hi I’m going to start off with a
personal story since I was a little kid
I was always keen on helping through
solving problems my earliest memory was
when I was fourth grade and me and my
sister were in a village house with my
grandparents and it was winter I have to
mention that my sister meant the world
to me
so her happiness was my everything the
only amusement my sister had that winter
were the Christmas lights as ornaments
and she was so keen of them one day the
lights broke and my sister started
crying well note that it was a really
really important task for me to make her
happy and I didn’t know what to do
but I was really determined to help her
out because you know seeing your best
friend’s smile like that is the most
precious thing in the world so I acted
quickly I plugged off the Christmas
lights I took a knife in one hand I took
the controller in the other hand I
screwed up with the knife that tiny
screws I took the cap off and I saw on
the board a wire that was broken it was
off of the board and I tried to think
quickly of how can I fix this and I saw
this long metal a sort of a poker for
the fire and I put it in the fireplace
and it got too orange so when it turned
orange it took it off and I soldered the
wire on the board
I put the cap back on I screwed the tiny
screwdrivers with a knife I plugged it
in and it worked and it was really
remarkable to me and on that day I knew
I was born to do this
make people content by improving and
fixing things with solving problems so
my sister that they
awaken our specific driving me that felt
almost instinctive for well to become a
scientist and an engineer it was crucial
to be that person and to have that
curiosity for problem solving around the
sister with a terminal disease called
muscular dystrophy unfortunately I lost
my sister when she was 16 and I was 18
and I was crushed I was devastated
however despite the abundant pain
incredible amazing and unbelievable
things started happening to me on a
specific date 14th of April the day of
her birthday now I always fell on the
autistic skeptical side of the belief
system and after her loss I tried to
this day to explain everything through
pure scientific evidence and I always
argue that it’s merely a coincidence
that it’s only in my head that I made
this events on 14th of April to sound so
incredible
just because parts of me miss her
terribly and although I’m devoted to
skepticism I couldn’t help but wonder if
there’s a link from the future to the
present and the present to the past
because she knew all of my passions and
everything I’ve ever dreamed of and
somehow weirdly after her passing many
of my dreams came true precisely on 14th
of April when I strongly felt her
presence and while she was alive when I
was with her I was constantly thinking
of the horror that the future will bring
and what kind of emotional void with her
inevitable passing leave me with I was
paralyzed from fear because I knew that
the reality will hit me stronger than
the fear itself and I should appreciate
her while she’s here and now it almost
feels like my reality this present
somehow come
for the future pain I was preoccupied
with back then again rewarding me with
the presence and realizations of my
dreams so it just hurts less but no
matter what’s the instinct of one’s self
our good scientists should be aware that
without implementing the sceptical
scientific method even intuitions about
about our own intuitions are just as
likely to be wrong as our intuitions
themselves because our perception as
human beings is really narrow it’s just
so limited so I couldn’t handle myself
but tests and research if my
subconsciousness justifies my instincts
or if somehow this bedazzling idea that
i kept repeating over and over in my
mind made any sense although that
teenage of Dia of mine was really absurd
in real life it did guide me to find
something really interesting on the
atomic level I stumbled upon something
called retro causality and I started
following amazing theoretical physicists
and researchers such as Ken Martin Hugh
price
Matthew lifer and Emily atom as well as
others who were also trying to make a
better sense of quantum physics
considering the possibility that the
future can influence the present and the
present can influence the past now here
comes the hard part just made a little
bit easier raise hands if you’re
interested in quantum physics okay well
firstly in order to understand what I’m
talking about let’s tackle and simplify
down something called entanglement
entanglement is a term used in quantum
theory to describe the way that
particles of energy or matter can become
correlated to predictably interact with
each other regardless of how apart they
are the experiments that show this are
very strange and really hard to
interpret even Einstein called them
spooky action at a distance
most interpretations of these
experiments lead you to think that there
is either weird action at a distance
which means that the particles are
somehow influencing each other even
wonder seller separated by large
distances in way that cannot be
explained by any known mechanism or that
is no free will just no free will at all
but luckily there’s a third option that
can get rid of this weird action at a
distance and can say free will and you
guessed what’s it
it’s called retrocausality although a
very appealing concept let’s clarify
what retrocausality really is it doesn’t
mean that signals can be just
communicating from the future to the
past such signaling will be forbidden
even in a retro castle theory
duty to do to thermodynamic reasons
instead it means that when an experiment
that chooses the measuring settings in
which to measure a particle that
decision can influence the properties of
that particle or another particle in the
past even before the experimenter made
its choice in other words a decision
maybe the present can influence the past
the fact that due to my sister I came to
this knowledge is soothing and it really
satisfies my preferences instincts and
beliefs it’s quite convenient for me
isn’t it even in intangible theories I
was making connections with my sister or
my brain was doing it for example when I
discovered that physicists in the
Netherlands performed quantum
entanglement theories using electrons in
diamonds located at labs far enough
apart to confirm that no hidden signals
could be influencing the results I was
making this connection again in short if
you think that everything exists in
space and time and there is no action at
a distance or no faster-than-light
influences to that it follows that some
hidden variables at the start of these
experiments have to be correlated with
the
Spira mental choices that we make near
the end of the experiment now if you
focus on the picture you can see that
the labs are really far apart and
they’re not even the speed a lot if the
speed of light can interact and core and
mix with the experiment based on
research like that it’s possible that
quantum weirdness is you to hidden retro
causal influences and if so then there
is really a new link between the present
and the past so retro cars already saves
freewill but also doesn’t discount the
future as much as one normally does
it’s also possible at least in my mind
that after discovering studying and
understanding this my imaginative brain
tried to make cute connections comparing
the sister bond between the two of us to
the two intentional particles
corresponding or correlating it to two
people who start out start out life
together and then end up in different
places and yet there’s still some sort
of connection between between them at a
distance have you ever felt this this
vast connection with somebody although
very far away I know I have my brain can
simply draw an analogy between those two
and ten entangled particles and between
the two sisters her and me in
entanglement there are surprising
connections between the particles and
even if they’re after they are separated
those connections can spend different
times as well but when you find out
something about one particle you find
something about the other two even if
it’s far away in space and time now if
retro causality is correct then choices
made today can influence hidden
variables that existed years ago boom my
brain just made another connection with
my sister I could talk about things that
I never knew about my sister that I wish
I asked her but I never did I can
compare to the hidden variables at the
start of the entanglement experiment so
maybe that way there’s still a way to
learn something or from my
sister even now however this is in fact
distorted reality for us playing
three-dimensional human beings and the
skeptic the scientists in me can’t seem
to help but ask if entanglement
phenomena are just the closest thing we
have to reproductive all magic so far
because even physicists can’t agree as
to what’s really going on it’s spooky
action in the distance is it super
determinism of our choices or is it
retro causality there are many fights
over this topic and many researches
state different things so in
circumstances like this when every
explanation Ettore option seems
unacceptable or incomplete or not full
or complete a good skeptic should force
its nature and really try to try to
train the skepticism but inward
decomposing towards our strongest
intuitions like all of those childish
childish teenaged ideas of mine that
were usually crumbled in front of pure
tested scientific facts and repetitive
conclusion we can implement that this
can be put in real life as well we can
implement this in real life as hormonal
heavily influenced somewhat limited
human beings we have many distorted
realities we are confused with one
herbal unpredictable and we often tend
to go to our one only truth and that
narrows our views however in fact one
let me use this moment to call to action
you don’t need to be of theoretical
physicists to seek for the truth and try
to improve the world explore more tests
listen to both sides of
rectify find all the evidence and then
recheck it again give chances to new
approaches new views and new theories
use the skeptic scientific method and
just don’t go with your gut don’t trust
your own instincts don’t prioritize the
first offered explanation and don’t
prioritize come from comforting
convenient explanations keep an open
mind because change of side or change of
you is not always a bad thing usually
sometimes it really gives you more
options most importantly use your pain
to fuel you until exhaustion to do and
learn inspirational and great things and
mind you that today is 14th of April and
I’m doing another dream of mine a TED
talk so happy birthday sis what a lovely
way to pursue my dreams to science in
order to figure out the truth and honor you thank you
