Sorry if this is a stupid question, I don't fully understand entropy. Snow flakes are highly structured, they form from water vapor which has very little structure. I must be misunderstanding entropy, my interpretation of it is that isolated system must evolve into more chaotic less structured...
i read feyman's popular book https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QED:_The_Strange_Theory_of_Light_and_Matter
he makes the point that as long as u don't try to obtain "information" about the particle, no collapse happens. but when u do try to obtain information, it collapse. he suggested multiple...
photons from CBMR are in the low freq radio spectrum, that's like saying we can make out the shape of a room and furniture in it using a radio goggle. I don't fully understand decoherence, but I'm pretty sure the mainstream view of why dust particles aren't teleporting around and have a definite...
I agree. It's just like the foundational issues in math, no one knows if the current foundation ZFC is consistent. This issue just died down over the decades, and mathematicians adopted the shut up and calculate mentality, instead of finding a different type of formal system (not based on first...
certainly u don't need a conscious observer. But knowing the information, whether it's by a computer or real person, seems to affect reality
I'm not a physicist so i don't know what to make of this. It seems everything in QM is affected by whether the information is known or not (by non...
Joseph, why do u think I am siding with Denett? I'm converting to property dualism recently. But even so many years ago when I was a substance dualist and read about consciousness cause collapse, i thought it was completely nonsense. The universe gets along just fine when we aren't looking at...

also schrodinger believed it, and maybe bohr too?
this is such a stupid concept, it's obviously false. but clearly i must be missing out on something, people like them aren't going to believe in things that's "obviously...
