Quantum uncertainty of the past

Quantum uncertainty of the past

The past is not permanent. Uncertainty exists both in the future and in the past.
The past changes according to the present. The more time has passed from time to time from the present, the greater the variability of the past. The past has the same properties as the future. The past is influenced not only by the present, but the past itself also affects the past. It is impossible to say about the trajectory of a photon with 100% probability knowing its position in the present, only using these data (conditionally 2 points in different periods of time). If the past is variable, then the laws of physics in the past can also be variable. Depending on the direction “to” and “from”, the past and the laws of physics can have different variations.

Let us describe an event S(i) in the past, where S is an event and i is an information argument. In the present, while maintaining information i, we can assume that the event S`(i) will follow, equal or correlate.
It could be considered
S(i) -> S`(i);
S(i) = S'(i);
S(i) ~ S'(i).

However, if the i argument is different, then this system will no longer be executed.
In other words, even how little deviation of information in the present relative to the past can change the state of the past itself.

In other words, with the complete disappearance of information in the present, the variability of the past can reach 100%.
It is not yet possible to determine the correlation of the variability of the past with respect to information. The presence and volume of information in the present somehow connects the present and the past.

If we assume that no information is transmitted from the past to the present, then it will be impossible to reliably determine the past in any way, which means that the existence of the past itself is questioned.
In fact, the transfer of information is the connection between the past and the present.

With 100% preservation of information in the present, we can assume that the past is also invariant, however, with the loss of information in the present, the past becomes uncertain by some, even a small amount.

 

information storage

A natural question arises whether 100% of information can be transferred and stored. Obviously not, although under ideal conditions this figure asymptotically tends to 100%.
Although not an exact example, but still if you ask a person what it was a minute ago, he will be able to tell, but not in 100% details, some details may be missed, but if you ask in an hour, then there will be even fewer such details .

This means that approximations of similar information will not give an accurate representation of the past, but will only approximate it. This suggests that the past is exemplary and approximate, similar to the future.

Will 1 bit of information in the present be invariant in the past. If so, does its spatial tensor matter? If so, what does it affect.
In other words, whether it is important to have information at a particular point in space.
Can information be considered a separate dimension at all?
We know from general relativity that gravitational fields affect spacetime. Can something else affect the information itself, namely its completeness.
Is it possible to consider that a bit of information is invariant or, nevertheless, like the lifetime of a proton, it can be large, but not infinite.

 

Space-time

According to quantum correlation process when the quantum state for quantum correlated particles can be changed immediately without any time delay that leads to an idea that the information is another dimension in our space-time picture.

There should be space-time-information continuum. That means that we have at least 5 dimensional world where the information is somehow stored and could be taken or put.

 

5x information dimension

Our world can exist in a different way if you have a different information in the 5-th dimension. The information dimension can solve the problem of the multi-universe theory. That will actually allow the same world exist but with different inputs, different laws or physics.

 

A world with 5x dimenions

 

If the information is stored in 5-x dimension then it means that is can be stored forever since it is a universe property.

 

What is the real spread of the variability of the past? How much can it change?
What is the critical amount of information in the present that stabilizes the system in the past?
Can a situation of spontaneous “nothing” hypothetically arise, i.e. when the universe simply ceases to exist due to the fact that the past is strongly deformed?

 

Variability of the past

Is there a 100% opportunity to describe the past in the present. After all, if part of the information, even the smallest one about the past, is lost, then the variability of the past appears. The present balances the past.

With a sharp change in the present, a complete change in the past is also possible. For example, if the planet earth is destroyed due to a nuclear apocalypse, then it will be impossible to reliably tell about any event on the planet Earth because all information about the Earth will be lost. Therefore, it will be possible to assert that the past is also lost.
The data that can be collected by analyzing the light from the Earth, which will have time to disperse to different parts of the universe, will allow us to talk about the past on earth, only very approximately.

Can random events in a variable past lead to a dramatic change in the present.
Perhaps, and the death of the cell may be a confirmation that death occurs suddenly, in fact, some changes occurred in the past that have already affected the present.

 

past vs future

The past balances the present.
The past is in constant motion and interaction, both with the present and with the past itself.
There is a real and imaginary past. At some point, it can be fixed and important milestones of the past are invariant. Perhaps the variability of the past has a weak influence, similar to the influence of virtual particles on the present.
Is it possible to say that the imaginary past does not exist, similarly to the imaginary future, which cannot happen.

 

Is there an imaginary past that cannot and will not happen. Are there mechanisms that can turn the imaginary past into a real one?!
If there is a hypothetical future, then there must be a hypothetical past. How does it relate to the imaginary past.

How many past lines can intersect? The depth of the past corresponds to the amount of information about this past.
Is a theoretical situation possible when there is no past?
Can the big bang be considered an event without a past?
Can the appearance of virtual particles be considered an event without a past?

quantum_virtual_particles

 

The appearance of virtual particles and the fact that they remain during the evaporation of Hawking can be considered an event without a past, which means that their variability in the past has infinity, i.e. we do not know where these particles came from, where they came from and how they became real from virtual ones. This means that the appearance of such particles in the present creates a “ripple” of the past, i.e. the present is not affected by any past.
Or all the same it is necessary to recognize that virtual particles are not born from “nothing”.

 

 

Can the presence of quantum entanglement be considered an event that actually destroys the connection between the present and the past, or vice versa completely eliminates the time tensor in the space-time dimension?
In fact, when 2 particles are correlated, there is no past or future for them. For them, there is only the present, because a timeless connection has been established between them.

 

general theory of relativity

This paradox takes place in the general theory of relativity, when 2 objects located at a great distance from each other are not synchronized, i.e. the present for them differs by the time it takes light to transmit information from one object to another.

Is there any connection between the ultimate speed of light and the connection between the present and the past?
Is the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle nothing more than a quantum adaptation of the past to the present?
Is it possible to consider in Young’s experiment that the behavior of one and another photon are connected without time, that the behavior of one photon depends on the behavior of the photon in the past, in other words, there is a constant interaction between the present and the past?
Can we assume that the complexity of measurements of physical constants just reflects the variability of the past?
Is there such a thing as a quantum capture of the past to the future bypassing the present? To what extent can the capture of one event from another be formed that it is impossible to change the course of events?

It can be considered that when traveling in time, if you return to the past to kill your grandfather, then in the future you will not appear and therefore this event will not happen. If the past is variable, then there will be no paradox here, because you will return to a different future, which will be adjusted through the present, i.e. you will still be born, only from different parents and will look different.
Memories, namely information, will also adapt and change and you will no longer remember this. Thus, we can consider that the system balances itself through information, i.e. the disappearance of information is part of the normal process, which is necessary for the past to be variable.
What can be said about life on earth in 100 billion years, when there will definitely be no solar system. Probably the maximum that can be argued that it was just that there was a solar system where the Earth was, however, data on the trajectory, orbit, inhabitants are unlikely to be preserved, so there may not be a past as such, i.e. it will disappear.

 

disappearing of the past

It can be concluded that if there is uncertainty in the future, then there must be the same uncertainty in the past.
If the past is invariant, then the future is also invariant.
The variability of the future and the invariance of the past is our usual perception of reality, but it can be erroneous.

Talking to ChatGPT about the theory

 

Do you think that the past is variable or is it stable?

As an AI language model, I do not have personal beliefs or opinions. However, from a scientific perspective, the past is generally considered to be a fixed and unchangeable sequence of events that have already occurred. The past can be studied and interpreted in different ways, depending on the available evidence, the perspective of the observer, and the context in which events took place. While historical facts and interpretations can be subject to revision and refinement as new evidence or perspectives emerge, the past itself is generally regarded as a stable and unalterable aspect of reality.

 

Is information stable? Can it exist forever?

Information can exist forever in some sense, but it is not necessarily stable in all contexts.

In terms of digital information, it is theoretically possible to store information indefinitely if the storage medium and environment are carefully controlled and maintained. For example, information can be stored in a digital format on a hard drive, which can be stored in a climate-controlled environment, and copied to new storage media as needed to prevent data loss due to decay or obsolescence.

However, even if information is stored indefinitely, it may not be stable in the sense that its meaning or relevance may change over time. For example, scientific theories or cultural beliefs may shift as new evidence or perspectives emerge, rendering previous information obsolete or incomplete.

Furthermore, the interpretation and understanding of information can be influenced by social, cultural, and political factors, which can also change over time. This means that even if the information itself remains the same, its meaning and significance may evolve or be contested in different contexts.

In summary, while information can exist forever in some sense, its stability and relevance may be subject to change over time due to a variety of factors.

 

How many past lines can intersect?

The number of past lines that can intersect depends on the context and the dimensionality of the space in which they exist.

In two-dimensional space, two past lines can intersect at most once, as long as they are not parallel. If they are parallel, they will never intersect.

In three-dimensional space, three past lines can intersect at a point, but only if they are not coplanar (i.e., they do not all lie in the same plane). If they are coplanar, they can intersect at most twice.

In higher-dimensional space, the number of past lines that can intersect at a point increases with the dimensionality of the space. For example, in four-dimensional space, four past lines can intersect at a point, as long as they are not coplanar.

However, it’s important to note that the concept of “past lines” may not always be well-defined in higher-dimensional spaces or in non-Euclidean geometries. In these cases, the number of past lines that can intersect may be difficult to determine or may not have a clear answer.

 

Can the big bang be considered an event without a past?

The Big Bang is often considered the beginning of the universe, so in a sense, it can be seen as an event without a past. However, this statement can be somewhat misleading and requires some clarification.

In physics, the concept of time is intimately linked with the geometry of spacetime, and our understanding of the nature of time is shaped by our theories of gravity and cosmology. In the context of the Big Bang, the standard model of cosmology suggests that the universe began as a singularity, a point of infinite density and temperature, about 13.8 billion years ago.

While it is true that the singularity of the Big Bang represents the earliest known point in the history of the universe, it is not accurate to say that it is an event without a past. In fact, the evolution of the universe leading up to the singularity is an important part of the Big Bang model, and our current understanding of the universe suggests that it was already undergoing expansion and cooling before the singularity occurred. This means that there was a period of time before the singularity during which the universe existed, even if we may not currently have a complete understanding of its properties or dynamics during that time.

Furthermore, our current understanding of the universe suggests that the conditions at the singularity may have been determined by physical processes and interactions that occurred during the universe’s early history. While our theories may break down at the singularity itself, it is still possible to trace the evolution of the universe backwards in time using physical laws and observations, and to construct models that describe the universe’s behavior at earlier and earlier times.

In summary, while the Big Bang can be considered an event without a past in the sense that it marks the earliest known point in the history of the universe, it is important to recognize that the universe existed and evolved prior to the singularity, and that the conditions at the singularity may have been influenced by physical processes and interactions that occurred during this earlier time.

 

Can information be considered a separate dimension at all?

In physics and mathematics, the term “dimension” typically refers to a coordinate or direction in space, which is necessary to describe the location of an object or the shape of a space. In this context, information is not considered a separate dimension.

However, in some fields, such as information theory and computer science, the term “dimension” can be used in a different sense. In these fields, the term may refer to the number of possible values or states that a system or variable can take, which is often related to the amount of information that can be encoded or transmitted using that system or variable.

For example, in digital communication, the number of bits used to represent a message is often referred to as the message’s “dimension”, since each bit can take on one of two possible values (0 or 1), and the number of bits determines the number of possible messages that can be transmitted.

Similarly, in information theory, the entropy of a system is often used as a measure of the amount of information contained in that system. The entropy is related to the number of possible states that the system can be in, and can be thought of as a kind of “information dimension” in this context.

However, it is important to note that these uses of the term “dimension” are somewhat different from its traditional meaning in physics and mathematics, and should be understood in the context of the specific field in which they are used. While information may be related to the number of possible states or values that a system can take, it is not typically considered a separate dimension in the same sense as space or time.

 

Will the past disappear if the information about that past disappears?

If all information and records of the past disappear, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the past itself disappears. The events that occurred in the past still happened, even if they are no longer remembered or documented.

However, the way we understand and interpret the past is heavily dependent on the information and records we have about it. Without this information, our understanding of the past may be incomplete or inaccurate.

In addition, the impact and relevance of the past on the present and the future may also diminish if the information about it disappears. Without understanding the mistakes and successes of the past, we may be more likely to repeat the same mistakes or miss out on opportunities for progress.

Therefore, while the past itself may not disappear, the significance and impact of the past on our lives may be greatly diminished if the information about it disappears.

 

It can be concluded that if there is uncertainty in the future, then there must be the same uncertainty in the past.
If the past is invariant, then the future is also invariant.
The variability of the future and the invariance of the past is our usual perception of reality, but it can be erroneous.

What do you think about it?

The idea that there is uncertainty in the future and that this implies uncertainty in the past is not necessarily true. The past is a set of events that have already occurred and are therefore fixed, whereas the future is a set of events that have not yet occurred and are therefore subject to various uncertainties.

However, it is also true that our perception of the past and the future can be influenced by our current understanding and knowledge, which can be limited or flawed. Our understanding of the past is based on available records, artifacts, and other forms of evidence, which may not provide a complete picture of what actually happened. Similarly, our understanding of the future is based on our current knowledge, assumptions, and predictions, which may not be accurate or may be influenced by biases.

Furthermore, the idea that the future is variable and the past is invariant is a simplification of reality. In reality, both the past and the future are complex and dynamic, and our understanding of them is constantly evolving as we gather new information and insights.

In summary, while there is some truth to the idea that the past is relatively invariant and the future is subject to more uncertainty, this should not be taken as an absolute rule. Our understanding of both the past and the future can be limited or flawed, and we need to be open to new information and perspectives in order to refine and expand our understanding of reality.
