Link to Video: The Missing Link in Physics - Reinterpreting the Double-Slit Experiment
-Hi, I'm a metaphysicist, you can call me C.
-And I'm here to ask, what is the true nature of reality? As a metaphysicist, which is a philosopher that studies the foundation of all things, I would like to explain reality using logic and everything we already know. To start my video series, I'll explain the core of my new theory and how it changes old assumption in physics. I also want to highlight a major problem in quantum mechanics and offer a way to resolve it. And keep in mind, a theory doesn't prove or disprove anything. A theory uses well-supported evidence to explain how a complex system might work. My theory, which I call the Engine of Reality, highlights how quantum mechanics tends to ignore the products of our perception. Our perception is our interface with reality and the only way we receive information. Quantum mechanics claims particles have duality when the phenomenon is clearly a product of our perception. The double-slit experiment demonstrates the dual nature of our perception, not the duality of particles.
-Everything we perceive, from photons to galaxies, is processed through our perception, which is our five bodily senses (sight, touch, taste, hearing, and smell) and their connection to our brains. Our perception uses electrical signals that loop through our nervous system to keep us aware of our surroundings. If you know something, it's because you perceived it. There is no escaping the observation effect, and only a delusion mind would deny that. Our perception uses our nervous system to quantize energy into measurable points. The only thing moving is the energy. Atoms are predetermined coordinates that are not moving. They are points in space in time that are highlighted by energy looping through our nervous system.
-Objects are created by two different phases of the same energy, and that energy flows along innumerable predetermined pathways that give objects their shape. The intrinsic energy of reality keeps our consciousness moving forward in time even when our bodies are standing still. In physics, the intrinsic energy is called the four fundamental forces, which are gravity, electromagnetism, and the strong and weak nuclear forces. Stationary objects are made of moving energy and static coordinates. Rocks have built-in energy and coordinates that keep them from disintegration. A simple rock is buzzing with moving energy, but our perception tricks us into thinking the rock is motionless. Einstein was referring to this phenomenon when he said time is a stubbornly persistent illusion.
-Thinking about reality as moving energy makes physics easier to understand. Our nervous system uses two phases of the same energy to generate our perceivable reality. The first phase of the energy is the intrinsic phase, which we indirectly experience as the four fundamental forces and the passage of time. The second phase of the energy we experience is object motion. As-in, I can move my hand back and forth or a rock back and forth, but I cannot move time back and forth. They are two different phases of the same energy, or two different phases of motion. The first phase is uncontrollable, the second phase is filtered through our nervous system and controllable to a degree.
-The two phases of this energy can be demonstrated with the double-slit experiment. The experiment is thought to provide crucial evidence of quantum mechanics or quantum theory by demonstrating wave-particle duality, superposition, and the observation effect. These things cannot be fully explained using classical mechanics or general relativity, but they can be explained if we understand how our perception works. In my theory, particle duality, and the particles themselves are products of our perception because our nervous system is a mechanism that quantizes immeasurable energy into something we can understand. In the double-slit experiment, we're manipulating energy by firing electrons through double slits in a wall and measuring their final behavior.
-- If we fire electrons through two slits in a middle wall, instead of shooting through like bullets, they surprisingly create an interference wave pattern on the final wall with dots, thus they behave like waves and objects at the same time. This is where the idea of particle duality came from, but it's actually a demonstration of how energy takes all paths available to it even though we created a limited pathway using the double slits. It reveals intrinsic motion, which is the wave form pattern, and then object motion, which is the dots.
-- Now, If we observe the electrons before they enter the slits, their motion changes. They appear to shoot right through like bullets, leaving bullet patterns on the final wall. The wave form appears to collapse because our intruding senses limit the energy even further, giving it a smaller area to flow through. A camera has the same effect because it is designed to record what we can see, not superposition. Thus our observation becomes one tiny slit on it's own, shrinking the energy path and preventing it from interfering with itself in a noticeable way. It also implies that energy is always moving and it's flowing through everything around us, including our nervous system, to generate our perceivable reality.
-Our physical observation, via our eyes or a camera, changes the particle's motion from all available paths down to one determined path. Why does that happen? Because we're actually observing flowing energy, the intrinsic energy of reality is the only thing moving forward, and it's following an orderly path, and our perception can alter those paths. What we think are moving objects is energy lighting up a pathway. Our perception changes energy into something we can understand by reducing it and giving it an entangled coordinate in space and time. How does that happen?
-When we measure the electrons earlier on in the experiment, that action directly entangles the energy with our bodily perception, thus pulling it out of superposition, reducing it down to one path that we can comprehend. Our nervous system acts like a smaller slit to reduce the wavelength. The camera does it too because it's designed to record what we can see, not superposition. Superposition or wave-form is another way of saying the energy takes all possible paths. Our perception quantizes immeasurable energy into something we can comprehend. Everything we perceive, from photons to galaxies, is processed through our perception, which breaks or quantizes energy into measurable points in space and time, those points are pathways, waiting to be perceived. That is what the double-slit experiment is demonstrating, and that is the heart of my theory. Our perception has duality, not the particles themselves.
-So, how does this change physics? It makes time, space, objects, motion, and gravity products of our perception. The feedback loop of our nervous system quantizes immeasurable energy into measurable points in space and time. Our perception is our primary measuring tool in science, it's the only way we obtain information, and it's literally our interface with reality. It should be studied in particle physics. My theory offers a better explanation of gravity, time, and the cosmological constant problem, which I will discuss in my next video entitled, The Engine of Reality Part 1.
