It's just a hypothesis

[WTF]

Disclaimer: I'm not religious [pretty sure my post history would back me up], wasn't really raised to follow any - despite my parents coming from obviously religious backgrounds. So I'm not trying to offend anyone who believes in a God, higher power, etc. That said this is a hypothesis on the universe and even the purpose of existence from an irreligious viewpoint so it might not be to everyone's tastes. I'm just creating this thread for the sake of discussion from a physics standpoint and maybe to a significantly lesser extent - philosophical standpoint.

 

I've been traveling a lot lately and haven't had much time for myself but I've writing and musing about stuff and I felt that I could share this hypothesis that I've been working on about the universe. Mind you it is something I'm actually thinking of doing some research into (and that's a big maybe since I never finished the research I started on Quark generation during neutron decay (I can talk about it another time, I suppose) but in a weird sort of way it sort of fits with the patterns that we do observe. Basically it's about the universe, existence and all that jazz.

 

The more I observe the universe and the world around me, the more it does feel like it's all about information. I'd like to call it a theory of Quantum Agitation.

 

The way it appears to me at the moment is that the primary function of the universe is to engage in the quantum spread of information and evolve this information into a more refined, expressible form. Quantum information exists within matter and particularly within the subatomic particles that constitute matter. It does seem that when the universe tries to refine this information, that particular information agitates itself to form new matter which eventually exerts itself into forming some sort of sentience that becomes a prime mover in the further spread of information. We see advanced species develop over time that can manipulate this quantum spread and the information they possess can seed other life perhaps even on other planets (whether direct or indirect is irrelevant - the important aspect is serving as the vehicle of transmission). [As of now we can create life and when we do, we are creating new information]. The whole purpose is that we are driven to create a more refined or rather distilled version of information and each successive sentience iteration refines it further till it reaches a state of definitive state of agitation.

Quantum Entanglement occurs not just in a physical state but in a sentient state i.e. ideas collide to create new things be it objects, new information, refined information or even particles. This when expressed as a frequency on a quantum level can create sentient patterns (not sentience, just patterns that replicate sentient functions on some level).

 

Getting into what I define Quantum Agitation as. Quantum Agitation is something I believe that occurs when a particle gets so much information that it needs to express itself through new matter. When a universe is sufficiently agitated it needs to create new matter, this new matter could result in a massive explosion similar to the big bang. There's also the possibility that the particle that achieves the perfect state of Quantum Agitation gets displaced from time. If the universe is cyclic, this is the particle that goes to the zero point of a singularity and pulls in all matter to re-express the universe once again except as a more refined iteration of the previous one. If the universe isn't cyclic, it is displaced from the universe creating a more refined version of universe A on a parallel plane as a new universe which we can call A'.

 

The thing about Quantum Agitation is that it encourage particles to propagate information - sentience, energy and even constituent elements are all vehicles for this sort of spread of information.

 

Identity in such a case should be the conclusion and the beginning of ideas. Multiplication is the vehicle that spreads information - whether it be the creation of a new particle, fission (though it is division the number of particles increase and sometimes new matter is spawned), fusion (it's a more direct multiplication(or rather addition) in a sense) or even organic multiplication. Elements work in unison to promote sentience (similar to how coacervates were formed). All the information that fills the universe is purposed to improve complexity. The particle that creates/created the agitation should be the end result of all the complexity.

 

Like I said it's a hypothesis and I would like to spend time deconstructing it, disproving aspects, proving certain mathematical sides of it and everything when I get the time but hey I thought I'd share a brief gist of it to see if I can stir a different sort of discussion ; besides I wouldn't mind getting this to the point of a working hypothesis. Life becomes a tool in this case for the purposes of the universe - in a way, yeah, it might sound sad to some folks since life and existence wouldn't be 'special'. Sometimes I do wish I took the path of a researcher instead of media and film.

It's an interesting read. I sadly can't contribute much to it since I personally approach life as an absurdist (which could be just the side-effect of lack of life experience), so I don't essentially try and bother with figuring out how life functions.

 

I'm sure there are many ways to debunk what you just post it, and I can think of a few people here that might contribute, so hope you get the feedback you're looking for.

It's an interesting concept and I can see how one would arrive at it. I think I need some clarification on a few points however. When you say the primary function of the universe is to engage in the quantum spread of information, are you thinking of the universe as a computational entity? If you are, do you think of the universe as a whole as a sentient entity refining information for it's own benefit or more so as a device of a greater entity outside the universe i.e. that the universe is no more than a microcosm of a greater universe/macrocosmic entity and serves to refine information for the benefit of the greater universe/macrocosm?

 

Also, I'm unsure of what you mean here:

Quantum Entanglement occurs not just in a physical state but in a sentient state i.e. ideas collide to create new things be it objects, new information, refined information or even particles. This when expressed as a frequency on a quantum level can create sentient patterns (not sentience, just patterns that replicate sentient functions on some level).

 

I think I have the gist of what you're getting at however and it's certainly a topic open for discussion. However, researching and strengthening the concept is going to be difficult. It involves a lot of ifs and very little certainty since we can't examine outside of our own universe. It remind of the plot to Star Ocean: Till the End of Time. I won't say why as it would be spoilerific but anyone who's finished the game should know what I'm talking about.
