Quantum computer processor success

[Karls48 (Karl)]

Long time ago I have read some article that proposed some events in the present will have a profound or even catastrophic consequences in the future. But most of the events in present, although of about same magnitude, will have basically none or minimum effect on the future. That led me to start thinking about if the future is determined or free choice. I have come to believe that future of physical universe is completely different concept to future in the therms of what we call intelligence (us or other intelligent beings). The future of physical universe is determinate by its present state. In intelligent scenario the future is determinate by free choice. Some of those free choices will lead to the " intelligent future" to be same or similar to the physical future. But some of those free choices will result in the future that will be radically different to what physical future would be.
Can anyone explain me role (you may laugh but it is perfectly valid question) of Donald Duck in quantum mechanics? The information about something that never existed in the physical universe is occupying sphere of about 50 light year radiuses and spreading at speed of light. It is now part of physical universe, but it is a intellectual construct of the intelligence and got nothing to do with physical universe.

Anyhow, all that beside. Trevor asked if the quantum computer could pick up Lotto number. During all that thinking I was wandering if there is some kind resonance between present and the future. By that I mean if some kind of calculation in present could provide results of outcome in the future. Based on my believe that physical future is determined by present, it may be possible in very limited scope of possible outcomes to find present fundamental state and by calculating future state come to the future outcome. I had selected Oz Lotto for my experiment. I did write program in Visual Basic that (borrowing some algorithm from cryptology) that produced repeatable random numbers for any given alphanumeric input. That gave me ouput of 7 numbers between 1 and 45. Those numbers were checked against all past results and the results of getting any prize were displayed in numerical form and as graphic. By using different inputs (from my date of birth to my dogs name) for random numbers generator I was able to determinate which input string is most resonant with future Oz Lotto numbers. At that time I was using Pentium 100 or maybe 486 processor and from memory I was able to check only about 50 0000 calculations per 24 hours. Plus program in Visual Basic1 was not exactly fastest way how to do calculations. Therefore number of inputs in the search for resonance was very small – about 25. Even with this limited number of inputs the trends become visible – the worst one had only one hit and the best one had one hit (minor prize) every seven weeks. The mathematicians in this forum will argue that given sufficient time all the results will average itself and there will be no preferential outcome. That may be true but I got two objections to this.
1.) I’m only interested in the results in limited time span (my life).
2.) Given sufficient time any result of any statistical calculation will equal to 0 or 1 depending on fate of the universe.
Anyhow, I have played Oz Lotto for two years based on outcome of the best results for "resonance". During that time period I have lost $114 on the outlay of $745. I wonder I my results were different if I was using much wider variety of inputs and those were validated by much longer past results, as it would be in doing same experiment today.

Wow, difficult question, but I think I get what you're saying.

I think it's safe to say most people know the quantum version of Young's Double Slit Experiment. I say 'quantum version' as the original experiment used a light source, trillions of photons, not a single electron at a time in the modern version.

Anyway, if you don't, a cartoon with the basics in URL'd down the bottom.

After you refreshed the experiment in your memory, what do you think might happen if all the data was recorded onto a disc, and that disc was only analysed if a future coin toss was say 'Heads' - would that change the experiment? In simple terms, could a coin toss tomorrow affect an event today??? Quantum mechanics, the latest stuff, is telling us that it does happen, in quoting a scientist from a New Scientist Magazine article on time, called 'Time Wars', is that "information is leaking back to us from the future". So tommorrow's coin toss outcome is already factored in, but not known so freedom is preserved. OR, perhaps today's events are processed tomorrow, and then sent back, same thing really.

Personally, I have another theory, and it involves something called a 'Calabi Yau', and with it, there is no abserdity, no nonsense, no time dilemma, does not conflict with special relativity (Local/Non-Local), and allows us to think of quantum mechanics in classical terms.

It's basic, and a cool cartoon, but the basics are there. Forget what he says about the mysterious 'Observer' though, that's a minefield.
