| I like to picture the fundamental particles as probability waves of existence, nothing tangible at all. These existence waves enter reality by interacting with other waves to produce information as location, speed, spin, etc of energy (sorry Dave, I meant matter). This information is subject to competition for the propagation and construction of stability, the fittest information to arrive to where we are now (not because we are special, but because we are the ones asking now). I am stuck at the Heisenberg uncertainty principle and it has defined my view more than anything. So, for me probability almost is, dare I say, an actual entity. Dave will think I am crazy, but until I find a better way of visualizing QM uncertainty, probability will not just be presented as a statistical exercise, but as a necessity for fluid reality, competition and survival as well as free will if you will. If this built in indeterminism did not exist, everything would be predetermined, rigid and unable to evolve and adapt. Maybe this breaking from determinism caused inflation, Big Bang, the beginning of this cosmic epoch.
Caused who and what to break, Brian wants to know. Brian asked who is dividing the cylinder? Who is making the gas stay put. Nobody divided the gas and nobody is making it stay put. Evolution is not an addition of order, it is allocation of order from one system to another. The overall entropy is still increasing.
So, who broke? We did.....  |
