Quantum questions

Entropy is defined as the number of substates in a state, and QFT says the state of a quanta contains a superposition of every possible states, or infinite substates. Is superposition a property of entropy?

If you can use a double slit in time to set certain bands of frequencies contained in the light, is it possible to do calculations on the full spectrum, then use a prism or scattering to separate the frequencies so the information is not lost when it is observed?

Is it possible to model a photon as a point the propagates an EM wave that travels behind the photon like a wake, but make the photon highly subjective to its own field, making the interference with itself that feels so confusing?

Mass is a process that “burns” spacetime

Currently, spacetime is pulling us towards the earth at 9.81 m/s^2. Gravity pulling us feels conceptually simple, but the fabric of space time moving towards a singular point at an accelerating rate, and never slowing down doesn’t.

It might be more useful to view spacetime as a thermal substrate. In that I mean exhibiting particle like behavior with coarse grained properties like heat and pressure. This is semi consisten with quantum vacuum energy. If we view space-time as particle like, then gravity is pressure. Low pressure areas pull higher pressure areas in.

If matter is somehow “burning” spacetime, then it will always create a low pressure environment around it, and will create a constant acceleration of spacetime like we see.

The trick is somehow relating time to the flow-rate of spacetime. The faster you go, the slower your time. The higher the gravity, the faster your time. In both scenarios, that faster the flow of spacetime you experience, the slower you experience it.

Also, light could be a particle and a wave, in a similar way that wave can be P or S wave. An S wave is continuous, a P wave is a pulse or packet of density.

This is all I have so far. Thoughts?

Ps. Spacetime probably contains particles we will never detect, that have hidden variable adjusting time and energy.

Yes, some drivers are asshats. They put everyone’s life in danger to get to the red light first, and make rash last minute decisions like we are in video game. But those people stand out like a cybertruck.

Why do they stand out? Because Missoula is full of good drivers. The majority of us give more room than is needed, communicate clearly to other drivers, and are kind drivers while still being predictable. No one goes on reddit to say they had a pretty standard drive with no incidents.

Thank you Missoulians, for always stopping for pedestrians and bikes. For waiting for a safe time to turn. For driving ~5 over, but not tailing when people drive 5 under. To all those that recognize driving a vehicle is a matter of public safety, and take that responsibility seriously. Love you missoula.
