Strange New Explanation for Why Quantum World Collapses Into Reality

Hello and welcome! My name is Anton and in this video, we will talk about the suggestion that horizons from black holes and the expansion of the universe cause the quantum collapse into reality

I love that Schrodinger felt his example was so ridiculous it would change everyone's mind about how they thought of quantum physics and it was accepted as enlightening instead lol

[deepashtray]

Imagine just how controversial Shrodinger's cat analogy would have been if he used an opossum instead of a cat, because opossums are very good at playing dead.

Anton never fails to give me an 11 PM existential crisis

[Ramschat]

The insane part is that for me, the edge of the universe deviates a few hundred kilometres from yours, or anyone else's. Since it is relative to your position for each one of us. So the 'observer' always has you at its centre. Any arbitrary frame of reference has a different 'edge of the observable universe'.

HA, MY REALITY COLLAPSED INTO BEING ONE OF THE FIRST COMMENTERS-I'M GOING TO ABUSE THIS SLIM CHANCE TO DIRECTLY TELL ANTON THAT WE LOVE YOU AND YOU'RE GREAT, ANYWAYS BACK TO THE VIDEO !!

[Faithinhim]

Man I've been fascinated by this stuff since I heard of the two-slit experiment. It just boggles the mind to think that reality itself is a series of probabilities constantly collapsing. To me it's magic because I am way to dumb to understand it.

[Zebred]

Reality is certainly collapsing into strangeness these days!

[bethrains]

Antone looked really worried describing this. Like he was being observed by the edge of the observable universe and didn't want to piss it off by saying the wrong thing.

[MrOhirtenfelder]

This is possibly the single most mind bending video I have encountered on Youtube. And not just the video with it's utterly brilliant explanation of these concepts. The comments section is filled with nothing but positivity and support. If only more of Youtube were like this place, the world would be better off.
I don't know how I have not discovered this channel earlier.
The description and explanation has just helped me bring years of reading about these concepts and ideas into one, coherent, mental picture that my mind can make sense of. Thank you, Anton!

[DavidBensonActor]

Bravo on a bold attempt to explain in simple, layman's terms something that, even after watching your excellent video, I find completely incomprehensible.

[horiushayha]

I get the creeping feeling that we should leave the perspective of "observers" behind because it is only a part of the larger group of "interactors" I think interactions between particles are of all the determinators that "force" certain particles to attain their physical properties which happens literally with every particle, everywhere and all at once.

[AfonsodelCB]

As a developer, this video has made me feel like reality is a lot more like a digital environment than expected... it's like our quantum particles are references pointing to non-allocated memory, and you can get multiple particles to point to the same address, leading them to representing the same value regardless of where they are in memory since in actuality they're both redirecting to the same space in memory... Does that mean black holes are garbage collectors? 🤔

[PlebianGorilla]

I know lots of people get sent into existential crises from these topics but I’ve realized that I’m so used to this stuff that it gives me peace. This is kind of what I’ve perceived the world as already (in simple terms). The existential crises I have are often a reaction to humanity itself and our stupidity. This stuff is my escape.

[stravelakis]

Thank you!
You did this in just 8 minutes!?!
I think this was the first time in my life I could actually understand what existence could be.

[Reohz]

This is how my D&D game works. Everything both exists and doesn't exist until the players interact with it and I am forced to bang out some details for them.

[thenephilim]

I'm probably missing something... But if these event horizons act as observers, no matter how far they're away, because of entanglement, how could there ever be an interference pattern in a double slit experiment?

[AranJackson]

I like the idea of the universe before the Big Bang being a sea of yet-to-collapse quantum objects. With no observation or interaction between them. Then the Big Bang rather than just being an explosion, it became an observer and collapses the wave function of quantum objects increasing the expansion of the universe as it spreads out across the universe. Perhaps this dual effect is responsible for the acceleration of the universe.

[YourFriendlyGApilot]

Anton, thank you what an amazing video. Can you help me understand one thing?

If black holes and the edge of the observable universe acted as observers, then wouldn't everything always be a particle? In the conventional Double Slit experiment by the time we shoot a photon it would already be particle because the universe is observing it. Why instead does it still act as a wave?

Again thank you for all the amazing content.

This doesn't really have to be this complicated, conceptually... The basics are that all matter is simply excitations in quantum fields that are interacting and resonating with each other. What appears to be missing is that each increase in quantum complexity (quarks-->bosons-->atoms-->molecules, etc.) allows for fewer and fewer probabilistic variations due to the number of field excitations that are interacting and resonating to create the system. The simplest systems (one quark, electron, or other fundamental "praticle") would have the fewest number of resonances and/or interactions limiting the breadth of the wave function. It's why larger, more complex particles are subject to locality in a way that fundamenatal particles aren't. For example, quarks are fundamental - they are singular field excitations with no resonant connections. Side note: The idea of "particles" is a gross mischaracterization. What they really are are bundles of quantum excitations that overlap, resonate with each other, forming systems of increasing complexity and reducing probabilistic uncertainty. A proton is 3 quarks, aka 3 separate quark field excitations resonating with each other, which limits the probabilistic variability of each quark because the resonance (strong force) between each quark reduces the size of the wave function of each other quark, essentially "dampening" them (partial collapse), but not entirely. There is still some low probability associated with each quark's location and or momentum, but it is limited to the boundaries of the 3-quark system itself. In other words, the entire system now has a wave function, with substantially tighter allowances for probabilistic variations in properties. Any atom larger than a proton will have a more complex system of interactions and resonances, further limiting the quantum uncertainty of the combined system. In a kind of excpetion to the rule sort of way, electron clouds are excitations in a different field that act like large-scale resonators for entire boson systems, rather than inherently merge with the wave function of the underlying system.

Now for the kicker - quantum fields are non-spatial. Spacetime doesn't emerge until two or more fundmental field excitations interact. The resonance between two or more excitations necessitates a property called "spacetime" in order to facilitate the resonance. It's basically a framework for quantum field interaction that emerges from the interaction orientations. it's kind of like making two dots on a flat piece of paper meet by rolling the paper. The two dots were always there, and so was the paper (in two dimensions) but in order for them to interact, the paper has to take on a new property (an extra dimension) and become 3-dimensional. There's no other way for the two dots to interact without the emergence of that property.

I didn't think I was going to be able to understand what you were going to be discussing when you introduced everything that was going be involved in your discussion. Fortunately you explained it so well I know exactly what you were talking about. Thank you for the bagel analogy.
