Quantum physics, if you have to wrap it into one sentence, is about probabilities collapsing into one reality when perceived. Some physicists actually believe that this "perceiving" has to be done by a consciousness. (Let's just let this stand as-is for the moment.)
Some theists then argue that the "metastability" of the multiverse is thus the unlimited creativity of God, who "gives" us this universe.
That's what I have read on the internet, following the recent discussion on a statement of Lawrence M. Krauss that has been circulated, among others, on userfriendly.org (the 2007-12-03 strip and discussion) and Slashdot.
Then, my mind jumped. What if it is the other way around? What if the atheists actually got it right, and those who believe that we had contact with or are descendants of a spacefaring race? Let me elaborate...
What if, back in the dawn of time, there was a people who really understood quantum physics in-deep, but their knowledge was lost in darkness, and all that remained was a vague idea of something larger, something bigger, of our future not being "written" but... well... metastable until perceived?
I'm probably not making much sense here, but I wanted to write this thought down before it slips away.
No, I haven't taken any drugs.
