Information field giving rise to quantum mechanics.

In summary, the conversation discusses the concept of an "information field" in quantum mechanics, which Einstein believed to be the only reality in his "new kind of physics." The existence of this field, which allows for instantaneous communication between particles and may solve the EPR paradox, challenges traditional notions of space and time. However, Einstein's own Unified Field Theory never came to fruition and he was against the idea of anything traveling faster than light.

"Information field" giving rise to quantum mechanics.

Hello. I stumbled upon a video on youtube where quantum entanglement is discussed (). A woman quotes Einstein: "There is no place in this new kind of physics for the field and matter, for the field is the only reality." What did Einstein mean by "new kind of physics," and what field was he referring to? I am confused because the woman made it sound like Einstein believed that there is a universal "field" of non-locality where everything is instantaneously sharing information. If such an "information field" exists, it would have to exist beyond spacetime; instantaneous = time is irrelevant. Instantaneous communication between particles also implies that the concept of space is irrelevant. Also, the Pauli exclusion principle says that all electrons in the universe are "aware" of each other's quantum states. Could there be an "information field" permeating "reality" whose description is beyond the notions of space and time (instantaneous action directly implies that space and time are irrelevant)? Could this "field" solve the EPR paradox?

Thank you in advance.

I have seen some complete nonsense about Einstein's Unified Field Theory on the History channel. They should have been ashamed of themselves.

First, Einstein never got the theory to work, and he knew that. So in reality there is no such theory.

Secondly, Einstein was 100% against the idea of anything going faster than light.

Related to Information field giving rise to quantum mechanics.

1. What is the information field in quantum mechanics?

The information field in quantum mechanics is a theoretical concept that describes the fundamental building blocks of the universe. It is a field of information that gives rise to the laws and principles of quantum mechanics, such as superposition and entanglement.

2. How does the information field give rise to quantum mechanics?

The information field gives rise to quantum mechanics through the process of information encoding. This means that the properties and behaviors of particles are determined by the information stored in the field, and the interactions between particles are a result of the exchange of information.

3. What evidence supports the existence of the information field in quantum mechanics?

There is currently no direct evidence for the existence of the information field in quantum mechanics. However, many physicists believe that it is a necessary component of a complete understanding of the universe and its underlying principles.

4. Can we manipulate the information field in order to control quantum systems?

At this time, we do not have the technology to directly manipulate the information field in quantum mechanics. However, through the use of quantum computing and other advanced technologies, we can indirectly manipulate and control quantum systems by manipulating the information stored in the field.

5. Is the information field a part of the physical or the metaphysical realm?

This is a heavily debated question among scientists and philosophers. Some argue that the information field is a physical entity that can be studied and understood through scientific methods. Others argue that it belongs to the metaphysical realm and cannot be fully explained by science.
