In wave function collapse the observer forces one of many states to occur such as Schrodinger's cat experiment but what if you have the experiment done in a the middle of a stadium would all observers collapse the waveform the same way?
If the answer is yes then I assume that the individual...
I just stumbled on to this thread and you got me thinking about time being dependent on matter so I thought if matter in quantum scales is probabilistic is time probabilistic also? I mean how can you time anything below the atomic scale?
The Turing test states if a human can not tell a human from a computer then as far as intelligence is concerned there's no difference between a human and a computer. If one can not tell a simulation from reality then there's no difference.
It would be virtual time travel into a virtual reality composed of recorded events much like the holodeck in "star treck". Virtual time travel would be an outcome of extended recordings and reconstructed historical events.
I was looking up AI and my mind began to wonder. Assuming that a future computer/AI has an incredible amount of storage and computational speed as well as algorithms that will allow it to manipulate information in every possible way. This computer would be tied into a network that would record...
I know I'm beating this thing to death but I keep thinking of scenarios such as sitting in the middle of the white room with the mirror in front of me thinking about all those variable phase reflections of the original image creating variable interference patterns as they add or subtract on my...
What if you're in a room with a mirror and the walls painted white and you're also clothed in white? would you still see a single image on the mirror? I would guess yes although there would be a whole bunch of reflections in the room.
When we look at a mirror we see our image but the light that reaches our eyes also reflects off our bodies back to the mirror again and back to our eyes. Do we see multiple images of our self but somehow ignore all but the primary reflection?
I see the creation of the universe much like what happens down at the quantum level. We are perplexed by the particle/wave duality,superposition and entanglement. We propose that a lot of what happens depends on the observer. Why can we not apply the same attributes to the creation of the...
This idea of the BB not banging will not go away. Where did the rules come from? Theory says from some condition that produces universes with different rules and our universe has the rules that we know. But doesn't that mean there was time before our time? Can time exist without space? I don't...
I'm confused, how then do we know how old the universe is? Don't cosmologists extrapolated the age and the center of the universe from galaxies receding at a certain direction and velocity?
Why can't we assume that the universe is expanding due to centrifugal forces from a spinning universe. If we assume an hour-glass universe with one-half of it being a black hole and the other half connected with our "universe" but still part of the same hour-glass universe. As the black hole...
You are right, worm holes are speculative at this point of our science but what's science fiction today would be reality in the future. Someone said "what reality is today was magic a few hundred years ago"
