Quantum Mechanics

(Work In Progress: output at 30/09/2023)

Plug Note¹

• Thesis Text:
  1. Quantum Mechanics, per se, is very peripheral to my research concerns, but is connected – or alleged to be connected – to sub-topics that are slightly less peripheral.
  2. At a first guess, these include:-
     1. Consciousness²: either because – doubtfully – QM “explains” consciousness or – equally doubtfully, in my view – because “observers” are conscious and so consciousness is involved in the measuring process and the “collapse of the wave function”.
        • My view on the former has been that “explaining” one scarcely-understood phenomenon by another even-less-understood phenomenon has been a non-starter. Also, the mechanisms proposed have been very dubious.
        • My view on the latter is that the “observer” is any interfering macroscopic object, the record of which (eg. on a photographic plate) may or may not be viewed by a conscious observer, but has the record nonetheless.
          
     2. Life³: because QM may be involved – or necessary for – various life-processes and indeed the origin of life itself.
     3. Teletransportation⁴: Because of quantum entanglement.
     4. Transhumanism⁵: because of quantum computing and the impact this might have on superintelligence and AI generally.
        
  3. The Many Worlds Interpretation of QM is sometimes said to involve either a very profligate example of Fission⁶, or a spreading out of the “Quantum Self⁷” across all these worlds. This is discussed in "Ball (Philip) - Beyond Weird: Why Everything You Thought You Knew About Quantum Mechanics is ... Different", pp. 288-305, Chapter “There is no other ‘quantum’ you”.
