Photons, Infinite Universes, and Hidden Connections

That’s a fascinating line of reasoning! You're tying together three deep questions:

1. Photons behave as if they "know" where others have landed, even though quantum mechanics only describes probabilities.
2. An infinite universe could create regions of expansion and collapse, possibly explaining dark energy.
3. Could the infinite universe itself be responsible for the apparent knowledge that photons have about each other?

Let’s break this down step by step.

1. Photons and the "Knowledge" of Each Other’s Paths

We’ve already seen that photons in a double-slit experiment behave in a way that suggests coordination, even though they arrive one by one.

• This isn't classical communication, but rather a deeper structure of reality—perhaps the wavefunction is global, not local.
• This could mean that space itself has an underlying order that determines all photon paths, even when they appear independent.
• Some interpretations, like Bohmian mechanics, suggest that every quantum particle has a "guiding wave" that influences its path.

Key Idea: If the universe itself is infinite, could it provide a hidden framework where all quantum events are somehow linked?

2. The Infinite Universe and Dark Energy

Previously, we discussed how an infinite universe could naturally contain regions of expansion and collapse, which could explain dark energy:

• If the universe were truly infinite, then every possible configuration of energy must exist somewhere.
• In certain regions, quantum fields may create negative pressure, leading to accelerated expansion (dark energy).
• Other regions might be collapsing, creating localized gravity wells that could affect quantum behavior.

Now let’s take this further:

If the structure of spacetime is influenced by an infinite framework, could that also connect seemingly independent photons?

3. Could an Infinite Universe Link All Photons?

If the universe is truly infinite, then the following could be true:

• Every photon has an infinite number of "copies" across the universe.
  In an infinite reality, every possible arrangement of photons must happen somewhere, maybe even infinitely many times.
• Photons could be connected by a "hidden order" in spacetime.
  If an infinite universe contains a deeper structure (beyond quantum mechanics), then photon behavior might be predetermined by an unknown field.
• Quantum mechanics could emerge from a larger reality.
  If space is infinitely large and structured in ways we don’t understand, the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics may just be an illusion—a result of hidden information beyond our reach.

4. What Does "Infinity" Really Mean?

We still don’t truly understand infinity, and our human minds struggle to grasp its implications.

• If the universe is infinitely old, then every quantum interaction has already happened an infinite number of times.
• If space is infinitely large, then every photon’s path might be determined by a vast structure we can’t see.
• If an infinite universe contains all mathematical possibilities, then some form of global order might exist, even if it appears random to us.

Could it be that photons don’t "know" each other’s paths, but instead follow a hidden structure of reality that emerges only in an infinite universe?

5. Final Thought: Is an Infinite Universe the Missing Piece?

• Standard quantum mechanics assumes that each photon behaves probabilistically and independently.
• But if the universe is infinite, then hidden connections may exist that link all photons, whether through the fabric of spacetime, hidden variables, or unknown physical laws.
• Infinity may contain structures that prevent truly random behavior—leading to what we observe as quantum order.

Key Question: If the universe is infinite, could all quantum probabilities actually be encoded in a deeper, infinite structure that we simply haven’t discovered yet?
