Albert Einstein, though a central figure in the development of quantum mechanics, had serious reservations about the theory, especially its inability to quantify, with one hundred percent accuracy, certain conjugate characteristics, such as position and momentum, of any particle under observation. This ‘defect’ as he saw it, is quantified by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, which says that the more we know about one characteristic the less we know about the other, and so makes quantum theory a purely probabilistic one. Einstein believed this inability to know the state of reality with exactitude to be a flaw in quantum theory. His solution was to attack the theory itself and show it to be incomplete.
To do this, he, Boris Podolski, and Nathan Rosen created a thought experiment (the EPR experiment) that they believed would show a glaring inconsistency in quantum theory and thus that its incompleteness was due to some hidden variable or variables (Chapter 7 in TotIs).
The fatal flaw in EPR’s approach was in attacking a theory that is itself based on an antIs experience of reality as opposed to attacking the basis of antIs reality itself, and thus its results, head on. As mentioned earlier, the antIs experience, and thus its interpretation of reality, is absolute for an observer. As long as we conjoin it with actual reality, its results, no matter how far fetched, or ‘spooky’, will appear to an observer as reality.
In the end EPR did the opposite of what was intended. When Bell’s inequality was breached (Chapter 7 in TotIs), it was revealed that reality (more precisely, antIs reality) is ‘non-local’ and that Einstein’s “spooky action at a distance” is an attribute of reality. The entangled particles in the EPR experiment would communicate state instantaneously, or to be more precise, in delta T equal zero, that is, in null time, over any distance. This is another bit of evidence that, though it appears to be nonsensical from an antIs perspective, gives credence from outside of an antIs perspective, to the reality that the actual nature of what we call time, does not embody movement. How is this so? We are observing events that happen ‘outside’ of both antIs time and space. In theory, entangled particles at opposite ends of the universe are capable of such communication. They encompass, or bypass, the space ‘between’ them in null time. Whether it’s one meter, one parsec or one universe in distance, the only way that either time or space enter into the equation with these particles, is when an observer is involved, an observer with an antIs interpretation of reality.
Another bit of evidence that can be considered as coming from outside of an observers perspective, and that points to a non-flowing nature for time, involves effects from relativity theory. Those effects are the time dilation and space contraction for a particle, such as a photon, traveling at the speed of light. According to relativity, a photon traveling at light speed neither ages nor does it pass through space. Time for the photon stops flowing at all, and space contracts infinitely in the direction of the photon’s movement. Both values become null values. It is only when an observer interacts with the photon that some time and space value is observed. Once again, from an antIs perspective we observe effects occurring that involve neither time nor space. They do not comport with our bio-sensory experience of reality. How can this be? The one inviolable law, from our antIs perspective, is the existence of a ‘now’ and the consequent flow of time through that moment. But antIs, as we’ve defined it, calls into question this very fundamental experience. And as we’ve seen, the evidence for a flow of time through a ‘now’, outside of an antIs experience, is lacking.
As mentioned earlier, EPR’s mistake was to try to refute a theory built on the antIs experience of reality for an observer. Whatever is observed is made to fit, that is, to describe that observers antIs experience. The very laws and theories we’ve created have done just that, we create them to fit our experience of antIs reality. Their fidelity to antIs reality then becomes irrefutable evidence of the truth of our antIs experience. This again shows the absolute nature of the antIs experience for an observer. But as we have discovered, there is not a single iota of an observers antIs experience that is actual reality. It is all, in total, an interpretation, and not a very accurate interpretation at that. So the quantum theory, and all other ‘successful’ theories, are such, because they fit, closely (but never perfectly), the observers antIs experience. When there are results from our successful theories that are ‘spooky’ and make no sense, we hold firmly to our antIs experience and relegate the nonsensical result to an absurdity, an absurdity that must either be made to comport, somehow, with our antIs reality or else simply ignored while we go about using the theory for our ends. From outside the observers antIs experience, these effects that occur in null space and time are hints, if not evidence itself, breaking through the illusions of antIs reality. They point to the fact that there is no ‘now’ moment and no flow of time.
If time does not flow then nothing in the universe is actually occurring. There is no before or after. The entire universe simply IS. To make sense of such a statement let’s look at it from the antIs perspective. The beginning and the end of the universe exist simultaneously. This is the antIs description of a quantum superposition state. The universe both is and is not at the same moment. Except in a non-antIs universe there are no moments, only Unity with a capital U. This is the totIs universe, totIs reality.
There is no way for an antIs observer to transcend this process and so experience totIs reality. This is because the antIs observer requires this ‘now’ moment. The biologically created antIs reality, with its flow of time, brings into being, through the observers experience, an entire antIs reality and a concomitant antIs universe. As there is no ‘now’ in totIs, the entirety of the universe IS, and what we call ‘time’ has a very different nature. Observed from our antIs experience, it appears that the universe began thirteen point seventy four billion years ago and will last for trillions of years into the future (until its fateful end in the big crunch or big freeze). In the totIs universe (using antIs vocabulary) its beginning and end, along with everything else in the middle, absolutely everything there is, appear instantaneously, in null time.
Hopefully you have been able to maintain your composure while reading the last paragraph. If so you will have noticed the urge to conveniently forget what we’ve discovered when pushed to this limit, that the ENTIRETY of antIs experience is an interpretation of reality, and is, for all intents and purposes, illusory. But our drive to ignore, or worse, to deny this fact, so that we can believe that our antIs experience is reality, is overwhelming. It is a drive as powerful as the survival instinct itself and keeps us blind to the illusory nature of antIs reality.
