    The physical universe must be an agreement which we are all in on since it began, but consciousness never began, it has always been..... and does not exist in space and time. We have been playing the physical universe game for so long now, that we think we are a part of the physical universe in our asleep state. We have not even began to manipulate matter, energy and the things which are going to happen in the future with energy and matter will be amazing, as long as we do not smash up the playing field which we are in.

    brunnys1, actually we already are and have been manipulating matter and energy as all living systems can. That's how you got your house and people call this the law of attraction or sowing and reaping. Technology is another extension of that. All matter is made of mostly of what's considered empty space and are hands(The matter we are made of is mostly empty space) move things in empty space. That means we are already telekinetic(purpose/intention guided movement). All yeah we already been messing up ourselves and the planet. Consciousness is time and space and energy and is non-reductive as the pan-cosmo-Quantum supra-conscious holographic in-formational memory field of co-entangled states i.e morphic resonance or you can call it God. All yeah in-formational realism is a form of modern neoplatonism. I'm a Pantheists or panpsycho-panentheists. If consciousness creates information than consciousness is fundamental while information is emergent or derived from mind. Mind follows no rules but on what it decides for itself so on. This is 'de animae' not a carton simulation on some one's hard drive. The universe isn't teleological it's trans-teleological, it changes the purposes and meaning of things and things too. The idea of biocentrism and human extension or I like to call pan-bioextension fits well with my theory of everything which can explain quantum mechanics much better than his interpretation. More details latter you all.

    Here is a thought experiment: If everything is about information, and not about consciousness (being able to know or be aware of something) - Then what would happen if this experiment was done but only one person knows which slit was "slit A" and which slit was "slit B" during the experiment. The data would say that the particle went through either slit A or B. If we looked at the film at this point it would show two dots instead of a distribution pattern (because the person who knows which slit was slit A and B during the experiment is still alive). If we instead killed the person first, by stopping his haert and then looks at the data and the film, it would show a distribution pattern because nobody now knows which slit was slit A and B during the experiment, so the data is inconclusive. If we then suddenly decides to start his haert and make him conscious again, would the distribution pattern then suddenly magically appear on the screen, because we now can determine which slits were A and B?

    You are saying the information forming reality is dependant on the consciousness. So the world started existing when the humans began to think consciously and before that there was only the possibillity of a mind existing in a biological body. So every discovery we make in the future also creates a determined past from which we kind of created ourselves in the now. I have a different perspective on the QE theory. The information is not important until it makes a chain of events that form complex informations that become integrated in our world. So the simple potentially important information as a photons end point is in no importance until it starts attracting other quantum related particles that form a physical structure. This is the first time I have seen your videos Tom, I will sub and continue to investigate.

Only the animal would be able to see the measurements and it would not be stored in any way that a human can have access to. If the photon behaves like a particle, would this mean the animal is conscious like a human? If not, would this mean that only humans are concious and can interfere with the photon?

    This is an example of time travel and how the universe protects particles travelling in a time warp by avoiding paradox’s. The particles are travelling at the speed of light so time stands still for those particles. When data is collected, knowledge of a particle travelling in a time warp (The electron or photon observed at light speed) is subject to a paradox if collected information doesn’t match reality. So on that basis the universe protects against paradoxes by creating a matching reality based on intelligence. This is a force outside of all other known forces and one undiscovered and undetected but proven to exist here during multiple experiments giving the same result. This is spiritual in its essence.

    Hi Tom, I still talk to people who think that on the delayed choice quantum eraser, the measurement does effect the results. Why don't they do the experiment the same way you talked about it with the regular double slit experiment (let the detectors detect at the 2 slits, then delete the data, then look at the results). That would put an end to this measurement interfering with the photons.

    Does the double slit experiment work if two groups of people are involved? One group, say Group A, collects the information at the double slits, and another group, say Group B, looks at the screen. Group A and B have no connection with each other, they are physically separated and has no communication between them, i.e. one group doesn't know what other have observed. Does Group B see diffraction pattern or two spots? The same situation can arise in delayed eraser experiment; imagine Group A has erased the information before Group B sees the screen; does Group B see diffraction or two spots?

    Hi Tom. Some questions. If the first graph is a probability distribution, then in fact at least some number of particles should fall into areas other than those that are opposite the holes. This is not happening. Why? Conversely, why is there a probability of particles falling into the side regions if we are dealing with a rectilinear movement of the particle from one point to another through a narrow gap? Is there something wrong with your theory? Other issue. Is it possible in CERN, for example, to launch a particle by holding it in a certain direction, and not measuring which hole it will pass through, as in the picture below?

  • @edonki

    VERY Nicely put. I have two cents: 1) I have reasons to believe that the "conciousness" that "collapses" (to put the QM term to a better use) or in your words "materializes the information inside the virtual reality" isn't just the human mind. That is, is really not that a mountain ain't neccecsarily there when no *human* is looking. It isn't there when no thing is looking including the mountains themselves (or some distant star for that matter). Of course, it does happen than when we humans do look into reality we participate in its "materialization", what we're just part of the observers (and I don't mean Aliens but nature itself). [I don't mean to imply that the elements of the virtual reality, i.e. electrons, photons, molecules, mountains and cats are themselves the obvservers but that there are concious observers "materializing" them and which are totally independent of us human beings] 2) If the world is weird enough to "materialize" at T(i) some current form of reality, for which it takes into account whatever it had already compromised at some T(i-1), then, the fact that T(i) has been always co-herence with T(i-1) for all we know (as if that meant a lot), is just a fact, and not a prescription of how nature ought to work. I would pretty much like it that way for otherwise it would raise an already complex thing into a whole new level of complexity, but is clear from a logical POV that it might very well just so happen that the film *now* shows an inteference pattern even if we did had information about it being a particle before. Not only is this a real logical possibility but some people actually think this is in fact the case, and call it "realit shifts" (I don't like that too much but can't deny it either)

    Hello Tom, this explanation was wonderful, thank you so much! I have some hypothetical questions regarding the experiment which I would be very grateful if you could answer: 1. So if there were two scientists doing the experiment simultaneously, and one of them were to look at the information of the detectors, and the other one wouldn't. After the experiment is done, the first one erases the information from the data base but of course keeps it within his consciousness. Now, if they both develop the film, since one of them holds the information, the film would show two lines, correct? This will make the scientist who was NOT looking at the information to assume that the photons behaved as a particle instead of (as some people would assert) that one sees an interference pattern and the other one would see the too lines. 2. So now that the film is developed, with the two lines on it, and the information is erased from the computer. If you were to put that developed film on a box, and the two scientists who are the only ones why know the information were to die. What would a third scientist see when opening the already developed film? 3. What would happen if, without the knowledge of the people who conduct the experiment, one were to mess with the detectors or the computer in order that it shows light behaving as a wave or maybe even something completely crazy and different (like both detectors going off with one single particle). Would that information, regarded as correct by the scientists doing the experiment, be represented in the film? Again, thank you so much, and may you keep sharing this wonderful knowledge.

    So... theoretically you could change a constant like the speed of light.

    42:07 If it was just about the measurement then once you made this measurement, erasing it later wouldn't make any difference. So it's not just the measurement. 42:18 If it was just consciousness once you saw that all the data was measured it probably wouldn't change if you erase the data because consciousness already knows that you get a pile of electrons behind each hole after you detect which slit it went through but it does change. 42:45 So what's critical is the information but just consciousness is required.

    Having which-way information means that the particle went a specific way. If it went a specific way, it was a particle. If it was a particle, observation took place. Having which-way information means observation took place. Which-way information's present: the experiment's observed. Which-way information's absent: the experiment's unobserved. No which-way information, no "physical" reality: no observation, no "physical" reality. There's no Mind-independent "physical" reality: realism's false. All there is of the "physical" world at any given time is the totality of what's in all of our Consciousnesses. What of the world that's not in any Mind exists just as information (incl. the wave function), also in Mind. All's Mind. Mind: Consciousness: Self: Being: Psyche: Spirit: Absolute Infinity: Reality: God All's God.

    Hi Tom, Let's suppose, couple of scientists make the experiment and they do not erase the detector data and they do not look at the screen. Then a stranger comes in the lab who does not know whether there is a collected detector data or not. So this stranger looks at the screen and if i am correct, he will see a particle pattern because even if he doesnt know that there is collected detector data, the detector data exist and that what matters. So this means that the stranger can find out if the scientists collected detector data or not by just looking at the screen?

However, I was annoyed because Campbell did not present it as an analogy. He stated his analogy as fact. He is basically saying that you can take a piece of film out of the experiment, which you know has 2 dots. then, the next day, delete a file on your computer and the film changes to an interference pattern. This is just false. Yes the concept is the same, but it does not scale to that macro of level. No one talks about Schrodinger's cat experiment as an actual experiment that has been replicated many times.

    I agree Michael. He uses an analogy as being a fact. In the experimentation the delay was 2 nano seconds. But in his defense, as long as the result changes depending on if we keep or not the data, does it matter if we keep the data for 2 nano seconds or 2 years? The result is the same. Somehow, by getting rid of the data that was previously collected, the end result changes. If you do some searches about that experiment you will find more evidences that what he is talking about is in fact happening. I am not sure I buy is explanation of why it is happening. I really do not know why it is happening, but it makes the concept of time quite interesting.

    I do think it could make a difference whether we save it for 2 nano seconds or for 2 years. The current experiment takes place in a beam of light. You can "store" the beam of light for several nano seconds just by making the beam longer and putting the sensor farther away. I would love to see this experiment shoot the laser to the moon and back making it a couple seconds in the past. But to store the data long term would require a change in medium, like to a hard disk. This would probably collapse the wave function. If you could store the data without collapsing the wave function, and you could somehow completely erase that data, then in theory it should work. But, I suspect the wave function collapses when the data changes medium at all, like even from light to the electricity in the detector wires. I know he said that leaving the detector on, but not recording the output produced the interference pattern, but i think even that is wrong. I will go read it again to make sure.

    i have a few questions for Mr. Campbell: 1. If noone looks at the moountain, then the mountain isn't there (or isn't a "real" mountain - or whichever way you want to put it). Now Let's say noone looks at the mountain, and everyone then walks towards the mountain, eventually they're going to bump against it so the mountain is there. 2. Quantum mechanical effects are only significant at temperatures near absolute zero (the nobel prize has been handed out not long ago for this discovery if i'm not mistaken). So specific conditions like this (and many others) cannot be (without solid foundation) generalized to the macro world. I could be wrong about this, but a double check wouldn't be a waste of time. 3. The latest developments in consioussness studies tend to express the statement that "conscioussness is an emergent property", so how can an emergent property be fundamental to our universe? Tom Campbell is an excellent writer, i'm halfway his book "the big toe" and this one's a nice read. He is very clear when he speaks and has the gift of "tranquility" it seems lol. Anyway, keep up the good work Tom! We're anxiously waiting for the next one :-)

    I agree. Finally someone is showing the true results of that experiment. However, there are other possibilities. Like time might not exist. Maybe the universe already knows which choice will be made and it adjusts the result AS IT HAPPENS so that the film shows what choice WILL be made. Or, since the universe is actually one unified whole anyway, it just changes the film when the choice is made. We will probably never know which it is. But either way, it points to a universe that is very weird and probably conscious.

    Hi Tom, Lets assume that I am performing this experiment in front of a large audience (as though I am some sort of a magician or something!). Also assume that I have a tiny button hidden in my hand upon pressing which the 'which path' data recorded by the measuring devices gets deleted. Now consider I perform the following 2 acts: 1. I run the experiment and before revealing the screen to the audience I secretly press the tiny button in my hand to delete the 'which path' information that was recorded by the measuring devices. Upon revealing the screen everyone would observe an interference (wave) pattern. 2. Now I run the experiment and do not press the button. I reveal the screen to the audience and everyone would observe a clump pattern (as the 'which path' information is available from the measuring devices). Now if you say information causes collapse, the audience did not have information/knowledge of the fact that 'which path' information can be measured. But still they can see a clump pattern. So how does information cause collapse in this scenario?

This scares anyone with any vested interest in the science, why wouldln't they try to explain it with some mystery.

    Hi Tom, Just discovered your channel, thank you so much for your great work. Just wanted to be sure I understand correctly - in the double slit experiment: a sensor is in place and the sensor data is recorded. At the end of the experiment, if a person checks the results (even without looking at the sensor recorded data), he would see a double band pattern. If however the sensor data is erased at the end of the experiment, before being seen by anyone, the same person, upon checking the result of the experiment, would see an interference pattern. Is this correct and has this actualy been tested? If so, what if only one person sees the sensor data, does not check the result of the experiment, and afterwards dies?

    @Tom Campbell does this experiment only work with photons or does this apply to all information? I apologize if this sounds like a foolish question for I'm only learning of this as of recently, for example if I set up a camera that could take a random picture (without anyone present) given a certain time frame, let say within a 5 minute period the camera will randomly take only one photo, this camera will be focused to a area of 1"X1", at the focused point there's a wheel that has a penny, a dime, a nickel , and a quarter, these coins will be on the outer perimeter of the circle. The circle will be spinning slowly, slow enough that when the random picture is taken within the given 5 minute period the camera will capture one of these coins, now if this experiment only works with photons then I've completely wasted my time typing this I suppose, but if it does apply to information in general then here's my question. Since no one was present when the camera took the photo within the 5 minute period and the wheel was spinning with 4 possible picture outcomes which gives the photo a 25% chance of being anyone of the individual coins, since no one was physically there to take the picture or observe the picture being taken does the probability still remain at 25% before observing the picture/information? I'm sorry if this sounds like lunacy but from what I'm understanding it was said that matter can exist at more than one given point in time, so what I'm not observing behind me isn't there until I look in that direction, so back to my scenario no one was there when the picture was taken, does this affect the % outcome or is it redundant because I originally knew what the camera would be taking a picture of?

    Since it seems no one understands why this is happening yet... I am wondering if there is more details somewhere on the experiment... and what I mean by more detail is.... VERY detailed info.... like exactly what instruments are used. What the slits are made out of... what color they are.. what distance everything is placed at... etc etc. So that lots of minds can take a look at all the different variables and perhaps find something that is influencing the experiment that no one had thought of. With the info I have come across so far I don't even know if the "observer" is a human or a camera or a sensor... or... I have no idea. I'm sure this has all been looked at by better minds than my own, but it would help even someone like myself understand what is going on better to be able to rule this or that out. When I hear Neil DeGrasse try to explain it away it made no sense to me. saying that the observers eyeball is using light bouncing off of the particle and that light is interfering with the particle... but there is almost always light... hitting from many angles.. our eyes don't suddenly create the light ... they just pick up some of it in the form of reflecting off an object. There is plenty to be confused about... so if anyone knows a link to details of the experiments, it might help someone like myself understand... even if the understanding is that it cannot be understood currently. .. Even if this comment is old when you read it... if you have the info I am talking of and can link it, it may help out people wanting to look deeper into this. Thanks for reading.

The data would say that the particle went through either slit A or B. If we looked at the film at this point it would show two dots instead of a distribution pattern (because the person who knows which slit was slit A and B during the experiment is still alive). If we instead killed the person first, by stopping his haert and then looks at the data and the film, it would show a distribution pattern because nobody now knows which slit was slit A and B during the experiment, so the data is inconclusive. If we then suddenly decides to start his haert and make him conscious again, would the distribution pattern then suddenly magically appear on the screen, because we now can determine which slits were A and B?

    No "magic" is necessary. The system (LCS & PNR VR rendering engine) works on probability and is aware of every possibility and its probability. It is also aware of the experimenters thoughts and plans since the experimenters are a part of the system. It also knows whether or not the resuscitation will likely be successful and because of the uncertainty could make the resuscitation result be whatever it wished. Bottom line: Since the LCS controls every aspect of the VRs it creates, it is very hard to trick.

I can follow the idea of what you are talking about in the video (that it's all about information and not consciousness) if it's because the neurons and synapses in the brain after seeing the data, are being seen as data?

    Frank McKay arxiv.org/pdf/quant-ph/0106078v1.pdf Two slit quantum eraser. The experiment is fairly simple. The setup shoots an entangled pair out. One travels through a double slit to Ds. Other travels to Dp. This setup produces a diffraction pattern at Ds, because of the slits. Now, they place QWP's (path detectors) behind each slit to detect which slit the particle went through. They now got a particle pattern. So far so good. But, leaving QWP's in, they then erase the which path information (via a polarization projection measurement at Dp). Now they got a diffraction pattern again. QWPs in place detecting at slits, but diffraction after erasure. So maybe we just changed the Ds particle mid flight somehow before it hit the detector? Not so. Most striking of all is this: they adjusted the apparatus so that Ds detects a particle before Dp. So, the Ds photon passes the QWP marking the path and hits detector Ds. After that the data is erased with the polarizer. Diffraction at Ds. You are living in a virtual reality.
