- Continuing part 2 of my paid for "intelligence analysis" on the impact
- of New Age Paradigms on the future of medicine, new marketing
- strategies, new politics, etc. etc. for a high level consortium based
- in Luxembourg,Geneva,London and Paris. Your (unpaid) comments,
- criticisms will be included (if of value) in footnotes. I am striving
- for a balanced objective presentation.
-
- The behavior of tiny spinning electrically charged particles, mainly
- electrons and protons (i.e. hydrogen bonds), fundamental to the quantum
- mechanics of our bodies, obeys new laws of chance. The new feature,
- according to the late Genius, Richard Feynman, is the "coherent
- superposition of alternative histories". In the old physics, since all
- causes were before their effects, the Newtonian laws of motion could, in
- principle, predict the precise future behavior of single particles given
- complete information on the initial causes. The Heisenberg uncertainty
- principle says that complete information on the initial causes is not
- possible in principle. The fundamental reason is that intial causes in the
- past are not enough to predict the behavior of the particle as it evolves
- in time. Future "final causes" or purposive "teleological" karmic
- influences also co-determine the intermediate behavior of the particle from
- its preparation to its detection. The Feynman "history" is a description of
- the possible motion of the particle (or field) from its preparation in the
- past to its detection in the future. Each possible alternative history,
- each "separate reality" for the particle (or electromagnetic field) is
- described by an "amplitude" which encodes the entire "action" from past to
- future in a point on a circle of an abstract space of pure mathematical
- thought called "the complex plane". All of quantum mechanics, both
- standard and my new non-standard version, can be summarized in two laws:
-
- 1. Given a set of indistinguishable alternative histories, add their arrows
- and then "take the square" to compute the probability of that
- indistinguishable set.
-
- 2. Given a set of distinguishable alternative histories, "take the square"
- and then add these squares to compute the probability of that
- distinguishable set.
-
- A word on what it means to "take the square". The Feynman amplitude for a
- possible history of any quantum process has a "retarded" form that
- propagates information forward-in-time from preparation to detection and a
- "conjugate" or "advanced" form that propagates information backward-in-time
- from detection to preparation. "Taking the square" means multiplying the
- forward-in-time amplitude by the backward-time-time amplitude. When several
- indistinguishable histories coherently superpose (in an interpenetration of
- separate classical realities that has no analog in the old physics) we have
- "loops in time" between interfering separate classical realities or
- parallel universes. The chemical bonds in which spinning electrons bind
- atoms into molecules could not exist without these quantum loops and time
- which are essential to manipulate the healing process by electromagnetic
- machines in the coming new medicine.
-
- Poincare discovered that there is an inherent classical uncertainty in the
- old physics of complex systems quite distinct from the quantum uncertainty
- of new physics. The old physics uncertainty is called "chaos" using the
- mathematics of "fractal attractors in phase space". It applies to attempts
- to predict weather, stock market prices, heart beats, neural web activity
- (e.g. brain waves) brain waves and many other kinds of complex measurable
- phenomena in the human body essential to medical diagnostics. The relation
- between classical chaos and quantum connectivity is not at all understood
- by any one today. The late David Bohm came closest in his "nonlocal quantum
- potential" approach to quantum mechanics. It is a topic of great importance
- for biophysical and psycho-physical research. It is also important for the
- design of the next generation of parallel-processing super-computers with
- switching hardware in the .35 micron or smaller scale.
-
- Quantum phenomena involve chance (i.e. probability) in a new fundamental
- way which is not the same as our intuitions based upon rolling dice, or
- playing card games. The conservation of probability is fundamental to all
- science. That is, if we know all the ways something can happen, then the
- sum of the probabilities for all the ways must add up to 1. In standard
- quantum mechanics, the conservation of probability is expressed by a
- mathematical condition called "unitarity of the time evolution". The
- mathematics of unitarity erects a formidable barrier against useful
- communication on the nonlocal quantum connection. Unitarity prevents the
- decoding of the message by observations at the receiver alone within the
- standard quantum mechanics. However, I have recently discovered that
- unitarity while being sufficient to ensure conservation of probability is
- not necessary, at least in the special case of the connected particles with
- "entangled" wave functions. There appears to be a weaker mathematical
- possibility that I will call "weak nonunitarity" that still conserves
- probability for the alternate behaviors of the receiver and for the sender
- separately. This breaking of the unitarity barrier in a new non-standard
- quantum mechanics which is minimally different from standard quantum
- mechanics may permit the local decoding of the message at the receiver.
- This approach as well as others is essential for the further progress of
- new physics applications to healing and supercomputer design. Brian
- Josephson, a Nobel Prize Laureate in physics at Cambridge University thinks
- that complex living systems, which unlike inorganic matter are not in
- thermal equilibrium, break the unitarity barrier of standard quantum
- mechanics by some new principle not yet understood.
