The zero universe

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


There are a number of interpretations of the seemingly strange world of quantum mechanics. All versions are mathematically valid and we can’t say or rightly guess which is correct:

  • The “many worlds” interpretation says that, whenever two possibilities exist, then the universe splits and both possibilities live out.
  • The “Copenhagen” interpretation says that no outcome is present until a conscious observer looks in. (This is the most widely accepted view in both the fields of real science and, quite by contrast, new age mysticism).
  • The “pilot wave” interpretation says that there is no ‘weirdness’ and the world is entirely deterministic. Yet to do this it says that there is a little hidden weirdness to the maths. (Though deterministic, this is one of the least favoured by scientists).

There are many more interpretations, but my favourite was recently brought to my attention and it is this:

  • The “zero worlds” interpretation. That the quantum world (that we do not intuitively understand) brought about the classical world that we believe we are within (and so naturally understand). The universe as we see it is classical and so thereby ungraspable as our mind and tools are classical, but the truth we must reach is quantum. That there is no universe at all is a magical perspective and one that my mind and intuition love.

As with my wanderings into Taoism and Vedanta, I very much go for these ideas where there is not even one. Just an infinity at play with no cause or label.

      “As with my wanderings into Taoism and Vedanta, I very much go for these ideas where there is not even one. Just an infinity at play with no cause or label.”

      Actually your conclusion from this doesn’t rationally follow. Believe me I realize how unbelievable my next statement will sound. A year ago I would never have expected it to turn out to be the only consistent and so logical valid position, but if the zero world’s hypothesis actually describes reality than it turns out Judeo-Christianity is answer, which means in all probability Catholicism lives up to its name (Catholic means Universal) and is the one true, i.e. universal, belief (although there is a small chance that the Orthodox were actually correct, but either way it is the single religion of Judeo-Christianity that turns out to be the true religion)…. and by the way the mathematics demonstrates that one world Copenhagen interpertation is actually untenable. We are stuck with either many worlds or zero worlds, and if it is the former than each human being is producing trillions of new universes every second, multiply that by the roughly 7 billion people currently alive on this planet (who knows how many other conscious entities are out there in the universe if we assume the many worlds hyptothesis), multiplied by the 86,400 seconds ticking by each day, year in and year out and we realize that “many” worlds is quite the misleading name. While the mathematics allows this interpertation there is absolutely no other reason to believe that so many alternative universes are being churned out each moment in time, which in the end just leaves Catholicism.

      Again I would have been very shocked by this answer myself a year ago, but I now call Catholicism the most rationally defensible world view I’ve ever encountered, and my background is in the philosophy of science and epistomology and I was long standing practicing Buddhist in a Tibetan lineage. Ultimately however after 20 years of studying Mahayana Buddhist philosophy I found it suffered from the same metaphysics inconsistences as materialism, and this is what leads me to feel so certain that your own conclusion fails to validly follow.
