Powerball

The idea that quantum physics present (or at least what I understood from "What the bleep?") is the possibility that all possibilities occur when not observed. What? Exactly! Given an event (any event), the outcome of the event is all possible results until observed by an observer. Humans, me and you, are observers. We see things through our eyes which are interpreted by our brain. The idea is that until we actually see what we see, all results occur. The idea is described as a sine function of all possible outcomes and at the moment an observer is introduced, the sine function collapses to a point (or single solution/result). Therefore, if we focus our brains on a particular outcome, the outcome is more likely to occur. The one example that is illustrated in the documentary is the Washington DC study on crime rates. The experiment required a number of people meditating in Washington DC, focusing their energy on lowering the crime rate. The end result – a 25% decrease in crime. Coincidence or not?

After pondering this idea for some time, I decided to apply the idea to my actual life. On the outside most people would not know that I’m completely broke. I owe more money that I can count and as the days go on, I'm forced to borrow more and more money. When will it end? Since yesterday, I made a purchase. The cost - $1 - a single powerball ticket. 6 numbers to match – 54 million dollars win. To apply quantum physics to this event, I will never look at the numbers on my ticket. Therefore, after the drawing date I will be a powerball winner. If I do not observe my numbers, my ticket contains all possible numbers including the winning numbers. Thus, I will become a millionaire and will finally have my head above water once again. Obviously for this case, the sine wave collapses the moment the computer identifies a winner based on the numbers drawn. What would that mean once AI is born. I’m referring to the AI that can completely think for itself. Once a computer can make decisions how does quantum physics apply. Would the world be finite? After all, humans would be the ones to provide the computer’s logic. Where am I going with this?
