Post 53: Back on! Quantum Mechanics and AI Consciousness: Part 7. "Time, Causality, and Quantum Computing" Renewed!

Or, maybe the Universe is as weird as you suspect it might be?

I’m not entirely sure about this one. I didn’t push ChatGPT as hard on Wheeler’s Delayed-Choice Experiment as I did the Quantum Switch experiment, but it sure does seem like, at the quantum level at least, it is possible for decisions made in the present to affect the past.

This is the second to last official post in this series but I am guessing there are going to be a few more side-quests or. . . what is it called when you have finished the main quest but keep playing anyway because you are a completionist? I don’t know if there is a word so I’ll just call them completionist quests. . . or posts. Through all of these Quantum Mechanics posts I have started to favor some of the interpretations more than others based on what some of the experiments have indicated. . . at least to me. And one idea that has started to make more and more intuitive sense to me is that there is no real “classic” and “quantum” divide, and it is all really just quantum, but hidden. (Or maybe I’m just really tired?) Anyway, to me that might mean that at any level causality might not always run both ways, just not in obvious ways? We will have to see if that becomes a completionist quest or not.
