Beyond c: Wormholes into the Quantum Lightscape
Ten years ago, I began to engage in a set of thought exercises to do with the speed of light. I imagined what reality may look like were light traveling at constant speeds other than c — the known 186,000 miles per second in a vacuum. I then described these different realities in simple mathematical terms and combined these mathematical spaces to develop a cosmology.
This Cosmology of Light is a quantum cosmology.
This Cosmology of Light is a quantum cosmology, and the Big Bang is conceptualized as a quantum event, materializing a vast amount of subtle information existing in the different mathematical spaces. When light “slows” down or rather is projected to c, quanta becomes the bridge mechanism that materializes as subtle seeds that create the granularity of Space. Time is the maturation of the subtle possibility into material actuality. Energy is recognized in the transformation from the subtle to material. Gravity is the arrangement between seed and seed.
Neither being a quantum physicist nor a quantum computer scientist, that simple series of thought experiments acted as a conceptual wormhole in which my perception and articulation of the quantum realm were different. This basis allowed me the freedom to express myself differently, as captured by the following graphic, and what started off as an avid mathematical articulation in a series of 10 Cosmology of Light books became a series of peer-reviewed technical IEEE and Springer Nature articles, a series of articles for Forbes, culminating in a book on quantum technology to be published by Springer in a few months.
The conceptual wormholes have yielded quite a number of hypotheses — articulated in the publications — to do with unseen patterns at the quantum level that architect layers of matters and life, of simple fractal patterns that become more sophisticated where matter yields to life, of a brand of quantum intelligence that shows itself from simple to more complex form from atom to molecule to cell and beyond, to an inexhaustible quantum-based energy source, to whole new possibilities for quantum technologies, and alternative architectures for quantum computation.
The following graphic focuses on some technological implications, and I highlight one aspect to do with quantum objects because, technologically, it summarizes a key difference between existing quantum computing architectures and the architecture I have drafted in the book Pioneering New Avenues in Quantum Technology. Basically, it is in QIQD-based technology that it is assumed that there is some implicit meaning in any quantum object, and it becomes the task of technology to extract that meaning.
Of course, the quantum framework that surfaces from the Cosmology of Light is different in many aspects, and here I share a comparison highlighting some differences between QIQD, Copenhagen Interpretation, Many-Worlds Interpretation, Bohmian Mechanics, and QBism.
