Quantum God?

Question

Quantum theory states that a particle can exist in one location in space and another, but not in between... Where does this matter go between locations?

The Heisenberg Uncertainty principal more or less states that you can USUALLY locate a particle in space, but there is no guarantee that it will be there.

String threory points to as many as 18 different dimensions...

In sub-atomic physics, you can impart motion on a particle based on the potential of your interacting with it...

This points to the possiblity that every decision we make - no matter how small, creates a different reality, so that there are litterally billions of alternate realities surrounding our existance. Our conscious mind chooses which of these time/space realities we should follow. Perhaps all of us live long and healthy lives, but along different reality paths.

Are we really a three dimensional space/time meat vehicle for a multidimensional being???

Answer 1

Now you're talking!

Check out the Kaballah (ancient Jewish mysticism), in particular the Sepher Yetzirah in the Aryeh Kaplan translation & commentary. You will find that the Kaballists were onto everything you are saying millenia ago... They were among Einstein's favourite reading... Similarly, find out about the Kaballists ideas of Upper Worlds, and the cosmic power of our actions here to transform the universe and help God's Plan...

Check out the Hermetica too and ask yourself why Ernest Rutherford, splitter of the atom, had Hermes Trismegistus on his coat of arms...

Have a look at the Rose Windows of Gothic architecture... investigate the sacred geometry of their design... Read Dionysius the Areopagite's description of the Hierarchies of Heaven, or Dante's description of Heaven and the Universe...

And as for the meat vehicle idea, check out a 3D image of a Hypercube and you'll see what I'm getting at... You will also find discussion of the Hypercube in the aforementioned Sefer Yetzirah commentary as an image of God in eternity and ourselves existing within God...

You will find that the ancient Mystics of all religions knew all this stuff long before science hobbled up to it on crutches...

Happy hunting! ;-)

Answer 2

No, Heisenberg's inequality is simply a mathematical consequence of Fourier integrals. In itself, it just means you can know the probability of finding a particle in a given interval.

I reject the usualy mathematical justification for infinite universe hypotheses. It's usually stated that it is more difficult to describe a single point on the interval [0,1] than to describe the entire interval, but I think that's wrong. Why not simply pick a point from the dense subset Q (rationals)? Representing those, or really any algebraic number, is fairly trivial, and even defining the interval itself requires choosing *two* distinct points (zero and one) whether the interval is open or closed.

I realize that choosing any random point in an interval nets a rational with probability zero (since Q intersected with the interval has measure 0), but what is the justification for picking a number at random, and why then must we represent its distance from the origin (for if we want we can just call the number "theta" or something rather than express it in decimals)? This attempt to justify multiple universes mathematically is really just a result of a chosen metric and number system arbitrarily applied. Not convincing.

Answer 3

1) No it doesn't.
2) No, the uncertainty principle merely states the obvious - that when something is moving you're not sure exactly where it is, and when you measure where it is exactly you don't know how fast it's moving.
3) String theory has yet to be tested.
4) No, that's completely untestable. Your mind does not affect reality. Quantum mechanics applies on the quantum level only. Things the size of atoms. Not you.

Answer 4

yes, just a walkin talkin meat car!

Here's a thought- in my studies of, among other writings, the Rig Vedas, we use to dialog the premise that within each of these individual realities each of us is indeed in the world of our own making. And that while I may experience myself sitting on a beach in California ( my preference) talking to you, you would actually be sitting in a cabin in Oregon (your preference). I would see you on the beach, and every word you spoke would support my belief that you were indeed there with me on the beach- and visa versa. The big picture being Akasha, and each person's little personal bit is Parusha - and we just think they are overlapping....so then are we really anywhere at all?
as for multidimensional, well, I can speak for 4. That is the number I have personally experienced simultaneously, consciousness, while meditation. It was alot to take in....lol

Answer 5

Yes, the body is three dimensional and our spirit is multidimensional. The mind is infinite, and there is no such thing as time so that means everything that has happened, is happening, and forever will be happening in a never-ending space/time continue um.

Answer 6

In my highly educated opinion the reason for quantum mechanics is that reality is sufficiently vast and varied that multiple exact (or nearly exact) copies of your brain exist. Your consciousness is the process operating on those brains. Quantum uncertainty derives from not knowing which copy of those brains we are operating on. Quantum collapse simply derives from brain algorithm divergence. Each of the so called multiple realities is just the environment of a particular brain copy. This is called the Many Minds interpretation of Quantum Mechanics. In this interpretation of quantum reality the mind does not change reality by observing it. Reality changes the mind. But our mind does "select" those regions of reality that it finds itself in.

Answer 7

You read too much Scott Adams.

Now, I may just be an actor in your little multi-dimensional trip through self-determination, but speaking as one who is fairly convinced that isn't actually the case, all that "affirmation" stuff is a bunch of crap.

Nice to think about if you're high, but crap.

Answer 8

I wish I was in one of those other realities right now.

Answer 9

No, the "omnipotent" part renders such a being illogical.

Answer 10

I'm not sure what God has to do with any of that.
