Singularity and State Reduction

 

At the beginning of this essay I have assumed the presence of an entity with zero dimension where the image of all of the points in our world can drop in it and stay superimposed. Some place where different events can happen simultaneously because in this entity the notion of time is not present. I have assumed that space-time universe and this entity are like two sides of the same coin.The coin being the existence.

Singularity can be the side of the coin where Bohr senses the wholeness. That is where we can not differentiate the system from the observer.

Maybe we don't have to speculate in remote and strange thought domains.  Multiple universes and multiple histories do not sound very logical. Rather we can assume an intimate proximity and relationship between objective world and singularity. With this assumption, multiple states stay in one realm (singularity), which has the capability to accommodate them. This way we do not mix it up with actual activities, which are allowable in space-time. Otherwise, it leads to confusion and we will be dragged into an in-deterministic physics that nobody knows how to deal with it.

Von Neumann rejects the measurement error interpretation by reasoning that our measuring device is only another sub-atomic particle, which according to Schrödinger’s equation entangles with the particles under observation. This should add to complexity of superposition, not state reduction.

 

At the beginning we explored the similarities between mind and proposed singularity. The necessity to utilize complex numbers in order to explain quantum behavior suggests that elements in imaginary world participate in determining quantum physics. Previously, I took the imaginary portion, to represent the effect of the proposed singularity.

My conjecture is that the physical world is made of separate and discrete parts and bodies. But the dual nature of the existence connects and interact each part through the universal consciousness.  The universal consciousness is extended through our bodies as well and this is how we are connected and mingled with the whole.

 

Tonomura Double Slit Experiment:
Feynman's Sum over Paths Approach

 

In Thomas Young’s double-slit experiment a beam of light is directed towards a barrier with two slits that permits the light to go through. A screen is installed behind the barrier that shows light and dark rows or the so-called interference pattern. This is the basic experiment, which demonstrates the wave property of light.

On the other hand, in 1920, Albert Einstein received the Nobel Prize for introducing the photon as a particle (packet of light energy). Currently, light has been considered to have double character. It is assumed to have  a particle and a wave property. Photon is the particle trait of light.

 

Tonomura Double slit experiment is almost similar to Young experiment but with a twist. In this experiment, instead of photons, electrons are fired one by one in time intervals of ten seconds. Interestingly, the interference pattern appears in the screen similar to the one when a bunch of electrons is fired towards both slits simultaneously. The experiment has been repeated by many researchers. How can one electron creates interference with itself. Brian Greene explains how the strange results were first observed:
