So your believe that because it's physics...

...that the information is somehow physically connected to what it describes...

Also, your link has absolutely nothing to do with this issue.

The link is about the concept of information in the subject of physics.

The discussion is about information physically represented in reality by words or numbers, it doesn't matter what the subject is.

Your missing the point entirely. The experiment is not one of squiggly lines and the abstract information those squiggly lines represent. There are no quantum physic experiments dealing with the written works of Shakespeare. Read up more on the experiment and tell me if that's still what you think it's about.

Information in physics is just another way to say this particle has different properties than this particle, or this interaction is different than that interaction.

The information your hung up on is the pretty squiggly lines that say this thing is an atom and this atom is a hydrogen atom because we define it as such. That type of information does not exist in reality itself for that particular thing. That's called abstract information. Our pretty squiggly lines the define things in a more meaningful manner simply do not exist all on their own.

You can call that hydrogen atom a tree for instance. It's an entirely different set of squiggly lines, but as long as we both agree that the grouping of letter in tree represent that thing, then that's what that thing is to us. What we call it, how we define it, how we represent it never changes it's actual physical information or properties if you will.

Okay...so you seem to understand this concept because you are explaining it back to me.

Now just take it one step further.

Deleting the measurement effects the results of the experiment.

Deleting squiggly lines (raw abstract inherently meaningless information)...

...changes the physical observable results of the experiment.


So what is the ONLY connection between the abstract information and the concrete results?

Consciousness.

That's not what is occurring here. You won't find that in the experimental setup. There is no step that says run experiment once, print results, white out certain sections of results, run experiment again and get an entirely new set of results. All the while, no where in the setup or experiment, or even the mythical white out results process does the mind have a direct physical sans body role.

Find a scientific article that explains the process scientifically in laymans terms. I've seen one before a while back ago so I know they do indeed exist.

Your analogy is wrong. You white out the data and look back at the results of the physically complete experiment.

Do experiment + don't measure slit = wave function
Do experiment + measure slit = wave function collapses

Do experiment + measure slit + delete information = wave function

This doesn't even make any sense...

The consciousness factor comes from comprehending the significance of deleting raw abstract data and it changing the experimental results of a physically complete experiment.

Read up on the experiment some more. No human mind physically deletes anything. Everything that happens, happens within the experimental setup. The only thing we see at the end is the results, the final conclusion at the utter completion of every event that takes place within the experiment. No one is whiting out the printed results and seeing different results printed out the next time. That IS NOT what happens!


This doesn't even make any sense...

God damn... You don't even make any sense! You have this erroneous notion that we're doing the deletion process intentionally. We're not, everything that occurs happens within the experiment. We see the final results ONLY.

Of course it is intentionally...

It was purposely designed that way.

You have this erroneous notion that the mind has to be built into the experiment in order for it to be a factor. (even though the human mind is already part of the experiment inherently)

This actual deletion process is not the point. The point is removing raw information from reality effects the physical results of a complete experiment.

Also, they have done this same experiment where the results are sent to a politician miles a away in envelopes. He randomly destroys one of the envelopes and it has the same effect.

So your wrong.

OK, I think your not understanding what a physics experiment is. A physics experiment is an experiment that helps us understand how things work, in the case of this experiment it tells us how subatomic particles behave and how they behave differently than macroscopic objects. What this experiment was not setup to do or show nor does show is that the human mind affects reality. This was never it's intention and never shown or implied in it's results. This aspect is something you've heard from a sensationalized media source. It DOES NOT EXIST in the science itself.

Read the damn experiments setup again, explain it step by step to me.

No, I'm not wrong. You can't understand simple English, that's the issue here. Well, no... You can understand simple English, but your getting your information from sensationalized bullcrap instead of from the science itself. That's the real issue here.

What the experiment was setup to do is irrelevant.

Use your brain to interpret the results.

Deleting raw abstract information changes the physical results of an experiment.

1. The data is somehow connected to the physical reality it describes (wrong)
2. consciousness is a factor (undeniable)

A Double-Slit Quantum Eraser Experiment
grad.physics.sunysb.edu...

"This experiment uses the phenomena of interference, produced by light incident on a double slit, to investigate the quantum mechanical principle of complementarity between the wave and particle characteristics of light. Using a special state of light, Walborn and his coworkers created an interference pattern, made a "which-way" measurement which destroyed the interference, and then erased the "which-way" marker, bringing the interference back. This experiment clearly displays the way in which nature is counterintuitive on the quantum scale and makes it clear that our ways of thinking based on our everyday experiences in the classical world are often completely inadequate to understand the quantum world."


Delayed Erasure

"Next the erasure measurement is performed. Before photon p can encounter the polarizer, s will be detected. Yet it is found that the interference pattern is still restored. It seems photon s knows the "which-way" marker has been erased and that the interference behavior should be present again, without a secret signal from photon p. "

Just wanted to do a bit of cheer-leading here and commend you on your efforts of educating the depraved.


I know it's not easy when the person you're responding to is constantly deferring to emotional language and posting things like

All that's being pointed out is that the human mind is an integral part of the experimental process, ie the experimental process wouldn't even exist without the human mind, and yet you are facing a person who wants to deprive themselves of whatever the human mind can actually accomplish and ignore its demonstrated effects, all in the name of an archaic materialist zealousness.


I would be pointing it in post after post too if Sirnex hadn't started ignoring me early on for me asking him for sources for his claims. So he showed then and there that he isn't really interested in science, only in what he already believes, and you just have to take his word for it or else he throws a temper tantrum, kind of like he is doing now by refusing to acknowledge the importance of human intelligence throughout the whole experimental process.


Anyway I just thought it would be warranted to break up all the gray, black and white, with a little blue.
Carry on....

And that's all I need to know. You're saying you simply do not care what the experiment is about, period. You don't care about the science of the physics it was trying to discover. In that case there is no point in continuing, you've deemed it utterly irrelevant.

Aww come on Sirnex, you're just looking for any way out of the debate at this point because you know you have no case.

What the experiment was set up to prove does not mean any other results than those expected are automatically null and void. That's why you do experiments in the first place, to test ideas, and compare them to how reality actually works.


You don't care about actual science and physics, and you demonstrated this the minute you started ignoring me for asking you for sources! Instead you threw a bunch of temper tantrums and started ignoring me.


Why don't you just go ahead and found your own religion where materialism rules and you can freely spend your time mocking people who are actually up-to-date with scientific advancements? That will at least put you into the proper category of religion, where you can stop pretending to be using anything related to logic or science, because you're not, and never were.

Why lie? Does it make you feel better about yourself? I did indeed post a few links here and there, in reply to you and to others. Unless you have a mod account or are close friends with a mod and have had my posts edited (have not checked) then those links are still there for anyone to go back and verify that you are just lying about that aspect. The reason I decided to ignore you was because of your many deflections and straw man arguments about hands and arms, also completely explained in one of my posts as the reason for ignoring you.

So why lie? It accomplishes nothing else than for you to establish what kind of person you are to others who have been keeping pace with this discussion.

bsbray11 already said this...but it completely ridiculous to say that an experiment can only discover what the experimenters set out to discover...

This was never about the science anyway...this is about you inability to deal with the implications of the experiment.

Rationalize it any way you want but deleting the data changed the experimental results.

Measurement does not collapse the wave function, the availability of information to a conscious observer does.

Consciousness is a factor...it isn't that big a deal...

"no physical affect upon anything"

Wrong, because it controls the function of my muscles.

"nor is controllable to any degree"

Wrong, because I can control it, to control the function of my muscles.

And that doesn't necessarily mean its usefulness stops there, and of course the human EM field is responsible for more than that. So any claims that that's all it can do, would need scientific validation.

That's the first I've heard of this, but it would just go to show that yes, there is a real, physical connection between the Sun (or any given star) and humans. That connection might lose relevance with distance, just as gravity does, but it would be wrong to say that other stars' gravitational pulls don't also exist. I remember a certain someone in this thread trying to mock us all earlier by talking about how we aren't physically connected to stars in any way and etc. Everything influences everything as far as I can tell, and until otherwise is proven to me.
