1.2 Why in an Infinite Universe, Randomness Becomes Questionable?
The concept of true randomness in quantum mechanics relies on the assumption that
there are no hidden structures governing quantum events. However, in an
infinite universe, this assumption becomes problematic because:
-
Infinite Space Implies Infinite Structure
— In a finite universe, randomness might be fundamental.
— In an infinite universe, there is always an external influence beyond any local system.
— If the universe has infinite complexity, then quantum events may be
determined by vast underlying structures that we do not yet understand.
-
The Pilot-Wave Might Be a Global Structure
— If quantum events are influenced by a nonlocal pilot-wave field, then what appears
"random" is actually just our ignorance of the wave’s structure.
— This aligns with Bohmian Mechanics, where hidden variables dictate
outcomes rather than pure probability.
-
Probability Is a Tool, Not a Fundamental Truth
— We use probability in quantum mechanics because we lack information,
not because randomness is fundamental.
— If the universe is infinite, it
contains enough structure to eliminate randomness entirely—we simply do not have
the tools to decode it yet.
Key Insight: In an infinite and structured universe, every quantum event
may have a precise cause, but due to the limitations of human observation, we perceive it as probabilistic.
2.2 Equation for the Pilot-Wave in Bohmian Mechanics
The pilot-wave equation comes from Bohmian mechanics, where each particle is guided by
a wave function \( \psi \).
1. Schrödinger Equation (Standard Quantum Mechanics)
$$
i \hbar \frac{\partial \psi}{\partial t}
= \Bigl( -\frac{\hbar^2}{2m} \nabla^2 + V \Bigr) \psi
$$
This describes how the wavefunction \( \psi \) evolves over time.
2. Guidance Equation (Bohmian Mechanics Modification)
$$
\frac{d\mathbf{x}}{dt}
= \frac{\hbar}{m} \,\mathrm{Im}\!\Bigl(\frac{\nabla \psi}{\psi}\Bigr)
$$
where:
- \( \mathbf{x} \) is the position of the particle
- \( \psi \) is the pilot wave
- \( \hbar \) is Planck’s constant
- \( m \) is the mass of the particle
- \( \nabla \psi \) is the spatial gradient of the wavefunction
- \( \mathrm{Im} \) means taking the imaginary part of the expression
Interpretation:
— This equation determines the precise trajectory of a quantum particle.
— Instead of randomly choosing a position upon measurement, the particle
follows a hidden path dictated by \( \psi \).
— The particle’s motion is influenced by all other quantum events in the universe
through the pilot-wave field.
Key Difference from Standard Quantum Mechanics:
— In Copenhagen quantum mechanics, position is uncertain until measured.
— In Bohmian mechanics, the particle’s position is always definite but hidden from direct measurement.
Could this wave be an emergent structure of an infinite universe?
5. How Could You Manipulate the Pilot-Wave Equation?
If the pilot-wave determines quantum trajectories, then
controlling it could mean controlling quantum reality itself.
5.1. Modify the Wavefunction \( \psi \)
Since the pilot-wave equation depends on
\( \psi \), altering \( \psi \) directly
changes the behavior of the particle.
Ways to do this:
-
External Fields: Since the wavefunction is affected by potential
\( V \), applying an electric/magnetic field could shape the wave.
-
Quantum Coherence: By maintaining coherence, we might extend the influence
of the pilot-wave further.
-
Entanglement Engineering: If pilot-waves interact nonlocally, could we
guide one particle by influencing another entangled particle far away?
5.2. Create Artificial Pilot-Wave Fields
Bohm’s equation suggests that the pilot-wave is real and can be modified.
What if we could create artificial pilot-waves?
Potential methods:
-
Oscillating Quantum Fields: If pilot-waves behave like an underlying quantum fluid,
could we generate controlled oscillations?
-
Interferometry at the Pilot-Wave Level: Using high-precision interferometers, we might
detect and steer quantum particles.
-
Pilot-Wave Computing: If quantum outcomes are deterministic,
quantum computation could become fully predictable rather than probabilistic.
5.3. Possible Applications of Pilot-Wave Control
If we could manipulate pilot-waves, we could:
- Precisely control quantum computing—removing randomness.
- Send faster-than-light signals—if entanglement is driven by a deeper structure.
- Modify reality at the quantum level—potentially leading to new forms of energy or propulsion.
- Predict quantum outcomes in advance—eliminating uncertainty in measurements.
Could this be the key to a true "Theory of Everything"—linking quantum mechanics to gravity and an infinite universe?
Final Thought: Is Quantum Reality Just a Projection of an Infinite Universe?
If the pilot-wave is real, and if our universe is infinite, then:
- Quantum randomness might be an illusion.
- Bohmian mechanics could describe the hidden structure that connects all quantum events.
- Manipulating the pilot-wave could unlock quantum control, computing, and even faster-than-light communication.
- The infinite universe might be the fundamental reason for nonlocality, guiding all quantum interactions.
