THE EXPLORATION OF TIME AND NATURE OF THE HOLOGRAPHIC UNIVERSE

Quantum physics scientists have discovered for more than a decade that the universe is actually a hologram, where in fact nothing of anything in this world is real. Scientists also admit that this model is not digestible; this notion is so radical that it overturns all of our previous belief systems, especially our common sense understanding of matter and time and space.

But scientists believe that one day a new generation will grow, a generation accustomed to holographic thinking; and to make it easier, quantum physics scientists recommend that students in schools learn about paradox from elementary school, because new scientific findings are always full of contradictions.

So that if there will be a new generation who is accustomed to the concept of thinking that the universe is a hologram, then everything that we currently regard as magic or miracle or mystical and superstition will be able to be done by these generations as a natural and usual to do in everyday life.

This includes time travel.

Regarding time exploration, physicists have fundamental questions that become big questions about whether or not time travel is carried out. This question eventually became an endless discussion and debate around the world among quantum physics and mathematics scientists. Most of the world's people have named the big question ...

Great-grandfather paradox.

This great-grandfather paradox is a story of presupposition. Where if someone manages to wander into the past and then decides to kill his own grandfather, then the question is, if he killed his grandfather in the past, then of course the result is that his grandfather will not be able to marry his grandmother, so that his mother's father will not be born, so that this time traveler it would not be possible to be born in this world. Then if he was never born, how could he exist and decide to go back to the past to kill his grandfather. So how could this time travel happen?

Regarding time travel, quantum physics scientists argue that if time travel can be done, there will be several possibilities that will occur when time travel is carried out by a time traveler.

The first possibility (parallel universes):

Will time travel change history or not?

In the film Back to the Future, it is told that the main character travels to the past and changes history which ultimately causes the entire future story of his era to change. In this story, it can be concluded that the future and the past are interconnected and influence each other so that the slightest change that occurs in the past will immediately change the entire history and present and future drastically, this is called the Butterfly Effect theory, which is an example The slightest flutter of a butterfly will affect the entire course of the story of life in the past, present and future.

This is what underlies the question of quantum physics scientists in the form of the great-grandfather paradox. Where scientists see that it will be too like the act of god, or acts of God, where the slightest action we take will directly affect the continuity of life in the present and in the future, which, perhaps this will be very unlikely. it is desired for time travelers to happen, whereby the slightest mistake they make when they visit the past would result in the possibility of deleting their own existence from future lives.

Scientists argue that basically the thing where historical change attempts will also change all life in the future probably only happens in films. Wherefrom the point of view of quantum physics who have found an explanation for why this universe is a hologram, also found that it is possible that this universe also consists of various parallel universes that have different dimensions, where basically the thing that underlies this statement comes from a simple discovery. who discovered that basically an atom can act like matter and like a wave and that an atom will only decide to become a matter or a wave only after we decide to observe the atom so that it can be said that our act of observation decides whether the atom will become a matter or a wave.

This discovery was clarified by another quantum physicist, Schrodinger, with the assumption of an experimental cat that was placed in a closed box filled with poison which would be placed in a bottle where if the bottle leaked the contents of the poison would come out after the bottle cap was supposed to be made of atomic material. specifically, that will be calculated to have a 50:50 chance of breaking at the specified time, so that the bottle cap will leak after the bottle cap material falls.

The question is since the probability that the cap of the poison bottle will leak at the appointed time is 50:50, the probability for the Schrodinger cat in the closed box to be alive or dead at the appointed time is also 50:50. Whereas as long as the box has not been opened, it can be said that the cat in the box is in two conditions simultaneously, namely a living condition and a dead condition, which in reality will only be determined after we decide to open the box and observe its contents.

What does Schrodinger's cat experiment have to do with parallel universes? Just as atoms decide to become matter when before the act of observation is taken we also think that the atoms we are going to observe will become matter, so it is with the cat in the box, the cat will die if when we are going to observe the cat we think that the cat will die, and the cat will live if we think that the cat will live. Then if the cat is alive, what about the reality where the cat dies? According to the understanding of quantum physics, that reality will become its own reality in a parallel universe.

Another example, like this. When a baby is born, what the parents do will determine what kind of person this baby will become, for example when the baby's father is weighing to decide whether he will help his child become a doctor or scientist when the father decides to help his child become a doctor, then the father will make every effort from the time the baby is small until the baby is an adult so that the baby's path to become a doctor can be realized.

Then what about the reality where the father considers helping his son become a scientist? Like atoms and cats in a box, the baby's reality that will become a scientist will not disappear and will become its own reality in a parallel universe, every time the father or the baby makes a choice consideration it will be the forerunner to the realization of another parallel universe. , so that there will be a universe where the baby becomes a doctor, there is a universe where the baby becomes a scientist, there is also a universe where the baby is a soldier, and so on, so that because there is an infinite number of choices that each person makes throughout his life, finally the number of parallel universes is infinite.

What does that have to do with time travel? Say if time travel is possible, then when the time traveler does something to someone in the past, it will not change the future where the time traveler came from, because the changes made by the time traveler in the light age will split. become a new reality in parallel universes. So that the time traveler can carry out his activities in any past without worrying that there is a possibility that what he did in the past will trigger a series of causes and effects which will result in the loss of his own future or even trigger the destruction of the universe.

Even if there is a universe that will be destroyed, at least it is not his universe.

All of this ultimately explains the possibility of future changes that would occur if changes in the past were carried out by the time traveler. Where if the time traveler makes a change in the past, then the change will automatically make the universe divide itself up to form a new, different reality that follows the changes made by the time traveler.

Do not think of it as the process of bacterial cleavage, because the splitting of the reality of the universe takes place at the level of the quantum dimension which is impossible for us to observe and be aware of. So that we ourselves will never be able to know whether our current life actually runs in the original version of the universe or the universe of variants resulting from the division of reality or parallel universes.

So when the time traveler feels back to the future and sees the future has changed, the future that has changed is actually not the future of the universe where the time traveler came from. The changing future that he visited and saw was the future of parallel universes that occurred when he made changes in the past, whereas in the original universe the time traveler his future remained the same and had not changed at all.

The second possibility (Time loop):

The second possibility that may occur when time travel is carried out is, a condition where every attempt to distort history that time travelers try to make is basically part of the course of the flow of history itself which ultimately shapes the future as it is known by time travelers. , so that any attempt by this time traveler to change his future will not be successful.

And it is precisely the actions of this individual time traveler in the light age that actually acts as a trigger for a series of causes and effects from the lamp period to the future that ultimately makes it happen in the future, which the time traveler actually wants to avoid.

This is called the time loop, or time loop, wherefrom the beginning the time traveler from the future is also part of history and takes part in the formation of history as the time traveler already knows. So that the time traveler does not have to worry that the actions he will take will change his future, because whether he knows it or not, whatever he did in the past is part of past history that will shape the future as it is known. by this time traveler. So finally the time traveler does not have to worry that his actions in the past will ultimately destroy the future or the universe in the future.

Examples of this second possibility can be seen in the films Terminator, Loop, Donie Darko, Twelve Monkeys, Planet of the Apes, and others, where any attempt by the time traveler to change the future by changing the past becomes the trigger for the future as he already knew it.

Then the next big question is, given the amount of energy calculated by quantum physicists to carry out time travel, how do you do time travel to the past and into the future? Remembering that the flow of time always points forward?

Remember, that because basically the universe is a hologram when we discuss the time we also have to treat time as we treat various objects in a hologram.

In the hologram, any object, however, looks separate from other objects in the hologram, but basically, that object and other objects are one unit and have the same information, so it can be said that any information we want to know about object A is it's on the hologram, it's also on object B that's on the same hologram.

Likewise, time, past, present, and future, no matter how far apart these three periods are in the span of time, but basically all three of them have and share the same information. It remains how we access the information to make it as broad as possible, either as a provider of information or even as the main key to opening dimensional gates to the past, present, and future.
