Information field giving rise to quantum mechanics.

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the concept of an "information field" related to quantum mechanics, particularly in the context of quantum entanglement. A quote from Einstein suggests a shift in understanding physics, implying that a universal field may allow for instantaneous information sharing, challenging traditional notions of space and time. The idea raises questions about whether such a field could exist beyond spacetime and if it could resolve the EPR paradox. Additionally, there is skepticism regarding Einstein's Unified Field Theory, with claims that he never successfully formulated it and opposed faster-than-light communication. The conversation highlights the complexities and ongoing debates surrounding quantum mechanics and the nature of reality.

"Information field" giving rise to quantum mechanics.

Hello. I stumbled upon a video on youtube where quantum entanglement is discussed (). A woman quotes Einstein: "There is no place in this new kind of physics for the field and matter, for the field is the only reality." What did Einstein mean by "new kind of physics," and what field was he referring to? I am confused because the woman made it sound like Einstein believed that there is a universal "field" of non-locality where everything is instantaneously sharing information. If such an "information field" exists, it would have to exist beyond spacetime; instantaneous = time is irrelevant. Instantaneous communication between particles also implies that the concept of space is irrelevant. Also, the Pauli exclusion principle says that all electrons in the universe are "aware" of each other's quantum states. Could there be an "information field" permeating "reality" whose description is beyond the notions of space and time (instantaneous action directly implies that space and time are irrelevant)? Could this "field" solve the EPR paradox?

Thank you in advance.

I have seen some complete nonsense about Einstein's Unified Field Theory on the History channel. They should have been ashamed of themselves.

First, Einstein never got the theory to work, and he knew that. So in reality there is no such theory.

Secondly, Einstein was 100% against the idea of anything going faster than light.

The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...
Hello everyone, Consider the problem in which a car is told to travel at 30 km/h for L kilometers and then at 60 km/h for another L kilometers. Next, you are asked to determine the average speed. My question is: although we know that the average speed in this case is the harmonic mean of the two speeds, is it also possible to state that the average speed over this 2L-kilometer stretch can be obtained as a weighted average of the two speeds? Best regards, DaTario
Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?
