Physicists invented/discovered ways to emit single particles. These emitters emit two particles in opposite directions.

Physicists discovered a property about particles they called "spin". Basically you can draw a plane parallel to the floor that the particle zooms along. Either it's spin is pointing upwards relative to this plane, or it is pointing downwards (let's presume never exactly along the plane). But you could also put the plane upright and then it's spin is defined as either left or right. You could rotate that plane around 360 degrees and measure from any angle you want, and your detector will give you binary answer saying which side of the plane the spin was on.

Interestingly, the opposite particle that comes out the opposite side of the emitter has the exact opposite spin. Every. Single. Time. No matter how you orient these spin detectors, they are opposite. 100% coorelation.

If you measure one particle UP and DOWN, and the other particle LEFT and RIGHT, there is 0% coorelation. These perpinduclar directions are independent.

No suprises. All of this is as you would expect.

Now, if you measure one particle against an UP and DOWN detector, and the other particle against a 45% slanted plane, they are coorelated 86.666% of the time.

That is what is weird.

Amazing! Spooky!

You didn't get it, did you? Yeah, it's not obvious. But that outcome is fucking impossible.

They should be coorelated I think 70.7% of the time maximum IIRC.

And because of this physicts have tried to come up with a hypothesis as to what is going on. How can the coorelations be this high? Some of the hypotheses include the following super crazy and spooky ideas:

1) The particles are "communicating" somehow in order to increase their coorelation. It turns out that they would not only have to be communicating somehow (nobody knows how) but also that communcation would have to be faster than the speed of light. This hypothesis is called NON-LOCALITY, spooky action at a distance. Some kind of instant communcication between these particles, or some belief that the two particles are actually somehow just one particle but in two completely different spatial positions.

2) That the universe isn't locally "real", that what we observe is not objectively real, but depends on who is looking, that the outcome (the spin) is not actually an objective fact, but depends who is looking and is different for different people (but we could never prove that). Things like the multiverse come to mind. They reject realism in order to preserve locality.

3) That the universe is super-determined, that God set it in motion in just such a way that the outcomes of these particular experiments would happen to yield coorelations higher than what is possible.

YES, those are all CRAZY beliefs, but most physicists actually beileve in one of them.

I reject them all.

What I believe is really going on is related to the following observations:

1) The particle emitter might be influenced by the setting of the spin measurement devices, mediated via the particle, backwards in time. Now that backwards in time thing is where my idea seems totally crazy, but actually it is only backwards in time from our Einsteinian relativistic perspective. From the perspective of the particle, it experiences no time at all. The time it was emitted and the time it's spin was measured are the very same instant from it's own frame of reference. I postulate that causation can only travel sideways and forwards in time, as long as somebody's relativistic perspective allows it. So it's not really backwards.

2) This causes the emitter to tend to fail to emit the particles when they would not be coorelated, causing a Berkson's bias or a collider.

3) Relativity is conserved. Locality is conserved. Realism is conserved. Superdeterminism is not needed. All the nutty ideas are unnecessary.

- Voucher Plugin: I demoed this with nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m to show how we can have this tech as part of FOSS stack and streamline onboarding people through a network of merchants. In the second half of 2024, I will release the final version, once all other pieces are in place.

- Bolt Card Functionality: nostr:npub1zfytz6ktce3av2svlfpl0e79e44tnskxmvlpkcmc7q0xct3qa49swvm60l integrated it directly into nostr:npub155m2k8ml8sqn8w4dhh689vdv0t2twa8dgvkpnzfggxf4wfughjsq2cdcvg, and we battle-tested it during nostr:npub1h493d0qgwhu95s82zd9sxrt3ckn3ttgvaf04z02neckadxw5fkvqte4cwz. The final release is coming soon for all who want to create their own Bolt Card Banks.

- Point of Sale: The work that nostr:npub1za04drthlvxtwsq0phwc4mgh8rxhjafjkv2w7pf6ze5afka8gvaquadur3, nostr:npub1y24gz5gwucl79vtv4ctwpysl0r5m4xyzu2rgulnr44ks3t5mt92q4nz2ad, nostr:npub14j7wc366rf8efqvnnm8m68pazy04kkj8fgu6uqumh3eqlhfst0kqrngtpf, nostr:npub1qm72nur0wn8cdgt0unp0amzssuqxg03tzpd4r87e856nxtz344fs6g74md did along with other BTCPay contributors over the last year on this front has been amazing. And then nostr:npub13ljnkd633c7maxatymv3y2fqq8vt3qk7j3tt0vytv90eztwgha9qmfcfhw plugin along with Bitcoinize device creates a perfect setup. I’ll continue to support and participate in POS deployments because refining this technology is crucial, so it’s the best possible for circular economies that want to deploy it.

- Payroll Plugin: I'm dedicated to solo development and evangelism whenever possible - I derive a lot of motivation from now seeing how many Bitcoin companies use this plugin to streamline their monthly payouts and save time.

- Evangelizing: I won’t just promote stuff I develop - with PayJoin/CoinJoin videos I have promoted great work others did; work that now can be critical when centralized coordinators are shutting down.

- Supporting Creators: Those who cover efforts and create content around what FOSS contributors develop will always have my support. That’s what my trip to nostr:npub1rjtrs7xqdvj3588r9njrexh2n750j7jdwx9qs543nutmdsj6ljaqpfmp8a with nostr:npub1rj7eh0eu3skwcyr5adpcjwxft9z4yjdspjryq6gynqw2j49f9a3quqjpw2 was all about.

- Nostr: Any additional time I have will be devoted to Nostr until #Nostriga. I've invested considerable time in the past year and a half helping organize events around the protocol I see as the one that will bring freedom of communication to masses. I hope you've enjoyed them.

So, if you ever see me, Uncle, doing something and wonder what is behind it - see this post.

Number go up, but also number of Bitcoiners go up. That’s what it’s all about for me.

And any help and support you send to ensure we succeed in this mission will be appreciated.
