[notime] Expanding on the topic 'No such thing as motion'

[Robert Vaessen]

Jeanne -

Thanks for the ‘qu-bit’ explanation. This is a helpful way to illustrate the multiple possibilities nature of the multiple co-existing matter states and the quantum state where all possible states exist within the same physical space. It works well for those who already understand quantum states, and isn’t too difficult to explain to a novice.  The coin flip is another good device for explaining how we currently perceive reality. We don’t know what the outcome (as we process one node after another along any given probability path) is going to be until we flip the coin and see the result. The possible matter state is ‘processed’ before the outcome is perceived, thus creating a reality in a linear and sequential manner.

This is a little circuit that can "remember" the state of an input signal, which can be later read at any time. Flip-flops can be aggregated to form registers. A register consisting of N flip-flops can hold N bits, and as a consequence, can represent 2^N possible values or states. A bit can only hold either 1 or 0 at a particular point in time, however, so an N-bit register can only encode one of the 2^N possible values at a particular point in time.

It is only upon measurement of the qubit that the qubit yields values 1 or 0, and it happens to do so with a certain probability. Qubits can be implemented in multiple ways, one of which is using polarized photons. Qubits can again be aggregated to form a register. An N-qubit register would be similar to the N-bit register, except that the qubit register can simultaneously encode all 2^N possible states at the same time. Upon measurement, the N-qubit register yields one of its possible 2^N values with a certain probability, but it is not until we physically measure the qubit that its value is determined.

Since the register can only encode a single value at a particular point in time, the register is made to tick from one state to the next from time to time. At every tick, the register changes its value, and the earth or waving hand its position. An observer perceives this change of position in time as movement. Note that this scenario can only be explained if we add time to the equation.

The register simultaneously holds all of the earth's or hand's positions, and it is only upon measurement that we perceive one or the other. My analogy kind of breaks here, because once you measure a qubit, its value is determined, and measuring it again yields the same value. But we can think of the static earth or hand as some kind of qubit that yields different values upon every measurement, with a certain nature to how the values are yielded so that the earth or hand do not appear to jump from one place to the other but instead follow the motion we would expect. Now there is no time. All there is is a qubit register simultaenously holding all of the possible states of the earth or hand and an observer making measurements to get a perception of the system.
