Cosmic Intent

Pure Probability, Fake Probability, and Cosmic Intent

 

Quantum Physics is revolutionizing how physics describes nature.  Some of its experiments are producing stunning results.  In quantum physics, common sense seems to go out the window, and even down the rabbit hole.  Is the universe really that weird?

 

At the heart of quantum physics (or quantum mechanics) is the principle of uncertainty, and this in turn involves quantum probability.  QM seems to say that everything in the universe is based on chance.  In an infinite quantum multiverse, chance alone would create universes populated by clowns riding unicycles, and every coin flip in them would always land as heads.  If you think I’m making this up, look up what the premier physicists tell us—that in the infinite multi-verse, everything that can happen, will happen, and must happen an infinite number of times.

 If this is true, then the universe is the ultimate absurdity, a cosmic madhouse with no rules except eternal rolls of dice.  Since we cannot lead productive lives based on the belief that all is futility, then we should seek a more well-grounded worldview.

 

This is where the concept of Cosmic Intent comes in.  But first, we must dispel the notion of randomness, since if randomness rules, then intent is irrelevant.

 

There are two kinds of probability, pure and fake.  Since fake is easier, let’s discuss that first.

 

Fake probability (called pseudo-randomness) is best demonstrated by using a normal deck of standard playing cards.  If you look at the top card, you do not have to guess what it is, but otherwise, you do.  Nature already “knows,” so to speak, what the top card is, but you don’t, until you see it.  Your guess has one chance in 52 of being correct.

 

Now for the hard part.  Quantum probability, or pure probability, does not work like that.  Quantum cards would be like dice.  While the dice are rolling, they have no specific result.  Only when they come to rest do the results become certain.  In principle, in the quantum deck of cards, no card has a specific identity until it is seen, or perceived.  This is pure probability.

 

In quantum physics, a radioactive atom will decay at a truly random time, within the parameters of its half-life.  Even if you could look inside the atom, and see everything that is happening there, you still could not predict with certainty when the atom will decay.  Inside the atom, pure probability rules.  Not even nature “knows” when the atom will decay.

 

Fake randomness only seems to be random, because it is our ignorance that makes us uncertain.  Pure randomness is truly random, truly uncertain.  The difference is all the difference in the universe.

 

But what if we can show that randomness requires intent?  We can show that.  Let’s start with a trick question.  If I roll one die, what is the chance that it will land a six?  One in six?  Yes, but only if the die has six sides.  If it has four sides, there is no chance, and if it has twelve sides, there is one chance in twelve.

The key point is that dice do not have random numbers of sides.  They are designed and manufactured with a specific intent and purpose.

 

Randomness in the universe is like that.  The universe, like dice, has specific parameters within which chance must operate.  The universe, like dice, is intelligently designed and created for a specific purpose.

 

We can call this principle, Cosmic Intent, but we could also call it, God’s will.
