In recent news, ANU (Australian National University) physicists carried out an experiment thought out by Princeton physicist John Archibald Wheeler. Tom discusses the results of this experiment, the impact it has on materialist reductionism, and the implications it has in our lives. The identity Tom has used for years, and his MBT science supports, is: R=I. Reality equals information. Tom's My Big TOE viewpoint is such that it doesn't exclude anyone, "Everyone can play this game." His science term LCS: "A derivation of an entity that performs the functions of God." "The root of all existence without the dogma, creed, and beliefs."

The delayed-choice thought experiment proposed by John Wheeler has significant implications for our understanding of quantum mechanics, the nature of reality, and the role of observation. Some of the key implications include:

  1. Wave-Particle Duality and Complementarity: The experiment highlights the dual nature of particles, such as photons, which can exhibit both wave-like and particle-like behaviors. It suggests that the behavior of particles is not fixed but can change depending on the experimental setup and whether they are observed.

  2. Observer Effect and Reality Construction: The experiment emphasizes the role of observation in determining the outcome of quantum events. It raises the question of whether particles have definite properties before they are observed or if they "choose" their properties based on the act of observation. This ties into the idea that our observations and measurements actively shape the reality we perceive.

  3. Causality and Time: The delayed-choice aspect of the experiment challenges our traditional understanding of causality and the arrow of time. It suggests that events in the present can retroactively influence the behavior of particles in the past. This challenges our intuitive sense of cause-and-effect relationships.

  4. The Nature of Reality: The experiment raises philosophical questions about the nature of reality and whether it exists independently of observation. Wheeler's participatory universe concept suggests that the act of observation is intimately connected to the existence of reality itself, blurring the lines between the observer and the observed.

  5. Quantum Entanglement: While not explicitly part of the original thought experiment, its implications tie into the broader discussions of quantum entanglement. Entanglement involves correlations between particles that seem to defy classical notions of local realism. The delayed-choice experiment adds complexity to the entanglement puzzle, suggesting that decisions made about the observation of one particle can affect the behavior of another particle, even if they were once entangled and then separated.

  6. Philosophical and Epistemological Considerations: The experiment invites discussions about the philosophical underpinnings of science, such as the nature of knowledge and the limits of human understanding. It highlights the potential limitations of classical concepts when dealing with the quantum realm.

  7. Future Technological Possibilities: While the experiment is primarily a theoretical construct, it has inspired discussions about the practical implications of manipulating particles' behavior based on delayed choices. Some have speculated about potential applications in quantum technologies and computing.

In essence, the delayed-choice thought experiment challenges our intuitive understanding of reality, causality, and observation in the quantum world. It emphasizes the need to develop new frameworks that can accommodate the strange and counterintuitive behaviors exhibited by particles at the quantum scale. It also underscores the ongoing mystery surrounding the fundamental nature of the universe and the role that conscious observation may play in shaping it.

The photon particle vs wave experiment is indeed eye opening but the whole experiment is based on the ability to extract the behavior of a single photon that is traveling at the speed of light. I am not convinced that the experimenter will be effective at changing the set up of the experiment once the photon particle has already entered the mirror. As with quantum science and theory of relativity, we have to have a major leap of faith that under those conditions matter will behave a certain way theoretically.

Thank you for sharing this interesting experiment.
