Can we change the future? A scientific view...

.

I was reading this article from 1998 about quantum theory – I know it’s pretty old…, but there was something about it that struck me! It’s maybe also because I’m reading this book that contains a lot of prescience characteristics or just my open mind.
So, I decided to put together all this scientific evidence with one scope – Can we change the future? Do we have an influence on our future?

An extract from the article on ScienceDaily (Feb. 27, 1998)

“demonstrating how a beam of electrons is affected by the act of being observed. The experiment revealed that the greater the amount of "watching," the greater the observer's influence on what actually takes place(...)When a quantum "observer" is watching Quantum mechanics states that particles can also behave as waves. This can be true for electrons at the submicron level, i.e., at distances measuring less than one micron, or one thousandth of a millimeter. When behaving as waves, they can simultaneously pass through several openings in a barrier and then meet again at the other side of the barrier. This "meeting" is known as interference.
Strange as it may sound, interference can only occur when no one is watching. Once an observer begins to watch the particles going through the openings, the picture changes dramatically: if a particle can be seen going through one opening, then it's clear it didn't go through another. In other words, when under observation, electrons are being "forced" to behave like particles and not like waves. Thus the mere act of observation affects the experimental findings.

To demonstrate this, the researchers built a tiny device measuring less than one micron in size, which had a barrier with two openings. They then sent a current of electrons towards the barrier. The "observer" in this experiment wasn't human.(…) Apart from "observing," or detecting, the electrons, the detector had no effect on the current. Yet the scientists found that the very presence of the detector-"observer" near one of the openings caused changes in the interference pattern of the electron waves passing through the openings of the barrier. (…)when the "observer's" capacity to detect electrons increased, in other words, when the level of the observation went up, the interference weakened; in contrast, when its capacity to detect electrons was reduced, in other words, when the observation slackened, the interference increased. Thus, by controlling the properties of the quantum observer the scientists managed to control the extent of its influence on the electrons' behaviour” (Reference Weizmann Institute Of Science (1998, February 27).

I hope you just read this article as carefully as I did.
A psychiatric study at the Dream Laboratory at Maimonides Hospital, New York that took place for over 40 years tested the hypothesis that sleeping subjects could dream about aspects of randomly selected target material, for example, films, drawings, photographs, or art prints. The research approached the subject of “remote viewing” (the practice of seeking impressions about a distant or unseen target using paranormal means), prescient dreams (perception through dreams that involves the acquisition or effect of future information), and telepathy (the induction of mental states from one mind to another). These experiments were positive.

 

Alain Aspect, a French physicist, in 1982 discovered that subatomic particles such as elections are able to automatically - instantaneously - simultaneously communicate with each other regardless of the distance separating them. The speed of the information that flows in between is higher than light speed, inverting thus the time.

In quantum mechanics, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle states by precise inequalities that certain pairs of physical properties, such as position and momentum, cannot be simultaneously known to arbitrarily high precision. That is, the more precisely one property is measured, the less precisely the other can be measured.

According to the de Broglie hypothesis, every object in our Universe is a wave, a situation which gives rise to this phenomenon. Consider the measurement of the position of a particle. The particle's wave packet has non-zero amplitude, meaning that the position is uncertain – it could be almost anywhere along the wave packet. To obtain an accurate reading of position, this wave packet must be 'compressed' as much as possible, meaning it must be made up of increasing numbers of sine waves added together. The momentum of the particle is proportional to the wavenumber of one of these waves, but it could be any of them. So a more precise position measurement – by adding together more waves – means that the momentum measurement becomes less precise (and vice versa).

And then, come all the questions:
Is our future written?  Can one to influence it?  Do we really have a free will? 

In the book – my hero can see the future of his life, but he also has a glimpse of a something else beyond his life. And that something else, makes him decide to change his life in order to change that far future. But, how do you know you are making the right choices? The uncertainty principle. More you focus on the future, more you lose sight of the present, more you focus on the present, more you lose contact with the future. Fair?
But…by following the quantum theory – by barely being present here today – a mere observer of your future you are influencing your future. In other words the system is to be found in a given state at a given time – the universe wants that future to happen. Let’s say you don’t want to follow that future, so you change something. The path adjusts its self to the new course.
Lame, as it may sound – but “the Secret” theory seems to have a base. To simplify this - once you glimpse something, you make it real. Or maybe not – just focus on the present…
