I think quantum gravitation requires a new form of equivalence principle. This equivalence principle states that two reference frames are inertial if the entanglement or entangled states they share maintain that entanglement. So, two frames in a gravitational field will maintain a quantum entanglement if they are on geodesics, even if there is a rapid geodesic deviation. Another way to think of this is that a vacuum state is a pure state on geodesic paths. The topological obstructions with different entanglements under a variational perturbation gives a form of GR dynamics.
The relationship between entanglement and gauge symmetries is similar to the Qi. That this equivalence principle maintains a vacuum, or the entanglement of two vacua, as a pure state is a sort of “Tao in a vessel” idea. These are as I say parallel, and in the end Qu and Tao are just idea, and as Lao Tse put it, the names of these are not the eternal names. In college I got into marshal arts a bit. I did not pursue it terribly far, for I did not like the idea of breaking my nose or having concussions in more competitive sparring. However, the Qi is in a sense the whole of what is Kung Fu. The Force in Star Wars is a sort of simple-minded idea of Qi. This is the basis for all action and being. In the physics I have been doing things are at least remarkably parallel to that. With my background with Catholicism and Judaism, I chose the latter. Judaism is the old crone of monotheism, and with events of 1933-45 there is the big question of “where was Ha Shem who chose us?” In the end there may simply be no such God and as Singer put it, “Why does the fiddler stay on the roof?” “Tradition” In the end it is about people. My feeling about monotheism in general is that it is a set of zombie beliefs. These continue onwards, even though the intellectual and scientific developments of recent centuries have rendered then meaningless. It is also interesting how those who are the most religious also cause the most mischief in the world. Even with Judaism, the Hassids cause the most trouble to Palestinians, and there is a sticky problem there. There are of course the Islamic extremists, and Christian fundamentalists have a range of insane ideas, including the need to launch nuclear missiles to bring Jesus back. We really should be done with these things, except maybe as some mythic set of traditions. LC -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
