# Exploring the Concept of Super-Determinism in Our Universe
Written on
Chapter 1: Understanding Super-Determinism
The notion of super-determinism prompts intriguing questions about the very fabric of our universe. Previous discussions in this series have offered theories and evidence suggesting that our universe might be represented as a holographic projection on a boundary within Anti-de Sitter (AdS) space. This boundary effectively conveys the elements of AdS space in a dimensionally reduced format. Here, gravity emerges from the curvature of AdS space, weaving a narrative of matter's historical movements.
In the prior article, "Is Hydrogen Gas a Medium for Holding Information?" it was posited that the essence of history and information could be embodied within hydrogen gas. This concept posits that information might possess mass, potentially aligning with the dark matter that astrophysicists speculate about. This article aims to synthesize these prior ideas and explore their implications on the essence of our reality.
Super-Determinism Explained
Quantum physics often presents perplexing challenges. The dual nature of photons, acting both as waves and particles, raises fundamental questions. Some philosophers propose that the phenomena we observe at the quantum level were predetermined at the universe's inception. Instead of collapsing upon observation, the quantum wave function's outcome was already factored into the initial conditions dictating the universe's evolution. This perspective leads to the idea that entanglement among quantum particles may stem from a fundamental misunderstanding of reality, encapsulated in the theory of super-determinism. This theory posits that the experimental setup is never separate from the detector's settings.
The implications of super-determinism suggest a lack of free will; our futures appear to be predetermined. The outcomes of experiments may have been settled even before the conceptualization of the experiments themselves. From various viewpoints, this notion of super-determinism might seem unexciting, as we become mere spectators without any significant influence over our existence.
However, if we consider super-determinism through the lens of being observers within AdS space, witnessing events unfold on a boundary, our roles become meaningful. Events on this boundary could resemble a film, which has various possible endings based on the viewer's reactions. Thus, while the film's events may be predetermined, we can learn to navigate through different timelines.
Adjacent Possible: The Potential of Information
Previous discussions have suggested empirical evidence linking dark matter to the mass of information, potentially instantiated within hydrogen gas. This information may encapsulate a star's history, including its age, travel distance, and temperature fluctuations.
However, information can transcend mere age, distance, and temperature. Various mediums can embody information. For instance:
- Auras may represent information manifested in the water vapor surrounding a living organism.
- Homeopathy could be interpreted as information stored in water, even after extensive dilution.
- Dowsing might be explained by the Earth's capacity to manifest information about water locations.
As viewers experience specific emotions, the characters they identify with may gain the ability to perceive subtle environmental information, allowing the film to traverse different timelines. We, as viewers, hold the potential to alter our film's trajectory by recognizing how our emotional responses influence the narrative. Not every timeline is available to us, yet our lives offer opportunities to cultivate and experience emotions. This concept of opportunity has been termed the "adjacent possible":
A shadowy inverse of history, exponentially increasing in potential the further we venture into the future, yet intelligently constrained at every juncture by the limitations of the present.
Engaging with the Adjacent Possible
Not everyone may seek to uncover their adjacent possible. Nevertheless, life can present opportunities to access such knowledge, exemplified by identifying appropriate actions to tackle global crises.
Humanity currently faces numerous challenges, such as climate change, which could threaten Earth's habitability. This situation may serve as a test to identify individuals with the right emotional responses to collaborate on resolving challenges. Perhaps only those who work together will "reincarnate" in a future narrative where Earth remains habitable.
Learning to navigate the film's timeline may hinge on how we respond to both personal events and community issues. An individual's inability to halt climate change may be irrelevant; they might need to act "as if" others are cooperating, even in the absence of visible collaboration.
In biology, a phenomenon known as "quorum sensing" has been discovered. This process allows bacteria to adjust gene expression based on population density through signaling molecules. Upon reaching a certain concentration, these signals become detectable to the bacterial community. Until this threshold is met, bacteria can emit signals without impacting the broader population.
Similar to bacterial quorum sensing, some individuals may need to take action against global crises without immediate evidence of their effectiveness. For instance, research suggests that Earth vibrates at a natural frequency called the Schumann Resonance, which aligns with alpha brain waves. This resonance may enable us to alter the behavior of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by changing the informational content within the fabric of space. As carbon dioxide disperses into space, the concentration of greenhouse gases on Earth may decrease, mitigating the impacts of climate change.
However, this strategy to combat climate change may only materialize if individuals are willing to take appropriate actions without immediate feedback regarding their effectiveness.
The pressing question of this article is:
Can individuals be motivated to act without concrete proof of their actions' success?
