Quantum Mechanics: Fabric of the Cosmos
"The Fabric of the Cosmos," a four-hour series based on the book by renowned physicist and author Brian Greene, takes us to the frontiers of physics to see how scientists are piecing together the most complete picture yet of space, time, and the universe. With each step, audiences will discover that just beneath the surface of our everyday experience lies a world we'd hardly recognize - a startling world far stranger and more wondrous than anyone expected.
Brian Greene is going to let you in on a secret: We've all been deceived. Our perceptions of time and space have led us astray. Much of what we thought we knew about our universe - that the past has already happened and the future is yet to be, that space is just an empty void, that our universe is the only universe that exists - just might be wrong.

The quantum universe is just as much an illusion as everything else. It is just another choice of something to believe in; something we use to create the illusion that we can know anything at all.
No one ever promised Reality must be sane, to assume so, in spite of all evidence to the contrary, is madness.
QuoteWhen we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained. -

Ya, these theories are conjured up just to explain the unexplainable. No two physicists agree on any of it.
Yeah dudes. Ultimately, a spade is still a spade
Sounds like Brian Green is saying that the Pope only shits in the woods if someone is there to observe it. Am I wrong? OK then. ;)
If a poop falls in the forest, will anybody hear?

That depends dude....is it a wave or a particle? 8)
Many particles I'm thinking. I've never watched my feces collapse... ;)

Damn....I suffer from IBS....I have collapsed many a wave function!!
and yes....it definitly makes a sound! ;D
Shit! Notice how this topic had collapsed down to bodily functions? 8)
Something we can all relate to I suppose.

nothing. People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction
between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion."

death, (March 1955) as quoted in Science and the Search for God Disturbing the
Universe (1979) by Freeman Dyson Ch. 17 "A Distant Mirror" ; also quoted at
Einstein's God (NPR)
That's, like, his opinion man..
New shit has come to light dudes.

Sure sounds like it doesn't it....8)
"Black cat?" Sounds to me like vagina. ;D
Green is a cool dude for sure, but holographic theories like string theories are a spaghetti mess and always have been since shortly after the discovery of super symmetry first established them. They're like the universe poking fun a physicists who refuse to give up the idea they can have a this really far out beautiful psychedelic theory that at least resembles relativity which Einstein described as a "beautiful jewel". Physicists really love all that mathematical perfection they sometimes describe as "elegant simplicity" which dates back to Plato who was so attached to beauty he used his influence to have all Democritus' books burned as "Ugly and demeaning" because he suggested everything could be random. Anyway, the problem with these is every time someone invents one experiments eventually show is really another theory seen from a different angle and the new theory is even more beautiful. To make matters worse, they just keep finding an astronomical number of possible theories! It's like the void laughing back at you for being too attached.
Quantum Darwinism and Quantum Chaos theories just got their first experimental confirmation though and look like more fun than a barrel full of monkeys!
