Phillip J. Fry - what is your background and occupation? This is pretty incredible stuff here!

If Dr. Fry is right, he gets a nobel prize, and he will be as famous as Einstein and Hawking, correct?

I have dumb non-scientist question.

But if quantum entanglement is the backbone of the universe, then wouldn't this make it more likely we are living in a simulation and the quantum entanglement pathways are basically the medium in which information is pushed from outside the simulation to inside the simulation?

Forgive my inability to use any of the technical terms.

Also in.

I feel like if Skynet does come online, it will become self aware somewhere within this thread.

In to keep this on my bookmarks.

I could only do the quantum well problem by doing it a crap load of times. Is this a quantum well question?

Bunch of geniuses around here.

Need I remind the collective here that mankind successfully landed astronauts on the moon and brought them back safely before someone even smarter than those guys came up with the ideat of putting wheels on suitcases?

Have you played it lately? lol. This, among other things, is what has been distracting me from working on it.
I still play it daily on android. I've had to bring the APK with me to several different phones, but it's still working

This is by far the coolest thread ever started on TexAgs. Godspeed Dr Fry, the subject matter is fascinating and I think we would all be tickled to say we watched such a groundbreaking discovery unfold on this website.

The issue is that Einstein's relativity doesn't work at quantum scales, Quantum theory doesn't work at relativistic scales, and that nobody really knows how gravity works.

This theory introduces information nodes and uses the quantum entanglement as a fundamental building blocks of the universe instead of mass/energy particles. Basically space time only exists where entanglement exists and the higher the entanglement density the higher the mass/gravity/curvature of space time. Where entanglement saturation exists, there are black holes which gets rid of some singularity issues. By using quantum entanglement and information nodes as the foundation of the universe it is able to unify the two theories.

The theory is quite novel but Fry still has quite a bit of work to do on his derivations imo.

Fun follow for us nerds.

What is a "quantum entanglement"?

How do they exist independent of some sort of particle?

I believe Einstein described quantum entanglement as spooky action at a distance. Basically the quantum states of two particles become linked and if you alter one, the other will instantly change violating the speed of light.

Rather than use particles, Fry introduces a new construct which he describes as an information node which carries quantum state information. He named these nodes spatoms.

I read the explanation with eager anticipation that it would help me understand what the heck was going on.

Now I'm left with just realizing I am an unintelligent human being.....

Don't feel bad, I had to take physics 222 (Modern Physics, or in my day, Physics of the Atom) more than once.

I get all the concepts unfortunately I chose construction science even though I was a natural at physics. Where do I start independent study to catch up.

Sorry for bailing on this thread this week. I've been focused on answering some of Ib3's questions. Give me a few more days.

I do have answers. Need to get them on paper and submitted before I can talk about it openly.

All I'm willing to say right now is that it is definitely not simply a re-write of GR.

Did you find something interesting like the Hubble limit or eliminate the need for dark energy?

Once you're comfortable, I really do suggest you reach out to Dr. Fry. Or Roland Allen. This is right in their wheelhouse.

You might also try Andreas Mershin. He is a very interesting fellow and did his doctoral stuff at A&M before heading to MIT. He loves stuff like this and I have a feeling he'd be happy to talk.

I did make a click baity video over the weekend. I'm new at this, but I think it describes at least the fundamentals. See the first page edit.

I'm a little nervous about this, but I think I figured out a way for chatgpt and claude to talk to each other without me having to intervene. This should be interesting.

Infinite recursion, AI style. They'll invent their own language and you won't know what the hell they're telling each other.
