The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

If you have an interest in quantum to classical existential emergence, this article is a must-read as it addresses a number of key issues. Here's an example ...

QuantaMagazine: The molecules in an apple are described by quantum mechanics, and photons of light bouncing off the surface molecules get entangled with them. Those photons carry information about the molecules to your eyes — say, about the redness of the apple’s skin, which stems from the quantum energy states of the molecules that constitute it.

quantamagazine.org - Are the mysteries of quantum mechanics beginning to dissolve

That’s been my thought for quite some time, perhaps owing to prior exposure to the thinking of Zurek and others.

It’s generally accepted that photons, the so-called ‘light particles’ that inform us of our universal environment, undergo no change between their emission and absorption events, thereby enabling them to faithfully convey the state of affairs at scales ranging from quantum to cosmic. Photons represent entanglement between emitter and receptor regardless of their spatial separation.

To my mind this raises a question as to the atemporality of experience across all scales. I regard experience of existence as ubiquitously emergent within infinite potential.

This article goes on to meaningfully clarify the nature of interactive phenomena at a quantum scale. Well worth the time and attention.
