"Let's suppose this were an atom," I start to explain, "and all you do is take away a single electron (and also a proton in the nucleus) or add one, then, for example, you would turn the hydrogen atom into a helium atom with completely new properties. If you take different atoms and put them together, you get a compound of atoms, which is called a molecule. Take a molecule, move an atom and you get a completely new molecule with completely new properties.

Now I think to myself that the very specific arrangement of the atoms created the plastic molecule. If the atoms had behaved differently and arranged themselves differently, something else would have been created; a whole cell phone perhaps?

This cell phone here consists of an unimaginable number of atoms arranged in a very specific way. And I find that so amazing, so uncanny at the same time, because I simply can't imagine what ominous force must be behind it, that the arrangement of things is not only capable of producing different properties, no, but also something as subtle as abstract perception. Hearing and seeing, for example!

~What is matter anyway?~

What sound does a cannon shot on earth actually make in a universe in which evolution has not yet produced the ability to hear?

It would undoubtedly be a silent universe. God knows it could be brutal on this earth, only the sound could not yet have existed in this universe. Only through those beings blessed with hearing does the universe resound in all its splendor. Isn't it amazing that something as subtle as consciousness contributes to the creation and shaping of the universe?"

"Wait a minute. Are you saying that if evolution hadn't created vision, there would be no colors, no shapes and no images? None of that?"

"Yes, what that would all mean! And there's more! Albert Einstein's statement "The moon is there even when no one is looking" was his protest against quantum physics, which basically claims that the moon does not exist unless there is nothing and no one to prove the moon directly. His protest was directed at prominent scientists such as Niels Bohr, Max Born, Paul Dirac, Werner Heisenberg, Pascual Jordan and Wolfgang Pauli who support this interpretation of quantum physics. You may even know some of these names already! Think of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, for example.

And then there is this experiment from quantum physics: the famous "double slit experiment".

Research proves that quanta, i.e. the smallest particles, in this case electrons, stop behaving like particles if they are unmeasured, i.e. "unobserved".

I know, that all sounds very crazy and bizarre at first, doesn't it?

Never before would the above-average educated Dude have been taken seriously if he boldly claimed to be able to exert a concrete influence on reality through something as abstract as an observation... After all, we can stare at a rock, but this rock will always remain a rock.

Nevertheless, what quantum physics has revealed will completely overturn your previous worldview, which we have adhered to for over 10,000 years.

I will try to explain step by step what this quantum physics is all about. And then it will certainly make sense when it says something like:

"According to an old phrase, the first sip from the cup of knowledge separates us from God, but God is waiting at the bottom of the cup"

This sentence came from a Werner Heisenberg. He was a Nobel Prize winner and one of the most important quantum physicists of the last century.

Although this experimental set-up is simply and unspectacularly called "the double-slit experiment", the ground-breaking findings from quantum physics will blow your mind. The double-slit experiment is considered the most beautiful and famous example of quantum physics. Everyone who is called a quantum physicist knows the double-slit experiment inside out.

Yep, so as I said, these quantum objects seem to stop behaving like particles as soon as they are left unobserved.

~The researchers had caught a glimpse of what the world looks like when you're not looking.~

This naturally raises the question of what role observation or the experimenter plays in all of this.

The measuring devices were left switched on in the experimental setup, but all measurement data was immediately deleted. This meant that nothing had actually been changed in the set-up per se, only that the "observation" had been removed from the equation. The erasure of all measurement data meant that these particles were put into an unobserved state and once again they stopped behaving like particles.

It had thus been proven that it is not the "mechanical measurement process itself" that influences the behavior of these particles, but somehow ->the evaluation of the data with meaning and significance<- is decisive for the intervention in matter.

Meaning and significance are linked to consciousness. A machine cannot do this in the absence of consciousness. Apparently, this is where the scientific practice of "what ancient cultures and esotericism have taught for thousands of years" - mind over matter...? I'll go into this in a little more detail later."

So the fact that quantum objects, the smallest building blocks of the world (photons, electrons, etc...) stop behaving like particles because they are no longer measured (i.e. no longer "observed") is surprisingly reminiscent of the functioning of

___

"...graphics cards?"

___

"Exactly. You don't need to animate an object if the object to be animated is outside the player's field of vision. Only when the object to be animated moves into the player's field of vision does it need to be animated."

___

"...So we create measurable reality through observation?"

___

"Now we're getting a lot closer to the point! "Generated" is the right keyword here. It is consciousness that generates particles into measurable reality. Not a machine. The findings from quantum mechanics say that the smallest building blocks of the world only appear when they are interacted with / when they can be "observed"."

___

"In truth, matter and the entire material universe behave differently, more abstractly, even more 'incomprehensibly' behind our backs as soon as we simply ... look away..."

___

... "to look away" is meant purely as a metaphor and is also not an entirely correct formulation. Instead of "look away", the correct wording should be "as soon as there is no more interaction"

...it's a difference.

What happens to the coffee cup when there is nothing and no one left to make it appear as such? Will it then still exist, or does matter only ever come together to form an image when it (the coffee cup) is interacted with?

If with the absolute absence of hearing, sound would be completely eradicated from the universe, and with sight the visual image of it, do material things actually cease to behave like matter when there is nothing and no one left to make them appear as such? The idea of the earth continues to exist, I imagine, as does the earth per se. However, in a form that defies description. At least that is what quantum mechanics demands.

Just like the person who is blind from birth, who has never seen a circle and yet knows how to distinguish it from other shapes (e.g. the square). After all, a circle has no color, so in its true nature it is actually invisible, formless and shapeless. However, we describe the circle using the means at our disposal, such as white school chalk. But the fact that the circle is white is just as nonsense as trying to imagine a black circle against a black background. And despite everything, people who are blind from birth can easily describe the shape of a circle, even though they have never seen one. For such a person, the circular shape continues to exist somewhere in a form that we will never see.

They are there, these small particles, but the truth is that they form a world that you have never seen before and will probably never see. The further consideration of this world view culminates in the hypothesis of the "holographic universe" that I am currently familiar with, some say "virtual reality", elsewhere you hear about "simulated reality".

Sylvester James Gates, physicist:

"What I'm really doing is I'm working on a topic called supersymmetry. In this mathematical context of such equations, we have discovered that there are mathematical structures that are indistinguishable from *error correction codes* as they occur in *digital information transmission*. For this reason, many people have come to the conclusion that the universe we live in must resemble the science fiction movie 'The Matrix', where we are all a kind of simulation of a running program. If you accept that, you have to accept the existence of ~ghosts~, because if they are simulations, there is some kind of substructure (which we don't have access to) that runs us as an app. If we die, it means that that particular app is no longer running. But if that underlying structure is still there and the code is not corrupted ... whoever is running that structure can reactivate an app, say Jim Gates in 500 years."

Is it possible to imagine measurable reality more like a "computer game"? Since the findings of quantum physics, the comparison would not be far-fetched at all! In simple terms, could our world be like a simulation?
