Schrodinger’s Cat, and Why Hope?
Michael Lake is a person who likes to ponder the mysteries of physics. He writes:
If multiple possible futures exist until we chose one, then why could we not have multiple possible pasts? For this idea to work, we would only know the possible past(s) that fit out current location in space/time. If this idea does not work, then the “arrow of time” may tie in. Many particle reactions appear valid if you look at them forward or backward in time. You might think that multiple timelines, particle reactions, and the arrow of time all tie together.
He has posted a .pdf document of some of his ideas about abstract physics, which were, sadly, used against him negatively as evidence of schizophrenia by doctors. We believe that such abstract and creative thinking should instead be encouraged by doctors. People with mental disorders should be strongly encouraged to explore their gifts and pursue their unconventional ideas, rather than being pressured into hiding the “evidence” that they are unwell.
Michael also runs a website called WhyHope.com, where he speaks out about the stigma and hatred he faced as a person with manic depression.
