Ah! Now I remember! They were able to move the (simulated) particle back a fraction of a second.

I think?

Wrt to the gold: Something like that rings a bell.

I think?

Because there was something I came across that gave me brief pause and was like "Ok, maybe there's something to the alchemy-thing".

Thought I'd repost it, bc "interesting".

 

I am about to go physics nerd for a moment.

Consider a Bose Einstein Condensate. That is a search term to study if you aren't familiar.

Consider a chess board.

We can watch how a Bose-Einstein condensate "decoheres" in a causal cascade from when energy is injected into a system.

A chess board exists in a closed room. You open the door and observe the pieces arranged on it. From the state of the board, a certain number of possible future and past moves exist. Of these possibilities, many of them become "coherent" - whereby the exact order of turns or what pieces move when is functionally identical to the current outcome, and therefore can't be determined.

Close the door. The pieces are re-arranged. Open the door again. Between those two times exist a range of possibilities. Some of them are absolute. Others are not.

Define an integer.

An integer is a value which is complete or whole.

Define One.

The integer value which is complete and denotes a singular instance that can't be divided or expressed as a partial.

We know from QM that events in the future can influence events in the past…. And that quantum mechanics does weird things. For example, how does a wave or particle of light know the dimensions of a lens or prism it passes through? It is as though a particle of light passes through the whole of the crystal… Yet it could have only taken one path, and in the instance of very large crystals - we must question if our understanding of locality is relevant.

Anyway - back to the chess board. Let's say that there is a judge in the room who will occasionally reference a prior move. Each move he declares to have occurred imposes an entropic cost against the coherent possibilities. Declaring that a queen took a pawn in the first five turns after you closed the door forever removes that pawn from the possibilities. Whereas declaring that the king was in check by a certain piece at turn 30 poses a different cost on possibilities. The more detail, the higher the cost.

Eventually, the judge will no longer have a very open palette of moves to choose from, and the details begin to resolve into a game.

Do the positions of grains of dust on mars have any relevance to our lives? QM suggests that the universe would favor abstracting such unnecessary detail.

What is the history of a civilization on another planet that we encounter in our travels 3,000 years from now?

 

Future proves past.
