    Cool

    Dave walks up to the bar, gives a knowing glance to the foxy chick who is serving the refreshments, and says "the usual please, maiden of the bar."

    She serves up one pint of crisp, serene lager, the type of which is known to be the perfect aid for deliberating upon notions of space and time, and also gives him a free shot of whiskey... which is only to be used when the connosieur wishes to wash away the vast concepts and theorum that troubles him.

    Dave drinks the pint, but leaves the whisky untouched, maybe for another day.
    Dave ponders another pint... but is overcome by the notion that everything should be done in moderation.... if only he could get his theories moderated, he thought. But chance would be a fine thing.

    Leaving the bar, Dave gives one last knowing glance to the barmaid, who winks back at him, and closes the door firmly behind him.

    Suddenly a loud thump breaks the unusual silence as Mr. Nobody enters the pub. He looks around and is not surprised to find wondering souls engaged in deep conversation. He sits down, listens intently and interrupts the dialogue to his right. "Sir, are we not correct to assume, that all that is to see, all that exists, all the matter in the universe, is but waves of energy, constantly evolving within space-time, relentlessly moving closer towards the ultimate end, the entropic death. These waves emerge into reality by propagating and transmitting the most successful, the most likely information and interact with the observer to shape his special corner of local reality".

    As he already had said to his audiance in an earlier visit to the pub, he repeats himself again, in true fashion of a crazed, lonely, truth searching, lost soul, a lunatic on the lose

    " Why is it so hard for us to see the universe as probability waves? Why do we insist on QM being incomplete and its description of the subatomic lacking? QM has been well established and is in accordance with its description for optics and may harness future application in quantum fluids and solids.

    The C60 and C70 atoms are the largest objects for which quantum interference has been demonstrated (after passing through a multi-slit assembly and being properly isolated to prevent decoherance) I think of the particle as a bit of information (an idea from Wheeler). The reason you can not determine place and speed of a photon or electron at the same time is because it represents one bit of information, so either chose speed or location. Particles are not like kernels of sand, they are information of a wave. No true solids exist, what we touch, what we feel, is the electromagnetic force field of fingers interacting with the electromagnetic force field of objects. Even atoms are not matter, there core are quarks and leptons bound together by the strong force. And all we know is that quarks and leptons are smaller than 10-19 meters in radius. As far as we can tell, they have no internal structure or even any size. It is possible that future evidence will, once again, show this understanding to be an illusion and demonstrate that there is substructure within the particles that we now view as fundamental. Here we go again, even quarks are nothing tangible. It is pure energy at the boundary of becoming realized.

    So, how do I see the famous double split experiment?
    I see particles as a quantisized wave, not something solid flying through one or the other slit, but as a wave flying through both slits, creating the interference. If we peek then we "collapse" the wave and extract the one bit of information available and see the bit (particle) going through one or the other slit.

    The atom experiment mentioned above shows that everything can be described as a wave and that a wave is a more correct way of "seeing" the universe. It seems that if you want to define what is "more real" you arrive that everything is a wave and that particles are just the description of the wave and the actual illusion and are subject to decoherance. Decoherance acts as the catalyst for appearance of this reality as it exits the fog of uncertainty in a haze of overlapping and interfering waves".

    His proclamation make little sense. The authorities are called and confused Mr. Nobody is carried away in a straight jacket, still rambling on about perceptions of reality.....

    Cool

    Dave Gow listens to Mr Nobody and concludes that he must, one day, at least try a straight jacket. Suffer for the science.... no harm in that.
