Well, we agree somewhat. The thing is, when an observer 'calls things to account', they don't suddenly start behaving as a particle instead of a wave from that moment *forward*... they seem to go more like 'I was a particle *all along*'
In other words, if observation really is in some ways bringing things into existence, then it is bringing them into existence RETROACTIVELY. Not only are they there now and going forward, they always were, complete with historical records.
Take the Schroedinger's Cat experiment - is the Cat alive or dead in the box? Quantum mechanics, strangely, says both. Now suppose we do something interesting - we put the cat in the box on January 27. We wait 3 days. The box is opened on Jan 30 at noon, the wave form collapses and we have our answer...
Inside, there's either a 3 day dead cat in there (complete with smell, "it stinketh!") or a 3 day hungry cat in there (complete with attitude). Even though the wave form collapsed 5 seconds ago on noon of Jan 30, the effect (should be) retroactive in time.
So maybe the universe was created 6,000 years ago... but the further we look out into the universe, the older it gets
Personally, I think it's standing at around 13.8 billion, from an inside-the-universe human perspective, and about 7 days from an outside-the-universe God perspective.
The book The Science of God was what first introduced me to the idea above, and quantum mechanics and the double-slit experiment. Check it out sometime. In Search of Schroedinger's Cat is also a favorite of mine.
Hello Petros,
In Jesus' first miracle, after the head waiter tasted the wine, where did the headwaiter see as the past of the wine? Jesus' turning water into wine, is one of many possibilities. Someone was lying about having no wine in the first place, is another, of many possibilities. Someone else, other than Jesus, turned a vat of rocks into wine, is another, of many possibilities. The headwaiter cannot go back in time to 'observe' which actual path the electrons, protons and neutrons took, before they were wine. The headwaiter could put 'Faith' in his employees words of what they saw, which is one of many possible choices of 'Belief' that the headwaiter could take.
Adam was already created before God Created animals and woman. We have Adam talking to God about how awesome woman, that God had created, was. According to what Adam observed was that there was no woman and animals, then God created animals and woman. From Adam's observation, we had a past without animals, yet now we have animals, and we now see a past, before Adam, with animals.
The point is, once observed, we see a past and future for the wine in Jesus' first miracle, which is not the same past and future of the initial vat of water. Now a future of people remaining to drink wine occurs where a vat of water would have lead to a future of people leaving the wedding celebration to go home and sleep.
When an electron is in the form of a wave, not a particle, it still has something physical disturbing it, to form a wave of possibilities of travel, rather than a straight line. Lets start putting faces on all these possibilities of past lines of travel of electrons, protons and neutrons; wine or water in the past? Animals or no animals in the past? Dinosaurs or no dinosaurs in the past? These are all the possibilities which are physically occurring to an electron, proton or neutron, when it is in wave form, to cause it to become a wave of traveled directions, rather than one straight path of travel.
What happens to the wave of possible paths an electron can travel, when man looks at it? It selects one path a particle electron has taken from the big bang to infinite future. What happens in the future, when there is no longer a conscience observer in the universe? Electrons, protons and neutrons go back to being a wave, not a particle, and no physical future of a universe exists, beyond the life of the conscious observers. The end of the universe. What happened before Adam a conscious observer, was Created? According to God, five days of Creation, but you have to put Faith in God to see this. According to science, if there was no conscience observer, there are no electrons, protons and neutrons in particle state, only wave state, so no universe exists.
It is only from the prospective of conscience observation that a possible past, along with a great multitude of possible pasts, to the big bang and a possible future, out of a great multitude of possible futures, beyond and before, the life of conscience observation, exists. Electrons, protons and neutrons have to be in a particle state, for us to see/experience the massive structures of the universe. To be in a particle state, rather than a wave of possibilities, has to have a conscious observer observing them. When a conscious observer observes them, they form one past and future reality. When a conscious observer is not observing subatomic particles they are in a form of all possible pasts and futures, but no physical universe, and thus no physical reality.
It is God who chooses what reality we see/experience, at any given millisecond of any day. God can switch between the realities which we see/experience, at any given millisecond of the day. Ordinary days, along with what we see as our past and future, along with miracles, are all miracles, to us.
The Strange Link
between the Human Mind and Quantum Physics
by Philip Ball, 16 February 2017
"(John) Wheeler even entertained the thought that the presence of living beings, which are capable of "noticing", has transformed what was previously a multitude of possible quantum pasts into one concrete history. In this sense, Wheeler said,
we become participants in the evolution of the Universe since its very beginning. In his words,
we live in a "participatory universe."
