#Zoomposium with Professor Dr. #Gerd #Ganteför: "The enigmatic fabric of our #reality and the limits of #physics"
The "Zoomposium" interview published here on my science blog and on the Youtube channel jointly operated with Axel Stöcker ("Die Großen Fragen") pursues the goal of exploring the "metaphysics of physics", i.e. the "limits of physics" once more in more detail with our questions to Professor Dr. Gerd Ganteför, and in doing so also to address our "possible reality".
The interview was a lot of fun for all of us, as you can probably see. Therefore we also hope that the fun and entertainment value of such "tricky questions" will not come too short and that the mood of "cheerful science" may also jump over to our inclined viewers. As a small "appetizer" our question catalog to the interview should serve here already once. The answers will of course be given in the interview.
Interview questions:
1. Prof. Ganteför, in your new book "Das rätselhafte Gewebe unserer Wirklichkeit und die Grenzen der Physik" (Westend Verlag, 2023) you go to the limits of physics.
● Could you perhaps explain to us the "enigmatic fabric of our reality" using the example of the "participatory universe" (Wheeler), and in doing so, address the new role of the "observer" in (quantum) physics experiments?
2. In your YouTube video "The discovery of the IMMATERIAL? | #7 The enigmatic fabric of the
Reality" you point out that modern physics may only be able to represent a small part of reality because it is based on basic materialistic assumptions.
● What does the "immaterialistic part" of modern physics look like to you?
● In your view, to what extent would "quantum physics information conservation" have to lead to a rethinking or paradigm shift?
3. another YouTube video "INFORMATION CONSERVATION | #4 and COMPUTER SIMULATION | #5" deals with the aspects of "time reversal invariance" in quantum physical equations (e.g., "Schrödinger equation") and the "quantization of reality."
● Does this mean that the ideas of a "directed time" in the form of a "time arrow" is possibly outdated and perhaps needs a "new metaphysics"?
To what extent could "computer simulations" on a quantum computer perhaps lead to further results in this respect?
4. You mention in one of your videos Anton Zeilinger, who e.g. researches on the topic of "quantum teleportation" and received the Nobel Prize in 2022 for his results on the related "entanglement".
● Could you imagine that this basic research might one day find application in "beaming a` la Enterprise" ("Scotty, beam me up!")?
