A Quick Bit of 'fizicks P4
"Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.
"If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough"
T. S. Eliot"
A Quick Bit of 'fizicks. A Quick Bit of 'fizicks. p4 - Interpretation 7
"Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them." A.E
Albert Einstein

7. Many Worlds Interpretation (Hugh Everett III)
Ignored for years after its appearance in 1957, the many worlds interpretation has gained in popularity in recent decades. Sometimes called the “many universes” interpretation, it postulates that every time a measurement is made, all the possible outcomes actually occur in different branches of reality, creating a multitude of parallel universes. Actually, Everett thought of it as more like the observer splitting into different clones who follow the different possible measurement outcomes. In any case, it’s weird.
"For the record: Quantum mechanics does not deny the existence of objective reality. Nor does it imply that mere thoughts can change external events. Effects still require causes, so if you want to change the universe, you need to act on it." Krauss

"To see a world in a grain of sand, and heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palms of your hand, and eternity in an hour."
William Blake
"Science is imagination in a straight jacket" Richard Feynman
9. Stochastic evolution interpretation (many versions)
This one perhaps isn't strictly an interpretation of quantum mechanics itself, because it changes the math. In ordinary quantum mechanics, the wave function (or state vector) “evolves,” changing over time in a perfectly predictable way. In other words, the odds of different results can change, and you can predict exactly how they will change, up until the time a measurement is made. But several physicists have suggested over the years that the evolution itself can change in a random (or stochastic) way causing it to collapse all by itself. Presumably this collapse process would occur very rapidly for large (macroscopic) objects and slowly for subatomic particles. Nobel laureate Steven Weinberg recently examined this approach in a paper available at arXiv.org.
Feynman once said, 'Science is imagination in a straitjacket.' It is ironic that in the case of quantum mechanics, the people without the straitjackets are generally the nuts." L. Krauss
(Warning: Summaries below do not reflect all the subtleties of the various interpretations, which have often been modified over time by supporters or even the original authors. I’m just conveying some of the flavor.

There is some quantum randomness here lol)") - 'fizicks

9. Bohmian Mechanics (David Bohm)
I don’t really like this one very much, but it has many fans and deserves to be mentioned. Developed in the 1950s by Bohm, based on earlier views from Louis de Broglie, Bohmian mechanics describes particles flying around as guided by “pilot waves.” Those waves tell particles where to go. Supposedly this approach turns physics back to determinism, avoiding the probabilities that Einstein condemned by saying “God does not play dice.” Since experiments have ruled out “hidden variables” for enforcing determinism, Bohmian mechanics requires a form of action at a distance (or “nonlocality”). Einstein didn’t like that either. It’s also hard to see how Bohmian mechanics would predict any experimental difference from the predictions of standard quantum mechanics. Shortly before he died, Einstein said he wasn't impressed with the Bohmian interpretation. “That way seems too cheap to me,” Einstein wrote in a letter to physicist Max Born.
Number 9 will be in part 3 as soon as ready...

-Brady: "Hello 'fizicks, how are you?" "I am told Quantum mechanics has a number of different interpretations? Can you explain to any non-physicists, or perhaps just for me,what these multiple interpretations are and what it all could mean?" Thanks 'fizicks.
"Prediction is very difficult, especially about the future" Neils Bohr.
-'fizicks : "Dozens of interpretations of quantum mechanics have been developed over the years. Most of them attempt to address what happens when an observation or measurement is made on a quantum system. The mathematical formula known as the wave function (or state vector) describing the state of a system gets reset when a measurement is made, and the multiple possibilities that the math describes appear to “collapse” into one tangible result. A quantum “interpretation” tries to explain why this collapse happens — or whether it happens at all. And some interpretations concern themselves with whether the wave function itself is physically real or merely something mathematical.

Your favourite colour, is now white! (p1)
Part 1
"To lead you to an overwhelming question" T.S Elliot.
Your favourite colour seems like a simple, subjective choice - it isn't even a choice in fact. Perhaps red has been your colour, the one you selected as better than the rest, maybe since childhood. Well, I want to argue that you are wrong. You actually may be wrong in principle, or perhaps just disgree with me in philosophical practice. I say we all should pragmatically prefer white over the other colours. My position is this: White > 1 000 000 (+/-) colours that humans can detect or differentiate.

I say we all should pragmatically prefer white over the other colours. My position is this: White > 1 000 000 (+/-) colours that humans can detect or differentiate.
So, White is the best colour, scientifically it is perhaps preferable to choose this option. (only after, or if, I can convince you of a philosophical assumption - an assumption that is the linchpin behind "the white position", and cannot be proven, only reasoned, or argued for) - so white is better for any cosmic subjective colour connoisseur (that we are) and as viewed objectively from science, as objective as I can be, or as a subject can be...
I intend to not just argue, or worse, simply annouce this claim as truth - like a dogmatic demagogue (sadly I cannot do this like the preacher or dictator). But rather I hope to appeal to reason, science and a "more is better" kind of logic. So I will offer scientific evidence and a few philosophical assumptions to entice you to change your choice (if white was not chosen already). Actually I do not even offer you a choice, it must be white. I offer an ultimatum - red or white? white is better by far...As I will show.
Brady. Thanks. 3fs.org

"Magic" Mushrooms! P2
The magic in the mind and the magic in the mushroom.
Part I: http://bradysharrett.blogspot.com.au/2014/10/magic-mushrooms.html
I am often asked and then laboriously must explain the empirical evidence behind a mushroom tattoo -I start with the ankle ink of the mushroom and end with G-protein coupled receptors in your brain... my tattoo is not just a pictorial representation of the profound but a modern parable. In which the moral is clear and illustrated by molecules of serotonin and not mushrooms per se but their psilocin molecules which their DNA is built to make. Psilocin is like a neurotransmitter, one we could really use, but cannot make as we lack the genes for the protein which makes it....but I know a species that has just the genes that fit!
I endeavour to convince people of the rational reasons behind getting a blue mushroom cluster tattooed onto my ankle - I say doubting me is reasonable, but to trust that I represented the science accurately, using the tattoo as a mere bait to teach, and then to doubt the science is a felony of ignorance. To not affirm my position after you trust or research for yourself the information then you also commit a misdemeanor of wilful ignorance: my position is that a mushroom can and is - and I argue has been demonstrated empirically - to be a medicine of unknown value and the closest and best tool in our tool kit for changing the software of the serotonergic driven human mind.
![]() |
PSILOCIN |
![]() |
SEROTONIN! |
Behaviours are related to our minds and our subjective experience. Feelings such as addiction and depression are often largely determined by serotonin. Serotonin is the brain chemical that the mushrooms own analogue of serotonin: called psilocin works on. So psilocin can reboot the brain, in a four hour software upload-the software being a psilocin mushroom and result in new mindsets that are not possible using traditional tricks. Why? because we are not using the brain to change the brain (this is serotonin treating itself), psilocin is effectively hacking into the serotonin receptors and doing this hacking correctly appears to be a more effective treatment for many long term mental issues due to psilocin being an external "neurochemiscal" that does things serotonin just is not made to acheive (it is two carbon atoms short after all).
You name the mind or mental issue and psilocin could help - under correct direction and advice. It is nothing short of a 'panacea' in the rarely funded experiments to treat the worst mental crisis's or troubled minds.
I submit that if you love your mind, which is largely dependent on serotonin and serotonin receptors (e.g.G-protein coupled receptors for serotonin, that still win Nobel prizes for new research), seeing as psilocin is two carbon atoms different from serotonin many mental enigmas can be solved by it's use, and I will argue a mushroom that grows in darkness can be the best light to get our species with all it's crazed minds, irrational beliefs and existential problems in order, faster, more effectively and non-toxically too.
Psilocin works due to its likeness to serotonin, and serotonin's role as the linchpin in a neurochemical soup that's sum total is your human mind. Somehow psilocin can activate G-proteins in serotonin receptors (why serotonin receptors are capable of such lockpicking is not known), the fact remains that hacking into your consciousness and changing how you view the world is the key to its medicnal use. After all your perspective is everything, as conscious creatures it determines nearly everything.
I seem like a lunatic to some claiming so much and offering my word and a mushroom as evidence, however my word is not what I offer, I offer science and a self testable hypothesis. Psilocin is a serotonin agonist fact, studies show ridiculously effective data fact, I want you to doubt me fact- I don't want you to doubt the science fact. I can give you the rare studies that are funded as proof of my positions truth, the limit on how effective psilocin is remains to be seen - because it rests with how much serotonin receptors can be manipulated into new mind sets.
Find me evidence to the contrary if you doubt the science. If you try psicolin do your homework as it is not a hobby but a self actualizing device, manipulating serotonin in ways allowable by nature but "not meant to be" is still non toxic, but is radically life changing if done correctly.
I also invite you to see the reasoning behind why a mushroom would be a great medicine for the human mind rather than a toxic toadstool I am hyping up.
Serotonin and Psilocin - DNA makes the proteins that make these molecules, one is found in the highest of the sentient apes, the other in a blue mushroom...
I could not tattoo to my ankle a mushroom of psilocin after seeing how much one can change in a few hours personally. The science only affirmed my subjective bias. If one sets a goal BEFORE they take the mushroom software which does strange things to serotonin 2a and 1a G-protein coupled receptors. You are literally brushing up against neuroscientific frontiers of true ignorance. G proteins are actually waiting someone to show how a molecule is interpreted as a feelingvia these proteins and so on like an onion of mystery.. so win a Nobel prize for your own imagination. Or fund MAPS who will win one with a mushroom!
