Quantum Astronomy: Knowability and Unknowability in the Universe

"However, a colleague of Einstein’s, Professor John Wheeler of Princeton University, has pointed out that one could take another interpretation, an interpretation he has dubbed, "The Participatory Universe." In this approach one can look at the universe as directly participating in each quantum effect in real time. In other words, the concept of a First Cause starting things off (winding up the clock of the universe, one might say) and then leaving the laws of physics to run things, may be what is incorrect in the basic approach of classical physics. Rather, in this participatory scenario, the Cause of the laws of physics remains an active Participant. (If one would like to also draw some religious points into such discussions I would just say that it is important to understand what is being said and what is not being said here—that is, to not oversimplify what went into Prof. Wheeler’s introduction of this interesting proposed conceptualization for quantum reality.)"

It's not (speak of the devil) ID. ;-)

Here's the final article in the series. It proposes how to use the SETI radio telescopes to perform a cosmic scale double slit experiment. If such an experiment succeeds, it could, for example, allow measurement of the speed limit of such things as quantum computers and quantum communication.

My word... I can -- almost -- understand that myself. I wish marijke would drop by. Maybe she could explain quantum thermodynamics to us, too. I think that was one of her areas of expertise.

I wish she would too...

[rlohmann]

I used to fight with her a lot, but I wouldn't mind more opportunities.

In time I hope everyone who usesd to be around will come back around... and bring friends. Or fiends. Or both.

Anybody here remember Tom LeCompte from CompuServe? A Music Forum Sysop. Think he ran his own math or science forum.

Top-notch physicist. Also, as I used to tell him, the funniest physicist around.

He'd sure add to this discussion.

After my smoke brain clears out (you know, from the forest fire), I'll read carefully through this thread. I am interested in this stuff.

I remember Tom, but as the guy who headed up the SCIMATH forum; I never knew he wa a Music Forum sysop!
