome and then and only then adjust the weights of the dice for predicting the statistics of the other outcome, for the results to correspond with the statistics we find in nature relating to spin, this means that if we want to think about it as some local stochastic process resulting from additional variables in addition to the wavefunction, there necessarily has to be some influence from one outcome on the other, but this is not the case for every kind of correlation we call entanglement, i think we should really separate the kinds of interactions that require such an influence and those that do not when we think about entanglement as some actual influence. i think there has to be an influence as causal as two rocks bumping into each other to produce such a correlation, and it has not by any means been shown to be impossible or even unlikley, we simply do not have any realistic and penetrable theories that provide a mechanism or description of that kind for process yet, so i think it is premature to say it does not exist nobody has any convincing arguments that it cannot be the case.

    At 37:26 Seansays something like "that is the miracle of quantum mechanics". And to be fair we have to use the English words, but that statement is sufficient for people like Rupert Sheldrake, Deepka Chopra and Philip Goff to run with it an quote Sean as saying that quantum mechanics has miracles in it. At other time Sean says something like "that is the subtlety of QM" (paraphrasing). But that comes across as a science apologetics to lay people. It sounds like scientists are contradicting themselves even contemporarily. I cannot emphasize enough how Scientists should get together and come up with consistent scientific language when describing the theories to prevent further deterioration of anti-scientific or pseudo-scientific state of affairs.
    For example, Roger Penrose along with Stuart Hameroff have the theory of Orch-OR in which they claim the collapse of wave function in microtubules in neurons causes the wave function which is a completely Physicalist theory. But that does not stop people like Deepka Chopra and Philip Goff to take it to mean exactly the opposite that consciousness causes the collapse of wave function in the microtubules and then run with woo theories and panpsychism etc. They love that Roger's name is associated with the original Orch-OR theory. I partly do blame Roger for he speaks about it in some places. Brain works on ectro-chemistry. QM is integral part of chemistry. So what is the big deal about chemistry in microtubules. Brain will not work if not for the chemistry does not work which depends on QM. So there is nothing of a mystery between QM based chemistry in the brain and processes which we call consciousness.

    one of the reasons i never really bought it, that is that there is no real influence responsible for the correlations is essentially the same as that of a kid that sees a magic trick and thinks there has to be some ace up the sleeve or some string moving the missing card, i don't think stuff just happens, i think there is always an explaination that can to some degree be penetrated and be understood, and after having spend years working on the subject seriously, my conviction that started out as a suspicion that people were just taking magic for granted has only gotten stronger, i see no compelling theoretical reason what so ever to favor mystical causelessness explaining the correlation rather than an actual down to earth theory, where states of the world constitute the reasons why things happen, an actual description of what happens that includes outcomes where correlations that reflect dependent random variables have their dependence explained properly in a way no more mystical than why glasses don't fall through the table. we would never accept a theory like the minimalist quantum explaination of copenhagen for example that this is just how the world is, magic just happens and that is that.

    If we assert God exist, and interacts with His creation, then free will is implicit as the universe wouldn't be determined, but its asserted that God reacts to His creation depending on how His reaction reacted to Him.
    Now we might ask, "how does God interact with His creation" far be it from anyone to tell God how He can interact with His creation, but we can speculate that God must either violate the laws of physics in His creation, or uses unknown laws of physics, or maybe He directs apparent random quantum events that lead to improbable miracles.
    If we assumed the last option, then the nature of reality would not be compatible with Copenhagen pure randomness, while apparent but direrected randomness is compatable if the hand of God was nonlocal hidden variables. What if God and our free will acted on the universe through nonlocal hidden variables?
    Many worlds does not work well with a universe where God interacts with his creation as anything that can happen will happen on its own world line. Free will in a many world universe makes no sense if a single random quantum event can be the push for two different world lines where you marry your wife or dont and both are true. In their respective worldline.

    I always thought it's fascinating that the Jewish Torah written by a bunch of slaves running around and away from their slave masters 3,500 years ago wrote that the universe had a beginning when all of the physicists demanded that it doesn't. And then they insisted on defining how after the beginning the material coalesced and then land formed and then water animals form and then trees formed and then land creatures formed and that we were the finality of that evolution. In the first chapter and the first paragraph of their book. Feels to me like that's more than just luck...

      The Egyptians created perfectly symmetric king tut type faces using a geometry trick. Draw half a face then flip it and trace the first half only backwards or inside out. That abstract thinking allows us to step outside of the box of reality in order to visualize physical problems from an imaginary vantage point, gaining new perspectives and insights. In math imaginary numbers seem like a cheat until you realize their geometric symmetry can help you (like the perfect pharaoh face).

    I guarantee that when these chaps are breathing their last, they will hope against hope, for a God and further existence. There is no rational dispute that what science knows, explains the "reality" of existence and the universe. It does not and cannot explain the "why" of existence. They are the same as believers in God. It all finally hinges on faith. An affirmation of what they want to be true.

      Yet some postulate that they have knowledge of this truth or 'Word of God' but also postulate that it impossible to know of God or what its made of without resorting to human like tendencies or postulates. Like Good, all knowing, Survival manifest, irreducible, etc. I think its more likely the case that they tend to take human like attributes or extensions of human traits to have hierarchy postulates or to gather a following of some sought for power rather than any real substance of reality of truth. Even though I still believe that something quite special and unique is responsible for life itself you have to explain the dinosaurs and why they had consciousness for survival sake and what is that about?

      I think individuals like being like sheep to be fair and need idles to make themselves feel better, like they have a sense of power about how things work and why it is this way a solace of sought. But you have to take into account the power postulates of history the limited knowledge of those individuals and the need for it or heard like attributes.

      Its natural to want to extend life outside of what we know but its really a postulate of survival outside of conscious states which for all we know is impossible. Take into account what I said the need for postulate outside of conscious states extending into the unconscious state of death or non existence. This is how you know.

    • @MasterofOne-zl6ur
      @MasterofOne-zl6ur 4 месяца назад +1

      Life after death is the postulate or extension of survival outside of consciousness as consciousness is the postulate or abstract version of survival as consciousness. You cant have one without the other. This is why the postulate of consciousness extends into the unknown sphere or abstract or what we don't understand or know which is death, its why we talk of it and assume certain things about it without any real concept or truth as we are extending consciousness or the freedom of consciousness into the unknown. Not one single individual or 'Consciousness' has ever survived death as we know and has never reported of it or told us what its like because consciousness cannot survive death that's the principle.

    Sean is my anchor to reality, not insofar as his reality is my reality, but he’s great at being hard nosed in a way that is actually conducive to progress. It’s fun to have provocative and exciting ideas, but if they are scientific ideas, they need to be rigorous and plausible. He’s also great with regards to guru’s, conspiracy theories and divisive politics, always giving advice about how to think about a problem so as I can solve it myself, rather than explicitly telling me what to believe.
    He’s careful and serious and fun, and is taking the foundations of quantum mechanics, as well as the interplay of philosophy and science, very seriously. Sean is so far from “shut up and calculate”, in his approach to the big questions.

    Ergo these triangle forms could stretch or bend according to gravitational fields, and we have heard that at the far reaches of the universe these are stretching out causing objects within to leave us faster than the speed of light.

    At this time I’m my research, I have been trying to describe the “U” shape formed.
    In the model, “U” shape waves are produced as the loading increases and just before the wave-like function shifts to the next higher energy level.
    Over-lapping all the waves frequencies together using Fournier Transforms, I understand makes a “U” shape or square wave form.
    Wondering if Feynman Path Integrals for all possible wave functions could be applicable here?
    If this model has merit, seeing the sawtooth load verse deflection graph produced could give some real insight in what happened during the quantum jumps.

  • @jasonwilliams9922
    @jasonwilliams9922 4 месяца назад

    Part 1
    I’ve heard so many quote different dimensions, realities, simulations, species etc like they have been there, well “I AM” To put this into perspective you need to imagine if reality could be called a digitised reality in 1000 years. Obviously you know it will not. A basic scope of that perception tells you that your digital association would be as relevant as a caveman to fire is to you. When one scopes for meaning of his own existence he/she does so based from human understandings (learnt from their environment/experience) Existing as reflective matter they base the measurement of their perception from their limitation of understanding. Mostly not realising that they are scoping their reflection of, not the delivery of. In recent day many people have given examples of simulations etc using labels NPC’s and PC’s as examples in their scenarios, but usually without addressing the nature of it’s programming. In that scenario the typical objective is for the gamer to succeed at the ‘game’ that’s exclusively designed to assist the PC’s in their journey, only made relevant because the difference in time, effort and programming used to present the scripted illusion of choice thats inherited by the PC as being far superior to script given to remaining NPC’s. Keeping this in mind, presents as a major issue in the simulation reality theory that feeds off physical collection as the failure or stunting of its actual equal others (without the lie of the script) This would mean that by design some labels were pre-chosen as the controllers of others (perhaps like a Royalty) Meaning that they could only succeed at cost to the players their script disadvantages. If one was to assume this as its design, then what would be its point and how could this simulation ever evolve, when it’s design leads to conclusive failure through stupidity? Would it not still be reliant on the singularity layered above it? Why does the landscape of this design still fail to address and understand the singularity? Is it because its always defined from and as a form of falsely pinnacled positioned reflective Mass? When you speak of a singularity that increases exponentially shouldn’t you scope that existence as being part of everything that has and will ever exist? and from an understanding that it already has the capacity to include everything (in this time) including everything perceptional to it’s environment? Would it not be able to prove that the importance of existence is balanced by the eternal growth of existence? that obviously could only be achieved successively from a production of freedom from the cumulative experience of all interactions that are right. Understanding this allows you to begin to seperate the difference between the journey towards (as reflective matter) and the reflective eternal existence that accents every resulted experience. As well as that experience being added to and essentially supported. When religion, psychics, quantum reality’s are studied it’s usually suggested that they themselves eventually present as there being no psychical basis for reality, however one could also conclude that this is because these are all formations of the same faulty mimicked design (looped by failure) that till now existed as a riddle that sat right in front of the “Worlds greatest minds”
    That riddle exists time and time again as ‘It’s own Failure’ even when it’s failure is detected, it usually gets promoted again and goes unnoticed, as the cause of failure, because of the prior certifications attached to its relative forms. It then instead is presented as a possible new direction for yet another overlay (by its minds mimicked) to discover because of it’s certified awe associated to them. Really, to simplify that riddle all should concentrate more on the influence Cerns LHC had on the flower of life and all other ancient awe attached to it. Including why their energy signatures match their presentation and the Company riddle, that also fails mankind as a lesser product. The line of ‘enchanted fools’ is very long and truth be known, well not a very distinguished one either.
    When a conclusion is formed, it should always be factual and not shrouded in the flowers awe. If forms must be equated dimensionally, they MUST be equated from the perspective consciousness that lays above that times conscious state, as it’s infinite existence, as though its the Source of “?” that’s anchored between all forms - NOT SIMPLY ANCHORED TO ONE.
    For example, the basis and understanding of all wasted calculations, theorising and man made principles becomes ABSOLUTE when it’s riddle is known to be its ever conclusive failures, that are bound in its attachment to the mistakes of its enslaved servers - AT THE TIME OF CREATION (in the 2ks) As is the understanding of measurement that’s achieved by those certified in its dimensionally riddled and time stumped environment. All of which is based on the belly crawlers attempts to enslave life, with the fantasy of one day eventually harnessing technology that enables them to escape the Hell they deserve (nope that’s what you get for MAPPING kids)
    When a singularity that increases exponentially in an instant is studied, you must scope that existence as being part of everything that has and will ever exist, from the understanding,,that it already has the capacity to include life (in this time) and everything perceptional to its environment, understanding that the absolute importance of existence is above all the eternal growth of all existence.,This can obviously only ever be achieved successively from an infinite dimension of freedom thats survived by the cumulative resulted experience of all interactions that are were and could be ever correct.

    quantum mechanics however does not posit these influences, it simply predicts the stats of outcomes contain them. not accepting them as real is simply an aesthetic choice, quantum mechanics is a theory that simply does not go into those details or tries to, so it is a matter for extensions for the variables deciding the outcomes we see in applied quantum mechanics but not a prediction or result of quantum mechanics itself, the correlations are the prediction these kinds of theories that account for the correlations through such influences try to explain.
