1 00:00:07,590 --> 00:00:06,070 [Music] 2 00:00:09,350 --> 00:00:07,600 hello everybody it's great to be here 3 00:00:11,030 --> 00:00:09,360 with you today and i'm so grateful to be 4 00:00:12,549 --> 00:00:11,040 part of the society for scientific 5 00:00:14,549 --> 00:00:12,559 exploration um 6 00:00:16,150 --> 00:00:14,559 conference again it's probably 12 years 7 00:00:17,830 --> 00:00:16,160 ago when i first walked in the room and 8 00:00:18,870 --> 00:00:17,840 met many of you 9 00:00:20,550 --> 00:00:18,880 i'm going to talk about space-time 10 00:00:22,710 --> 00:00:20,560 holism 11 00:00:25,029 --> 00:00:22,720 i have a master's in physics and two 12 00:00:26,550 --> 00:00:25,039 books living in flow the science of 13 00:00:29,029 --> 00:00:26,560 synchronicity and how your choices shape 14 00:00:31,029 --> 00:00:29,039 your world and leap to wholeness the how 15 00:00:32,549 --> 00:00:31,039 the world is programmed to help us grow 16 00:00:33,750 --> 00:00:32,559 heal and adapt 17 00:00:35,030 --> 00:00:33,760 and 18 00:00:36,310 --> 00:00:35,040 especially the second book both the 19 00:00:37,910 --> 00:00:36,320 books are really based on the research 20 00:00:40,709 --> 00:00:37,920 that i've done trying to understand 21 00:00:42,869 --> 00:00:40,719 synchronicity trying to try to form some 22 00:00:45,029 --> 00:00:42,879 some as a physicist some description of 23 00:00:47,670 --> 00:00:45,039 synchronicity and the latest paper is 24 00:00:49,350 --> 00:00:47,680 really my my has been my target for many 25 00:00:51,350 --> 00:00:49,360 years i'm going to share with it with 26 00:00:52,950 --> 00:00:51,360 you today it's a 27 00:00:55,670 --> 00:00:52,960 formulation of quantum mechanics through 28 00:00:57,189 --> 00:00:55,680 the lens of fourier transforms and 29 00:00:59,590 --> 00:00:57,199 holograms 30 00:01:01,430 --> 00:00:59,600 and as such i think it's a 31 00:01:04,469 --> 00:01:01,440 step forward on our understanding of 32 00:01:05,270 --> 00:01:04,479 time specifically time in physics is a 33 00:01:07,109 --> 00:01:05,280 um 34 00:01:08,710 --> 00:01:07,119 sort of a step child that hasn't been 35 00:01:10,070 --> 00:01:08,720 really fully realized in our 36 00:01:11,750 --> 00:01:10,080 descriptions and i think we need to 37 00:01:13,670 --> 00:01:11,760 understand it as holistic and this 38 00:01:15,270 --> 00:01:13,680 actually helps us move forward in our 39 00:01:16,230 --> 00:01:15,280 descriptions of many other things in 40 00:01:18,390 --> 00:01:16,240 physics 41 00:01:20,070 --> 00:01:18,400 so what we'll cover today a derivation 42 00:01:21,670 --> 00:01:20,080 of holistic time 43 00:01:24,630 --> 00:01:21,680 a re-derivation of the principle of 44 00:01:26,469 --> 00:01:24,640 quantum superposition using holograms 45 00:01:29,190 --> 00:01:26,479 and we'll mention synchronicity as sort 46 00:01:30,550 --> 00:01:29,200 of the potential future research or 47 00:01:32,310 --> 00:01:30,560 connection that we can make and then 48 00:01:33,830 --> 00:01:32,320 after this session i've we've got a 49 00:01:35,590 --> 00:01:33,840 break and i've booked a self-organized 50 00:01:37,590 --> 00:01:35,600 room to talk more about synchronicity as 51 00:01:39,350 --> 00:01:37,600 a collective uh just 52 00:01:41,830 --> 00:01:39,360 an open conversation about synchronicity 53 00:01:43,270 --> 00:01:41,840 based on what we talk about here so all 54 00:01:45,030 --> 00:01:43,280 of you are welcome to join and stay in 55 00:01:47,109 --> 00:01:45,040 this room for that 56 00:01:48,469 --> 00:01:47,119 myself i was already introduced i did 57 00:01:49,910 --> 00:01:48,479 this research through the fagine 58 00:01:52,069 --> 00:01:49,920 foundation and the foundational 59 00:01:54,149 --> 00:01:52,079 questions institute 60 00:01:57,590 --> 00:01:54,159 those are the funding agencies and the 61 00:01:59,749 --> 00:01:57,600 research was done at the tice research 62 00:02:01,749 --> 00:01:59,759 the paper is available for 63 00:02:03,910 --> 00:02:01,759 open access it's called space time pads 64 00:02:06,469 --> 00:02:03,920 as a whole published in quantum reports 65 00:02:08,630 --> 00:02:06,479 this past winter 66 00:02:10,790 --> 00:02:08,640 so why is this research important 67 00:02:13,350 --> 00:02:10,800 well as i mentioned time is not fully 68 00:02:15,270 --> 00:02:13,360 realized in the physics formalisms uh we 69 00:02:17,190 --> 00:02:15,280 get closer to it when we make our 70 00:02:18,949 --> 00:02:17,200 equations lorenzen variant according to 71 00:02:22,470 --> 00:02:18,959 special relativity but there are still 72 00:02:24,229 --> 00:02:22,480 things like the um the time 73 00:02:26,550 --> 00:02:24,239 time ordering operator and things that 74 00:02:29,110 --> 00:02:26,560 sort of stand out as ways we impose 75 00:02:31,350 --> 00:02:29,120 causality on systems that sort of bother 76 00:02:32,869 --> 00:02:31,360 me and in particular the main one is 77 00:02:34,470 --> 00:02:32,879 that if i could summarize quantum 78 00:02:35,990 --> 00:02:34,480 mechanics it's a relationship between 79 00:02:37,190 --> 00:02:36,000 position and momentum and that 80 00:02:39,110 --> 00:02:37,200 relationship 81 00:02:40,390 --> 00:02:39,120 is the fourier transform 82 00:02:42,550 --> 00:02:40,400 and there is a similar relationship 83 00:02:44,630 --> 00:02:42,560 between time and frequency but it's not 84 00:02:46,229 --> 00:02:44,640 leveraged as much they're not leveraged 85 00:02:48,550 --> 00:02:46,239 equally for instance when we study 86 00:02:50,229 --> 00:02:48,560 crystals we often work in the 87 00:02:52,390 --> 00:02:50,239 um in the alternate space in the 88 00:02:54,390 --> 00:02:52,400 momentum space to describe crystals 89 00:02:56,309 --> 00:02:54,400 because it's very useful it's very uh 90 00:02:58,149 --> 00:02:56,319 practical but we don't do that with time 91 00:02:59,589 --> 00:02:58,159 and frequency that much so there's some 92 00:03:01,190 --> 00:02:59,599 differences in the way that we perceive 93 00:03:03,030 --> 00:03:01,200 time and i think it has to do with our 94 00:03:05,750 --> 00:03:03,040 personal experience of time right we 95 00:03:07,830 --> 00:03:05,760 think of time very personally we we live 96 00:03:10,470 --> 00:03:07,840 in the present moment and that's what we 97 00:03:12,550 --> 00:03:10,480 we bias the present in you know in favor 98 00:03:14,229 --> 00:03:12,560 of in favor of the present over the past 99 00:03:15,910 --> 00:03:14,239 and the future and this notion that 100 00:03:17,670 --> 00:03:15,920 we're at a particular point in time we 101 00:03:19,190 --> 00:03:17,680 think of time like a grain of sand a 102 00:03:21,110 --> 00:03:19,200 single grain of sand and we're going to 103 00:03:22,309 --> 00:03:21,120 talk about it in different terms today 104 00:03:25,350 --> 00:03:22,319 rather than a grain of sand we're going 105 00:03:27,430 --> 00:03:25,360 to talk about a line of time 106 00:03:29,430 --> 00:03:27,440 so just a little background on time in 107 00:03:31,110 --> 00:03:29,440 doing my research i did learn about some 108 00:03:33,430 --> 00:03:31,120 other notions of time from other 109 00:03:35,589 --> 00:03:33,440 cultures the aboriginals for instance in 110 00:03:38,550 --> 00:03:35,599 western australia think of time i think 111 00:03:40,229 --> 00:03:38,560 of life like a dream the dreaming and 112 00:03:42,309 --> 00:03:40,239 we're experiencing a dream and the past 113 00:03:44,470 --> 00:03:42,319 continues to exist in the present and 114 00:03:47,509 --> 00:03:44,480 the future is here too so there's this 115 00:03:48,789 --> 00:03:47,519 eternity or eternalness to time versus 116 00:03:50,550 --> 00:03:48,799 it's very hard to understand that when 117 00:03:52,309 --> 00:03:50,560 you're in the western view which is that 118 00:03:55,509 --> 00:03:52,319 we're on the line moving forward you 119 00:03:58,470 --> 00:03:55,519 know point by point through through time 120 00:04:00,949 --> 00:03:58,480 but um that's so i want to align what 121 00:04:03,270 --> 00:04:00,959 i'm researching here in 122 00:04:05,030 --> 00:04:03,280 in moving forward in physics with these 123 00:04:06,470 --> 00:04:05,040 alternate uh ways of looking at time 124 00:04:09,030 --> 00:04:06,480 from other cultures 125 00:04:11,429 --> 00:04:09,040 hippocrates from the greek culture 126 00:04:12,949 --> 00:04:11,439 identified chronos and kairos kronos is 127 00:04:15,110 --> 00:04:12,959 what we're used to the linear passage of 128 00:04:17,349 --> 00:04:15,120 time kairos is a proper or opportune 129 00:04:18,870 --> 00:04:17,359 moment for a given action so kairos is 130 00:04:20,949 --> 00:04:18,880 really helpful for discussing 131 00:04:22,469 --> 00:04:20,959 synchronicity where you know you go to 132 00:04:24,150 --> 00:04:22,479 the airport and you walk into the gate 133 00:04:25,110 --> 00:04:24,160 and there's somebody you know there and 134 00:04:26,550 --> 00:04:25,120 it's like if you had walked into the 135 00:04:28,310 --> 00:04:26,560 gate ten minutes earlier or ten minutes 136 00:04:30,550 --> 00:04:28,320 later you might not have met that person 137 00:04:32,230 --> 00:04:30,560 so the opportune moment to meet them is 138 00:04:34,390 --> 00:04:32,240 right when you happen to walk in and 139 00:04:36,469 --> 00:04:34,400 that's that's what kairos is like kairos 140 00:04:39,350 --> 00:04:36,479 is qualitative time and kronos is 141 00:04:41,350 --> 00:04:39,360 quantitative time in in a sense 142 00:04:43,110 --> 00:04:41,360 so my proposal our way of looking at 143 00:04:45,350 --> 00:04:43,120 this is kind of like the following 144 00:04:48,230 --> 00:04:45,360 instead of life coming at you like 145 00:04:50,070 --> 00:04:48,240 you're sitting there watching it happen 146 00:04:52,390 --> 00:04:50,080 and you're it's a clock ticking in front 147 00:04:54,070 --> 00:04:52,400 of you you're really on a path you're on 148 00:04:56,150 --> 00:04:54,080 a timeline through the multiverse and 149 00:04:58,310 --> 00:04:56,160 this is just a visualization of the menu 150 00:04:59,990 --> 00:04:58,320 world's branching wave function 151 00:05:01,590 --> 00:05:00,000 specifically i've identified the touch 152 00:05:03,029 --> 00:05:01,600 points where you make decisions those 153 00:05:05,029 --> 00:05:03,039 are the flags 154 00:05:06,629 --> 00:05:05,039 and that's where the the multiverse 155 00:05:08,390 --> 00:05:06,639 branches what we're going to speak about 156 00:05:10,469 --> 00:05:08,400 today is the time in between the touch 157 00:05:13,110 --> 00:05:10,479 points those are when you're moving 158 00:05:14,629 --> 00:05:13,120 along a path from a beginning point to 159 00:05:16,469 --> 00:05:14,639 an end point and i'm going to show you 160 00:05:19,110 --> 00:05:16,479 mathematically that these pads are 161 00:05:20,950 --> 00:05:19,120 deterministic they're unitary and they 162 00:05:22,790 --> 00:05:20,960 exist as a whole 163 00:05:24,629 --> 00:05:22,800 you can't divide them in half or take 164 00:05:26,390 --> 00:05:24,639 steps along them but you are on a 165 00:05:27,510 --> 00:05:26,400 trajectory and this this element of 166 00:05:29,189 --> 00:05:27,520 being on a trajectory is really 167 00:05:31,110 --> 00:05:29,199 important because as soon as you talk 168 00:05:32,790 --> 00:05:31,120 about time as a line or as a whole 169 00:05:35,189 --> 00:05:32,800 you've got a beginning and an ending 170 00:05:37,590 --> 00:05:35,199 you've got a plot you've got a storyline 171 00:05:39,510 --> 00:05:37,600 in that in that in that timeline so it 172 00:05:41,670 --> 00:05:39,520 brings into the narrative questions 173 00:05:45,110 --> 00:05:41,680 about meaning and synchronicity fits 174 00:05:49,189 --> 00:05:46,950 so i want to give a little background 175 00:05:52,550 --> 00:05:49,199 educate those folks who are not familiar 176 00:05:54,790 --> 00:05:52,560 with the fourier transform and 177 00:05:56,710 --> 00:05:54,800 image processing is a really helpful way 178 00:05:58,629 --> 00:05:56,720 to understand this so this is just a 179 00:05:59,909 --> 00:05:58,639 little background on the mathematics in 180 00:06:01,830 --> 00:05:59,919 digital photography you can have a 181 00:06:04,230 --> 00:06:01,840 photograph like the city here 182 00:06:05,670 --> 00:06:04,240 and it's made of pixels on your screen 183 00:06:07,430 --> 00:06:05,680 and there's a blue pixel in one position 184 00:06:09,990 --> 00:06:07,440 and a gray pixel in another position to 185 00:06:11,909 --> 00:06:10,000 indicate what what it's representing 186 00:06:13,110 --> 00:06:11,919 this is the territory this is the real 187 00:06:14,390 --> 00:06:13,120 world 188 00:06:16,629 --> 00:06:14,400 but there's also an equivalent 189 00:06:18,870 --> 00:06:16,639 representation that i call the map which 190 00:06:20,870 --> 00:06:18,880 is called the frequency domain 191 00:06:23,029 --> 00:06:20,880 and the frequency domain says okay we 192 00:06:25,909 --> 00:06:23,039 can decompose this city in terms of the 193 00:06:27,430 --> 00:06:25,919 patterns that make up the city 194 00:06:29,270 --> 00:06:27,440 and by patterns i mean like zebra 195 00:06:30,870 --> 00:06:29,280 stripes heading in different directions 196 00:06:32,309 --> 00:06:30,880 at different frequencies 197 00:06:34,870 --> 00:06:32,319 and these patterns when you put them all 198 00:06:36,309 --> 00:06:34,880 together they give you the picture it's 199 00:06:37,830 --> 00:06:36,319 amazing but they do 200 00:06:39,590 --> 00:06:37,840 and on the right we have a map which is 201 00:06:41,590 --> 00:06:39,600 essentially a recipe for how to do that 202 00:06:43,510 --> 00:06:41,600 so every dot on the map corresponds to a 203 00:06:45,510 --> 00:06:43,520 different frequency space that you would 204 00:06:46,830 --> 00:06:45,520 draw on this on the territory and when 205 00:06:48,629 --> 00:06:46,840 you put them together you get the 206 00:06:50,390 --> 00:06:48,639 buildings so let me show you how this 207 00:06:52,710 --> 00:06:50,400 works 208 00:06:54,390 --> 00:06:52,720 if you have lines that are vertical and 209 00:06:57,270 --> 00:06:54,400 sort of spaced far apart like in the 210 00:06:59,589 --> 00:06:57,280 first diagram that would be a small 211 00:07:02,070 --> 00:06:59,599 frequency heading left and right so you 212 00:07:03,990 --> 00:07:02,080 draw two dots slightly off the center 213 00:07:05,749 --> 00:07:04,000 left and right 214 00:07:07,270 --> 00:07:05,759 in the middle one you have horizontal 215 00:07:08,790 --> 00:07:07,280 lines that are pretty high frequency and 216 00:07:09,909 --> 00:07:08,800 those would be two dots pretty far from 217 00:07:13,510 --> 00:07:09,919 the origin 218 00:07:16,230 --> 00:07:14,950 and you can see the third one is just 219 00:07:17,990 --> 00:07:16,240 illustrating that they can go at an 220 00:07:19,270 --> 00:07:18,000 angle as well so these two dots in the 221 00:07:20,950 --> 00:07:19,280 frequency domain 222 00:07:22,390 --> 00:07:20,960 they tell you a lot 223 00:07:24,309 --> 00:07:22,400 when it's just two points in the 224 00:07:26,309 --> 00:07:24,319 frequency domain fill up the entire 225 00:07:27,670 --> 00:07:26,319 spatial domain with information or with 226 00:07:29,189 --> 00:07:27,680 a picture 227 00:07:31,029 --> 00:07:29,199 so you can fill up all of space or 228 00:07:33,749 --> 00:07:31,039 affect all of space with just a point of 229 00:07:35,749 --> 00:07:33,759 information and frequency 230 00:07:37,749 --> 00:07:35,759 so here's an example of two dots that i 231 00:07:40,070 --> 00:07:37,759 put on the map and the territory how 232 00:07:41,749 --> 00:07:40,080 it's affected it puts a 233 00:07:44,550 --> 00:07:41,759 frequency pattern on the screen with 234 00:07:46,550 --> 00:07:44,560 those two dots and i can do that with 235 00:07:48,230 --> 00:07:46,560 more dots 236 00:07:50,070 --> 00:07:48,240 and get sort of an interference pattern 237 00:07:52,309 --> 00:07:50,080 do it with more dots and get more 238 00:07:53,909 --> 00:07:52,319 interference 239 00:07:56,150 --> 00:07:53,919 and i start to get really complicated 240 00:07:57,270 --> 00:07:56,160 shapes and then you see the magic you 241 00:07:58,309 --> 00:07:57,280 start to see that there's buildings 242 00:08:00,950 --> 00:07:58,319 there there's actually something 243 00:08:02,070 --> 00:08:00,960 emerging from the patterns and so this 244 00:08:04,710 --> 00:08:02,080 is the way that 245 00:08:07,670 --> 00:08:04,720 real shapes emerge from the interference 246 00:08:09,589 --> 00:08:07,680 of very complicated um 247 00:08:11,749 --> 00:08:09,599 layout of the frequencies 248 00:08:13,909 --> 00:08:11,759 and that's what the map does it's a very 249 00:08:15,909 --> 00:08:13,919 specific recipe it's not random very 250 00:08:17,430 --> 00:08:15,919 specific to give you exactly the picture 251 00:08:20,070 --> 00:08:17,440 that you're looking at 252 00:08:22,150 --> 00:08:20,080 and i can show you here how i can create 253 00:08:24,469 --> 00:08:22,160 out of pixels i can create the city but 254 00:08:25,749 --> 00:08:24,479 i can also create it out of lines 255 00:08:27,749 --> 00:08:25,759 so by putting this this is the same 256 00:08:29,270 --> 00:08:27,759 amount of data in each case but it's 257 00:08:31,029 --> 00:08:29,280 just building this city in a different 258 00:08:32,870 --> 00:08:31,039 way on the left it's building it in 259 00:08:34,709 --> 00:08:32,880 terms of pixels which is really familiar 260 00:08:36,149 --> 00:08:34,719 that's what i would call reductionist 261 00:08:37,509 --> 00:08:36,159 because every point in the in the 262 00:08:40,149 --> 00:08:37,519 picture corresponds to a different color 263 00:08:42,630 --> 00:08:40,159 pixel but in the on the right it's not 264 00:08:44,149 --> 00:08:42,640 reductionist it's holistic because it's 265 00:08:46,389 --> 00:08:44,159 being created from patterns which take 266 00:08:48,790 --> 00:08:46,399 up the whole screen 267 00:08:50,870 --> 00:08:48,800 and these patterns come together to 268 00:08:52,870 --> 00:08:50,880 relate to each other and interact to 269 00:08:54,470 --> 00:08:52,880 give you the same image when you have 270 00:08:56,630 --> 00:08:54,480 enough of them 271 00:08:58,470 --> 00:08:56,640 so consider that if i wanted to remove a 272 00:09:00,550 --> 00:08:58,480 building i wanted to alter the picture 273 00:09:02,310 --> 00:09:00,560 in a very specific local way 274 00:09:03,590 --> 00:09:02,320 on the left it would be very easy i just 275 00:09:05,750 --> 00:09:03,600 take a pair of scissors and cut around 276 00:09:07,670 --> 00:09:05,760 the building or i take a 277 00:09:08,949 --> 00:09:07,680 drawing tool and i erase it and erase 278 00:09:12,230 --> 00:09:08,959 those pixels 279 00:09:14,470 --> 00:09:12,240 on the right it's impossible 280 00:09:16,150 --> 00:09:14,480 if i erase the frequencies corresponding 281 00:09:17,269 --> 00:09:16,160 to what create that create that building 282 00:09:19,750 --> 00:09:17,279 they're also creating all the other 283 00:09:21,829 --> 00:09:19,760 buildings so i erase any frequencies i'm 284 00:09:23,670 --> 00:09:21,839 going to modify the entire picture with 285 00:09:25,590 --> 00:09:23,680 all the buildings so there's no way to 286 00:09:27,750 --> 00:09:25,600 locally modify something when you build 287 00:09:29,509 --> 00:09:27,760 it from patterns and this is why we call 288 00:09:31,829 --> 00:09:29,519 it holistic there's a one to all 289 00:09:32,949 --> 00:09:31,839 relationship between these domains 290 00:09:35,190 --> 00:09:32,959 let me show you this one to all 291 00:09:37,509 --> 00:09:35,200 relationship even deeper if i take the 292 00:09:39,190 --> 00:09:37,519 map and i 293 00:09:41,269 --> 00:09:39,200 filter out some of those frequencies 294 00:09:42,949 --> 00:09:41,279 this is a low-pass filter so i've 295 00:09:44,150 --> 00:09:42,959 blocked out the high frequencies what 296 00:09:46,710 --> 00:09:44,160 i've done is i've blocked out all 297 00:09:48,470 --> 00:09:46,720 components that contribute to quick 298 00:09:49,990 --> 00:09:48,480 changes in color 299 00:09:51,350 --> 00:09:50,000 across the screen and that means i'm 300 00:09:53,190 --> 00:09:51,360 blurring the edges 301 00:09:54,470 --> 00:09:53,200 so now i have a blurry screen a blurry 302 00:09:56,389 --> 00:09:54,480 territory 303 00:09:57,910 --> 00:09:56,399 but i've made a local change to the map 304 00:10:00,070 --> 00:09:57,920 in the frequency domain and affected the 305 00:10:02,310 --> 00:10:00,080 entire territory at once 306 00:10:03,910 --> 00:10:02,320 one to all 307 00:10:05,670 --> 00:10:03,920 i can do a high pass filter as well 308 00:10:08,069 --> 00:10:05,680 where i block out the middle frequencies 309 00:10:09,910 --> 00:10:08,079 and what i get is an edge finder 310 00:10:12,949 --> 00:10:09,920 this highlights the edges and removes 311 00:10:14,389 --> 00:10:12,959 sort of the dc component of the picture 312 00:10:16,550 --> 00:10:14,399 so you can make these changes which they 313 00:10:18,870 --> 00:10:16,560 do in adobe photoshop graphic designers 314 00:10:20,230 --> 00:10:18,880 are very familiar with this in music you 315 00:10:22,230 --> 00:10:20,240 also do this this is how you do a 316 00:10:24,630 --> 00:10:22,240 graphic equalizer and change the high 317 00:10:26,470 --> 00:10:24,640 end or the low end of a sound so 318 00:10:28,230 --> 00:10:26,480 that's a background on the fourier 319 00:10:29,829 --> 00:10:28,240 transform and how it applies to signals 320 00:10:31,430 --> 00:10:29,839 in in engineering 321 00:10:33,750 --> 00:10:31,440 so now i'm going to take that 322 00:10:35,269 --> 00:10:33,760 background and start to apply it to uh 323 00:10:36,550 --> 00:10:35,279 the quantum formalism 324 00:10:38,550 --> 00:10:36,560 before i even do that i'm going to talk 325 00:10:40,150 --> 00:10:38,560 about holograms 326 00:10:42,710 --> 00:10:40,160 so a hologram is made in the following 327 00:10:44,150 --> 00:10:42,720 way you shine light from a laser onto an 328 00:10:46,550 --> 00:10:44,160 object like the city 329 00:10:48,389 --> 00:10:46,560 and you also shine it onto a mirror and 330 00:10:49,910 --> 00:10:48,399 you you interfere these beams on a piece 331 00:10:51,030 --> 00:10:49,920 of film and the difference between the 332 00:10:52,790 --> 00:10:51,040 beams 333 00:10:54,470 --> 00:10:52,800 uh encodes 334 00:10:56,630 --> 00:10:54,480 the very specific unique information 335 00:10:58,949 --> 00:10:56,640 about the city that you see 336 00:11:01,430 --> 00:10:58,959 so in the film you encode this unique 337 00:11:03,590 --> 00:11:01,440 but impossible to decipher pattern 338 00:11:05,670 --> 00:11:03,600 and it's it's fixed on the film and then 339 00:11:07,670 --> 00:11:05,680 when i shine light again on the film it 340 00:11:09,829 --> 00:11:07,680 reproduces that pattern as if the city 341 00:11:13,750 --> 00:11:09,839 was there and you see you appear to see 342 00:11:18,150 --> 00:11:16,389 so what's special about a hologram 343 00:11:19,990 --> 00:11:18,160 is that each angle of the of the 344 00:11:21,509 --> 00:11:20,000 observer is a unique perspective on the 345 00:11:24,150 --> 00:11:21,519 whole image 346 00:11:26,310 --> 00:11:24,160 so right here the hologram is the 347 00:11:28,949 --> 00:11:26,320 gray rectangle that you see in three 348 00:11:32,069 --> 00:11:28,959 places left middle and right and in it 349 00:11:33,430 --> 00:11:32,079 is this image appearing of the city it 350 00:11:34,949 --> 00:11:33,440 sort of floats there it's sort of 351 00:11:37,509 --> 00:11:34,959 ethereal 352 00:11:39,269 --> 00:11:37,519 and you can tell i've put a star on a 353 00:11:41,110 --> 00:11:39,279 building in front and a circle on the 354 00:11:43,509 --> 00:11:41,120 building and back to illustrate the 355 00:11:46,389 --> 00:11:43,519 depth and you can see that as i move my 356 00:11:49,030 --> 00:11:46,399 position from left to middle to right 357 00:11:50,790 --> 00:11:49,040 the star and the circle move as if 358 00:11:52,870 --> 00:11:50,800 there's parallax as if they're separate 359 00:11:55,190 --> 00:11:52,880 in space and so there's this illusion of 360 00:11:56,550 --> 00:11:55,200 depth perception 361 00:11:57,990 --> 00:11:56,560 what's really crucial this is sort of 362 00:11:59,350 --> 00:11:58,000 the key point so i'm going to say it a 363 00:12:00,150 --> 00:11:59,360 couple times 364 00:12:03,110 --> 00:12:00,160 there's 365 00:12:04,069 --> 00:12:03,120 two different dimen definitions of space 366 00:12:08,389 --> 00:12:04,079 here 367 00:12:11,350 --> 00:12:08,399 buildings each building has a different 368 00:12:13,509 --> 00:12:11,360 as a certain position associated with it 369 00:12:15,269 --> 00:12:13,519 and then there's a position 370 00:12:17,110 --> 00:12:15,279 of the film 371 00:12:19,750 --> 00:12:17,120 and these are different things because 372 00:12:22,150 --> 00:12:19,760 when you move your perspective the star 373 00:12:23,829 --> 00:12:22,160 and the buildings move across the film 374 00:12:26,310 --> 00:12:23,839 so you need two sets of numbers to 375 00:12:28,069 --> 00:12:26,320 describe the position of the of the 376 00:12:30,069 --> 00:12:28,079 system you need to describe the image 377 00:12:31,990 --> 00:12:30,079 itself where it is and then the film 378 00:12:35,190 --> 00:12:32,000 where on the film you're looking so 379 00:12:36,790 --> 00:12:35,200 there's a separation between um 380 00:12:37,990 --> 00:12:36,800 the image and the filament background 381 00:12:40,069 --> 00:12:38,000 itself and this is going to come into 382 00:12:41,829 --> 00:12:40,079 play in a minute when we talk about 383 00:12:43,269 --> 00:12:41,839 actual physical events in space time 384 00:12:45,350 --> 00:12:43,279 being like the image you see in the 385 00:12:46,710 --> 00:12:45,360 hologram and the fields themselves being 386 00:12:51,110 --> 00:12:46,720 like the film that you can't actually 387 00:12:55,590 --> 00:12:53,110 so uh just a quick note if you look at 388 00:12:57,269 --> 00:12:55,600 this uh hologram from an angle or if you 389 00:12:59,350 --> 00:12:57,279 cut off part of it and look from the 390 00:13:01,190 --> 00:12:59,360 side you can it's like looking through a 391 00:13:02,870 --> 00:13:01,200 window like these curtains you can look 392 00:13:05,190 --> 00:13:02,880 behind a place that you've cut to see 393 00:13:07,590 --> 00:13:05,200 what's there so that's just a an 394 00:13:09,829 --> 00:13:07,600 intuitive piece about the hologram it's 395 00:13:12,069 --> 00:13:09,839 holistic in that sense so i want to jump 396 00:13:14,069 --> 00:13:12,079 into the theory and how how time can be 397 00:13:16,069 --> 00:13:14,079 represented in this way so there are two 398 00:13:17,829 --> 00:13:16,079 postulates in my work 399 00:13:19,509 --> 00:13:17,839 and these are sort of replacing the 400 00:13:21,590 --> 00:13:19,519 postulates of quantum mechanics although 401 00:13:23,910 --> 00:13:21,600 this this theory doesn't fully replace 402 00:13:27,190 --> 00:13:23,920 quantum mechanics but just uh quantum 403 00:13:29,190 --> 00:13:27,200 wave functions uh propagation 404 00:13:30,870 --> 00:13:29,200 so in the first postulate a system is 405 00:13:32,389 --> 00:13:30,880 fully described by four-dimensional 406 00:13:33,990 --> 00:13:32,399 signals in the space-time domain and the 407 00:13:36,069 --> 00:13:34,000 frequency domain and these are related 408 00:13:37,269 --> 00:13:36,079 by the fourier transform so this this is 409 00:13:39,189 --> 00:13:37,279 the wave function okay it's a 410 00:13:41,269 --> 00:13:39,199 four-dimensional wave function space end 411 00:13:43,030 --> 00:13:41,279 time and it's got its frequency domain 412 00:13:44,310 --> 00:13:43,040 counterpart which is also 413 00:13:46,629 --> 00:13:44,320 four-dimensional 414 00:13:48,310 --> 00:13:46,639 and interaction is the second postulate 415 00:13:49,590 --> 00:13:48,320 it's accomplished through convolution 416 00:13:51,670 --> 00:13:49,600 this is just what happens when you 417 00:13:54,310 --> 00:13:51,680 filter as data signal so but what i'm 418 00:13:56,230 --> 00:13:54,320 doing is just formulating quantum wave 419 00:13:57,430 --> 00:13:56,240 functions as data signals that's what 420 00:13:58,870 --> 00:13:57,440 this is doing 421 00:14:00,550 --> 00:13:58,880 if you start from there you get an 422 00:14:02,710 --> 00:14:00,560 equation on the bottom here which is the 423 00:14:04,150 --> 00:14:02,720 fundamental equation of evolution this 424 00:14:05,670 --> 00:14:04,160 is what i replace the schrodinger 425 00:14:08,069 --> 00:14:05,680 equation with 426 00:14:09,910 --> 00:14:08,079 so to get to that look at the image the 427 00:14:12,230 --> 00:14:09,920 picture here you've got light coming 428 00:14:14,629 --> 00:14:12,240 from the left hitting a piece of film 429 00:14:16,470 --> 00:14:14,639 that's projecting and so the if you look 430 00:14:19,030 --> 00:14:16,480 at the top symbols you've got g sub i is 431 00:14:19,829 --> 00:14:19,040 the original light it strikes t sub a 432 00:14:21,829 --> 00:14:19,839 and 433 00:14:24,470 --> 00:14:21,839 that turns into g sub t it's a new 434 00:14:27,670 --> 00:14:24,480 signal and so the signal g that 435 00:14:28,710 --> 00:14:27,680 propagates across this the room to go to 436 00:14:31,430 --> 00:14:28,720 a screen 437 00:14:33,829 --> 00:14:31,440 is actually propagated with this letter 438 00:14:35,590 --> 00:14:33,839 capital h capital h is the amplitude 439 00:14:37,670 --> 00:14:35,600 transfer function and it's operating in 440 00:14:39,829 --> 00:14:37,680 the frequency domain so what we do to 441 00:14:41,509 --> 00:14:39,839 move a signal across space and time is 442 00:14:43,750 --> 00:14:41,519 we convert it to the frequency domain 443 00:14:45,430 --> 00:14:43,760 and then we modify it there and then we 444 00:14:46,790 --> 00:14:45,440 convert it back that's what the lens is 445 00:14:49,670 --> 00:14:46,800 for to convert it back to the spatial 446 00:14:51,430 --> 00:14:49,680 domain to get it to the screen 447 00:14:53,269 --> 00:14:51,440 you can do the same thing with the 448 00:14:55,110 --> 00:14:53,279 wavefunction it just the mathematics is 449 00:14:56,949 --> 00:14:55,120 exactly exactly the same when 450 00:14:59,430 --> 00:14:56,959 specifically when you treat the 451 00:15:02,870 --> 00:14:59,440 wavefunction as a four-dimensional 452 00:15:04,310 --> 00:15:02,880 x and t or x y z and t wave function and 453 00:15:05,590 --> 00:15:04,320 i'm going to get to a minute 454 00:15:07,670 --> 00:15:05,600 exactly why that's different from the 455 00:15:09,670 --> 00:15:07,680 schrodinger equation wave function 456 00:15:11,670 --> 00:15:09,680 but what we're doing is sticking really 457 00:15:12,470 --> 00:15:11,680 strictly to the math space and time are 458 00:15:14,629 --> 00:15:12,480 both 459 00:15:16,470 --> 00:15:14,639 just independent variables in this four 460 00:15:18,069 --> 00:15:16,480 dimensional hologram 461 00:15:19,910 --> 00:15:18,079 and the equation is essentially you 462 00:15:20,949 --> 00:15:19,920 start with the psi 463 00:15:21,670 --> 00:15:20,959 in 464 00:15:27,590 --> 00:15:21,680 the 465 00:15:28,949 --> 00:15:27,600 equation you multiply by some function v 466 00:15:30,389 --> 00:15:28,959 of x of t 467 00:15:31,990 --> 00:15:30,399 and this is essentially related to the 468 00:15:34,069 --> 00:15:32,000 potential 469 00:15:35,509 --> 00:15:34,079 of the system and then you fourier 470 00:15:37,269 --> 00:15:35,519 transform it so you convert it to the 471 00:15:39,350 --> 00:15:37,279 frequency domain you multiply it by 472 00:15:41,670 --> 00:15:39,360 another signal which has to do with the 473 00:15:43,990 --> 00:15:41,680 kinetic portion of the hamiltonian and 474 00:15:46,230 --> 00:15:44,000 then you convert it back to 475 00:15:47,509 --> 00:15:46,240 with the inverse fourier transform to 476 00:15:49,269 --> 00:15:47,519 psi prime 477 00:15:50,949 --> 00:15:49,279 and that gives you this updated wave 478 00:15:52,230 --> 00:15:50,959 function 479 00:15:53,430 --> 00:15:52,240 now just quickly what's happening here 480 00:15:55,670 --> 00:15:53,440 is you're taking your signal you're 481 00:15:57,910 --> 00:15:55,680 modifying the phases in a specific way 482 00:16:00,550 --> 00:15:57,920 to evolve it and then you're converting 483 00:16:02,389 --> 00:16:00,560 it back to the space-time domain now 484 00:16:04,629 --> 00:16:02,399 here's the key point 485 00:16:07,189 --> 00:16:04,639 this whole thing is describing 486 00:16:09,509 --> 00:16:07,199 a system of space and time 487 00:16:12,710 --> 00:16:09,519 it's a map of space and time and 488 00:16:14,230 --> 00:16:12,720 therefore it cannot change in time right 489 00:16:16,389 --> 00:16:14,240 because if something has time as its 490 00:16:18,550 --> 00:16:16,399 variable the function itself cannot 491 00:16:20,230 --> 00:16:18,560 evolve in time because it's it's that's 492 00:16:20,949 --> 00:16:20,240 its independent variable 493 00:16:22,790 --> 00:16:20,959 so 494 00:16:26,389 --> 00:16:22,800 the psi in this case unlike the 495 00:16:28,150 --> 00:16:26,399 schrodinger equation psi cannot evolve 496 00:16:30,629 --> 00:16:28,160 and what that means is you know the 497 00:16:33,430 --> 00:16:30,639 equation on the bottom psi and psi prime 498 00:16:35,670 --> 00:16:33,440 have to be exactly the same in variant 499 00:16:38,310 --> 00:16:35,680 and what that means is 500 00:16:40,629 --> 00:16:38,320 v and h have to be specifically 501 00:16:43,189 --> 00:16:40,639 formulated so that they cancel 502 00:16:45,430 --> 00:16:43,199 so that the change that happens from v 503 00:16:46,949 --> 00:16:45,440 in the frequency in the spatial domain 504 00:16:49,030 --> 00:16:46,959 and then cancels with the change that 505 00:16:50,310 --> 00:16:49,040 happens in h in this frequency domain 506 00:16:51,590 --> 00:16:50,320 and so when you get back to the inverse 507 00:16:53,430 --> 00:16:51,600 fourier transform you get back to the 508 00:16:55,110 --> 00:16:53,440 original function so that's what i'm 509 00:16:57,990 --> 00:16:55,120 working with to get the mathematics of 510 00:17:00,069 --> 00:16:58,000 dynamics out of this system 511 00:17:02,310 --> 00:17:00,079 this is not schrodinger's wavefunction 512 00:17:04,069 --> 00:17:02,320 it's i think a generalization of that 513 00:17:06,069 --> 00:17:04,079 in the schrodinger case you have a 3d 514 00:17:07,590 --> 00:17:06,079 function evolving in time 515 00:17:09,750 --> 00:17:07,600 and you can take a cross section or a 516 00:17:11,510 --> 00:17:09,760 time slice of that wave function like 517 00:17:13,510 --> 00:17:11,520 the strobe light of the basketball here 518 00:17:15,909 --> 00:17:13,520 or the quantum fields on the right top 519 00:17:17,829 --> 00:17:15,919 right you have these slices of time each 520 00:17:19,669 --> 00:17:17,839 of which has a distribution of fields 521 00:17:20,620 --> 00:17:19,679 but you can separate at every given time 522 00:17:21,909 --> 00:17:20,630 there's a there's a 523 00:17:23,990 --> 00:17:21,919 [Music] 524 00:17:26,150 --> 00:17:24,000 recognizable distribution 525 00:17:28,069 --> 00:17:26,160 this is not true of the holographic wave 526 00:17:29,830 --> 00:17:28,079 function it's truly a four-dimensional 527 00:17:31,190 --> 00:17:29,840 interference pattern and cross-sections 528 00:17:32,870 --> 00:17:31,200 are meaningless 529 00:17:34,549 --> 00:17:32,880 just like a hologram if you take a 530 00:17:35,830 --> 00:17:34,559 hologram you cut it down the middle and 531 00:17:37,270 --> 00:17:35,840 you look at the data right along the 532 00:17:38,789 --> 00:17:37,280 edge that you cut it doesn't mean 533 00:17:40,390 --> 00:17:38,799 anything it doesn't represent any 534 00:17:42,230 --> 00:17:40,400 position of the image or anything 535 00:17:44,630 --> 00:17:42,240 because the image like the city before 536 00:17:46,150 --> 00:17:44,640 when we tilt the city moves it's not 537 00:17:48,470 --> 00:17:46,160 it's not associated with a specific 538 00:17:50,390 --> 00:17:48,480 point on the film 539 00:17:52,070 --> 00:17:50,400 so there's this separation between the 540 00:17:53,669 --> 00:17:52,080 film and the image and that's what we're 541 00:17:56,150 --> 00:17:53,679 seeing here what we're talking about in 542 00:17:58,310 --> 00:17:56,160 the wave function here is the the film 543 00:18:01,110 --> 00:17:58,320 the background film that gives rise to 544 00:18:05,430 --> 00:18:01,120 the dynamics of particles and events and 545 00:18:08,789 --> 00:18:07,110 so just to give you a specific example 546 00:18:11,350 --> 00:18:08,799 of how this works this is an abstract 547 00:18:12,470 --> 00:18:11,360 version this is not true numbers but 548 00:18:14,230 --> 00:18:12,480 if you have some kind of interference 549 00:18:16,470 --> 00:18:14,240 pattern that looks like this time and 550 00:18:18,070 --> 00:18:16,480 space on the bottom left and but again 551 00:18:19,669 --> 00:18:18,080 this is a hologram in both space and 552 00:18:20,630 --> 00:18:19,679 time 553 00:18:22,549 --> 00:18:20,640 and 554 00:18:23,669 --> 00:18:22,559 that corresponds to some set of points 555 00:18:25,909 --> 00:18:23,679 or objects 556 00:18:28,230 --> 00:18:25,919 sitting in space above the hologram that 557 00:18:30,310 --> 00:18:28,240 is that it's encoding so this hologram 558 00:18:31,669 --> 00:18:30,320 encodes a dynamics it encodes a 559 00:18:33,190 --> 00:18:31,679 trajectory 560 00:18:34,870 --> 00:18:33,200 that's what i'm trying to say and this 561 00:18:36,870 --> 00:18:34,880 trajectory is like the slip and slide 562 00:18:37,750 --> 00:18:36,880 you get on at one point at the top you 563 00:18:39,750 --> 00:18:37,760 know exactly where you're going to end 564 00:18:41,110 --> 00:18:39,760 up at the bottom as some time later 565 00:18:44,870 --> 00:18:41,120 because the 566 00:18:46,710 --> 00:18:44,880 the hologram encodes the entire journey 567 00:18:48,630 --> 00:18:46,720 and so our experience of moving along 568 00:18:49,669 --> 00:18:48,640 the slip inside is a personal subjective 569 00:18:51,750 --> 00:18:49,679 experience 570 00:18:55,029 --> 00:18:51,760 but the the mathematics is pointing to 571 00:18:57,190 --> 00:18:55,039 an abstract a more objective indefinite 572 00:19:00,230 --> 00:18:57,200 reality where there's the entire 573 00:19:01,830 --> 00:19:00,240 timeline is defined all at once 574 00:19:03,909 --> 00:19:01,840 and the mathematics here in the free 575 00:19:06,230 --> 00:19:03,919 particle cases when you set the 576 00:19:08,230 --> 00:19:06,240 potential v equal to zero you just get 577 00:19:09,750 --> 00:19:08,240 this function 578 00:19:11,750 --> 00:19:09,760 f a fourier transform of the wave 579 00:19:14,230 --> 00:19:11,760 function times this phase factor e to 580 00:19:16,630 --> 00:19:14,240 the i k x naught minus omega t naught 581 00:19:18,230 --> 00:19:16,640 this is the general equation of a wave 582 00:19:19,909 --> 00:19:18,240 but you need to make the whole 583 00:19:21,750 --> 00:19:19,919 constraint is to make the wave function 584 00:19:24,070 --> 00:19:21,760 invariant you need k x naught minus 585 00:19:26,230 --> 00:19:24,080 omega t naught to be zero and that's how 586 00:19:29,190 --> 00:19:26,240 we get that constraint is how we get 587 00:19:31,270 --> 00:19:29,200 dynamics because the equation kx minus 588 00:19:33,270 --> 00:19:31,280 omega t is the equation of a traveling 589 00:19:34,789 --> 00:19:33,280 wave or a particle traveling at a 590 00:19:36,230 --> 00:19:34,799 specific velocity 591 00:19:37,750 --> 00:19:36,240 and so this is essentially newton's 592 00:19:40,390 --> 00:19:37,760 third law saying that a particle will 593 00:19:41,830 --> 00:19:40,400 stay in motion at a straight line 594 00:19:43,350 --> 00:19:41,840 in this case 595 00:19:45,029 --> 00:19:43,360 so that's the idea the space time 596 00:19:47,029 --> 00:19:45,039 trajectory is based is created as a 597 00:19:49,270 --> 00:19:47,039 whole from this equation that you see in 598 00:19:50,549 --> 00:19:49,280 the top right 599 00:19:53,590 --> 00:19:50,559 and this is important in the following 600 00:19:55,190 --> 00:19:53,600 way if i take a distance star starlight 601 00:19:57,669 --> 00:19:55,200 traveling to earth for like a million 602 00:20:00,390 --> 00:19:57,679 years and it hits houston well that 603 00:20:02,549 --> 00:20:00,400 trajectory is defined as a hole 604 00:20:05,029 --> 00:20:02,559 in the frequency domain from beginning 605 00:20:06,390 --> 00:20:05,039 to end and that's a really key idea 606 00:20:08,070 --> 00:20:06,400 and i've just drawn a sort of a picture 607 00:20:10,070 --> 00:20:08,080 of what that would look like this is a 608 00:20:11,510 --> 00:20:10,080 sync function a dying sinusoid 609 00:20:13,990 --> 00:20:11,520 corresponding to like a particle in a 610 00:20:16,230 --> 00:20:14,000 box where you've got uh 611 00:20:18,310 --> 00:20:16,240 the the light existed at one point but 612 00:20:19,909 --> 00:20:18,320 not before that time and it traveled and 613 00:20:21,669 --> 00:20:19,919 then stopped existing when it got 614 00:20:23,510 --> 00:20:21,679 absorbed and not afterwards so there's 615 00:20:25,350 --> 00:20:23,520 like a particle in the box where 616 00:20:26,950 --> 00:20:25,360 you've got a sharp beginning and a sharp 617 00:20:29,510 --> 00:20:26,960 ending and that corresponds to some 618 00:20:31,990 --> 00:20:29,520 pattern in the frequency domain 619 00:20:33,350 --> 00:20:32,000 well if i insert a satellite i've got a 620 00:20:34,710 --> 00:20:33,360 different endpoint 621 00:20:36,549 --> 00:20:34,720 and so the fourier transform of this 622 00:20:37,669 --> 00:20:36,559 second example is fundamentally 623 00:20:39,830 --> 00:20:37,679 different 624 00:20:41,830 --> 00:20:39,840 every frequency has changed there's not 625 00:20:44,470 --> 00:20:41,840 like part of it stays the same so the 626 00:20:46,070 --> 00:20:44,480 journey before it hits the satellite 627 00:20:48,390 --> 00:20:46,080 is paradoxical 628 00:20:49,830 --> 00:20:48,400 because i've now changed the pattern in 629 00:20:51,990 --> 00:20:49,840 the frequency domain according to which 630 00:20:54,310 --> 00:20:52,000 it was traveling 631 00:20:56,789 --> 00:20:54,320 but i've modified it like after the fact 632 00:20:58,230 --> 00:20:56,799 but the frequency domain doesn't have 633 00:20:59,909 --> 00:20:58,240 time in it 634 00:21:02,070 --> 00:20:59,919 time is removed from the frequency 635 00:21:04,149 --> 00:21:02,080 domain and so this timelessness is 636 00:21:06,149 --> 00:21:04,159 really a conundrum 637 00:21:07,750 --> 00:21:06,159 and the only way to resolve this issue 638 00:21:10,070 --> 00:21:07,760 or at the way that i resolve it is by 639 00:21:11,669 --> 00:21:10,080 suggesting that there are both possible 640 00:21:13,669 --> 00:21:11,679 frequency patterns both possible 641 00:21:15,029 --> 00:21:13,679 holograms that 642 00:21:16,789 --> 00:21:15,039 are possible and it's not until the 643 00:21:19,190 --> 00:21:16,799 satellite comes into place that one of 644 00:21:20,470 --> 00:21:19,200 them becomes the one that has been the 645 00:21:22,070 --> 00:21:20,480 light's been traveling according to the 646 00:21:23,909 --> 00:21:22,080 whole time 647 00:21:25,190 --> 00:21:23,919 so this is just reinforcing the notion 648 00:21:28,390 --> 00:21:25,200 of a 649 00:21:29,510 --> 00:21:28,400 way many worlds or multiverse but we 650 00:21:30,870 --> 00:21:29,520 didn't start with the traditional 651 00:21:33,750 --> 00:21:30,880 quantum mechanics we started with the 652 00:21:35,430 --> 00:21:33,760 mathematics of fourier transforms 653 00:21:37,510 --> 00:21:35,440 and there's a key point which is that 654 00:21:39,590 --> 00:21:37,520 the satellite now becomes an essential 655 00:21:41,110 --> 00:21:39,600 part of the system it's just because 656 00:21:43,750 --> 00:21:41,120 it's a macroscopic object makes no 657 00:21:46,070 --> 00:21:43,760 difference here it is part of what 658 00:21:48,390 --> 00:21:46,080 creates the frequency domain pattern and 659 00:21:49,590 --> 00:21:48,400 part of what uh macroscopically is in a 660 00:21:52,070 --> 00:21:49,600 superposition on these different 661 00:21:55,029 --> 00:21:52,080 branches of the hologram so from this 662 00:21:57,350 --> 00:21:55,039 holism comes the notion that macroscopic 663 00:21:59,110 --> 00:21:57,360 objects as a as a whole also have 664 00:22:01,190 --> 00:21:59,120 qualities that they can be defined 665 00:22:03,590 --> 00:22:01,200 quantum mechanically not 666 00:22:05,270 --> 00:22:03,600 from building them up from parts but as 667 00:22:07,270 --> 00:22:05,280 a whole and this is really different 668 00:22:09,270 --> 00:22:07,280 because the idea of decoherence is not 669 00:22:10,710 --> 00:22:09,280 an issue you're not adding up the little 670 00:22:12,230 --> 00:22:10,720 atoms one at a time and having them 671 00:22:13,590 --> 00:22:12,240 decode here you're talking about the 672 00:22:16,950 --> 00:22:13,600 quantum mechanical properties of an 673 00:22:19,350 --> 00:22:16,960 entire object a symbol a symbolic object 674 00:22:21,990 --> 00:22:19,360 so that's one of the i think most 675 00:22:24,149 --> 00:22:22,000 controversial pieces here 676 00:22:26,950 --> 00:22:24,159 uh so just to emphasize a couple of 677 00:22:29,510 --> 00:22:26,960 points before we close 678 00:22:31,990 --> 00:22:29,520 i want to clarify this idea of 679 00:22:33,669 --> 00:22:32,000 different types of descriptions of space 680 00:22:35,669 --> 00:22:33,679 and time you've got the visible 681 00:22:37,190 --> 00:22:35,679 coordinates of the city like this that's 682 00:22:38,710 --> 00:22:37,200 what the star is it's a thing you can 683 00:22:40,789 --> 00:22:38,720 measure 684 00:22:42,710 --> 00:22:40,799 oops i went back 685 00:22:44,390 --> 00:22:42,720 and it's what you see and then there's 686 00:22:46,470 --> 00:22:44,400 the non-visible parameters which is the 687 00:22:48,310 --> 00:22:46,480 film and this is a distinction that's 688 00:22:50,630 --> 00:22:48,320 very important it leads to this notion 689 00:22:52,149 --> 00:22:50,640 of relationality that 690 00:22:54,390 --> 00:22:52,159 in this in this 691 00:22:55,460 --> 00:22:54,400 formalism the quantum mechanics is 692 00:22:57,110 --> 00:22:55,470 required to be relational 693 00:22:58,630 --> 00:22:57,120 [Music] 694 00:23:00,230 --> 00:22:58,640 you've got the separation between the 695 00:23:01,590 --> 00:23:00,240 the film and the image that you're 696 00:23:02,870 --> 00:23:01,600 seeing 697 00:23:04,710 --> 00:23:02,880 so 698 00:23:07,270 --> 00:23:04,720 timelessness is one of the coral areas 699 00:23:10,070 --> 00:23:07,280 here the wave functions are unchanging a 700 00:23:11,430 --> 00:23:10,080 smoothly evolving present doesn't exist 701 00:23:14,310 --> 00:23:11,440 in the frequency domain there is no such 702 00:23:16,549 --> 00:23:14,320 thing as time so if the time if the path 703 00:23:18,390 --> 00:23:16,559 is describing if the frequency domain is 704 00:23:20,870 --> 00:23:18,400 describing an entire path through space 705 00:23:22,710 --> 00:23:20,880 time you can't single out a particular 706 00:23:23,669 --> 00:23:22,720 point on that path in the frequency 707 00:23:25,350 --> 00:23:23,679 domain 708 00:23:27,590 --> 00:23:25,360 there's no such thing 709 00:23:29,430 --> 00:23:27,600 so there can't be any physical reality 710 00:23:31,510 --> 00:23:29,440 or significance to that 711 00:23:32,950 --> 00:23:31,520 particular point on the path if it 712 00:23:35,430 --> 00:23:32,960 doesn't get represented in the frequency 713 00:23:37,029 --> 00:23:35,440 domain so the idea of a present moment 714 00:23:39,830 --> 00:23:37,039 is a subjective 715 00:23:41,830 --> 00:23:39,840 idea not an objective idea 716 00:23:43,669 --> 00:23:41,840 we've also talked about holism frequency 717 00:23:45,750 --> 00:23:43,679 space defines paths through spacetime as 718 00:23:47,590 --> 00:23:45,760 a whole motion is encoded as a whole 719 00:23:49,669 --> 00:23:47,600 into the phase distribution 720 00:23:51,269 --> 00:23:49,679 and relationality the idea that only 721 00:23:53,510 --> 00:23:51,279 interactions are physically meaningful 722 00:23:55,190 --> 00:23:53,520 only relationships only the measurement 723 00:23:57,510 --> 00:23:55,200 the measurement i make is relative to me 724 00:23:58,630 --> 00:23:57,520 and the results i get are relative to me 725 00:24:01,269 --> 00:23:58,640 and so there's two different types of 726 00:24:02,630 --> 00:24:01,279 space time and we this this comes from 727 00:24:05,510 --> 00:24:02,640 the sense that the world is holographic 728 00:24:09,190 --> 00:24:05,520 in a real sense it's really mirroring 729 00:24:11,029 --> 00:24:10,070 so 730 00:24:12,710 --> 00:24:11,039 uh 731 00:24:14,390 --> 00:24:12,720 novel conclusions here quantum 732 00:24:16,710 --> 00:24:14,400 superposition emerges for systems as a 733 00:24:18,630 --> 00:24:16,720 whole including macroscopic objects 734 00:24:21,029 --> 00:24:18,640 and the world must be relational and 735 00:24:22,789 --> 00:24:21,039 this is specifically targeting 736 00:24:25,750 --> 00:24:22,799 some of the interpretations of quantum 737 00:24:26,950 --> 00:24:25,760 mechanics which can be distinguished 738 00:24:28,230 --> 00:24:26,960 it's a famous problem that you can't 739 00:24:30,230 --> 00:24:28,240 distinguish interpretations of quantum 740 00:24:32,390 --> 00:24:30,240 mechanics but penrose's gravitational 741 00:24:34,070 --> 00:24:32,400 model and the arc or orchestrated 742 00:24:36,870 --> 00:24:34,080 objective reduction are not consistent 743 00:24:37,590 --> 00:24:36,880 with my proposal here because they 744 00:24:39,990 --> 00:24:37,600 they 745 00:24:42,230 --> 00:24:40,000 imply objective collapse and this 746 00:24:44,390 --> 00:24:42,240 requires a relative sense in which the 747 00:24:46,470 --> 00:24:44,400 world is really informational 748 00:24:48,149 --> 00:24:46,480 and not objectively collapsing 749 00:24:50,470 --> 00:24:48,159 so this is some ability to distinguish 750 00:24:51,510 --> 00:24:50,480 experimentally between these views 751 00:24:53,750 --> 00:24:51,520 um 752 00:24:56,070 --> 00:24:53,760 we have five minutes 753 00:24:57,110 --> 00:24:56,080 so i'm just going to hint at to how this 754 00:24:59,110 --> 00:24:57,120 points to the possibility of 755 00:25:00,950 --> 00:24:59,120 synchronicity 756 00:25:03,029 --> 00:25:00,960 so this leads to because of the 757 00:25:04,950 --> 00:25:03,039 relational aspect here and the fact that 758 00:25:06,630 --> 00:25:04,960 only events are real only the 759 00:25:07,990 --> 00:25:06,640 interactions are real 760 00:25:08,950 --> 00:25:08,000 when light leaves the sun that's an 761 00:25:10,549 --> 00:25:08,960 event 762 00:25:12,230 --> 00:25:10,559 but it's not until you see it on earth 763 00:25:13,590 --> 00:25:12,240 that another event happens and in 764 00:25:14,950 --> 00:25:13,600 between there's all these branches of 765 00:25:16,070 --> 00:25:14,960 possibility 766 00:25:17,750 --> 00:25:16,080 so here's the layout of all the 767 00:25:20,149 --> 00:25:17,760 multiverse branches 768 00:25:22,710 --> 00:25:20,159 when you see the light 769 00:25:23,990 --> 00:25:22,720 it retroactively becomes the path that 770 00:25:25,669 --> 00:25:24,000 it traveled 771 00:25:26,789 --> 00:25:25,679 this is known as the delayed choice 772 00:25:28,630 --> 00:25:26,799 phenomenon 773 00:25:30,710 --> 00:25:28,640 but in this theory it applies to all 774 00:25:31,990 --> 00:25:30,720 scales of objects macroscopic or 775 00:25:33,190 --> 00:25:32,000 microscopic 776 00:25:34,789 --> 00:25:33,200 and so there's eight minutes of 777 00:25:36,710 --> 00:25:34,799 undetermined time here that get 778 00:25:38,230 --> 00:25:36,720 retroactively filled in based on the 779 00:25:40,310 --> 00:25:38,240 observation that i make to see the light 780 00:25:41,990 --> 00:25:40,320 at the last minute 781 00:25:43,750 --> 00:25:42,000 and this is similar in language you can 782 00:25:45,990 --> 00:25:43,760 get a sense for what this means i call 783 00:25:48,470 --> 00:25:46,000 it retroactive event determination 784 00:25:51,190 --> 00:25:48,480 uh if you say the sentence the old train 785 00:25:53,029 --> 00:25:51,200 you probably picture a train like that 786 00:25:54,230 --> 00:25:53,039 the old train left the station so you're 787 00:25:55,750 --> 00:25:54,240 picturing a train moving out of the 788 00:25:58,230 --> 00:25:55,760 station but if you change the end of the 789 00:26:00,470 --> 00:25:58,240 sentence the old train the young 790 00:26:02,630 --> 00:26:00,480 then you have a very different meaning 791 00:26:03,669 --> 00:26:02,640 the elders are training the youth 792 00:26:05,430 --> 00:26:03,679 the words in the beginning of the 793 00:26:06,950 --> 00:26:05,440 sentence change their meaning 794 00:26:08,470 --> 00:26:06,960 according to the end of 795 00:26:10,950 --> 00:26:08,480 the sentence so this is called local 796 00:26:12,710 --> 00:26:10,960 ambiguity and it's what makes possible 797 00:26:15,029 --> 00:26:12,720 synchronicity in my view 798 00:26:16,630 --> 00:26:15,039 a synchronicity in my definition is an 799 00:26:19,269 --> 00:26:16,640 unusual circumstance whose meaning 800 00:26:20,870 --> 00:26:19,279 becomes clear in the future 801 00:26:22,630 --> 00:26:20,880 so it's not until later that there's a 802 00:26:24,950 --> 00:26:22,640 connection and there's a connection 803 00:26:27,669 --> 00:26:24,960 across time that's possible with this 804 00:26:29,510 --> 00:26:27,679 notion of timelines we have a tree drawn 805 00:26:30,950 --> 00:26:29,520 here and you can see each of these tree 806 00:26:33,669 --> 00:26:30,960 branches is like one of those lines i 807 00:26:35,990 --> 00:26:33,679 drew earlier this unitary evolution and 808 00:26:37,590 --> 00:26:36,000 there's the branching points and the the 809 00:26:39,350 --> 00:26:37,600 future experiences at the top that we're 810 00:26:40,390 --> 00:26:39,360 seeking to have are what we call the 811 00:26:42,549 --> 00:26:40,400 apples 812 00:26:44,390 --> 00:26:42,559 the the target experiences and in the 813 00:26:45,669 --> 00:26:44,400 middle are these events that happen to 814 00:26:47,190 --> 00:26:45,679 us which we don't understand why they're 815 00:26:48,390 --> 00:26:47,200 happening but they're happening because 816 00:26:49,909 --> 00:26:48,400 they're part of the story line that 817 00:26:51,510 --> 00:26:49,919 leads to the the apples at the top of 818 00:26:53,029 --> 00:26:51,520 the tree so because there's this 819 00:26:55,190 --> 00:26:53,039 connection from past to present to 820 00:26:57,510 --> 00:26:55,200 future in a timeline you can actually 821 00:26:58,789 --> 00:26:57,520 start to look at how these things 822 00:27:00,870 --> 00:26:58,799 interrelate 823 00:27:03,029 --> 00:27:00,880 a temporally and that this is exactly 824 00:27:05,110 --> 00:27:03,039 what we need for synchronicity i think 825 00:27:06,950 --> 00:27:05,120 and so synchronicity is possible because 826 00:27:08,390 --> 00:27:06,960 of unobserved timelines because of the 827 00:27:09,990 --> 00:27:08,400 nature of unobserved timelines and how 828 00:27:13,190 --> 00:27:10,000 they can fall into place in different 829 00:27:14,470 --> 00:27:13,200 ways based on the the choices we make 830 00:27:15,909 --> 00:27:14,480 and then that's something i'm 831 00:27:17,510 --> 00:27:15,919 speculating here that we can go beyond 832 00:27:19,350 --> 00:27:17,520 maybe in the follow-up room but i think 833 00:27:24,310 --> 00:27:19,360 it's all supported by this notion of 834 00:27:29,669 --> 00:27:27,350 so and takeaways are timelessness holism 835 00:27:30,470 --> 00:27:29,679 and relationality 836 00:27:31,830 --> 00:27:30,480 and 837 00:27:32,870 --> 00:27:31,840 i'll skip the piece about quantum field 838 00:27:34,149 --> 00:27:32,880 theory but if you're interested in the 839 00:27:35,750 --> 00:27:34,159 relationship to quantum field theory we 840 00:27:37,750 --> 00:27:35,760 can talk about that i'll just touch on 841 00:27:38,950 --> 00:27:37,760 bohm's implicate order bohm sought to 842 00:27:41,110 --> 00:27:38,960 develop quantum mechanics into the 843 00:27:42,870 --> 00:27:41,120 implicated explicit order 844 00:27:44,389 --> 00:27:42,880 and his structure emerges naturally in 845 00:27:46,310 --> 00:27:44,399 this formalism he's been a huge 846 00:27:47,430 --> 00:27:46,320 inspiration and motivation for me his 847 00:27:48,630 --> 00:27:47,440 theories 848 00:27:50,789 --> 00:27:48,640 and his favorite metaphor was the 849 00:27:52,789 --> 00:27:50,799 hologram and the fourier transform 850 00:27:54,549 --> 00:27:52,799 so that's what drew me to this 851 00:27:57,350 --> 00:27:54,559 and here we've described the implicat 852 00:27:59,669 --> 00:27:57,360 order without space or time parameter as 853 00:28:01,590 --> 00:27:59,679 one would expect for an implicate order 854 00:28:03,190 --> 00:28:01,600 yet a space-time explicate description 855 00:28:04,789 --> 00:28:03,200 can be obtained from the implicate 856 00:28:07,190 --> 00:28:04,799 description through the fourier 857 00:28:08,950 --> 00:28:07,200 transform so i think it's a very natural 858 00:28:10,549 --> 00:28:08,960 clue that the fourier transform does all 859 00:28:13,350 --> 00:28:10,559 this and i've tried to formulate it in 860 00:28:14,710 --> 00:28:13,360 the simplest possible way using 861 00:28:16,470 --> 00:28:14,720 the mathematics that we already know and 862 00:28:19,029 --> 00:28:16,480 love and just apply that mathematics 863 00:28:21,269 --> 00:28:19,039 really purely to space momentum and to 864 00:28:22,710 --> 00:28:21,279 time and energy equally and seeing what 865 00:28:25,830 --> 00:28:22,720 that tells us about this about the 866 00:28:27,669 --> 00:28:25,840 mathematics and the physics 867 00:28:30,149 --> 00:28:27,679 so if you want to follow up on the paper 868 00:28:32,310 --> 00:28:30,159 it's available through the mdpi website 869 00:28:34,310 --> 00:28:32,320 at quantum reports journal it's called 870 00:28:35,350 --> 00:28:34,320 space time pads as a whole if you want 871 00:28:37,110 --> 00:28:35,360 to read an 872 00:28:38,710 --> 00:28:37,120 interview that i just was part of 873 00:28:40,750 --> 00:28:38,720 recently on holographic simulation 874 00:28:43,190 --> 00:28:40,760 theory you can go to the link there the 875 00:28:45,750 --> 00:28:43,200 tinyurl.com it's also on my website or 876 00:28:47,110 --> 00:28:45,760 on medium.com and again the research was 877 00:28:49,669 --> 00:28:47,120 supported by the foundational questions 878 00:28:51,669 --> 00:28:49,679 institute via funding from the fagin 879 00:28:53,750 --> 00:28:51,679 foundation great folks to work with i 880 00:28:55,269 --> 00:28:53,760 really am grateful for them and i do 881 00:28:57,350 --> 00:28:55,279 have workshops that i lead on flow 882 00:28:59,269 --> 00:28:57,360 synchronicity and wholeness so i have 883 00:29:00,630 --> 00:28:59,279 one coming up this weekend in fact 884 00:29:02,389 --> 00:29:00,640 you can just go to my website below to 885 00:29:03,909 --> 00:29:02,399

00:29:07,909 --> 00:29:06,360 that's 889 00:29:09,190 --> 00:29:07,919 synchronicityinstitute.com which is my 890 00:29:10,710 --> 00:29:09,200 organization 891 00:29:12,549 --> 00:29:10,720 thanks a lot to the sse and the 892 00:29:13,750 --> 00:29:12,559 organizers this week i really appreciate 893 00:29:22,149 --> 00:29:13,760 being here and appreciate all of your 894 00:29:25,269 --> 00:29:24,070 so i'm assuming we're out of time and 895 00:29:27,110 --> 00:29:25,279 we're going to do questions i'd love to 896 00:29:28,310 --> 00:29:27,120 do q a and i think there were some 897 00:29:29,350 --> 00:29:28,320 questions in the chat so let me open 898 00:29:30,710 --> 00:29:29,360 that up 899 00:29:33,430 --> 00:29:30,720 oh of course 900 00:29:35,269 --> 00:29:33,440 first of all excellent presentations guy 901 00:29:37,510 --> 00:29:35,279 it was a 902 00:29:39,669 --> 00:29:37,520 it was something it was something really 903 00:29:41,830 --> 00:29:39,679 so um there are some comments regarding 904 00:29:43,110 --> 00:29:41,840 that 905 00:29:44,470 --> 00:29:43,120 some part of your target was a great 906 00:29:47,430 --> 00:29:44,480 metaphor i think 907 00:29:49,269 --> 00:29:47,440 there it was related to the holograms 908 00:29:51,029 --> 00:29:49,279 there's a question here so if your 909 00:29:53,269 --> 00:29:51,039 formulation is in some sense an 910 00:29:54,950 --> 00:29:53,279 improvement of regular quantum mechanics 911 00:29:57,350 --> 00:29:54,960 of course it would still agree with all 912 00:29:59,110 --> 00:29:57,360 the well-verified tests right have you 913 00:30:03,430 --> 00:29:59,120 reproduced anything like the double slit 914 00:30:07,269 --> 00:30:05,669 the hydrogen atom is the best example 915 00:30:08,630 --> 00:30:07,279 the hydrogen atom is a slightly 916 00:30:10,710 --> 00:30:08,640 different mathematics because it's 917 00:30:12,230 --> 00:30:10,720 radial so you take this fourier 918 00:30:14,549 --> 00:30:12,240 transform idea 919 00:30:16,549 --> 00:30:14,559 the examples i use in the paper are 920 00:30:18,470 --> 00:30:16,559 tying it into basic systems with spin 921 00:30:19,669 --> 00:30:18,480 and with the simple harmonic oscillator 922 00:30:20,950 --> 00:30:19,679 of the quantum harmonic oscillator 923 00:30:22,870 --> 00:30:20,960 because those are some basic examples 924 00:30:24,310 --> 00:30:22,880 that are foundational i do touch on the 925 00:30:26,070 --> 00:30:24,320 hydrogen atom i don't work it out 926 00:30:27,750 --> 00:30:26,080 explicitly but what you would do instead 927 00:30:29,750 --> 00:30:27,760 of using the fourier transform you use 928 00:30:31,190 --> 00:30:29,760 the spherical harmonic transform because 929 00:30:33,430 --> 00:30:31,200 what you're dealing with the basis 930 00:30:35,909 --> 00:30:33,440 states are spherical harmonics as we 931 00:30:37,430 --> 00:30:35,919 well know for for hydrogen atom so 932 00:30:39,350 --> 00:30:37,440 that's what's so beautiful the the 933 00:30:41,510 --> 00:30:39,360 mathematics that we see in the periodic 934 00:30:44,149 --> 00:30:41,520 table from the hydrogen atom uh the the 935 00:30:45,750 --> 00:30:44,159 states of energy is exactly the clue for 936 00:30:46,950 --> 00:30:45,760 what basis state we're working with and 937 00:30:49,430 --> 00:30:46,960 that's the transform that we're using 938 00:30:50,630 --> 00:30:49,440 here so i haven't done that but i i feel 939 00:30:52,310 --> 00:30:50,640 pretty um 940 00:30:54,070 --> 00:30:52,320 optimistic that that's that's one of the 941 00:30:56,389 --> 00:30:54,080 clues that led me on here but you'd use 942 00:30:58,470 --> 00:30:56,399 a different transform for that 943 00:31:00,710 --> 00:30:58,480 so and one one other point you do is 944 00:31:02,630 --> 00:31:00,720 that the potential which is the 945 00:31:04,630 --> 00:31:02,640 essentially a filter that you apply in 946 00:31:06,070 --> 00:31:04,640 the spacetime domain that's the way the 947 00:31:08,070 --> 00:31:06,080 potential comes up that would be the 948 00:31:09,990 --> 00:31:08,080 coulomb potential for the hydrogen atom 949 00:31:11,269 --> 00:31:10,000 and that's that's why you need those 950 00:31:12,630 --> 00:31:11,279 spherical harmonic transforms because 951 00:31:15,350 --> 00:31:12,640 that's a coulomb potential is in a 952 00:31:16,950 --> 00:31:15,360 radial um coordinate system 953 00:31:18,630 --> 00:31:16,960 and then you work out the same 954 00:31:22,310 --> 00:31:18,640 mathematics where the phases have to 955 00:31:24,070 --> 00:31:22,320 vanish and then you you get the 956 00:31:24,950 --> 00:31:24,080 supposedly theoretically you would get 957 00:31:30,389 --> 00:31:24,960 the 958 00:31:34,630 --> 00:31:31,590 interesting stuff 959 00:31:37,269 --> 00:31:34,640 so um there's another comment uh slash 960 00:31:39,669 --> 00:31:37,279 question uh regarding a part of your 961 00:31:42,710 --> 00:31:39,679 presentation that reminds uh of barriers 962 00:31:46,230 --> 00:31:42,720 lagrangians approaches and also 963 00:31:48,710 --> 00:31:46,240 kohin or kohen and elite as well sort of 964 00:31:50,630 --> 00:31:48,720 a mashup of those theories uh 965 00:31:53,430 --> 00:31:50,640 can you elabor can you comment on that 966 00:31:57,750 --> 00:31:55,990 yeah um so very much lagrangian 967 00:31:59,750 --> 00:31:57,760 lagrangian is a 968 00:32:01,430 --> 00:31:59,760 timeless representation 969 00:32:04,070 --> 00:32:01,440 sort of a timeless theory because you're 970 00:32:05,830 --> 00:32:04,080 dealing with the whole path 971 00:32:07,029 --> 00:32:05,840 and then calculating what's the action 972 00:32:08,470 --> 00:32:07,039 associated with that path and then 973 00:32:10,389 --> 00:32:08,480 calculating the action associated with a 974 00:32:12,149 --> 00:32:10,399 different path one of the main 975 00:32:14,789 --> 00:32:12,159 calculations i do in the paper which is 976 00:32:17,029 --> 00:32:14,799 not original is showing that 977 00:32:18,549 --> 00:32:17,039 you know how you essentially get 978 00:32:20,870 --> 00:32:18,559 from 979 00:32:22,230 --> 00:32:20,880 the path integral formulation which is 980 00:32:24,149 --> 00:32:22,240 generally formulated in terms of the 981 00:32:26,549 --> 00:32:24,159 lagrangian exponential 982 00:32:28,710 --> 00:32:26,559 and the action minimizing the action how 983 00:32:31,750 --> 00:32:28,720 you get from that to essentially a 984 00:32:33,669 --> 00:32:31,760 recursive fourier transform so when you 985 00:32:35,029 --> 00:32:33,679 time slice 986 00:32:36,950 --> 00:32:35,039 in the lagrangian formulation you don't 987 00:32:38,310 --> 00:32:36,960 time slice you look at the whole path 988 00:32:39,909 --> 00:32:38,320 and all these different possible paths 989 00:32:41,269 --> 00:32:39,919 you weigh them according to the action 990 00:32:43,430 --> 00:32:41,279 and then you find your what's your 991 00:32:45,269 --> 00:32:43,440 classical path or whatever 992 00:32:46,789 --> 00:32:45,279 but if you time slice that what you're 993 00:32:49,190 --> 00:32:46,799 doing is essentially observing the 994 00:32:51,909 --> 00:32:49,200 system at every time you're enforcing an 995 00:32:54,549 --> 00:32:51,919 order in time by by that mathematical 996 00:32:56,710 --> 00:32:54,559 structure and what that does is it takes 997 00:32:59,509 --> 00:32:56,720 the path integral and you it turns it 998 00:33:01,029 --> 00:32:59,519 into a inverse forward inverse forward 999 00:33:03,190 --> 00:33:01,039 inverse forward inverse fourier 1000 00:33:04,710 --> 00:33:03,200 transform so this recursiveness of the 1001 00:33:06,070 --> 00:33:04,720 fourier transform 1002 00:33:07,990 --> 00:33:06,080 is what works 1003 00:33:09,750 --> 00:33:08,000 the experience we have of steady 1004 00:33:11,269 --> 00:33:09,760 progression of the present moment is 1005 00:33:12,789 --> 00:33:11,279 essentially this recursive fourier 1006 00:33:14,950 --> 00:33:12,799 transform back and forth between these 1007 00:33:16,630 --> 00:33:14,960 two domains the spatial domain and the 1008 00:33:17,830 --> 00:33:16,640 frequency domain 1009 00:33:19,590 --> 00:33:17,840 there's a lot to say there and that's 1010 00:33:21,830 --> 00:33:19,600 really the essence of the paper 1011 00:33:24,070 --> 00:33:21,840 uh so i appreciate the question and um 1012 00:33:25,509 --> 00:33:24,080 cohen and ellis are two of my role 1013 00:33:27,909 --> 00:33:25,519 models so i really appreciate the 1014 00:33:29,509 --> 00:33:27,919 comparison um i've referred to a lot of 1015 00:33:31,110 --> 00:33:29,519 their work in my paper and in my own 1016 00:33:34,789 --> 00:33:31,120 research um 1017 00:33:38,470 --> 00:33:36,789 and actually they have a specific paper 1018 00:33:40,470 --> 00:33:38,480 on um 1019 00:33:41,990 --> 00:33:40,480 whole top-down 1020 00:33:43,430 --> 00:33:42,000 hierarchies so that's something you can 1021 00:33:45,430 --> 00:33:43,440 check out but that's what i'm talking 1022 00:33:46,789 --> 00:33:45,440 about here is a holism or a top-down 1023 00:33:49,830 --> 00:33:46,799 hierarchy and they've done work on that 1024 00:33:54,149 --> 00:33:52,630 okay great so here's more of a 1025 00:33:57,509 --> 00:33:54,159 broad question 1026 00:34:01,269 --> 00:33:57,519 can can you expand on how free will 1027 00:34:05,590 --> 00:34:03,590 great question so let's think about that 1028 00:34:06,470 --> 00:34:05,600 so free will 1029 00:34:08,389 --> 00:34:06,480 i mean 1030 00:34:10,149 --> 00:34:08,399 yes what i'm discussing here with these 1031 00:34:11,430 --> 00:34:10,159 paths and the slip and slide is like you 1032 00:34:13,349 --> 00:34:11,440 don't have free will right you're on 1033 00:34:14,629 --> 00:34:13,359 this path and you're sliding down the 1034 00:34:16,629 --> 00:34:14,639 slip and slide and you can't get off 1035 00:34:17,909 --> 00:34:16,639 until you get to the end 1036 00:34:19,829 --> 00:34:17,919 so when we're talking about light 1037 00:34:22,869 --> 00:34:19,839 traveling from sun to earth that's a 1038 00:34:25,109 --> 00:34:22,879 great description because the light is 1039 00:34:26,069 --> 00:34:25,119 a single trajectory from the sun to my 1040 00:34:28,550 --> 00:34:26,079 eyes 1041 00:34:29,990 --> 00:34:28,560 if it hits a piece of dust and bounces 1042 00:34:33,349 --> 00:34:30,000 in a different direction or hits a 1043 00:34:35,349 --> 00:34:33,359 satellite instead then 1044 00:34:36,710 --> 00:34:35,359 a different map is associated with that 1045 00:34:38,149 --> 00:34:36,720 trajectory a different branch of the 1046 00:34:41,109 --> 00:34:38,159 multiverse and we can't know until it 1047 00:34:42,310 --> 00:34:41,119 happens which branch we're on 1048 00:34:43,990 --> 00:34:42,320 and there's free will to put the 1049 00:34:45,909 --> 00:34:44,000 satellite in place or not or i have the 1050 00:34:46,869 --> 00:34:45,919 free will to move my head or not 1051 00:34:51,270 --> 00:34:46,879 so 1052 00:34:53,349 --> 00:34:51,280 would say there's there's free will to 1053 00:34:55,109 --> 00:34:53,359 choose between the branches of this 1054 00:34:56,149 --> 00:34:55,119 multiverse 1055 00:34:57,430 --> 00:34:56,159 and 1056 00:34:59,190 --> 00:34:57,440 those 1057 00:35:01,030 --> 00:34:59,200 and the way i see this unfolding at a 1058 00:35:03,910 --> 00:35:01,040 broader level regarding synchronicity is 1059 00:35:04,870 --> 00:35:03,920 that we reach specific choice points in 1060 00:35:07,430 --> 00:35:04,880 our 1061 00:35:08,870 --> 00:35:07,440 macroscopic life that lead us somewhere 1062 00:35:11,910 --> 00:35:08,880 and we're not completely constrained but 1063 00:35:13,829 --> 00:35:11,920 we're partially constrained so if i um 1064 00:35:16,710 --> 00:35:13,839 you know if i apply for 1065 00:35:18,230 --> 00:35:16,720 school and i enroll in school now i'm on 1066 00:35:19,750 --> 00:35:18,240 that trajectory and this is sort of a 1067 00:35:21,670 --> 00:35:19,760 metaphor for what we're talking about 1068 00:35:23,030 --> 00:35:21,680 you have free will to make that choice 1069 00:35:24,230 --> 00:35:23,040 to apply to school and go to school but 1070 00:35:26,150 --> 00:35:24,240 then once you're on the trajectory 1071 00:35:28,230 --> 00:35:26,160 you're sort of on it for four years 1072 00:35:29,510 --> 00:35:28,240 and that's it's not exactly the same as 1073 00:35:31,349 --> 00:35:29,520 the light leaving the sun and going to 1074 00:35:33,430 --> 00:35:31,359 earth but it's a metaphor for how free 1075 00:35:34,950 --> 00:35:33,440 will we do have free will and yet 1076 00:35:37,589 --> 00:35:34,960 there's a sense in which we are 1077 00:35:39,270 --> 00:35:37,599 constrained to paths and there's there's 1078 00:35:42,310 --> 00:35:39,280 there's kairos moments that are more 1079 00:35:44,630 --> 00:35:42,320 opportune for change 1080 00:35:45,750 --> 00:35:44,640 okay thank you very much for the answer 1081 00:35:48,310 --> 00:35:45,760 um 1082 00:35:50,470 --> 00:35:48,320 for a test of this theory is there a way 1083 00:35:53,990 --> 00:35:50,480 to falsify it have you thought of an 1084 00:35:55,510 --> 00:35:54,000 experiment or of any way to test it 1085 00:35:57,589 --> 00:35:55,520 yeah so i refer to a number of 1086 00:35:59,589 --> 00:35:57,599 experiments that have already been done 1087 00:36:01,589 --> 00:35:59,599 we we keep getting data that reinforces 1088 00:36:03,270 --> 00:36:01,599 the relational model of quantum 1089 00:36:05,349 --> 00:36:03,280 mechanics which is essentially if you're 1090 00:36:07,109 --> 00:36:05,359 familiar with vigner's friend experiment 1091 00:36:08,950 --> 00:36:07,119 a thought experiment vigner suggested 1092 00:36:10,870 --> 00:36:08,960 that you know if he goes into a 1093 00:36:13,109 --> 00:36:10,880 room and measures an electron in this in 1094 00:36:14,710 --> 00:36:13,119 a spin state he'll get a result and then 1095 00:36:16,950 --> 00:36:14,720 his friend comes into the room and what 1096 00:36:18,390 --> 00:36:16,960 will she measure well she'll also be 1097 00:36:19,670 --> 00:36:18,400 able to measure the electron but will 1098 00:36:21,910 --> 00:36:19,680 she measure something that's already 1099 00:36:24,390 --> 00:36:21,920 determined or will she be interacting 1100 00:36:26,790 --> 00:36:24,400 with a superposition state for vigner 1101 00:36:28,230 --> 00:36:26,800 and the electron in other words is the 1102 00:36:30,069 --> 00:36:28,240 is the each measurement just a 1103 00:36:32,069 --> 00:36:30,079 correlation or is it some objective 1104 00:36:33,829 --> 00:36:32,079 statement about the facts of the world 1105 00:36:36,030 --> 00:36:33,839 and there's there's an experiment by 1106 00:36:37,589 --> 00:36:36,040 priority at all 1107 00:36:38,390 --> 00:36:37,599 p-r-o-i-e-t-t-i 1108 00:36:40,790 --> 00:36:38,400 that 1109 00:36:42,230 --> 00:36:40,800 has tested the vigorous friend formalism 1110 00:36:45,109 --> 00:36:42,240 and i don't think anybody expected it to 1111 00:36:47,190 --> 00:36:45,119 fail but it was successful and it it 1112 00:36:48,550 --> 00:36:47,200 supports i wouldn't say it proves but 1113 00:36:51,109 --> 00:36:48,560 it's very consistent with the notion of 1114 00:36:53,190 --> 00:36:51,119 relationality so all of my suggestions 1115 00:36:56,069 --> 00:36:53,200 have to do with relationality my theory 1116 00:36:57,990 --> 00:36:56,079 is fully committed to relationality and 1117 00:36:59,829 --> 00:36:58,000 that is testable according to vigner's 1118 00:37:02,310 --> 00:36:59,839 friend and some other ways of looking at 1119 00:37:05,510 --> 00:37:02,320 it the other um paper i would refer to 1120 00:37:08,710 --> 00:37:05,520 is frautriger and renner who put a paper 1121 00:37:10,790 --> 00:37:08,720 called quantum mechanics is inconsistent 1122 00:37:12,470 --> 00:37:10,800 with itself or something like that and 1123 00:37:14,230 --> 00:37:12,480 it just shows theoretically that there 1124 00:37:15,589 --> 00:37:14,240 are some cases where you have to drop 1125 00:37:17,589 --> 00:37:15,599 one of the assumptions we make about 1126 00:37:19,270 --> 00:37:17,599 space and time one of those assumptions 1127 00:37:20,710 --> 00:37:19,280 that i think is the best one to drop is 1128 00:37:22,390 --> 00:37:20,720 that there's an objective set of facts 1129 00:37:23,910 --> 00:37:22,400 about the world for everybody 1130 00:37:25,829 --> 00:37:23,920 so that points to relationality once 1131 00:37:28,470 --> 00:37:25,839 again 1132 00:37:29,990 --> 00:37:28,480 okay super interesting so um 1133 00:37:31,750 --> 00:37:30,000 here's another question does this have 1134 00:37:33,829 --> 00:37:31,760 the same quality as the block universe 1135 00:37:35,910 --> 00:37:33,839 where everything that ever happened or 1136 00:37:37,990 --> 00:37:35,920 will happen is part of a single holiest 1137 00:37:40,069 --> 00:37:38,000 map that simply exists how does it 1138 00:37:41,990 --> 00:37:40,079 relate to the branches of the multiverse 1139 00:37:43,589 --> 00:37:42,000 yeah it's the same what's specifically 1140 00:37:45,270 --> 00:37:43,599 about the block universe that needs to 1141 00:37:46,710 --> 00:37:45,280 be pointed out here is that the block 1142 00:37:48,950 --> 00:37:46,720 universe in special relativity is 1143 00:37:50,470 --> 00:37:48,960 usually thought of as a space-time block 1144 00:37:52,310 --> 00:37:50,480 universe where you've got 1145 00:37:53,829 --> 00:37:52,320 a trajectory like a block is like a 1146 00:37:55,109 --> 00:37:53,839 piece of ice and the cracks in the ice 1147 00:37:57,750 --> 00:37:55,119 are the trajectories of the of the 1148 00:37:59,750 --> 00:37:57,760 particles in space and time that does 1149 00:38:01,990 --> 00:37:59,760 not hold up here what holds up is a 1150 00:38:04,230 --> 00:38:02,000 frequency domain version of that 1151 00:38:06,950 --> 00:38:04,240 so the block is the frequency domain 1152 00:38:08,310 --> 00:38:06,960 holographic pattern that encodes the 1153 00:38:10,310 --> 00:38:08,320 motions but does not resemble the 1154 00:38:12,390 --> 00:38:10,320 motions i think that's a useful way to 1155 00:38:13,990 --> 00:38:12,400 put it it encodes the motions and it 1156 00:38:15,910 --> 00:38:14,000 does it doesn't change that block 1157 00:38:18,150 --> 00:38:15,920 universe in frequency domain is 1158 00:38:21,190 --> 00:38:18,160 unchanging and it encodes a single 1159 00:38:25,190 --> 00:38:21,200 branch of that tree of that multiverse 1160 00:38:28,550 --> 00:38:27,030 that is the block universe it doesn't 1161 00:38:30,069 --> 00:38:28,560 correspond to 1162 00:38:34,150 --> 00:38:30,079 a single 1163 00:38:35,750 --> 00:38:34,160 block universe in space and time um 1164 00:38:37,030 --> 00:38:35,760 but i think that that's clear and it's 1165 00:38:39,109 --> 00:38:37,040 one of the points i make in the paper is 1166 00:38:41,910 --> 00:38:39,119 that it's the frequency domain that is 1167 00:38:44,550 --> 00:38:41,920 has this frozen of frozen nature to it 1168 00:38:46,390 --> 00:38:44,560 that encodes actual dynamics space-time 1169 00:38:52,230 --> 00:38:46,400 dynamic dynamics in it 1170 00:38:57,670 --> 00:38:54,470 okay uh and what happened to the roads 1171 00:38:58,950 --> 00:38:57,680 not taken in this formulation 1172 00:39:00,710 --> 00:38:58,960 well that's a great question that comes 1173 00:39:04,390 --> 00:39:00,720 down to relationality that's one of the 1174 00:39:06,870 --> 00:39:04,400 big questions of a relational universe 1175 00:39:07,829 --> 00:39:06,880 when you talk about a physical 1176 00:39:09,750 --> 00:39:07,839 world 1177 00:39:11,510 --> 00:39:09,760 in the relational universe 1178 00:39:13,430 --> 00:39:11,520 you're talking about you're always 1179 00:39:16,069 --> 00:39:13,440 taking a perspective 1180 00:39:18,710 --> 00:39:16,079 so as i said one of the conclusions from 1181 00:39:21,109 --> 00:39:18,720 this formalism is that only events 1182 00:39:25,589 --> 00:39:21,119 are real are physical 1183 00:39:28,790 --> 00:39:26,870 only 1184 00:39:30,230 --> 00:39:28,800 so if no if no one is around to observe 1185 00:39:31,990 --> 00:39:30,240 an event then you describe the event 1186 00:39:33,109 --> 00:39:32,000 from the perspective of the one electron 1187 00:39:34,630 --> 00:39:33,119 hitting another electron that's 1188 00:39:38,069 --> 00:39:34,640 perfectly legitimate 1189 00:39:39,910 --> 00:39:38,079 and that event is a physical reality 1190 00:39:41,750 --> 00:39:39,920 but there's some way in which 1191 00:39:42,870 --> 00:39:41,760 it has to you have to take a perspective 1192 00:39:44,310 --> 00:39:42,880 so you take the perspective of that 1193 00:39:45,910 --> 00:39:44,320 electron and describe the interaction 1194 00:39:47,990 --> 00:39:45,920 from that perspective or you take the 1195 00:39:48,710 --> 00:39:48,000 perspective of a detector 1196 00:39:50,310 --> 00:39:48,720 and 1197 00:39:52,150 --> 00:39:50,320 describe the interaction from the 1198 00:39:54,150 --> 00:39:52,160 perspective of that detector the 1199 00:39:55,589 --> 00:39:54,160 branches not taken 1200 00:39:58,069 --> 00:39:55,599 are still 1201 00:40:00,390 --> 00:39:58,079 just as just as mathematically 1202 00:40:02,390 --> 00:40:00,400 present or real as they ever were and 1203 00:40:04,630 --> 00:40:02,400 all of that is accessible 1204 00:40:06,550 --> 00:40:04,640 not accessible necessarily to me in my 1205 00:40:07,829 --> 00:40:06,560 lifetime i don't actually think 1206 00:40:09,510 --> 00:40:07,839 and i'm sure there's others here that 1207 00:40:10,870 --> 00:40:09,520 might have shown differently or believe 1208 00:40:13,109 --> 00:40:10,880 experience have different thoughts about 1209 00:40:15,109 --> 00:40:13,119 this i don't look for ways to travel 1210 00:40:16,390 --> 00:40:15,119 back in time i look for ways to 1211 00:40:18,390 --> 00:40:16,400 understand 1212 00:40:19,670 --> 00:40:18,400 time differently that includes the past 1213 00:40:21,910 --> 00:40:19,680 kind of like the 1214 00:40:23,510 --> 00:40:21,920 the dreaming of the aboriginals that i 1215 00:40:25,270 --> 00:40:23,520 don't think we need to physically move 1216 00:40:27,589 --> 00:40:25,280 to the past or future 1217 00:40:28,790 --> 00:40:27,599 but that all of that is still in the 1218 00:40:29,910 --> 00:40:28,800 fourier domain 1219 00:40:31,589 --> 00:40:29,920 it's it's 1220 00:40:33,190 --> 00:40:31,599 omnipresent right 1221 00:40:35,510 --> 00:40:33,200 when i transform into the frequency 1222 00:40:38,069 --> 00:40:35,520 domain the fourier domain i don't go 1223 00:40:39,750 --> 00:40:38,079 somewhere it's it's all right here and 1224 00:40:41,030 --> 00:40:39,760 so all of the all that information of 1225 00:40:43,589 --> 00:40:41,040 all the branches of throughout all of 1226 00:40:45,750 --> 00:40:43,599 history is all right here 1227 00:40:47,670 --> 00:40:45,760 and so it does point to some sense in 1228 00:40:49,190 --> 00:40:47,680 which there's a non-locality in space 1229 00:40:51,349 --> 00:40:49,200 and time that's very much just 1230 00:40:53,510 --> 00:40:51,359 associated with the fourier the the one 1231 00:40:54,950 --> 00:40:53,520 to all nature of the fourier transform 1232 00:40:57,510 --> 00:40:54,960 and i don't think it means we can space 1233 00:40:59,430 --> 00:40:57,520 time travel back in time but we can 1234 00:41:01,670 --> 00:40:59,440 access that information so whether it's 1235 00:41:02,470 --> 00:41:01,680 the akashic records or or any other of 1236 00:41:04,550 --> 00:41:02,480 the 1237 00:41:07,109 --> 00:41:04,560 things that would benefit from this this 1238 00:41:09,109 --> 00:41:07,119 model i think it's consistent 1239 00:41:11,430 --> 00:41:09,119 and those again coming back to 1240 00:41:13,270 --> 00:41:11,440 relational observation 1241 00:41:14,630 --> 00:41:13,280 there's a sense in which everything 1242 00:41:16,790 --> 00:41:14,640 physical is described from the 1243 00:41:18,470 --> 00:41:16,800 perspective of an observer there's no 1244 00:41:20,390 --> 00:41:18,480 such thing as the physical world without 1245 00:41:22,710 --> 00:41:20,400 an observer that's a postulate or a 1246 00:41:24,150 --> 00:41:22,720 proposal that comes with relationality 1247 00:41:26,309 --> 00:41:24,160 and so the branches of the wave function 1248 00:41:27,910 --> 00:41:26,319 that i didn't choose 1249 00:41:30,550 --> 00:41:27,920 there's no physical reality to them 1250 00:41:31,829 --> 00:41:30,560 because i'm the observer and i'm not on 1251 00:41:33,510 --> 00:41:31,839 those branches 1252 00:41:35,270 --> 00:41:33,520 so i think it gets rid of the 1253 00:41:37,270 --> 00:41:35,280 extravagant notion of there's multiple 1254 00:41:38,950 --> 00:41:37,280 versions of me out there 1255 00:41:40,069 --> 00:41:38,960 that doesn't really have any kind of 1256 00:41:43,589 --> 00:41:40,079 meaningful 1257 00:41:47,109 --> 00:41:45,030 yeah of course 1258 00:41:49,190 --> 00:41:47,119 at least not for you as the observer per 1259 00:41:50,950 --> 00:41:49,200 se right 1260 00:41:53,589 --> 00:41:50,960 there's another question here well 1261 00:41:54,870 --> 00:41:53,599 there's a lot actually but um what is 1262 00:41:56,710 --> 00:41:54,880 your view on 1263 00:41:59,190 --> 00:41:56,720 of super deterministic models which 1264 00:42:03,589 --> 00:41:59,200 seems to combine localism plus some kind 1265 00:42:06,550 --> 00:42:05,270 that's interesting i'm not sure i'm 1266 00:42:07,910 --> 00:42:06,560 going to be able to answer that fully in 1267 00:42:10,309 --> 00:42:07,920 a technical way 1268 00:42:13,990 --> 00:42:11,829 i'd like to know more about the what the 1269 00:42:17,030 --> 00:42:14,000 speaker is is because they i don't know 1270 00:42:19,270 --> 00:42:17,040 as much as they do about the subject 1271 00:42:20,230 --> 00:42:19,280 okay so super deterministic means that 1272 00:42:21,670 --> 00:42:20,240 there's 1273 00:42:23,750 --> 00:42:21,680 i think that it's over determined in 1274 00:42:25,510 --> 00:42:23,760 some way that and so it has to do with 1275 00:42:27,109 --> 00:42:25,520 free will but i'm not actually not sure 1276 00:42:29,190 --> 00:42:27,119 i'd love to know more 1277 00:42:31,349 --> 00:42:29,200 oh that may 1278 00:42:33,109 --> 00:42:31,359 wait for the for the next uh emerging 1279 00:42:34,230 --> 00:42:33,119 event that we have after the session 1280 00:42:35,190 --> 00:42:34,240 have ended 1281 00:42:36,790 --> 00:42:35,200 um 1282 00:42:39,030 --> 00:42:36,800 does this relate to the demonstration of 1283 00:42:41,589 --> 00:42:39,040 the observer effect of the wave particle 1284 00:42:41,599 --> 00:42:47,190 yeah let me think about how 1285 00:42:50,950 --> 00:42:49,510 so one of the basic examples i use in 1286 00:42:53,829 --> 00:42:50,960 the paper which is really simple 1287 00:42:55,829 --> 00:42:53,839 mathematically is a detector 1288 00:42:58,470 --> 00:42:55,839 and a sine wave 1289 00:43:00,069 --> 00:42:58,480 you're detecting a sine wave and the 1290 00:43:01,990 --> 00:43:00,079 sine wave is you know got its 1291 00:43:04,230 --> 00:43:02,000 mathematical form which is actually the 1292 00:43:05,430 --> 00:43:04,240 fourier transform mathematically of the 1293 00:43:07,190 --> 00:43:05,440 detector's 1294 00:43:08,870 --> 00:43:07,200 waveform the detector i just call a 1295 00:43:10,390 --> 00:43:08,880 delta function and for those of you who 1296 00:43:12,390 --> 00:43:10,400 are familiar the delta function is just 1297 00:43:15,430 --> 00:43:12,400 a totally localized function 1298 00:43:16,790 --> 00:43:15,440 just a one point and so if you if this 1299 00:43:19,190 --> 00:43:16,800 if you interact a delta function with a 1300 00:43:20,470 --> 00:43:19,200 sine wave you identify where that sine 1301 00:43:22,069 --> 00:43:20,480 wave is 1302 00:43:23,990 --> 00:43:22,079 and so that's really the function of a 1303 00:43:25,349 --> 00:43:24,000 detector 1304 00:43:27,270 --> 00:43:25,359 so can you read the question again so i 1305 00:43:29,589 --> 00:43:27,280 make sure i answer it 1306 00:43:32,150 --> 00:43:29,599 sure so uh if this relates to the 1307 00:43:34,309 --> 00:43:32,160 demonstration of the observer effect or 1308 00:43:37,190 --> 00:43:34,319 wave particle duality of light yeah so 1309 00:43:38,309 --> 00:43:37,200 i'm using that example to show that 1310 00:43:39,750 --> 00:43:38,319 um 1311 00:43:42,230 --> 00:43:39,760 you know 1312 00:43:44,870 --> 00:43:42,240 when when you 1313 00:43:47,510 --> 00:43:44,880 it's it's uh with a wave the whole 1314 00:43:49,190 --> 00:43:47,520 frequency domain is waves right and and 1315 00:43:51,589 --> 00:43:49,200 the description that we get of the wave 1316 00:43:55,589 --> 00:43:51,599 function the waveform out of that is a 1317 00:43:56,950 --> 00:43:55,599 distribution in in 1318 00:43:58,790 --> 00:43:56,960 it's a wavy distribution in the 1319 00:44:00,309 --> 00:43:58,800 frequency domain it's also corresponds 1320 00:44:01,510 --> 00:44:00,319 to a wavy distribution in the space-time 1321 00:44:03,589 --> 00:44:01,520 domain 1322 00:44:05,430 --> 00:44:03,599 when we talk about the wave function and 1323 00:44:07,109 --> 00:44:05,440 the wave particle duality we're talking 1324 00:44:10,470 --> 00:44:07,119 about the difference between wave 1325 00:44:12,309 --> 00:44:10,480 propagation and detection so a quantum 1326 00:44:13,349 --> 00:44:12,319 system essentially propagates like a 1327 00:44:16,870 --> 00:44:13,359 wave 1328 00:44:18,630 --> 00:44:16,880 and is observed like a particle 1329 00:44:19,990 --> 00:44:18,640 and so when i do these calculations that 1330 00:44:21,829 --> 00:44:20,000 are basically saying you're interacting 1331 00:44:24,790 --> 00:44:21,839 a waveform with the detector that 1332 00:44:28,150 --> 00:44:24,800 localizes it i'm basically saying the 1333 00:44:30,309 --> 00:44:28,160 the method of observation is a fourier 1334 00:44:32,150 --> 00:44:30,319 and inverse fourier transform pair 1335 00:44:34,710 --> 00:44:32,160 that's what observation is 1336 00:44:37,349 --> 00:44:34,720 and so it is absolutely a restatement of 1337 00:44:38,870 --> 00:44:37,359 the observer effect and 1338 00:44:40,790 --> 00:44:38,880 you know if you if you understand 1339 00:44:42,230 --> 00:44:40,800 fourier transforms you know that that is 1340 00:44:43,910 --> 00:44:42,240 exactly where 1341 00:44:44,790 --> 00:44:43,920 heisenberg got the uncertainty principle 1342 00:44:46,150 --> 00:44:44,800 from 1343 00:44:47,910 --> 00:44:46,160 because in the in the kernel of the 1344 00:44:49,349 --> 00:44:47,920 fourier transform is momentum times 1345 00:44:50,630 --> 00:44:49,359 energy and they have to have a certain 1346 00:44:51,990 --> 00:44:50,640 minimal value 1347 00:44:54,390 --> 00:44:52,000 and that's where that's why we can't 1348 00:44:55,990 --> 00:44:54,400 have a completely localized position and 1349 00:44:57,829 --> 00:44:56,000 a completely localized momentum because 1350 00:45:00,710 --> 00:44:57,839 of the fourier transform so i'm saying 1351 00:45:02,230 --> 00:45:00,720 that that comes because observation is 1352 00:45:05,589 --> 00:45:02,240 a fourier and an inverse fourier 1353 00:45:06,470 --> 00:45:05,599 transform pair by definition 1354 00:45:08,710 --> 00:45:06,480 okay 1355 00:45:10,550 --> 00:45:08,720 super interesting too um what's the 1356 00:45:12,470 --> 00:45:10,560 perspective or your perspective of the 1357 00:45:14,630 --> 00:45:12,480 photon on the way from the sun to the 1358 00:45:16,710 --> 00:45:14,640 earth during its journey does it know 1359 00:45:19,109 --> 00:45:16,720 the final outcome or leaving all 1360 00:45:21,589 --> 00:45:19,119 possible outcomes until you arrived and 1361 00:45:23,349 --> 00:45:21,599 is or not seen 1362 00:45:25,270 --> 00:45:23,359 right that's a great question it's sort 1363 00:45:27,589 --> 00:45:25,280 of slightly um 1364 00:45:29,750 --> 00:45:27,599 not formulated in an answerable way 1365 00:45:30,870 --> 00:45:29,760 because the questioner has said it 1366 00:45:33,030 --> 00:45:30,880 really well but what they're saying is 1367 00:45:35,270 --> 00:45:33,040 that they're ascribing a reality to the 1368 00:45:37,109 --> 00:45:35,280 photons journey at every point 1369 00:45:38,390 --> 00:45:37,119 unless you're the photon you can't do 1370 00:45:39,990 --> 00:45:38,400 that 1371 00:45:41,750 --> 00:45:40,000 because the path is described as a whole 1372 00:45:43,349 --> 00:45:41,760 and there's no reality to the nature of 1373 00:45:45,510 --> 00:45:43,359 things between observations or between 1374 00:45:47,190 --> 00:45:45,520 events between interactions 1375 00:45:49,030 --> 00:45:47,200 so that's part of the nature of the 1376 00:45:51,109 --> 00:45:49,040 wholeness of the path we have to think 1377 00:45:52,150 --> 00:45:51,119 about anything that we're observing 1378 00:45:55,349 --> 00:45:52,160 existing 1379 00:45:56,790 --> 00:45:55,359 until we observe it 1380 00:45:59,829 --> 00:45:56,800 and this is what i call 1381 00:46:01,670 --> 00:45:59,839 retroactive determination 1382 00:46:03,190 --> 00:46:01,680 whether it's a photon or a satellite or 1383 00:46:04,790 --> 00:46:03,200 the moon in einstein's case you're 1384 00:46:06,470 --> 00:46:04,800 talking about does the moon really exist 1385 00:46:07,270 --> 00:46:06,480 if i'm not there to see it 1386 00:46:10,630 --> 00:46:07,280 um 1387 00:46:12,790 --> 00:46:10,640 what's happening in this theory is that 1388 00:46:14,870 --> 00:46:12,800 the anything that happens to the moon is 1389 00:46:17,109 --> 00:46:14,880 you're not observing it a set a meteor 1390 00:46:18,790 --> 00:46:17,119 crashes on it all of that is is 1391 00:46:19,990 --> 00:46:18,800 unobserved reality that is a 1392 00:46:21,829 --> 00:46:20,000 superposition this is where 1393 00:46:23,670 --> 00:46:21,839 superposition comes in because the path 1394 00:46:25,829 --> 00:46:23,680 or the reality as a whole 1395 00:46:28,069 --> 00:46:25,839 exists in a whole timeline until you 1396 00:46:29,829 --> 00:46:28,079 observe it then it's open to collapse a 1397 00:46:31,430 --> 00:46:29,839 different way or one way or the other 1398 00:46:33,589 --> 00:46:31,440 when you finally do observe it so 1399 00:46:35,030 --> 00:46:33,599 histories in this sense are flexible the 1400 00:46:37,030 --> 00:46:35,040 history of the photon is flexible 1401 00:46:39,190 --> 00:46:37,040 depending on how you observe it 1402 00:46:41,190 --> 00:46:39,200 we can't describe a 1403 00:46:45,510 --> 00:46:41,200 reality to the photon 1404 00:46:49,190 --> 00:46:47,589 okay so thank you very much sky i will 1405 00:46:50,870 --> 00:46:49,200 probably just end with one additional 1406 00:46:53,829 --> 00:46:50,880 question and then we can close this 1407 00:46:55,829 --> 00:46:53,839 amazing presentation with q a so 1408 00:46:58,470 --> 00:46:55,839 in few words if you can what would you 1409 00:47:01,510 --> 00:46:58,480 define as the observer 1410 00:47:03,829 --> 00:47:01,520 that's a great question um 1411 00:47:04,710 --> 00:47:03,839 well in relationality 1412 00:47:11,670 --> 00:47:04,720 you 1413 00:47:14,470 --> 00:47:11,680 any kind of physical 1414 00:47:17,829 --> 00:47:14,480 a description of the system 1415 00:47:20,230 --> 00:47:17,839 so physicalness depends on 1416 00:47:22,470 --> 00:47:20,240 picking an observer to be 1417 00:47:24,710 --> 00:47:22,480 so without the observer 1418 00:47:27,510 --> 00:47:24,720 i think of it in these two words you can 1419 00:47:28,549 --> 00:47:27,520 either have an objective indefinite 1420 00:47:30,470 --> 00:47:28,559 world 1421 00:47:32,470 --> 00:47:30,480 the multiverse is objective it's like 1422 00:47:34,470 --> 00:47:32,480 the whole reality right the whole cosmos 1423 00:47:35,829 --> 00:47:34,480 but it's not definite nobody's there 1424 00:47:38,150 --> 00:47:35,839 observing it it's a whole bunch of 1425 00:47:40,710 --> 00:47:38,160 branches and that's sort of you know the 1426 00:47:42,630 --> 00:47:40,720 god's view is all the possibilities but 1427 00:47:44,150 --> 00:47:42,640 that's an objective indefinite world if 1428 00:47:46,549 --> 00:47:44,160 you want to have a definite world it's 1429 00:47:47,430 --> 00:47:46,559 by definition subjective 1430 00:47:48,950 --> 00:47:47,440 so 1431 00:47:50,870 --> 00:47:48,960 that's where the observer comes in 1432 00:47:52,710 --> 00:47:50,880 there's no such thing as a combination 1433 00:47:55,109 --> 00:47:52,720 of those two that i would call objective 1434 00:47:57,190 --> 00:47:55,119 definite objective definite is forbidden 1435 00:48:01,349 --> 00:47:57,200 by this model 1436 00:48:05,990 --> 00:48:04,870 but uh we can continue further on but i 1437 00:48:08,630 --> 00:48:06,000 thank you very much skype for your 1438 00:48:10,230 --> 00:48:08,640 excellent presentation and i think uh 1439 00:48:11,910 --> 00:48:10,240 their program sure has some uh 1440 00:48:12,950 --> 00:48:11,920 announcements and other words that he 1441 00:48:15,030 --> 00:48:12,960 may want to 1442 00:48:16,069 --> 00:48:15,040 share with us yeah and we'll go on uh if 1443 00:48:17,670 --> 00:48:16,079 folks want to continue in this 1444 00:48:19,990 --> 00:48:17,680 conversation we'll talk more openly 1445 00:48:21,670 --> 00:48:20,000 about the idea of synchronicity and your 1446 00:48:25,349 --> 00:48:21,680 thoughts on it as well in the in the 1447 00:48:31,270 --> 00:48:28,309 so uh sky i have to congratulate you 1448 00:48:33,270 --> 00:48:31,280 this is a very ambitious 1449 00:48:34,470 --> 00:48:33,280 theory that you created here and i mean 1450 00:48:37,270 --> 00:48:34,480 you you 1451 00:48:39,349 --> 00:48:37,280 made me understand fourier transforms 1452 00:48:41,430 --> 00:48:39,359 and holograms in a way i never have 1453 00:48:43,589 --> 00:48:41,440 before it's really great to see that 1454 00:48:45,670 --> 00:48:43,599 you're able to express it simply enough 1455 00:48:47,349 --> 00:48:45,680 to get through to people like me 1456 00:48:49,670 --> 00:48:47,359 so i can make sense of it it was really 1457 00:48:51,910 --> 00:48:49,680 wonderful and and you know when you have 1458 00:48:54,710 --> 00:48:51,920 such an all-encompassing 1459 00:48:57,510 --> 00:48:54,720 theory that's this complete you're going 1460 00:48:59,190 --> 00:48:57,520 to get questions about everything under 1461 00:49:02,549 --> 00:48:59,200 the sun and more 1462 00:49:04,309 --> 00:49:02,559 behind the sun and everywhere yeah so um 1463 00:49:06,390 --> 00:49:04,319 so we could probably go on for quite a 1464 00:49:08,230 --> 00:49:06,400 while uh i just want to thank you this 1465 00:49:10,630 --> 00:49:08,240 is really interesting to see a 1466 00:49:12,630 --> 00:49:10,640 mathematical foundation for some of the
