The Quantum Conundrum: Unmasking the Mystique with Andrei Khrennikov

 Meet the Rebel of Quantum Theory: Andrei Khrennikov

Today's post is a continuation of "This is not just quantum entanglement, this is hyperphysics!", and it features a true maverick of modern physics: Andrei Khrennikov. If you haven't heard of him, it's time to tune in. This mathematician isn't just content with playing by the rules—he's rewriting them. Khrennikov's publications are like a breath of fresh air in a room that's been stifled with half-baked theories and mathematical missteps for decades.

The Bell That Never Quite Rang True

Let’s start with Khrennikov’s 2008 paper, “Complete Account of Randomness in the EPR-Bohm-Bell Experiment” [1]. Sounds fancy, right? But what Khrennikov is really saying is this: we've all been duped by a misunderstanding. John Bell, bless his heart, was a physicist, not a mathematician. His famous theorem, which has fueled countless debates and existential crises in physics, was built on shaky probabilistic ground.

Here’s the crux of Khrennikov’s argument: the “paradoxical” results of Bell’s experiments aren't paradoxical at all—they’re just the result of using the wrong math. When you apply the correct probabilistic model, the whole spooky action-at-a-distance thing? Yeah, it vanishes into thin air. According to Khrennikov, what we have here is a classic case of bad math leading to even worse physics.

Quantum Entanglement? Not So Fast

But Khrennikov doesn’t stop there. In his follow-up paper, “Demystification of Quantum Entanglement,” [2]m he drops another bombshell. You know that thing physicists have been saying for years—that quantum entanglement is this mysterious, unexplainable phenomenon that defies all classical reasoning? Well, Khrennikov calls bull.

He proposes that what we’re really dealing with is just a fancy version of field manipulation. You thought quantum teleportation was about instantaneously zapping information across the universe? Nope. Khrennikov says it’s just a matter of preparing two systems that are correlated in a special way. It’s like setting up two dominoes and then acting surprised when knocking one over makes the other fall.

The Myth Lives On... In Children's Books?

Yet, while Khrennikov is busy debunking decades of quantum folklore, the myths just keep on spreading. Take Gribbin’s popular book “Quantum Physics: A Beginner’s Guide to the Subatomic World.” It’s full of pretty pictures and catchy conclusions like, “the moment we see that one ball is yellow, the other becomes blue, even when no one is watching.” 

Sounds profound, right? But it’s about as scientifically accurate as the stories in the Children’s Bible.

Einstein's Legacy and Khrennikov’s Limitations

Now, Khrennikov’s work is impressive, no doubt, but it’s not without its own set of limitations. He’s a mathematician, not a physicist. He knows how to spot a mathematical blunder, but when it comes to integrating his theories with the rest of physics, well, he’s at a bit of a loss. He’s like Einstein in his later years—searching for that elusive, pure field model, one that could tie everything together. Einstein, too, was obsessed with fields—a nonlinear, living field—but even he couldn’t quite crack the code.

Einstein's late calculations

And what about those extra dimensions? Einstein shied away from them, perhaps because they didn’t quite fit into his mental framework. Khrennikov doesn’t touch them either, but who knows? Maybe if Kaluza and Klein had been a little more persuasive—or Jewish, as a joke might go—Einstein might have ventured down that path.

In the end, Khrennikov may not have all the answers, but he’s certainly asking the right questions. And that, in the world of quantum physics, is half the battle won. So, next time you hear someone waxing poetic about quantum entanglement, just remember: sometimes, it’s not the universe that’s mysterious—it’s the math that’s a mess.

"It's a kind of magic. Firelight makes time stand still. When you put out the lamps and sit in the firelight's glow there aren't any rules any more. You can do what you want, say what you want, be what you want, and when the lamps are lit again, time starts again, and everything you said or did is forgotten. More than forgotten it never happened."

This is not just quantum entanglement, this is hyperphysics!

The Allure of Myths

Myths are thrilling!

We humans are funny creatures. We like to think of ourselves as rational beings, guided by facts and truths, but let's be honest: we thrive on myths. Why? Because truth, for all its nobility, is often dull. Myths, on the other hand, are thrilling! They're the juicy stories that give us a little buzz, a sweet shot of adrenaline. Suddenly, the meaning of life doesn't seem so pressing—there's excitement to be had! Something to believe in! Whether it's faith in religion or faith in science, we cling to our myths like a lifeline. Yes, even science, the beacon of truth and logic, is not immune to the lure of a good myth.

The Quantum Quagmire

Take quantum entanglement, for example. Sounds fancy, right? Like something straight out of a sci-fi movie. But at its core, it's just an ordinary, mundane property of complex quantum systems. Nothing to write home about. Yet, this humble phenomenon has been glorified, named, and mythologized to the point where you can't attend a dinner party without someone dropping "quantum entanglement" like it's the latest celebrity gossip. And heaven forbid you don't nod sagely and pretend to understand.

I had a reader, a physicist no less, who wrote to me just the other day. Now, this guy doesn't even dabble in quantum theory, but he felt compelled to chime in:

A Physicist’s Perspective

"I think Bell's article should be known, regardless of one's sympathies. It is simply always good to look at any issue from the broadest perspective, to know all the important aspects. Bell's work is undoubtedly something important in the whole discussion of quantum entanglement. You can disagree with its message—but even then, you should know it, or at least know something about it.

In short: general culture requires knowledge of myths, regardless of whether one is involved in these myths or not."

Hard to argue with that, right? It's the intellectual equivalent of saying, "You should really read Shakespeare, even if you prefer binge-watching reality TV."

The Truth, The Whole Truth, and Nothing But...

But here's where it gets interesting. My physicist friend, for all his wisdom, doesn't seem too concerned with the truth. And that puzzles me. Why is it that people think we should be well-versed in myths, able to toss them around like party favors, yet so few are interested in the cold, hard truth? It's as if truth is less important, a party crasher that ruins all the fun. And maybe that's exactly it. The truth has a nasty habit of popping our mythological bubbles, leaving us suspended in a void with nothing but reality to hold onto. And who wants that?

The Daredevils of Truth

These fearless fighters, these daredevils of reality, are few and far between. 

There are, of course, those rare souls who dare to seek the truth, come what may. These fearless fighters, these daredevils of reality, are few and far between. They’re often ridiculed, ostracized, and sometimes even lose their jobs. Society doesn't take kindly to truth-tellers. They're like modern-day Fausts, selling their souls for a glimpse of the real deal. Why? Because our society is infected with a nasty little bug called narcissism. And one of the telltale signs of this disease? A preference for myths over truth. "I know!" people declare, and what follows is a string of their favorite myths, served up with a side of self-assuredness.

The Myth of Us

So, why do we cling to myths? Perhaps it's because they give us something to hold onto, something to believe in when the truth feels too slippery, too uncertain. Or maybe it's just because myths are more fun. After all, who wants to be the party pooper who ruins a good story with facts? But every now and then, it's worth asking ourselves: What are we really chasing? The thrill of a good myth, or the solid ground of truth? The answer, my friends, might just be another myth we tell ourselves. 

I was watching the video "The  impossible experiment"

Similar experiments with distant influence have been described in 2017 in a paper by Serge Kernbach: "Replication experiment on distant influence on biological organisms conducted in 1986", published in Issue #E2 of International Journal of Unconventional Science. The Introduction has this paragraph:

"...  modern experiments on quantum communication [4] confirm his vision and approach. In general, the quantum interpretation of observed phenomena, in particular the phenomenon of entanglement inmacroscopic systems, has now received numerous experimental confirmations [5], [6], [7], [8]. Therefore, in the above mentioned polemic, modern works confirm the correctness of A.E.Akimov, although with a slightly different interpretation.". 

"Slightly different" means moving from "torsion fields" of Akimov and Shipov to "quantum entaglement" - whatever it means! From attempts to find the truth to myths. How can we explain anything using quantum theory, which itself desperately needs an "explanation"?

The discussion under the Youtube video has an interesting comment by "technomirfuture2228". I quote this comment in extenso:

 

Guys, this is not just quantum entanglement, this is hyperphysics! You work with hyperfield effects. 

What are hyperfields? 

These are the same physical fields, but existing in more than 4 dimensions, in other words, they are hyperprojections of the field onto our 3D world, some of them can be called informational - for example, the field of Consciousness, it does not transfer force interaction, but information, and this happens instantly, and at the physical level this manifests itself in the synchronization of the states of molecules, atoms and even macro-objects. 

Vladislav is right about something, if we consider our world as a dense vesal world, then it should have a more subtle prototype that contains information about everything that happens at the material level. 

Studying quantum fields, it became clear that all elementary particles are not independent, isolated objects, but rather constantly interacting field clots with the field space surrounding them, which we call the 4-dimensional space-time continuum, but this is not limited to this!!! 

Time, like space, has 3 dimensions, it is not linear. A person only feels the 4th dimension, but cannot see. 

It follows from this that we perceive the world in an extremely limited way, we live in 3 dimensions on which the shadow of the 4th is cast. 

Phantoms, ghosts, plasmoids cannot always be explained by standard optical or psychic phenomena; these are objects not from our 3-dimensional world, these are objects of hyperspace that were able to penetrate our plane of existence. 

The hierarchy of dimensions is built not only from top to bottom - from the source to the most basic level, but also vice versa from the basic level to the source, and this process is the evolution of the Universe and spirit. 

Spirit is the primary idea of ​​the world, this is Logos in its broadest understanding, this initial world is very simplified, everything exists potentially in it, in the form of information or primary quantum potentials, in order for the world to begin to develop, the realization of this potential must occur, in other words, descending projection and division into levels, densities, matter and energy, elementary particles, protons and neutrons, electrons, atoms, molecules, etc. 

Only in addition to our physical. plan, there are many levels or subtle planes of existence where there are their own worlds and their own laws, and my assumptions regarding the fact that everything in our world is connected are confirmed by scientific research, I am very glad that now is the time to look at these ideas in a new way and move from theoretical, to their experimental implementation, your experiments are very valuable for science and society,

 I think the accumulated knowledge will help humanity reach a new level of knowledge not only of the world around them, but also of themselves.

This is a poetic vision. How to make real science out of this vision?

Oxford Mathematician DESTROYS Atheism In Less Than 15 Minutes

Plato and The Value of Myths and Parables

 In the following posts, I will take look at religion and Science from another angle, and I will do it exploiting the theme of the old Greek myth of Creation and Theogony. 

Why do I use a myth instead of restricting myself to a purely rational and logical argument? Part of my reason is contained in the following quote from Plato’sRepublic, Book VII

 (where also the famous “cave” story can be found):

And whereas the other so called virtues of the soul seem to be akin to bodily qualities, for even when they are not originally innate they can be implanted later by habit and exercise, the virtue of wisdom more than anything else contains a divine element which always remains, and by this conversion is rendered useful and profitable; or, on the other hand, hurtful and useless. Did you never observe the narrow intelligence flashing from the keen eye of a clever rogue–how eager he is, how clearly his paltry soul sees the way to his end; he is the reverse of blind, but his keen eyesight is forced into the service of evil, and he is mischievous in proportion to his cleverness.

Very true, he said.

But what if there had been a circumcision of such natures in the days of their youth; and they had been severed from those sensual pleasures, such as eating and drinking, which, like leaden weights, were attached to them at their birth, and which drag them down and turn the vision of their souls upon the things that are below --if, I say, they had been released from these impediments and turned in the opposite direction, the very same faculty in them would have seen the truth as keenly as they see what their eyes are turned to now.

Plato through the mouth of his teacher, is telling us that while we all have the necessary faculties for seeing the world, we are not always using them at their full strength – because some of our habits have been instilled deeply in us, without our permission, by our upbringing and education. The same theme shows up, though not as directly as in Plato, in the following excerpts from the New Testament:

And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?

He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.

Therefore speak me to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. (Mat 13:10 -13)

When we are listening to parables, our automatic censoring mechanisms are circumvented, imagination is turned on, our minds are more open to reception, our inborn faculties of perceiving what is new with a fresh mind are enhanced. We all know the symptoms of allergy: sometimes we get badly sick for no good reason at all, like from innocent pollen in the air. Our natural immune system is not always working for us in a rational way. So, working through myth may have the same function as an antihistaminic drug – sometimes we really need it.

P.S.2. 16-03-23 8:40 So, the paper on Generalized Uncertainty Relation that I am reviewing is supposed to be a PhD dissertation of the younger author. I am now having a conversation with the supervisor - the first author of the paper. Trying to understand the math!

Category Theory rulez? No. Gravity rulez.

To understand it I had to consult first "Uncertainty Relation in Quantum Mechanics with Quantum Group Symmetry" and "Quantum Field Theory with Nonzero Minimal Uncertainties" by Achim Kempf.

I also have learned that the New Year is coming soon (March 20) in Iran!

P.S.3. 16-03-23 9:19 What do you call a constructivist who's recently accepted the Axiom of Choice?
