Comment on Controlling Pure Energy and Transforming It into Matter

I’ve always wondered. You know how light travels the fastest path possible. That’s why it refrects when changing from air to water.
As we do textbook physics, we open our table, look up the respective refractive indices, use trigonometry, and can with reasonable accuracy predict where the beam ends up.
How does the electron in the beam know the fastest path, as it’s moving through the different matters?

That is a really interesting way of seeing it! Then that’d make sense that everything happening to me. Was already meant and known to happen.

There’s a counter example to that, too. You’ve knowledge of the double split experiment?

Can I ask what if each individual their way of seeing the world could influence how it works. With enough logical thinking such as this idea with magic I originally created. To me it may work because it works within the law of nature but as you highlighted your own idea. Maybe that would be more how it’d happen for you. Though we all come out at the same end point.

Exactly! That’s why I brought up the double split experiment. And layed emphasis on “imagine you’re the electron”.

I’ll be completely honest Physics is one of the topics I know the least about. So sadly no but please share. I love science.

It again has to do with “where does light end up, given setup X”.
Where we previously, in the refraction example, could refer to lookup tables. Now we can’t. There’s no predicting where a photon will end up.
Einstein rejected this idea. The quote is “god does not play dice”.
Yet experiments show: the photon decided one way, not the other. Science so far hasn’t been able to predict which way.
